NEW YORK, Oct. 30-No twithstand d.
ing the quiet appearance Of the differ
emit political headquarters, a great
deal of active work is ia progress
both there and outside and there is
no doubt that the leaders Of all the
organizations are fully alive to the
fact that only a week remains before
the day of election All express the
utmost confidence in the success of
their respective tickets. So far as
the city is concerned, the Tammany
men place great reliance on their
thorough organization. and even
their opponents admit that the full
Tammany vote will be polIed- The
adherents OF the committee of sew
enty base their firm belief in win
ming upon the conviction that there
will be, regardless of ordinary polit-
zeal methods, an uprising Of people
such as overthrow the Tammany rule
in 1871
Much of the quiet work done yes
terday was directed toward detecting
frauds in registration and toward ar
ranging to get to the polls without
fail all who are duly registered
Men who seldom take part in poll
tics are laboring to make converts of
personal friends, and there has sell
dom been a campaign in which there
were more private political discus
sions. Perhaps the most important
incident Of the day was the attempt
of an evening newspaper to implicate
Colonel Strong in an old matter in
volving leanings toward the A. T. A.,
and his prompt denial of any inten-
tional participation in it.
There were many Democra tic poll
t1cians at the state headquarters, es-
pecially from the Hudson river cOun-
ties and sea board.
Among the speakers from other
states whose services have been Sc
cured for the closing efforts of the
Hill Democrats IN New York are
Chauncey z. Black, the latest Demo
cratic lieutenant governor of Penn
sylvania, and James Kerr, clerk of the
house of representa- tives- The speak
ing campaign is to be continued up to
Saturday night all over the state, and
the number of NEE tings held IN small
places will be beyond precedent in
any state campaign Of similar dura-
ton.
1t was announced at state Demo
cratic headquarters that John NJ
Sheehan, president of the Sheehan
club, Of the Twentieth assem- bly, dis
trict, had sent in his resignation from
Tammany hall and with twenty
other voters has joined the State
Democracy organization.
At a meeting of the Real Estate
Exchange Honest Government c1u b,
last evening, reso1u tions were pass ed
and Tammany hall was vigorously
assaulted. President Seth Low. Of
Columbia college. and General L.
Woods, General Wager Wayne and
ex- Score tary Fairchild were among
the speakers. A lie tier from Levi P
Morton was read. IN which the Re-
pu blican nominee for governor de-
clared himself in full sympathy with
the aims and purposes Of the club.
He thought it would be wiser. owing
to his candidacy, for him not to be-
come a member Of any political
organizat ton
Comparatively little betting on the
result of the elections is being done
except on the stock exchange There
are odds of 10 to 8 that Norton plu-
rality for governor VIII exceed Is, 900,
f. T.. Adams placing 50. 600 against
81 GOO Of E. H- Meyers money An
offer was made by one Of the Worm
sers to put 81, 600 to $500 on the plain
proposition of Morton's election but
there was no taker few bets have
been placed on the may0ralty issue at
500 to $50 in. favor Of Strong
AS rule though. Republican money
is held for bets on better terms.
