NEW YORK, Oct 29.--Sunday Is alway
a quiet day with politicians. At the polit
ical headquarters In this city yesterday thu
work OF correspondence was carried on as
usual, but there werc fcy visitors. At the
Grant headquarters Mr.. Grants letter of
acceptance OF the Tammany nomination
was made public.
In his letter Grant says, among other
things: Wherever the responsibility lies,
police blackmail and corruption are In
tolcrable. join every right-minded citi-
izcn i'm its condemnation and desire for its
punishment The root OF the evil, how
,ycr lies in the system. and now that pub
lie attention has been attracted and pub
lie support guaranteed, ! shall, II elected,
do all in my power 70 hasten correction
of every abuse.
81 advocate the thorough reorganization
of the police department on such a basis as
will render II impossible for such corrup-
ton as has prevailed to continue or exist.
''The success of the municipal ticket
should be subordlnated TO the defeat Of
the reapportionmcnt and the election of
the Democratic state ticket"
Colonel Strong's headquarters were
closed during the day, and Strong was not

supporters.
A Serious Change.
At Republican headquarters long dis
patch was received from Albany and was
at once given out for publication to the
effect that the employees In the state de-
partments there were employed in prepar-
ing and distributing thousands of cam
paign documents in the interests of the
llatoncrata Qha Iienutch Gavs A., mart.
"The campaign work which should be done
by the Democratic state committee Is thus
forced upon state departments and paid
for from the state treasury. These docu-
mcnts are printed by State Printer James
Il. Lyons, and large force of the depart
mcnt clerks are taken from their duties to
the state to shove out, in individual en-
velopes, Hills campaign documents"
IL was announced that exPrcsident
Harrison has consented to speak from his
car on his way back to Indiana. 1t was
said that the ex-president would give
few talks on his way up through the state
from the car platform, the first to bo at
Albany next Friday.
The Registration
in New York and Brooklyn Is very salts
factorily regarded by the Republicans,
also, their leaders claiming that the Wig.
iIance which has been manifested In re-
gard to ropeaters throughout the state
will make difference of 10000 votes to
the Republican state ticket.
Corrections made in the returns show a
total registration in this city OF 309, $50,
the largest registration ever recorded In
New York. The largest preceding was
that Of 1892 which reached n total of 309,-
025. The registration of 1898 was 265. .9OS.
The recent arrest of several hundred
men for alleged fraudulent registration,
IL Is believed. has had deterrent effect,
and the large registration is considered a
big increase In men entitled to cast their
ballots District Attorney John X. Eel
lows, however. expressed himself as not
at all surprised at the registration. He
though there was nothing extraordinary
In 1t, and said he could see nothing sub
stantial to be derived from either side
from 1t.
Word was received at headquarters
from the Republican state committee
men In Essex county that after con-
ference the two opposing candidates had
withdrawn and that Albert Weed of Tt
conderoga had been nominated as the Re-
publican candidate for assembly There
Is now no ulStrlCt dOoNc tne furiem river
where there are two opposing candidates
Tor assembly running against a Demo-
crat.
The Chief Interest
of the present week among Republicans
centers In the appearance Of ex-President
Harrison on Wednesday evening next at
Carnegie Music hall.
In Democratic circles the start today. Of
-
state in the interests of the Democratic
state ticket Is arousing good deal of in
terest because of the master stroke tho
Democrats claim Chairman Thatcher has
made In securing the services OF the gov
ernor on so important n mission.
There has been disposition on the part
Of the various organizations here TO make
public their allegiance to the respective
tickets. The execurtve board of the
rrand lodge Of the Independent Order of
Sons Of Benjamin, however, resolved not
TO permit the use Of its name i'm connec-
ton with politics.
This decision was arrived at at a meet
Ing Of the board yesterday, at which reso-
lutions were adopted repudiating any at
tempt to make use OF the order for any
political purpose whatever. This action
was taken because, it was said. an at
tempt had been made to represent the or
der as opposed TO the candidacy of Senator
Hill.
