NEW YORK, Oct. 3I.-Affairs at politi-
cal headquarters to-day were very dull
AS far as the Republican and Democratic
headquarters were concerned, the quiet
was partly accounted for by the explana-
Iion that many of the managers who live
outside the city had gone to their home
districts to take part in local canvasses
The attention OF those remaining was
specially directed to the mass meeting al
Tammany Hall and the Republican mass
meeting at the Carnegie Music Hall.
at the Democratic headquarters the
managers said that the canvass shows g
$1,000 majority for the Democrats in New
York and II 900 in Kings County. They
added: ''Of course the Republican ma
jority north of the Harlem River will moi
reach 10000. Governor Flower, most
astute political observer, says 10000
This will give Senator Hill a clear ma
jority of $1,000.
John Halloran was at the State Demo
cratic headquarters this afternoon with
SO 900 to bet on the election of Strong and
Coil, but no one appeared 10 take up any
OF his offers, which were $1,000 to d, 00O
on Strong and Golf each, and $1,000 even
on the election of both.
At the Grant headquarters it was given
out that delegation OF colored voters
called on MIR. Grant, and assured him OF
their support. 1t was also announced
that Charles Robinson, one of the editors
OF the North 1IHericd7t ReUleU, and a
mem Der of the State Democracy, had an
nounced his intention OF supporting Mr..
Grant, as it was stated that Strong was
considered not outspoken against the a.

HARRISON AND MORTON.
NEW YORK, Oct. 3I.-EX-President
Harrison spoke at Carnegie Hall this
evening. The meeting was held under
the auspices ofthe Republican State Com
nittee TO ratify the nomination OF Nor
ton and SaXton. When the doors were
opened at Z O'Clock the street was
crowded. When 5000 persons were
packed into the hail there were still
many thousands outside seeking admit
tance. AS the band concluded familiar
air, two gentlemen in clerical attire were
ushered across the platform. Some OF
those in the hall recognized one of them
as Archbishop Ireland OF st. Paul, Minn.
His companion was Bishop Nice GoIdrick
of Duluth.
1t was $50 and nearer o'clock when
Mr. Morton put in an appearance. The
audience was getting impatient, and
George ". Stephens said ex-Judge Noah
Davis would entertain them pending the
arrival of the speakers. he had spoken
only few minutes when there was d
commotion at the door and Messrs. Har-
rison and Morton appeared, accompanied
by Charles w. Hackett, Chairman of the
State Committee. Their arrival was sig
nallZed by great outburst of enthusi-
asm. The people stood up, waving flags,
hats and handkerchiefs, and cheered un-
til they were hoarse.
Alter some preliminaries Mr.. Morton
was introduced as the President of the
meeting. He said: 81 am honored by
being called upon to preside over this
vast assemblage or the city OF New York.
L thank you Tor your cordial greeting,
and for the hearty welcome you have eX-
tended to the soldier citizen, with whom
1t was my privilege to be associated in
official circles year ago. 1t has been
foreign to my inclinations to take part in
public meetings after my nomination to
public office. 1 desire to be judged by
The record l have made, rather than by
professions manufactured for the occa-
sion. If / am not worthy to administer
the great trust which will be committed
to me when the will of the Republican
State Convention is ratified by the peo-
pie. nothing l can now say will relieve
the situation. The issue herein involves
the power of honest men to govern them
selves by an honest administration of
public affairs, and while l should not fail
TO battle for the right with all my ener-
gies, should prefer even now not to OBJ
necessarily involve candidates as well as
principles, did L not warmly desire to
stand once more by the side of a valued
friend, in his greatly distinguished pres
ence.
''The people are engaged in one of the
most important contests ever waged in
this country. The standard of victory
was set a few weeks ago by Maine in the
Last and by Vermont in the North and
1t is the earnest hope of the friends of
Republican principles and the lovers of
good government throughout the land
that the Empire State Will, on Tuesday
next, indorSe these victories and affirm
the verdict which she herself rendered q
year ago. Because of this widespread
hope, and in the earnest desire TO advance
its fultillment, citizen of Indiana.
reSolute in war and accomplished in the
civil councils of the Nation, has come to
this city to lend you the encouragement
of his salutation and give you the ripe
results of his observations and expert
ence. l shall no longer detain you, and
now have the pleasure OF presenting
General benjamin Harrison"
Mr.. Harrison said: II thought ] had
made an intiexible resolution that [
would not speak in this campaign out
side the limits of Indiana, but L have
found, as often happened before N my
experience, that infieXible resolutions
have ta bend. l did not make this reso-
luton because l SAW any impropriety in
one who had received at the hands OF his
feIlow-citizens the highest civil honor
addressing his fellow-citizens of any of
the States upon public questions. l was
not quite willing to accept the philosophy
of some that the only appropriate habili-
ment for an eX-President was mummy
cloth. TAppIause.] at the same time /
very fully realize that am under limila-
ton i'll discussing public questions.
cannot say much about the last admin
istratiou, and il is somewhat delicate for
me to speak about the present.
''But, my fellow citizens. they are of
very little consequence i'll the administra-
ton of our public affairs. They do not
turn events. The important matter is the
principle or policies that their respective
parties represent, and of these feel very
free to speak, and if you will give me
your attention l will, for little while,
give you my views as to the tendency OF
the policies of the Republican party,
which believe to be benehcent and
helpful and patriotic, and OF the tendency
OF the Democratic party, which L be-
Heye to be hurtful and destructive.
In this great country of ours, the Sis
terhood OF States. this Union under one
nag ana one Constitution, there IS such a
community of influence, such an inter-
mlnglIng OF influences that no election
can in any proper sense be said to be
local. 1t is OF consequence, and ought to
be OF consequence to all the people OF
