as an absolute certainty that Secretary
Carlisle was stopped from delivering a
political address in New York by the per-
sonal request of the President. While the
Secretary's change of purpose has been
supposed to have been due more to politi-
cal in duenc than to the pressure Of Off
cial business, it has not until to-day been
said with absolute positiveness that he,was
commanded not TO speak. The official an
nouncement made this afternoon by Sec
retary Carlisle that be will make no
political addresses during the pending
campaign either in New York or in mis-
own State of Kentucky caused much
comment. Whatever may have been the
motives inducing Mr.. Cleveland to with
hold even his moral support from Senator
Hill in his great struggle, this eleventh
hour final decision to not only maintai
silence himself but to impose gag upon
his chief subordinates has created a small
mutiny in the Treasury Department. 1t
had been hoped by employees from New
York State that Secretary Carlisle would
make speech in behalf of Senator
Hill, which could be so smo0thed
over as to have "a compeEsaiing

NEW YORK, Oct. 29.-Notwithstanding
the quiet appearance of the different
political headquarters to-day, great deal
OF active political work was in progress
both there and outside. and there is no
doubt that the leaders of all the organiza-
tions are fully alive to the fact that only
week remains before the day Of election.
All express the utmost confidence of
success. 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 polled. The adherents of the
committee of seventy ticket base their
firm belief ia winning upon the conviction
that there will he, regardless of ordinary
political methods. an uprising of people
such as overthrew the Tammany ticke; in
1871. Much of the quiet work done to-day
was directed toward detecting frauds In
registration and toward arranging TO get
to the polls without fail all who are duly
registered.
Men who seldom take an active part in
politics are lab0riDg TO make converts of
personal friends, and there has seldom
been a campaign in which there was more
private POLITICAL discussion. Perhaps the
most important incident of the day was
the attempt of an evening newspaper to
implicate Colonel Strong in an old matter
involving leanings toward the a. p. A.
and mis- prompt denial OF any intentional
participation in it.
There were many Democratic roliiicians
at the State headquarters, especially from
the Hudson River counties and the sea-
| board.
Among the speakers from other States
whose services have been secured for the
closing efforts of the Hill Democrats in
| New York are Chauneey F. Black, lately
| Democratic Lieutenant-G Governor of Penn
| sylvanja and James Carr, clerk of the
l1UuSo VI lIhCElcStllbdtifccs 0c speaking
| campaign is to be continued up to Saiur-
day night all over the State, and the num-
| Der of meetings held in small places up TO
| that day will be beyond precedent in any
State campaign OF similar duration.
1t was announced at Stale Democratic
headquarters that John NJ. Sheehan, presi-
| dent of the Sheehan Club of the Twenti-
eth Assembly District, has sent in bis
resignation from Tammany Hall to-day,
aud that ne and the members of his club,
| 118 in all. had joined the State Demo-
| cratic organization of the district, of which
| p. w. Cremey is chairman. 1t was also
| announced that Austin j. Reilly of the
same Assembly district had resigned from
| Tammany Hall, and with two other voters
| had Joined the State Democratic oIganiza-
tion.
The attention OF Mr.. Jerome, campaign
manager at the headquarters of the Com
mittee Of Seventy, was directed this fore
/ mon to report emanatiDg from the
| Grant headquarters TO the effect that the
committee had violated the statute of 1892
| by sending out circulars appealing for
funds to the city and judicial officers. His
| only comment was: "Tne members OF the
| Committee of Seventy are able to take
care of themselves as far as any violation
of the election la W is concerned. They are
not at all disturbed by such reports as
this"
| at meeting of the Real Estate Ex-
change Honest Government Club this
evening resolutions were passed and TAM
many Hall was vigorously assailed. A
letter from Levi p. Morton was read, In
which the Repub blican nominee for Cover
nor declared himself in full sympathy
with the aims and purposes of the club.
Comparatively little betting on the re-
suit of the election is being done. except
on the Stock Exchange. There are odds
of 10 to given that Morton's plurality
for Governor will exceed $4,000, f. T.
Adams placing $1,000 against $1,000 of I.
| FL. Meyer's money An offer was made
by. one of the Wormsers TO put up $1,000 to
$500 on the plain proposition Of Mnrton's
election, but there was no taker A few
bets have been placed on the mayoralty

for bets on better terms.
