Shee!laD's Pretlict;or.

New York, Nov. 1.-John c. Sheehan issued the following statement to-day:
 "The great municipal political con- test is about to close. It will result in ., great democratic victory. As in the days of Jefferson, the democratic party iu this contest has been arrayed against the party which believe that the masses of the people have no voice in the selection of their officials It has had to fight against the greed of the party of monopolists, with the federal administration at its head. For the past three years the city of New York has been governed by the party which has for its motto I am holier than thou and which has given us the most wasteful, extravagant and corrupt ad- ministration that the city of New York has ever experienced. Unquestionably the results tomorrow will verify the claims made during the canvass and will result in a crushing defeat for the enemies of the democratic party and the enemies of the common people and in the triumphant election of Robert A. Van Wyck and the rest of the demo- cratic ticket"
 The executive committee of the de- mocracy of Thomas Jefferson issued to-day the final appeal to the voters of

BAD, WICKED RED MEN,
How They Conspired to Steal $9O,OOO by
 Fraudulent Warrants.

Fraudulent Warrants.
 Washington, Nov. Especial Agent Severly of the interior department, whose sensational discovery of $90,00O worth of fraudulent Creek Indian war; rants was announced last week, reach- ed here to-day. He had a conferences with Acting Secretary Ryan and made a verbal report of his investigation. This was confirmatory of the published statement showing that the amount of fraudulent warrants on the St. Louis substreasury had been issued, but that the government would lose nothing by, the transaction. The losers are out side parties, who purchased warrants on speculation.
 One of the discounters acting in good faith bought $50, GOO worth of these war; rants, paying 92 cents on the dollar. The remaining $40,000 is understood to be confined to few parties. The inves- tigation developed the existence of a conspiracy within and about the tribe to float these warrants. The United States district attorney has the case in his hands now and it is probable that indictments will soon follow. A num- Der of the most prominent officials in the tribe ar charged with the offence, as well as several employees, while the assistance of outside parties, not re- sponsible for the accounts and the cleri- cal work within the Creek nation. was necessary to complete the scheme.

IN BRY4N'S STATE,
Political Managers of Both Parties Express
 Supreme Confidence.

Supreme Confidence.
 Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 1.-Political man agers for both parties in this city ex- press supreme confidence as to the re- suit of to-morrow's battle but in the absence of a poll of the state 1t is a, question on what they base their claims of victory. With an admirable organi- zation and perfect harmony in the ranks, the republicans must neverthe- less face a campaign fusion of all eIe- ments favorable to free silver which a year ago carried the state by Il, 900 plurality.
 The national democrats and prohibi- tionistS are not serious factors in the race and tonight it is given out that an understanding exists whereby the national democrats will vote almost solidly for the republican nominees. Added to this is the fact that the last day of the registration in the cities brought out an unexpectedly large en- rollment which republicans claim is a good augury. Fusionists deny this and insist that, having made most aggres- sive campaign their followers are most interested, and the larger the vote the better their chances. The blanket bal lot Is to be tested for the first time tomorrow and the effect it is believed will be to greatly delay returns.
 w. J. Bryan made his final appeal in behalf of fusion to-day and tonight. speaking in Lincoln, Omaha and a num- Der of smaller towns.

AGAINST PELAGIC SEALING.
Treaty Between Russia, Japan and the United States Practically Agreed Upon.

Treaty Between Russia, Japan and the
 United States Practically Agreed Upon.
 Washington, Nov. Lit is expected that treaty or convention between the United States, Russia and Japan will be formally signed and executed at the state department during the present week, carrying out the proposition be- fore the Bering sea conference for a suspension of pelagic sealing. The present understanding is that the sign- ing of this document will occur within the next few days. It will represent the completed efforts of the conference, and with the signing concluded, the conference will adjourn.
 The terms of the treaty or conven- ton will follow the lines of the proposi- tion considered by the conference and referred with favorable recommenda- ton to the authorities at St. Peters, burg and Tokio. No doubt existed as to the acceptance of the Russian authorities, and it can now be stated positively that the Japanese govern- ment has approved the proposition and that the Japanese delegates are pre- pared to place their signatures to the treaty. This clears away all obstacles and little remains to be done beyond the formalities attending the signing of such an instrument.

INDIANS DID NOT SHOOT.
However, They Were Shot Down by United
 States Wardens.

Washington, Nov. 1.-General Otis has sent the following received from Captain Wright, who investigated the Indian trouble in Colorado:
 Ranch, Utah, Oct. 2S.-Just met party of seventy five Indians returning to agency, including Wounded One. Indian Star, one of the survivors, stat ed that about twenty-five wardens rode up to them while in camp and after stating that they were game wardens tried to arrest the Indians. Indians resisted arrest and wardens opened fire. Indians did not return fire. Two survivors escaped under fire. Surgeon now dressing wounded squaws, who are not dangerously wounded. Indians coming home from all directions. Game wardeus are in Lilly Park
 General Otis says of the above dis@ patch: "The dispatch confirms those previously received as to extent of In-s dian disturbances in northwestern Colorado. Telegrams from citizens via. Meeker, Col, report Indian depreda- tions committed. Captain Wright will investigate and will return all Indians to agencies"

Greater New York: "The spontaneous and pathetic tribute of the citizens of Greater New York paid on Sunday night to the dead tribune of the people has demonstrated beyond the shadow Of a doubt that Henry George, the fa- ther would, had God spared him to us, nave been elected to the mayoralty of our great city. More than this, it fore shadows with equal ceritude the com plete victory of Henry George, the son, Who now leads the hosts his father marshaled.
 We call the attention of democratic voters who hate and scorn the ignoble and corrupt men who have used the machinery of their party to make 1t serve selfish and venal ends, that that lifelong democrat and valiant foe of bossism, Charles w. Dayton, still leads in the battle of the democracy of Thomas Jefferson against the democ- racy of Richard Croker.
 To Workingmen who, with heavy hearts and bowed heads saw the body or their brave champion borne to its last resting place, we declare that this work Is not ended and in contributing to the triumph of all he coutended for they serve themselves now as fully as they could have could the elder Henry George have lived. And we point to Jerome ONeill as a man nobly quali- lied to represent in public station the Worklngmeu of the city, and we urge that the political strength of the labor ing masses will by all be measured by his vote.
 "This Is still, and has been, the struggle of the people against the bosses chosen and supported by the privileged classes. It is still as it has been battle for real democracy within the democratic party The death of the great leader does not close the con- test for equal rights.
 From every borough and district there comes encouraging news to this committee. The vote for our ticket will show no falling off. Henry George. Charles w. Dayton and Jerome O'Neill will be elected by the people because they represent the people. In this su- rreme hour we have exact knowledge that the foes of monopoly, the enemies of bossim, the haters of Crokerism and of Plattism, the New Workers who re- fuse to be governed from British race tracks recognize in the democracy of Jefferson their only certain source of protection against the evils which have menaced our city Without thought of compromise, with no friendliness to any other candidate or to any opposing po- litical organization, with but the one determination to prosecute the work begun by Henry George against the agents of aristocracy and tools of cor ruption, the democracy of Jefferson promises vigor in it's attack and pres ages it's complete victory"
 Jerome O'Neill, late secretary of the Central Labor union and candidate for president of the council on the ticket, with George added to the above an ap- peal addressed to the workingmen.

 ofS,441,188.

Washington, Nov. 1.-The monthly statement of the public debt shows that at the close of business on October 30, 1884, the debt, less cash in the treas ury, amounted to $1,020, 563, ,901, an in crease for the month of $8,441, 1SS. This increase is principally accounted for by an increase in the amount of cash on hand. The debt is recapitulated as fol- lows:
 Interest bearing debt, sS47, 365, 800, debt on which interest has ceased since ma turity, $1,331, ,540; debt bearing no in- terest, $379 ,623, ,590. Total, $1,22S,32 69O

Citizens Union Final Statement.

New York, Nov 1.--An official state- ment was issued tonight by the Citi- zens' Union campaign committee. It is as follows:
 The most striking thing to-day in the situation is the complete demorali- zation of the republican machine. This has been evident especially since the meeting in Carnegie hall on Saturday night, over which the president of the republican county committee presided The abuse of Mayor Strong and the hoots and misses which greeted the mention of his name have done their work-not as the machine intended but have reacted in producing utter disgust in the minds of scores of republicans who have come to the Citizens Union headquarters and announced their in tention to support MT. Low. They are simply exasperated with the machine and it's methods The statements is sued in some of the morning and even- ing newspapers, emanating from re- sponsible sources, of the intention of the republican machine to throw part of its strength to Tammany, do not cause surprise. The evidences of an intended deal between Tammany and the republicans are conclusive.
 "The canvass made by the Citizens Union in the borougls of Manhattan and the Bronx is now practically com- plete. Returns have been received from 653 election districts out of total of 683 These districts show that MT Low will have more than twice as many votes as General Tracy and a safe plu- rality over Van Wyck. The campaign closes with the Citizens Union cam paign committee feeling perfectly confi- dant of yictorvn

IN THE KEYsTONE STATE,
Feature of the Campaign the Canvass of
 the Pr0hibitionist Candidate.

Philadelphia, Nov. 1.-The campaign just closed has been exceptionally quiet, the only feature having been the ag'- gressive canvass of Rev. Dr. Swallow, the prohibition candidae for state treas rrer.

 Democratic Chairman Ga-nan says that there will be total vote of 925. 900 and that the democratic candidates will have a plurality of 15000. He gives Swallow 90,000.
 Chairman Jones of the prohibition party claims that Swallow will have g. majority in twenty and probably thir- ty-sven of the sixty-seven counties, and that he will receive at least 50,O00 votes in Philadelphia alone. He gives no es- innate of Swallows vote in the state.
