AT OYSTER BAY
Governor Roosevelt Addressed
 Large Meeting.

New York, November Ex-Governor Roose- welt wound up the Republican national campaign tonight by delivering an address at Oyster Bay L. l., before one of the largest gatherings that ever assembled at that place.
 He said, in part: q have appealed to the teachings of Jefferson and Jackson and of Lincoln. MT Jefferson was an expan- sionist and it was he who expanded over Nebraska and governed the Indains with out their consent. The Indians have been succeeded by the Populist and he is gov erned without his consent.
 ''As for Jackson he was for hard money, expansion and honor for the flag. If Cro- ker were to walk over Jacksons grave, Jackson would turn over in it with dis gust.
 We must beat Bryan and also stamp out Bryanism."
 Governor Roosevelt then discussed in a general way the national issues. He was frequently cheered and at the close of the meeting was rendered a great reception.

New York, November 1.-The most inter- esting development in New York on the eve of the battle is the indictment by the grand jury against Chief of Police William s. Devery on the charge of interfering with the work of State Superintendent of Elec- tions John Mccullough. Chief Deverys bail was fixed and arrangements made for hear ing the case the day after tlection. The indictment has attracted a great deal of att tention in political circles. The points in- yolved appear to hinge upon the rights Of men to swear in their votes when chal- lenged by any of the deputies of the State Superintendent of Elections. The legal as- pects of the case are interesting to Repub- lican and Democratic leaders for the req son that it has been feared clash might occur at the polls tomorrow between the 5000 policemen and the 800 deputies.
 Every confidence is expressed that full vote will be boiled, and Republicans and Democrats alike agree that more than 6O0- 900 citizens in Greater New York will vote tomorrow. Indications are that the vote in the city will be at least 65,000 greater than ever before in the history of Greater New York
 Generally speaking, Republicans concede that Bryan will carry Greater New York On the other hand, Democrats admit that Mckinley will carry the State if Greater New York is excluded. The difference of opinions arise on the question of pluralitfes that the Democrats are conceded in the metropolis and the Republicans are con- ceded in the up State districts.
 Democratic National headquarters were practically deserted today, but Secretary Mason of the Executive Committee said Bryan's election was assured.
 At Republican National headquarters Jo- seph H. Manley Senator Scott of West Vir- ginia and Frederick s. Gibbs of New York gave out the following statements respect ively:
 'The National Committeeman in this city, after the receipt of telegrams today from Chairman Hanna and various State com mitteemen, have nothing to add to the sta tement made public this morning except to emphasize 1t. I do not share with some the opinion that Indiana Is entirely safe for us, but we have no doubt of Illinois We shall certainly carry New York State by not less than 75,0 majority and l look for something over 100000 majority"
 National Committeeman Gibbs said: "The election will be fair. l anticipate no trouble The worst has been done, and it is my opin- ion that Mckinley will not have less than 259 votes in the electoral college. That I consider a conservative estimate"
 Richard Croker said that Bryan will carry Greater New York by between 5000 and 90,000.
 As a general thing, Republican leaders will not admit that the borough ot Man. haitian will be carried for Bryan by more ,.an 5000 plurality. Both sides claim the borough of Brooklyn, the Republicans by R,00o; the Democrats, by 5000. The popula- ton in the boroughs of Bronx, Queens and

Roosevelt Winds Up at Oyster Bay in an Address Covering the Gen eral Issues-Was Given
 Great Reception

Caton. O., November 1.-The Mckinley lawn, so famous in the campaign of 1S96, was tonight the scene of an enthusiastic demonstration similar to that which closed the campaign four years ago. The Presi- dent made a short address to his neghbors. He also introduced Judge Day for short speech
 The occasion was an unadvertised an un- announced serenade by the Grand Army Band, with several thousand people follow ing the band with loud cheers and hurrahs and a glare of red fire.
 When the President appeared some one pulled from the vestibule of the house relic of the campaign of four years ago, a Tennessee stump with a polished top and engraved emblem brought here by Ten nessee delegation. The President stood upon this and said:
 My FellowC Citizens: I am very glad to This is not a year when I am making speeches. Tomorrow, from one end of this vast country to the other the American people will speak, and we must wait rever- ently and in patience for their verdict know you will be glad to hear word from our fellow-townsman, Judge Day, who has held conspicuous place in the administra- ton over which you called me to preside in 1896 I thank you and bid you good- night"
 When the President mentioned the name of Judge Day there was an enthusiastic ovation and the judge was constantly inter- rupted by applause while he spoke.

Richmond is relatively small. Democrats and Republicans claim all three boroughs, but the Democrats usually carry Queens and Richmond As for the Bronx, the in crease of the population. owing to the up- town movement, has been so great that all estimates are worthless. Democrats are in- clined to concede the State outside of New York by 50,O00 This is 100000 less than the Republicans allow Mckinley in the same territory. The close of the campaign finds the betting that has obtained during the last fortnight practically unchanged. Only comparatively small bets are being made and the ruling odds ranging anywhere from to l to to in favor of Mckinley.

It is generally believed that Bryan will run ahead of Beckham for Governor and that Yerkes will run ahead of Mckinley wheth- CT Republicans or Democrats carry the state. The Republicans hope, by fusion with Brown Democrats, to carry several Congressional districts now represented by Democrats.
 Already arrests have been made in diff ferent parts of the state for alleged brib- cry and plans to inyalidate ballots before they are cast. Both sides are unusually watchful and alert, and the election will be conducted on a veritable searchlight of public scrutiny.
