DEMOCRATIC CLAIMS.

Chicago, November 5.-Chairman Jones
OF the Democratic National committee
said tonight:
''I have no doubt that the result Of the
ballot tomorrow will be the triumphant
election OF Bryan and Stevenson. The
Democratic party has appealed In this
campaign to the reason and conscience Of
the people, while the Republicans have
appealed to passion and prejudice. In the
great forum OF public opinion, have no
doubt the Democrssio party has won in
this, the greatest of Its national political
struggles. Four years ago the Democratic
party was deficient in Organization, where
as now IL is more perfectly organized and
more efficient than 1t has been In any
campaign. The national committee has
been in touch with every part OF the
country and familiar with all the details
of the work. While the campaign fund
has not been enriched by the contribu
tions OF great trusts, It has received the
patriotic mites of the great working
classes in sufficient quantity to defray the
expenses OF the campaign which was even
more satisfactory than II 1t had been
otherwise. "The country is now aroused
as 1t has never been before since the great
civil war and the result can be nothing
less than the triumphant election Of the
national ticket

OHIO.

Cincinnati, Ohio, November All
speculation tonight Is on the question of
Democratic gains in the cities and Re-
publican gains In the rural districts of
Ohio. John II. Mclean Is here trying to
reduce the Republican plurality in
Hamilton county one-haif. This county
gave Mckinley almost 10000 plurality
four years ago. Republican State Chair
man Dick says his poll shows over $4,000
for Mckinley In Ohio and seventeen OF
the twenty y-one congressman. Democratic
State Chairman Long claims Bryan will
carry Ohio "unless prevented by coercion
and purchase"
Both sides are Issuing notices and
warnings about the use Of pencils and all
sorts OF frauds. There Is much excite
ment in some cities and especially In the
towns OF close congressional districts. 1t
was thought that there would be no con-
gressional contest here, but much fight
ing developed today between Bromwell.
Republican, and Kettler. Democrat, In
the second district.

REPUBLICAN CLAIMS.

Chicago, November 5.--The following
statement was given out at the headquar-
ters Of the Republican national commit-
tee:
"There are few surface indications at
this time dissimilar to those Of four years
ago when Mckinley swept the country by
the greatest majority probably ever given
to Presidential candidate. The work OF
the Republicans during the past four
weeks has been marveiously effective. II
has bsen marked everywhere by complete
ness in detail of machinery, harmonious
a ction and desired results.
In the history of the party no better or
ganization has ever existed. MCKINLEY
and Roosevelt will carry every state
which voted for Mckinley and Hobart
four years ago and certainly seven OF
eight Others that voted for Bryan In 1895
Ths alleged hopes Of Croker and Bryan
as to carrying Indiana and New York are
simply following out the programme oI
claiming everything In sight for the pur'
pose OF encouraging their followers In
close states to make the most desperate
efforts for success.
1.-THE claims Of the Republicans are basel
upon the result OF actual work reported
by men in the field, brought up through
precinct, ward, township, city, county
ana state organizations and upon actual
facts as shown by the closest poll ever
made BY any political organization.
The Portland daily press., 1900-11-06
NEW YORK.

New York, November 5.-Both Repub-
lIcans and Democrats agree that more
than 600, 600 citizens in reater New
York will vots tomorrow.
Generally speaking Republicans con-
cede that Bryan will carry Greater New
York. On the other hand Dem ocrats ad-
NIT that Mckinley will carry the rest OF
the state. The question hinges on the
plurality that the Democrats are con-
ceded in the metropolis and the Repub-
lioans are conceded upstate.
Democratic nat ional headquarters
were practically deserted today, only
Secretary Mason OF the executive COM
mittee being In charge.
At Republican National headquarters
Joseph II. Manley, senator Scott OF
West Virginia and Frederick S. Gibbs OF
New York, gave out the following
statements, respectively:
MIR. Manley:
"The national committeeman in this
city a fter the receipt of kilograms to.
day from Chairman Hanna and various
state committeeman, have nothing to
add to the statement made public this
morning, except to emphasize 1t. i dc
not share with some the opinion that
Indiana Is entirely safe for us. We
have no doubt of Illinois S. We shall GER
tainiy carry New York state by not less
than rs, 900 majority and look for eome-
thing over 100 900 majority"
Senator 500 tt of West Virginia. repeat
ed his former sanguine statements.
National Committeeman Gibbs said:
"Ths election will be fair / anticipate
no trouble. The worst has been done
and 1t is my opinion that Mckinley will
have not less than 25g votes In the electo-
raj college. That 1 consider . oonserya-
tive estimate"
Richard Croker claims that Bryan will
carry Greater New York by between
so OOO and 10000 Democrats are in
clined to concede the state outside Great.
or New York to McKi nley by $1,000.
This is 1O0,0 900 less tran the Republi-
cans low Mckinley In the same terrific
ry.
GOV. Roosevelt will remain at his
home at Oyster Bay, Il. L.. until after
election. He wound up his campaign
for the Vice Presidency tonight with a
brief speech and then visited his old
friends aud neighbors.
The close OF the campaign finds the
betting that had obtained during
the last fortnight practically I'M
onangsd. Only comparatively small bets
are being made. the ruling odds ranging

Devery Would Let Them
Vote First.
Nc Cullagh Ordered Arrest To
Be Made First.

New York, November 5.-Chief Of Po-
lice Dsvery was today indicted by the
grand jury for alleged Interference with
state Superintendent OF Elections John
McCullagh in the performance OF his
duty The Indictment was returned
shortly after noon. At little past
o'clock the information was conveyed to
Chief Devery by State Senator Timothy
Sullivan, who was accompanied by
Michael #. Lyons, eleotor on the Demo.
cratic state ticket, who had agreed TO
furnish bail in any amount named for
Chief Dsvery. When the chief was In
formed OF his Indictment he went at
once to the court OF general sessions to
give ball.
1t developed today that the difference
between Chief OF Police Devery and State
Superintendent of Elections McCullagh,
are due to dispute as to the right Of the
challenged man to swear In his vote If
state depIty wishes to arrest him.
MIR. Devery claims that neither the
state deputy or a city policeman has the
right to make an arrest until after the
vote has teen cast. Mr.. McCullagh
holds that 1t Is the purpose Of the law
to prevent the casting of an illegal ballot
and that the ARE st should be made even
without a warrant before the chal'
lenQed men voted.
Chief Devery said later that he would
issue In structions to the policemen on
duty at the polling places to take the
advice OF the boar is of inspectors in the
matter OF arrssting voters for whom
there were warrants. II this board
thought man should be allowed to
vote, the policemen should permit them
to do so and then arrest him. If the
board decided that the vots should not
be cast, the policeman should make the
arrest before the casting OF the ballot
The Indictment against Chief Devery
charges felony. 1t charges in part;
"Ihat he (Devery) did attempt wilfully
knowingly and with felonious intent tc
hinder said John MoCullagh in the PER
formanoe of his duty as the state super
intendent Of elections"
1hs bail of 81, ,01o was furnished by Mr..
Lyons. The Indictment was found under
section z, chapter 6766. OF the Metropoli
tan laws that went Into effsot July l6,
1858.
The maximum penalty under convic-
tion is three years in state prison and re-
moval from office.
Assistant District Attorney O'ReilIy,
speaking for District Attorney Gardi-
ner, gave out the following statement:
1.-THE Indictment does not cha rye an
overt act and without the commission oi
an overt act there could be no interfer.
ence. The Indictment win not hold
water.''
Chief Devery made the following state.
ment after giving bail:
"When l was sworn In as chief OF DO
lice of New York city, 1 swore that
would do my duty and protect the people
Of this city. propose to do my duty
toward the whole of the people here. do
not propose to be bull-dozed. I am going
to see that the peopls's rights are pro-
tected AMI that every one entitled TO vote
will be allowed to vote. / am going "a
see that the policemen in my charge
The Portland daily press., 1900-11-06

are not bull-dozed even by John McCul
lagh."
Mr.. McCullagh refused to talk concern
ing the indictment. He said, however,
that he was Witness before the grand
jury today.
Superintendent McCullagh was later
told OF the orders issued by Chief Devery
today and disputed the point made by
Devery to refer to the board Of election
inspectors the decision whether or not
man should be arrested at once or allowed
to vote. He said:
II win call on the police to arrest at
once"
He said that he had not been advised
by the Attorney Generals ofii';e as to the
action In the matter, but said; ~ take
the stand that man who Is going TO
vote Illegally has no right TO vote ct all. :
Deputy State Attorney General Job E.
Hedges was asked as to the stand OF bis
office in the matter. He said that he
agreed with McCuIlagh and that his
Office held that man who has no legal
right 60 vote should be arrested before
casting his vote.
Richard Croker, leaeer of Tammany
Hall, when told OF Devery's Indictment,
said:
''That It's the most encouraging Bryan
nows OF this campaign. 1t shows how
frightened the Republicans are and 70
what desperate ends they will go,
"If they think this will intinidate
voters they are woefully mistaken. That
high-handed act will make votes for
Bryan. If Chief Devery violated the law
he ought to be punished. But I am
told he Is indicted for upholding the law
In statement to the police. This makes
his Indictment political outrage. In his
statement to the police Chief Devery
asked them to prevent the intimidation
OF lawful voters and in his statement set
forth the legal qualifications for voters.
His Indictment for this plainly shows the
Republicans are frightened and really TO
attempt any high handed measure.
Chief Devery personally notified the
police board OF his Indictment. The
board took no action. President Z ork
said the law does not require the board
TO suspend the member of the department
under Indictment, but leaves action to
the Judgment OF the commissioners.
Ths board then passed resolution
calling on the chief for an impartial en-
| forcement of the law tomorrow and In
structing him to communicate with Su-
perintendent OF Elections McCullagh
and demand from him detailed inform
alton of the alleged concerted efforts to
provoke violence at the polls which Su-
perintendsnt McCullagh In his letter Il
the board yesterday professsd to have II
his possession.
