After that speech and at the con.

ton, number OF the Tammany braves
gathered in the headquarters Of thc

over. Most Of them were delighted
with the Grafton and thought that Cock

in general. While they were talking
in this strain, one little old fellow.
with common sense face and short

BOTH SIDES CLAIM
4 VICTORY

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov5.-it 10
Nobody yet knows who will do the
shouting. but the minds Of the people
are made up, the campaign closes to-
night, and the election of Tuesday
will only be to secure an official
record Of a decision already made.
Six national conventions have nom-
mated candidates for the presidency
and for the vice-presidency. Theo-
dore Roosevelt Of New York was re-
nominated for president and Senator
Charles W. Fairbanks OF Indiana for
vice president by the republicans at
Chicago. Alton B. Parker of New
Yord for president and Henry G..
Davis of West Virginia for vice presi-
dent were put up by the men in con-
troll of the democratic convention at
st. Louis. In their national conven-
tion at Springfield. Ill, the populists
nominated Thomas E. Watson of
Georgia for president and Thomas
Tibbles of Nebraska for vice presi-
dent. The prohibitionists at their
convention in Indianapolis put up DR..
president and George w. Carroll Of
Texas for vice president. The social
list party brought out Eugene v. Debs
of Illinois for president and Benjamin
Hanford of New York for vice presi-
dent. The sixth ticket in the field
to La4 80 lol
headed by Charles H. Corregan of
New York for president and William
w. Cox of Illinois for vice president.
Broadly speaking the campaign now
closing has been remarkable for the
general apathy displayed by the
country at large. The national con-
vention. at st. Louis in July resulted
In the ,oldline or conservative ele-
ment 'regaining control of the demo-
cratic party. The consequence Of this
was that the financial question,
which was the burning issue of 1896
and again In 1900. was eliminated
from the campaign this year. This
left the old subject of tariff revision
as the cheif issue. Other questions
have been brought to the front by
both Of the leading parties. but they
have failed utterly to arouse the
voters to anything like the intense
interest displayed in the campaign
of four and eight years ago.
A remarkable feature of the cam
paign is that each of the two leading
candidates has directed his own bat
