Tux Stan correspondent was told by one of the agents of the republican national commit- tee that there isa strong movement under the surface Just at present among the large man- ufacturers of thie city towat the republican cause, irrespective of their former sftiliations. One instance was cited as absolutely accurate. Two Tammany men, leaders in their wards, employ upward of 500 men between them. Those 500 men last week received orders to register today and to learn how to vote a com: bination ticket consisting of the democratic electors. In short, Mr. Cleveland will be cut, it is estimated by Gen. Clarkson, to the extent of fully 20,000 votes in the city. A STORY ABOUT HILL. * It is cropping ont here and there that word is being passed to the braves from the Hotel Normandie that Mr. Cleveland's election means | nothing less than the demolition of a Hall as the controlling element in New Yor! and ultimately national politica. It is related on the most unquestionable authority that one of the district leaders sought an interview with Mr. Hill for the purpose of getting bis private ti “Go back to yonr district,” said the Sen- ator, “and tell your men that they may vote for Mr. Cleveland if they wih, and they may move heaven and earth to elect’ him, but they must remember that every vote they cast for him as President means one more ciod of dirt on the coffin of Tammany.” “But what am I to do?” brave, unable to interpret the figure. “Do?” repeated Mr. Hill. ‘Do what you like, but remember that Mr. Cleveland's election means the death of our organization and the shelving of our machine.” This feeling will be hard to overcome in the upper counties, and already Mr. Hnrrity, it is whispered, has shifted his sliding scale to allow for a large shrinkage of the regular vote in the city, and is pouring “‘sinews” into the wider- ness above the Harlem in a steady stream, HOW THINGS LOOK. Four weeks from today the election occurs, and from now on the battle will be one of money well and freely used. In this line the republican committee is a trifle the better able to bear the burden of the fight, for the pro- tected employers are responding to the calls for funds quite generously. The distress in the democratic money market is evidenced by the circular that Mr. Harrity issued the other day, appealing for funds in an able-bodied tenor wail of distress, coupled, oddly enough, with perfect confidence in the future. Mr. Pulitzer’s western campaign fund has dropped out of sight, for the rainbows have all been carefully taken in for repairs on both sides, The fight will go no further westward than Ningara Falls. he republican committee, I am told, has about made up its mind that Indiana is as good as lost, but if the President can carry all the states he carried in 1588, except Indiana and half of Michigan, together with all the new states except Montana, he still has a majority of the coliege and his second term is assured, GALL, Jn. — WHAT FLORIDA POPULISTS SAY. neried the puzzled ‘The State Chairman Says Their Votes Were Not Counted, but They Are Not Crying “Fraud.” Correspondence of The Evening Star.

We shan't carry the state, of course, but we sball largely increase the vote of Tuesday last. ALS. Mann, who is running for Congress in the second district on the people's party ticket, says that he is surely going to be elected. He gives the election law in Florida an avwfull black eye and says that the democrats the selves are bound to repeal it at the next session of the legislature. “If they don't," he added, “their party will go to pieces in less than two years.” In this connection the president of one of the leading railroads {a Florida, himself a stanch vorted as having said a fow days ngo: “It ie uselews fur my company to try to promote immigration to Florida any longer.

WHERE HOW THE STATE HAS GONE IN RECENT YEARS— EFFECT ON “PRACTICAL POLITICS” OF THE ADOPTION OF THE AUSTRALIAN BALLOT SYs- TEM—IN THE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRIOTH—A MUDDLE aT NEWPOUT. Correapondence of The Eventus Star. Provipence, R. L, October 10, 1892. Snug little Rhode Island will be as busy as a bee hive for the next four weeks. True, it hasn't a governor to elect, but its congressional contests will be sharp and bitter, while the state is claimed with equal confidence both for Harrison and Cleveland. Politics can never be called dull in Rhode Island. Its state election Until the property qualification asa prerequi- site for voting was the republicans could view without alarm the increase of their prolific democratic neighbors.

People expected that this change in the franchise, coupled with the defection of the constituency, would complete the down- fall’ of the “republican party, but it didn't, Dompcratic mayors, and governors have been elected since, but not quite as frequently as republicans. The severont blow that the ‘‘system” ever received, however, was the adoption of the Australian ballot. It knocked all political conclusions “galley west,” to use a local expletive. Politi- cians for almost the first time in their lives were really anxious on election day. Hereto- fore they had known so well how every man in the Iittle state was going to vote that the man- agers of both knew who were elected before the poles opened. An entirely ‘new method of persuading the doubtful vote had to be invented in order to insure sntisfactory re- | gults. ‘The political Arkwrights, Fulton and municipal and state officers and the republican | Edisons have taxed their ingenuity for effect means of exerting influence, but so far wii only indifferept success. They are absorbed in the {froblem today, ‘and the accuracy of its solution will be measured by the relative re- turns of the two parties at the coming election. THE STATE 18 DOUBTFUL. The result of the election ia certainly in doubt. In 1888 the state went for Harrison by a vote of 21,960, Cleveland receiving 17,533. In the spring of 1889 H.W. Ladd, » republican, was elected governor, but in 1890 the tide turned in favor of the democracy. Ex-Governor Davis was reinstated im the governorship at the spring election and in the fall both both con- jonal districts returned democrata, Laj jam going in by a lead of 1,000 majority, while Page's election was not made certain until a second contest—that proved no contest—was held in January. The state elections in 1891 and in 1892 went republican again and Rhode Island goes into the contest with a republican governor and two democratic Congressmen. THE CONGRESSIONAL FIGHT. The congressional fight this year will be be- tween Congressman Oscar Lapham and Lieut. Gov. Melville Bull in the first district and in the second between Speaker O. B. Capron of the present legislature for the republicans and Hugh . Carroll or possibly ex-Gov. Davis for the democrate, Col. Lapham is believed to have agood chance of carrying his district again.” He is a war vet- eran anda Grend Army man, and in the con- test with Spooner in 1890 attracted many re- publicans voters who had been offended by his opponent's hostihty to pension bills, Lieut. Gov, Bull is a popular man, and as he bas the entire influence of ex-Gov. Wetmore of New- port behind him will make a good fight. His nomination was, however, something of a sur- prise to the uninitiated, as they had expected that ex-Speaker Ellery H. Wilson or ex-Con- gRressman Mpooner would be the man to court the somewhat expensive honor of upholding the republican banner in the first district. It will be a “novice” race in the second dis- trict so far as congressional honors are co cerned. Speaker Capron, the republican nominee, isa brainy fellow, very popular in his district, and enjoya the unique distinction in a Rhode Island candidate of being a com- paratively poor man. He has friends, how- ever, and the republicans think they can clect him.’ His chances would be better against or Carroil of Pawtucket than against ex- Davis. Mayor Carroll is the Dick Croker of local politics, but his intolerant course has arrayed many of his own party against him. He ix at war with his board of aldermen and police department. While he was away at Chicago as delegate to the national convention the aldermen appointed some new members to the police force. On bis return M well as the chief of police, He is a vigorous, aggressive politician, and has strong friends and bitter enemies. ov. Davis, on the other band,never offends anybody and has the prestige of being the only democrat of late years who has been elected governor. At present the democrats seem to have the best chance in the first district and the re publican in the second, but the aspect may change as the campaign goes on, THE PRESIDENTIAL TICKET. On the presidential issne the majority o 4,427 for Harrison in 1588 may be wiped ont, but the republicans cannot see why they are not as well off now as four years ago They have a well-established republican paper behind them now at a rate, and they were entirely without a representation in the daily press of Providence in 188%. ‘The McKinley. bill is popolar with the manufacturers and business In the mills is very good. The “general pros- perity” ety may take’ with, the workers at the jooms and spindles, THE NEWPORT TROUBLE. It isn’t certain yet. The latest sensation in Khode Island politics is the claim by the democrats that the «pecial act passed by the republican legislature last Friday to rebuke the democratic mayor and aldermen of Newport, who, it is claimed, un- lawfully interfered to prevent the holding of tho regular municipal lection in that city lant democratic lenders have attacked the month. The constitutionality of and say that by it the republicans have wiped all ‘the election laws off the statute books, and that unless an- other special session is immediately called there can be no presidential nor congressional elec- tions here next month. Mayor Honey of Newport, who is one of the shrewdest politicians in the state and a fight both within the democratic party and outside of it, has been in Providence since the act was passed, deep in consultation with the lawyers of is part One of them, Gen. John M. Brennan, say “Iam satisfied that the legislature bas left the Newport muddle ina worse predicament than it was before, and in trying to make a clear law for Newport's guidance has repealed the entire election machinery for the rest of the stat ection 12 of the act provides: ‘All acts and parts of acts inconsistent herewith are hereby repealed, and this act shall take esfect upon its panvage. ‘ ow, to my mind, all previons acts are in- consistent with this ‘one, so that the election It ix probable, however, that the enpreme court will set aside this act’as unconstitutional.” ‘The republican leaders when told of Gen. Brennan's claim asserted that the law operates only for the city of Newport and repeals only such laws as conflict with the new one, and which themselves referred to Newport only. They say that the best lawyers in the state have passed on the act, and they are not so much worried about the legality of the uct as for fear Mayor Honey will manage to defeat its enforcement at Newport in some way. It is perhaps wignificant that the democrats seem to view the prospect of a failure to hold an election with something of complacency. As Gen. Brennan said: “It is good legisiation for the democrats because it #hute out four presidential electors that might be republican and enables the two present democratic mem- bers of Congrens to hold over for another term, or until a democratic House orders a new election.” Tilooks as if| they preferred two democratic Congressmen “in the hand” to four presiden electors “+in the bush.” - = —— MAGEE’S MISSION IN ALABAMA. The Pennsylvania Politician Went Down to Unite the Republican Factions. Correspondence of Th Evening Star. Brusuwoaam, Ata., Oct. 10, 1892, ‘The results of the elections held last week in Georgia and Florida have very much dampened the enthusiasm of the third party leaders in Alabama and the democratic war horses say it has made this state u certainty for Cleveland and Stevenson. The chief war cry of the peo- ple’s party voters in this state has been “wait and see how we will sweep Georgia.” The Weaver leaders in this state can give no excuse for the defeat of their ticket in Georgia except ‘to raise the old cry of “fraudulent elections.” The leaders among them held a conference in Birmingham last week. Reuben F, Kolb was present at the meeting.

They have found out, too, that the Moseley republicans are making @ desperate effort to harmonize the Stevens Te- their straight republican electoral ticket and lend ‘their aid to the conglomerate or fusion ticket, thus hoping to elect it by aid of third partyitew'and Kolbites. It looks, too, now as if the two republican factions may harmonize. Stevens, colored, chairman of the Stevens republican committee, is just baek from New York, where he went to have aconference with Chairman Carter of the republican executive committee. He was in‘an unusually happy mood when he returned, and says that there will be some important develop- ments soon. During the present week the Stevens com- mittee will meet in Birmingham. At the same time the Moseley committee will meet and an effort will be made to harmonize the two and consohdate them. Magee of Pennsylvania and Clarkson will both be on hand and lend their efforts toward uniting the two republican fac- tions, Magee, it is said, is the man who made a trade with Kolb and the third party lenders whereby the republicans were to have a Buger in the conglomerate electoral ticket and control it if they needed Alabama's clectoral vote in order to elect Harrison, the understanding being that it go for Weaver if Harrison didn't need 1. Ctarkxon and do away with this business of having two committees, At present the Moseley faction is supporting one electoral ticket (the fusion Saket )and one set of congressional nominee while Porting its own tickets and nominees. The republican leaders are becoming alarmed as the election approaches. It is evident now that the third party as a factor, separate and distinct, will cut no figure in the election. The united with the republicans of both land in this sta The aim and object of the republican leade! who are not interested in the ional quarrels in the party in this siate now is to unite if pos sible these three elements in the hope of carry- ing the state, THE DIFFICULTY OF U It is hardly thought possible can be effected, it this union In the first place if it is done ineos. The men wifo are on the fusion ticket swear they will not come down and that it is the place of the Stevens republican nominees to withdraw. The latter assert that théy are the straight republican nominees and don’t propose tocome down for any ret of men who are tainted with third party tendencies, republicans are trying to run the fusionists’ campaign, and many of them are kicking out of the traces. Another reason why so great a number of Kolb’s followers have deserted him is because they have grown suspicious of him since be has been in conference and trading with republicans. They say that they have fol- lowed him as ex-democrats, believing him to be such, and now that he is going in with the re- publicans they have quit him. There is no disputing the fact, too, that Kolb’s forces have practically gone to pieces. Kolb and his chairman, Bowman, have kept them together a remarkably long time to realize no results for them. The lines have been | drawn now and Kolb’s followers have no further | excuse for leaving the democratic party. They reulize that to follow their leaders longer ns to leave the party of theirfathers, and wo pleuving Kolb and going into the tight jand. 1up, 4 big movement is on foot in Alabama to unite all opponents of democracy and pull down all anti-democratic electoral tickets and congressional tickets save one, and niting on that one to carry the state againet J.

If they tail every dem- ocratic Congressman is sure of election and Cleveland will get Alabama by a big majority. Meanwhile the campaign is going on. ‘The fusionists’ candidates for Congress are on the stump. The straight republican nominees are talking to the people. ‘The democratic leaders are hard at york. In some districts the negrocs | have out their own congressional nominees and are whooping things up, and in other districts the people's party has split off from the fusionisté and is running its own independent candidates. ‘The cold water candidate is the latest acq sition to the Alabama political fiéld, Last we a full probibition electoral ticket was put in the ficld and B.

Hon. Charles F. Crisp of Georgia, Speaker of the national House of Representatives, two able speeches in Alabama in bebalf of democracy last week. On Friday he spoke at Jusper, Walker county, to nearly 2,000 peo- le. That section of the state is the strong- Dold of third partyism and republicaniem, aid for that reason Judge Crisp was sent there. Ou Saturday he addressed 3,000 people at Sulligent, Lamar county. Congressman Bank- head, candidate for re-election in that (the sixth) district, who was with Judge Crisp on both occasions, says that the speeches of the distinguished Georgian will do great good for the democracy. Crisp was given a perfect ovation at both places. “He left here yesterday for Owensboro, Ky. The democratic party has placed in the field all over the state every orator of any note in the party. Besides, ali the candidates and elect- ors are at work. Special attention is being paid to the rural districts,where the third party and republicans are strongest. ‘The democratic press in the «tate is in fall accord and harmony and is materially aiding in the campaign work. It isa remarkable fact that there is uot a re- publican daily paper in Alabama and only three republican weeklies, all of the latter being sim- ply campaign sheets.

If it cannot get the negroes to vote for Weaver it asks them to vote for its state can- didates, and if they do not wish to do this then they are urged to vote for the county and legislative nominees. This plan is being systematically followed, It is » new one and noone can estimate the result so far as the negro votes isconcerned. The negroes are un- usually reticent now. importance since two parties are after their vote. The democrats are not soliciting the colored vote, but say they will get good deal strongholds this year. ‘The third party has tried to arouse feeling against the townspeople country people.

Linney, a republican, who is aiding Judge Furches, republican nominee for governor, in | his canvass. Two veara ago Linney and one E. | B. Jones signed the following contract: “If dur ing Harrison's administration the internal rev- enue taxes on tobacco and fruit brandy are abol- inhed Jones agrees to vote the republican ticke if not, Linney agrees to vote democrat: | ticket.” This was witnessed by members of | three parties and was registered by the register ot deeds, Linney is in an awkward fix. He will have to vote fot the democratic nominees and the democrats are declaring that he is vio~ lating the = of his contract by canvassing for the republicans. There was never in this state so atrange a complication. There may be a row before this exciting eam- paign ends. At Farettesville last Friday there Was a great crowd to hear the joint discussion | between Butler, third party nominee for elec- tor, and Glenn, democratic nominee. Butler | said that he had been treated with more dis courtesy then by Glenn than at any other time. Glenn jumped up and declared that if Butler charged him with being disconrteons he was an | infamous liar. Third party men and democrats | made a rush for the stand and a free fight was | avoided by the coolness of a few level-beaded | men. One man started for Glenn and interrupted | ttlm in his rejoinder. but was promptly tande to | take his seat by Glenn telling him to sit dowa, | that he would not be interrupted by any man. Butler said he had not charged Glens with | courtesy, whereupon Glenn said if that was « | he desired to withdraw his charge of infamous liar; that he would allow no third party | man to get abead of him in beng a gentleman. | | No such meeting has ever been witnessed in many years.

The Henry street paving ordinance was amended to allow the Washington Soutbera railroad track between Cameron and Duke streets to remain as now, on one side of the street, so as not to endanger the sewer under the middle of the street.

HUNTING FOR A Doctor, The city council of Alexandria is hunting for adoctor. The law requires four physicians of the poor and there is now but one. The resig- nation of Dr. Gibson last night leaves Dr. Par- vis, the coroner and heaith officer, alone in office, and a committee of the council’ has been appointed to hunt up doctors to attend the corporation cases.

An Important Question Decided by sme} Episcopalians at Baltimore. In the house of deputies of the general con- vention of the P. E. Church in session at Bal! more yesterday afternoon Representative Moorchouse of Milwaukee precipitated action | on the matter of changing the name of the church by moving that no further action be taken with reference to the standard prayer book until the omission of the title page had been filled. He wanted this matter referred. Dr. Huntington, the chairman of the com- mittee, proposed that this was as good a time as any to dixpose of the matter and suggested | immediate action. Mr. Moorehend acquiceced and then submit- ted the following resolution: “That the words ‘Protestant Episcopal’ be omitted from the title page of the standard prayer book.” To this Mr. Wilmer of Maryland offered a substitute that as any change in the name of the church or on the title page or elsewhere would delay the publication of the standard prayer book for at least three years action was at this time undesirable. Mr. Atkinson of East Carolina then moved to Disgrace Drove Her to Suicide. Cora May Andrews, who was being sued for divorce by her husband, Wm. S.
