THE SITUATION ELSEWHERE. ; Probabilities in Several States West and South. pe aaeeaiene Vee NEW fORK. The Falling Off of the Democratic Eegistra- tion Commented Upon. Correspondence of The Fveninsg Star. New York, October 31, 1892. A careful analysis of the registration in New York shows that it fell 20,000 below Croker's promise in New York city and several thousand below the registration of four years ago in Troy and Albany, where Murphy reigns #u- preme in the democratic ranks. This leads to an inquiry as to whether Murphy and Croker are not really working to show democrats that they were right when they said at Chicago that Cleveland could not carrs New York. The fact that in two democratic cities, where Murphy is personally in command, the registration actually fell off, and that in New York, where Croker is in command, it fell 20,000 below his promise, strengthens the belief.’ Croker, has already o0- compliahed his pu of the success city and count the other ticket out of the field. The democratic leaders do not admit that this falling off is an occasion for alarm. Chairman Dickinson has returned and a long ccosalintion wae held st demoemtio bead: uarters today.

From Another Correspondent. Correspondence of The Evening Star. Naw York, Oot. 31, 1892. Senator Gorman talking with moe about the campaign three weeks agosaid: “My experience leads me to believe that there will be four more ‘waves or political fluctuations between now and election day. Which way will the last wave move? That is the question. If the last wave moves our way then we will win.” ‘The third wave of which Senator Gorman spoke bas now arrived, and it iva republican wave. Will there be another wave and will it be democratic? If so the democracy upon Senator Gorman's theory will win; if not then Gen. Harrison will be elected. This present republican wave is a big one. The results of the registration have caused it, and all the republican managers, Quay at the head, are riding on its crest jubilant. The | democratic leaders do not deny that the regis- tration has disappointed them, but they still argue that New York state is safe by a good plurality. It is hard to explain away, how- ever, the small registration in the democratic strongholds like this city and Albany and the very large registration in places like Rochester, the strongest republican city in the state. The reports from the rural districts where republi- cans sbound and democrats are scarce indicate that the farmers are pretty much all going to vote. The evidences of the small registration in democratic strongholds has rearoused some sus- picion« among the democratic factions. While Mr. Whitney has been spending most of his time since the Chicago convention in allaving discord the special friends of Mr. Cleveland have never had perfect confidence in the special friends of Senator Hill, in spite of all Mr. Whitney's diplomacy, and they now lay the small registration in democratic districts to the home staying of the Hill men. il men retort that in the city the small registration was caused by the failure of the county democrats to register because they had been shoved out of the way by the demo- cratic managera. It will take a great deal of hard work to put down all their jealousies dur- ing the next few days Bat hard work will be done and every effort will be made. THE OLD CHIEYS IN COMMAND. Senator Gorman will be the captain hence- forth of the democracy as Senator Quay will be of the republicans in the crisis. Each party has reverted to the old chiefs in whom is the confidence begotten of long, tried experience. Senator Gorman is working as hard as when he made his victorious battle for the democracy in 1884 and when he was bringing about the defeat of the “force bill” in the Fifty-first Congress. He is more familiar with the details of polities than any other man in the democratic party and his assumption of command certainly makes the republican managers somewhat uneasy, for they appreciate his abilities fully. Senator Platt said yesterda; consider Senator Gorman to be the ablest political man- ager in the country.” . ‘Senator Gorman several hours at the democratic national headquarters every day, and then he has a conference with Lieut. Gov. Sheehan, the chairman of the democratic «tate cam) committee, and with Richard Croker, the of Tammany Hall. It isa fact thai in the present situation of affairs the demo- cratic managers in national headquarters are looking more and more hopefully to the west for comfort. Don_M. Dickinson, who has just returned | from Chicago, says that Illinois, Wisconsin and | Indiana are surely democratic, which means that | Cleveland might be elected without New York. | Now that things in this state look brighter | for them the republican managers, who a week | ago were, as it were, contemning this state and exclaiming ‘that they could win easily without | ft, of it with and are of the opinion that New York is indeed the empire state, as goes which so goes the Union. DEMOCRATS ANXIOUS OVER DELAWARE. ‘The democrats are apparently growing anx- ious about Delaware. The party men from Delaware, headed by Senator Gray, are strug- gling to get Mr. Cleveland to go to that state to | speak, but up to this time no word has come indicating hie willingness todo so. There is reason to believe that the republicans will make a very strong effort to carry Delaware, for with | that state and Connecticut and West Virginia | they could win without New York or Indiana. — Hl NORTH CAROLINA. Chairman Eaves Says the Republican State Ticket Will Not Come Down. Correspondence of The Evening Rarzios, N. C., Oct, 31, 1892. In the course of an interview today with | Chairman Eaves of the republican state execu- tive committee your correspondent asked him | the question: “Will the republican state | ticket be taken down in favor of the third party ticket?” He replied: “It will not; and you can say as from me officially that we make the test of party fealty in this state the support of | our national ticket, headed by Harrison, and of our state ticket, beaded by Furehes.

REPUBLICAN AND THIRD PARTY CONFERENCE. There were rumors of a conference here be- twoen the third perty and republican leaders, but no number of them were here. Furches ; Was not present. There have been such a multi- | tude of statements made that it bas been hard | to get atthe trath. The republicans will not | take down their state ticket, Eaves positively declares. Otho Wilson, third party chairman, declines to say a word, but his state ticket may come down. Chairman lls me he talked with Dr. Exum, third nominee for governor, and that Exum said he would not re- tire for any consideration, but would make the run, no matter what happened. Congressman Henderson was informed a day or two ago by a friend that the republicans in- tended to sacrifice their electoral, state and county tickets in order to secure the election of Congressmen. This is inaccurate. licans are willing to give the third party some Congressmen, bat only in districts where they consider they themselves stand no,chance of | winning. | Chairman Eaves confesses that he never knew a more puzzling election, though as to ‘the national and state tickets he is ready to sa) that he is sure the republicans will win. He is also sure that Ball, republican nominee for associate justice of ‘the supreme court, and Norwood, nominee for judge of the superior court, will be elected, since the third party will vote for these. The party leaders have so told Chairman Eaves. A special effort is also being made to elect Purnell, republican nominee for attorney general, since itis now tolerably cer- tain that Lyon, third party, will be taken down. attorney general. ‘The registration books were closed at noon last Saturday. There is a large increase in | Yoters and it really looks like the figures given by the democrats as a total, 310,000, will be reached, WHAT THE NEGROES SAY. Some of the people at the post office tried the experiment of asking country negroes, who call for their mail in large numbers, what ticket would be voted by their race. The people who asked the question tell me they are surprised to | hear most of the negroes say they would vote for all the third party nominees, Weaver in- cluded. This does not at all tally with Chair- man Eaves’ statement, since he assumes the negroes to be practically solid for Harrison. One negro stated to democrats that at the re- ublican meetings his people were told to vote | for n and Furches and for the third party county ticket. They gre also promised that if the third party fails to elect its candi- dates the populists will in the next election vote the republican ticket. ‘Tis is provably accurate news. No doubt this is the nature of the arrangement between the populists and re- But some 3 withdrawn in Stokes county Pringle, third party nomince for the legislature, withdrew at the request of the party and then the re the populist ticket was withdrawn. Postmaster Brady of Charlotte has made ap- plication to Judge Dick of the federal court for the western district for the appointment of a number of supervisors of election. Senator Vance has so far recovered bis health that he will vote at Charlotte and after the elec- tion will go to Southport, a quiet seaside place near Wilmington, where he will remain perhaps three or four weeks. 4 CAMPAIGN ROW. Rev. Dr. George W. Sanderlin, now state anditor, is a democrat and was a soldier in the late war. He returned here yesterday from Yancey county and gives the following account of a bloody election fight at Burnsville in that county. He was billed to ‘The republi- cans there and in Mitchell county are by far the most disorderly in the state. A party of them swore that no more democratic speeches should be made, When Dr. Sanderlin spoke there they formed « mob, and standing at the door of the court house sent in Bud Parratt to attack Dr. ‘Banderlin and break up the meeting. Parratt went in. The court room was full of people, and, it is said, be began by cursing Dr. Sanderlin aud all the hearers, drawing a large knife and making his way toward the doctor. The democrats seized him and forced him out of the building. Aw they reached the outside a concerted attack on them was made by Parratt’s gang, who were armed with pistols, knives, clubs and stones, ‘The democrats returned the fire. Several por- sons were shot. The Parratt gang retired i disorder. Dr. Sanderlin resumed his speech. Suddenly three of the Parratt’s ran into the court room. They were thrown ont bodily and then the fight on the outside was renewed, Parratt, the ringleader, was shot twi dying. ‘A democrat named Phillips 4 died. Over twelve other persons were eriously wounded. Dr. Sanderlin ays the scene around the court bouse was a terrible one, Five persons were dead before he left and their bodies and those of a number of | badly wounded men were lying all around the building. The purpose was to assassinate Dr. Sanderlin and the affair has aroused great in dignation in the transmontane counties, It will unquestionably help the democrats, and is SOUTH CAROLINA, The Republicans Will Not Make a Coali- tion With the Third Party. Correspondence of The Evening Star. Cmarzeston, 5. C., October 31, 1892. The first sign of life in the political world that has shown itself in this etate since the dem- | ocratic primaries in August last made its ap- | pearance today in the person of Mr. H. G. Ewart. Mr. Ewart came here several days ago and modestly registered at one of the hotels. It was ascertained that he bad frequent confer- ences with some of the republican leaders here, but before the newspaper people could get on to him Mr. Ewart had left. There seems to be | no doubt that his mixsion was of a political character. It is stated on good authority that his purpose was to raise funds for the national republican campaign. This visit cheered up the republicans consid- erably, inasmuch as it was an official recognition of the party in this state, which is very rarely offered except upon the eve of a national con- vention, The political situation in South Carolina ou the eve of the election does not present any acute phases. There are three electoral tickets in the field—republican, democratic and third arty. The probibitionists are making their ight in the democratic party and will not put out an electoral ticket. The populiste, led by the editor of the Farmers’ Alliance organ, are coquetting with both parties. It is known that overtures were recently made to the state chair- man of the republican party for a coalition, but were rerulsed. THE REPUBLICANS WILL NOT FUSE. State Chairman Webster is quoted as saying: “I know of no republican in this state who bas had or will have anything to do with the third party. Republicans have nothing to gain by It is my opinion that ary such political scheme would be a blunder and not likely to be successful. The republicans could not give their entire strength to any combination ticket, and, to tell the truth, I do not think that the third party in this state have any votes to deliver. As to the reform republican party in this state, which made an effort to get into the convention at Minneapolis. it has pretty well been absorbed by the regulars, They elaim now to be in rank with us.” It would be difficult to give at this time any Teliable estimate of the third party vote in this state. Ashas been intimated in this corre- spondence, the men who now have on re | 16 democratic machine are 6 0 thor les of the Ocala form that the old line "democtate have a f- all upon professions o 3 ° “And yet it is extremely doubtfal if any considerable number of them will have the hardihood to break through the traces and vote against the democratic electors.

Binarvouam, Ava., October 31, 1992. The near approach of the election does not | materially change the political situation in this | state. A careful review of the situation from a | ‘non-partisan standpoint indicates that Alabama will in all probability go for Cleveland by a| small majority. However, the fusion leaders, notable among whom is Peyton G. Bowmen, chairman of the Kolb committee, declare that the state will go against Cleveland by 50,000 majority. They preface this statement, how- ever, with the provision “it we get a free ballot and a fair count.” The question of “‘a free ballot and a fair. count" is one that the anti-democratic forces have long harped upon in the south, and most specially in Alabama. Kolb has cried fraud ever since he was first defeated for the nomina- tion of governor two years ago, Ever since 1874 the management of the elections has been in the hands of the democrats, and us that party has always won either by a large or a small majority the opposition have charged ny It has been on the question of appointing election managers in this state that such a fight hhas been made. During the present week the Bullock county cases will come up before Judge Bruce of the United States court at Montgom- ery for final settlement. The mandamus is brought to compel the clerk of court, probate Judge and sheriff of Bullock county to appoint party managers as well as republican and democratic managers. The failure of the democratic county officers to recognize the third party as a political factor bas aroused much feeling among the members of that fac- tion. A CONTEST. ‘The latest thing in the way of circulars isa long one that bas been issued to the fusionists of the state. Itis signed by P. G. Bowman. chairman of the state executive committee of the Jeffersonian democracy, and George F. Gaither, chairman of the state executive com- mittee of the people's party. The circular is addressed to the members of the above named parties and all friends of a | free ballotand a fair count. It calls upon them to prepare to protect their rights at the ballot | box on election day. ‘They are instructed to | appoint aboard of five chullengers for cach | polling place. At each poll one of these challengers is to keep a list of all the! votes cast. These lists are to be for-| warded to A. O. Harwell of Birmingham, | state xecretary of the Jeffersonian democratic committee (Kolbites), who will file them away. If the official count does not agree with the count as kept by the fusionist challengers the latter propose to bring about a contest. ‘They declare that they will bring the contest before the United States Congress und have that body to go behind the returning boards. ‘They claim that the democrats have planned toswindle them out of their rights, to pre- | vent the election of the fusion electoral and | congressional ticket and that they will keep their own count of the vote just as it is cast. ‘The democrats say that this is only a new way by which the Kolbites are trying to buil- doze them, and they don’t propose to notice any of their bluffs. The tact is that the democrats are conducting | their campaign on the quiet, and are not show- ing the opposition their hand. IN THE FIrTH DisrBtoT. In the fifth congressional district the race for Congress has narrowed down to Whatley, fusionist candidate, and Cobb, straight demo- crat. Hiram Gibson, the nominee of the Stevens republicans, was withdrawn by that faction some time ago and cx-Congressman J. Y. McDuffie put up in his place. Now McDuffie of Whatley. It is said that great pressure was brought to bear on McDuftie by the Magee element of the republican party. This makes the situation worse for the democrats, as it unites the opposition forces on one candidate— Whatley. It looks very much like Judge Cobb will bo defeated for re-clection, though the fight will be close. = WITTE REPUBLICANS. : The most influential white republicans of north Alabama have just perfected the organi- zation of a Harrison and Reid club in Birmin, bam, and William Vaughn, until recently re- publican candidate for Congress, is president of it, Four years ago the same men who formed this club organized whut was then known as the “White Leagne” in this state. It was a league of white republicans, who, it was alleged, ex- eluded negroes from their club and banded themselves together to get all the federal oftices for white men. immediately upon the organization of the white Harrison and Reid club a few nights ago the story was started that it was simply a re- organization of the White League. ‘This has served to further widen the breach that divides the two republican factious in Alabama. ‘The organizers of the club, who are Moseley men, declare that it is not the White League, but the negroes, it is suid, will not believe them. * THE NEGRO yore. A careful study of the situation shows that the Harrison and Reid ticket will get eight out of every ten negro votes cast in Alabama. Tbe scheme of the fusionists and Moseley republi. cans is to elect Harrison by way of the route. In other words, to elect the fusion delegates put up at the Lakeview convention and have them yote for Harrison in the electoral college, if it is seen that Alabama's vote is necessary to elect Harrison. ‘The negroes are opposed io this and will vote direct for Harrison and Reid electors, The negroes bave registered very largely in the Gitdee, Dut throughout the ‘country’ they have not registered much. It is «nid that some of the most respectable element of the negroes are for Cleveland. This can be said of the negroes who are thrown most with the white people. Many of these, though democrats atheart,do not vote for fear of bringing condemnation on themselves from their fellow citizens, who are of another politi- cal faith. | SITUATION IN A NUTSHELL, It will be seen that if the negroes vote for the straight republican electoral ticket and the fusionists and white republicans cast their votes for the fusion ticket. made by Weaverites and republicans, an entirely different ticket from the one voted for by the negroes, the democrats are sure to carry the state. This is the situation in a nutshell. It’s too late to unite the negro republicans and the fasionists and white republicans, so there will be three elec- toral tickets in the ficld—the democratic and the two anti-democratic. is will ineure the She peosifen ques: Cleveland's majority will be small, even with ition electoral tickets in the field. ‘This is ive of the fact that a union of dis-| pany me,” be continued, ad has | Would promise to vote for the proper persons.” rolls have cithe> gone home to vete or are getting ready to depart. They are not making going north and south and cast and west in greater numbers than ever before. Nearly all ‘the more prominent men bave been in the field some time since and these are they who have stirred up their lagging brethren at the national capital. The Macedonian ery is ringing in every earand responsive people and pocket books | nave made their appearance by the thousand. Democrats, too, are going home te rote or are contributing toward their cam; fand, but none of the democrats in office are sa; much about the effort either he or any one elve is putting forth. Leading democratic officials went home shortly after March 4, 1889, and have not yet returned. Outside the office-holding portion of the democratic subdivision of thiv community there is much apparent vigor. “The Maryland Democratic Club,” said Pree- ident C. C. Lancaster toa Stam reporter, “is doing all it can to further party success. Our efforts this time are directed especially to the Bfth and sixth Maryland distri. We are anxions to re-elect Compton and McKaig, and bolieve we hall succeed. For other districts we are doing nothing; all the democratic candi- dates except the two I have named have a sure thing. Wherever it is necessary to furnish | shall transportation we are doing it. I weate McKaig & day or two ago that we were domg all-we could to get him cash and votes. y are what he needs.” SEXDING DEMOCRATS ROME. Active measures are being udopted to get the democratic votera resident in the District to their homes in time to cast their votes next week. The state associstions have committees organized, not only to stimulate an interest on the part of those who have the right to vote, but also to provide ways and means for sending the voters to their homes. Arrangements have been made with the various railroad companies for reduced rates and in some cases, voters do not feel able to pay their own way, the tickets are supplied. A éommittee of the Columbia Democratic Club, of which Capt. John Miller is chairman, bas special cl of the arrangements for sonding voters to their homes and this committee is working in co-oper: ation with the state associations. Capt. Miller stated this morning to » Stam man that he estimated thi least 5,000 demo- cratic voters from this District would cast their votes in the various states next week. Of this number he thought that at least 3,000 were voters in the states of Virginia, Maryland and West Virginia, The balance is divided up among the other states. The democratic vote of the District be thought would be brought out as fully at the present election as was the case four years ago. At that time there were more democrats living here than at present owing tothe number occupying goverument positions whose pluces have since been filled With republicans. On the other hand a great many democrats were disgruntled four years ago and did not go home to vote. This time, however, the democrats are united and enthu- siastic and for this reason the actual loss in the number owing to the change in the adminis- tration will be fully made up by the going to the polls of men who stayed away four years ago. OFF FOR ILLINOIS. Quite a large crowd of republicans bas de- parted for IMinois, First Controller Matthews, Capt. Meredith an@ Supervising Architect Ea- brooke are doing their quota of stumping. In all at Jeast two hundred republican voters will journey from Washington to the sucker state for the purpose of ying Mr. Altgeld out cold and stiff. SEW HAMPSHIRE MEN GOING HOME. “New Hampshire will, a8 usual ko republi- said Gen. Patterson to a Stax reporter “We republicans who reside here temporarily will help the result along, for we are ull going home to vote. There are seventy of us. Last election only ten went home.

We shall elect a republican gov- ernor and ought to pull the Congressmen through, too. Blair? He ought to get there. He has a thousand to overcome, hut if the vote is anything like as heavy asit ususlly isin presi- dential elections he can come out on top.” THE KEYSTONE REPUBLICANS, “There is no effort being made to have Penn- sylvamians go home to vote,” said Capt. Co- augh this afternoon, “but fully 500 are going anyhow, and about 200 of these are Philadel- phiuns,’ We have nothing to worry over; the state is pertectly safe. No: weare not send- ing any men to their homes; we can put the money to better use. It would cost €8 to send a voter to Pittsburg, and instead of doing that we can send two New Yorkera to New York, where yotes will count. OM10 AND NEW YORK. “Everything is all right in Ohio,” said Col. Dan. Grosvenor, “but we are going to clinch the business by moving out of Washington at least 400 strong. There may be as many as 100 more; in fact, I think there will be.” Altogether the New York Republican Associa- tion bas issued transportation certificates to more than 1,600 men who will next. week cast their bullots in the empire state. How many more are going is not yet known, but the chances are that not one republican official whose home is in New York will be here elec- tion day. HOOSTERS HOMEWARD BOUND. ‘There will not be a republican hoosier in town by Saturday night, says Capt. Leonard of the United States marsbal’s office. The cap- tain leaves tonight and so will several other Indiana people who expect to vote for the re- election of President Harrison, In. all there will be about 350 of them. News received from private sources satisfies the hoosier colony here that Gen. Harrison's chances have resolved themselves into a certainty, and that Indiaua was never more safely republican, Third Auditor Hart will leave for Frankfort, Ind., today. He, too, proposes to vote for Gen. Harrison. ‘Kansas and Wisconsin people have gone home in great numbers, Nearly all have already departed. es Will Go Home to Vote. “Yes; Iexpect to vote next week,” said Col. F. A. G. Handy, the well-known journalist, to a Stan reporter this afternoon. “I had not ex- pected to, but the demand for my presence at Gordonsville on election day is so great that the pressure can no longer be resisted. Several delegations have catled on me to save the party in Virgmia and I am going to do it even if I have to pay railroad fare all the way down and back again.

Considerable official interest was displayed here yesterday evening when Tur Sran an- nounced that the civil service commission had asked the Attorney Genera) to prosecute Sam- uel Thomas, treasurer of the republican state committee of New York, for eending to govern- ment clerks letters soliciting contributions to the campaign fund. Discussing the action of himself and his col- leagues Commissioner Roosevelt said: “It has been reported in the press that simi- lar circulars have been sent to the clerkx and carriers in the Brooklyn and New York post offices. I presume that if an investigation is ordered an effort will be made to procure sam- ples of these also, but Ido not know that this will be necessary in view of there being three samples already submitted. This is the first time the civil service commission bas ever a tively interfered to prevent the collection of political assessments during s presidential cam- Paign. “The commission has been obliged to suggest the indictment of » uumber of chairmen and officers of republican national and county com- mittees, but I am delighted to say that nothing in any way reflecting on the republican na- tional committee has yet been laid before us. So far it seems beyond a doubt true that the re- publican national committee has been carefully Tespecting the law. ‘This is a pleasing contrast to what was done by the democratic national committee four years ago, when they not only asseased the postal clerks and letter carriers in the local offices, but when actually the chair man, Mr. Barnum, came down to Washington and took up his quarters here with the avowed purpose of seeing personally to the assessment of the thousands of government employes in the departments.” Chairman Hackett was not at all disturbed over the matter. “I hardly credit the report,” he said. “However, I can say that there is positively nothing in the charges upon which is stated that they asked the attorney general to prosecute Gen. Thomas. The letters went by this committee to republicans asking for con- tributions to legitimate campaign expenses are exactly such letters as Tammany and the demo- crats at large are sending out. There is no de- mand made for money and the recipients of the letters are not addressed as officeholders. If officeholders under the government receive such letters they get them at their homes, just as other republicans do. There is nothing in it, you may be certain.” PHOEBE COUZINS WAS NOT THERE. She Plainly Shows That That Fiery Dynamite Speech in London Was Not Hers. Miss Phoebe Cousins, who succeeded her father in the office of United States marshal of the district of Missouri and who was secretary of the board of lady managers of the world’s fair in Chicago, was, in a cable message re- ceived from London last week, accredited with having advocated the use of dynamite and other extreme measures in order to force upon the male community the just claims and rights of women in taking their places in legislative and other public assemblies. Miss Couzins is at present in this city. She came to New York from Chicago yesterday to endeaver to trace the source of the cablegrams. She was seen last night at the Plaza Hotel by a Kecorder reporter, to whom she said that she had not only never uttered a word of the speech attributed to her, but she was confined to her room by a slight illness in Chicago at the time she is alleged in the cablegram to have been in London. — Dickens’ old house, No. 26 Wellington street, London, Strand, is about to be pulled down.
