New York, Nov. 5.—An afternoon newspe- per says: Itwas rumored about the Federal building this morning that the United States grand jury, which is considering John I. Davenport's charges, was about to act in the case of three city officers, who were said to have been accused of abetting illegal registration. The names of the three officers could not be learned, but it was stated on good authority that one of the three persons nas 4 police justice and the other two were city hall officers. The three, it was alles Daven) three di |, had attempted, as ort alleged, to colonize voters in two or ifferent districts, SWEARING IN DEPUTY MARSHALS.

United obus when asked thix morn- pecial marshals would be pro- plied that he could not tell. “There will be at least one for each polling ee in the city. That makes 1,135. Then Will have to employ some in looking up and arresting those men who have been illegally registered at many of the poling places. All the men needed for the proper protection of the citizens and to see that the laws of the United States aro faithfully carried out will be pointed.” Mr. Jacobus denied the report published this morning that the money for the payment for these men came from the republican head- quarters, He suid that they were government employes, and while he did not know the belinf of all of them, yet he supposed them to be republicans, as the national administration was republican, and those in its employ should be of the same shade of political belief. Mr. Jacobus also intimated thatthe marshals, in addition to their budges and warrant of authorite, would be armed so that in case of any conflict with officers acting under author- ity from the state or city they may be prepared to exert the authority of the national govern- ment, which he claims is paramount to that of the city or state.

THE CAMPAIGN PRACTICALLY ENDED. ‘The presidential campaign of 1892 is practi- cally ended. ‘The managers have sent out their final instructions, the subordinates at the va- rious headquarters are starting for home to vote, and if any work is done at the political headquarters within the next few days it will be done behind closed doors aud the public is it. vers say that as far as per- cerned, this haa been the CHAIRMAN BARRITY'S VIEW, Chairman Harrity today summed up the situ- ation from a democratic standpoint as follows: “cannot put it any stronger than to say that Tam entirely confident of the result.

CITEMENT OVER DEPUTIES, The excitement continues today over the an- ticipated conflict between the police and the federal marshals on election day.

Inspector Williams told a reporter this morn- ing that he did not anticipate any trouble at the | wolls election day. “The people of thix city wve too much respect for law and_ order to in- ige in any such nonsense,”’said the inspector. Col. Richard Bright, sergeant-at-arms of the ouse of Representatives, expressed his belief this morning in the suecess of the democratic national ticket, but said he did not believe in being over contident. ALLEGED ELECTION SCHEMES. The republican national committee claims to have received information in regard to an al- leged scheme of the democrats in which they contemplate bringing over 150 men from Philadelphia to this” city on élection day who will represent themselves as members of the Amalgamated Association and sufferers of the Homestead strike. ‘They will «urround certain polling booths and eapture the vote of the republi orkingmen, The democratic campaign managers say that the story is absurd. The Erening World eays: Chairman Harrity of the democratic national committee morning received a dispaich from Secretary ‘ead of the Philadelphia city democratic mittee informing him that a number of Philadelphia firemen bad been ordered to this city to be sworn in as U.S. deputy marshal Chairman Harrity gave instructions to bave once.

Special Dispatch to The Evenine Star. New Youx, Nov. 5.—The close of the last week preceding the election finds everybody as uncertain regarding the result as at the begin- ning. As to New York there can be no doubt that the weight of opinion is that it will be dem- ceratic. It is, however, difficult to understand in the face of the falling off in registration in democratic sections and the increased registra- tion in republican sections why the republican ¥ of four years ago should be reversed. ‘There is every evidence that the drift among manufacturers, businessmen and workingmen iw against a change in the financial policy of the government in the midst of a prosper- condition and that there ix in- tense dissatisfaction with the proposed re- turn to a state bank currency. Besides this republicans. are more — thoroughly devoted to their candidate and more thoroughly united and earnest in his behalf than are the democrats for theirs. Yet’ with the betting two to one on Cleveland's carrying the state, and few republican i the Conclusion is irresistible that the chances in New York must really be against the republi- cons, {or some reason which doesn’t appear on the surface. As to Indiana, from what can be gathered here at this last moment there is reason to be- lieve the chances are rather favorable to repub- licans. Connecticut seems almost certain to go republican, and nobody need be surprised at anything in Delaware and West Virginia. Perea oats WISCONSIN. Chairman Wall of the Democratic State Committee Claims About Everything. Mizwavxee, Nov. 5.—E, C. Wall, chairman of the democratic state central committee, when asked this morning his opinion as to the result in Wisconsin next Tuesday, replied: “It is my judgment that the state yy at least 13,000; that there will not be any difference between the vote of Mr. Cle and Gov.

The consequences, if serious, being u matter with which the federal aa well as the state au- | thorities may be charged, it is thought that | both sides will see the wisdom of moderation and that conservative judgments will rule on election day. > DEMOCRATIC BUSINESS MEN. A Large Parade Through New York's Streets This Afternoon. ‘New Yorx, Nov. 5.—The excitement and ac- tivity of the business exchanges were trans ferred to the neighborhood of Bowling Green and Broadway and Chambers street this morn- ing. The Business Men's Cleveland and Steven- ton Clubs were getting ready for their grand parade. The first division was set down to move at 1:30 o'clock. Several hours before that time, however, the men who were to march began to come together at the places of formation. From indications early this morning | it was thought certain that 40,000 men would turn out in the two divisions, From 10 o'clock on enthusiastic business men formed in | detachments at various points in the city and marched to the streets near the places of form: | tion.

THE Much Uncertainty Though, Probably Har- rison Will Get the Electoral Vote. Correspondence of The Evening Star. co, Oct. 29, 1892. The headquarters of both the republican and democratic state central committees m_ thin, city are anything but cheerful. In the latter there is an air of anxiety as from a feeling that victory may possibly be almost within their grasp, but they don't quite know what to do to make it certain. At the republican head- quarters there is an air of gloom as if things know what to do to make them better. Over in the humbler uncarpeted rooms of the peo- ple’s party state central committee there is a | breezy air about everything that seems to arise from a lively sense that they are making it very uncertain and uneomfortable for the other tw Chairman Meyers of the republican state cen- tral committee today refused to be interviewed on the outlook in California.

MR. DE YOUNG'S OPINION. M. H. de Young, proprietor of the San Fran- cisco Chronicle, member of the national repub- lican committee and the leading repubiican | candidate for the United States Senate to suc- | ceed Felton, said to your correspondent last evening: “In this campaign California has an unknown quantity in the people's party, which. I believe, will poll many more votes than 1s generally ox- | pected. For a third party it has a much more | complete organization than uny similar move- | mentever before had on this coast. It has made local nominations in each county of the state and it has nominated a candidate for Con- gressin each of the seven congressional districts. 18,000 votes in California this year, and the complexion of the two old partion represented | in this number will be to the disadvantage of | the republicans by about, 3.000 votes. If | am correct, and the strength of the people's party does not exceed the figures I have named, it | will not affect the general result and the state will be safe for Harrison. “From 15,000 to 20.000 votes, though, are a good manv in this part of the country, and that number of men who huve changed their party | affiliations can make a big disturbance i | politics. Things were never before so mixed | and uncertain as the are in this campaign, and | itis simply impossible to predict the result | with any certainty. The apparent apathy in | both parties is owing, I think, to the fuct that both candidates for the presidency have already held the office. Therefore they are well known and do not create that degree of enthusiasm which new candidates always do. “soon after the nominations were made I | thought the democrats and populists combined might elect Cannon to Congress from the sixth district, but Ihave changed my mind and be- lieve that the republican candidate will be suc- cexsful. The democracy his made a very poor fight in that district, aa it hax all over the state—a fact from which the republicans can take courage. “As to my own fight for the Senate, it is too early to talk about that, even if I were so dis- posed. I don't know what the political com- plexion of our next state legislature will be— neither does any one eine. ‘The chances cer- tainls seem to be with the republican party. REPUBLICAN, THOUGH BY A SMALL MARGIN. “To sum it all up I don’t think there is really any doubt that California will go republican, although Iam prepared to see the margin of victory smaller than it usually is in California.” The most prominent working jourhalist on the Pacific coast is Arthur McEwen. He was engaged in newspapef work on the Comstock during the bonanza days and is perfectly familiar with Nevada politics, For nearly twenty years he has been the leading writer on the San’ Francisco press and has “called the turn’ in every campaign with greater accuracy than any other man. His opinion is of more value than that of any politician or any other newspaper man in the state. When told this morning that Tux Stax would like bis forecast HARRISON TO GET THE ELECTORAL VOTE. “In my Judgment California will give her electoral votes to Harrison and elect « demo- cratic legislature. “The reasons w! ¥ the state will go for Har- rison are: Firat, because California is not in touch with the east and not, affected, therefore, by Sou: pular tendencies; second, because the ™m — Railroad Company is on the » wide. lifornia democrats in this campaign | have been short of money and brains, and from the beginning have fought feebly, as those who expect to be defeated always do. With intelli- gence and energy the state might have boen carried for Cleveland. San Francisco, which gave him 3,000 aoe in 1888, should have been the battlefield, but the leaders fell to fighting nmong themeelves for control of the local machine, forgot the presidency and have made the party disreputable as well as divided it into rancorous factions. THE LEGISLATURE WILL BE DEMOCRATIC. “The legislature will be democratic, because Mr. H. DeYoung is the leading candidate for the United States senatorship. His own party won't have him. though in point of brains and character he 1s casily the peer of Stanford. California is debased, and only small men poe- sessed of money and hampered by no seru in the use of it can hope for high office. ‘That this is true is because the Southern Pacific owns the state politically, as well as commerci- ally.

Mr. Magee took wast a trip to the northern part of the state to look over thé'situation and then he went to south Alabama to see how the land lay there. On re- turning to Birmmgham he quietly left yester- day morning for his home in Pittsburg after having spent only three days in Alabama, His departure ‘so early was entirely unex- | pected. Even those nearest to him were sur- rived and many of the tusion leaders who bad xpected to hoid another conference with him before he left were out of the city at the time and did not see him again. Some of them say that he will return again by Sunday, but this is doubted, as the election is now so near at hand that it is very improb- able that he will come south again. — MARSHALS AT THE POLLS.

The lawyers who have been watching the | efforts of the attorney for the District to climb out of the hole he dropped himself into when he dismissed Mr. Neill Dumont contend that the | | j } | so-called new information on which it is pro-4 posed to prosecute liquor dealers does not and cannot differ in any material point from the information on which Mr. Dumont was pro- ceeding when he was ordered to dismiss the cases and requested to resign. Mr. Dumont seems to be satisfied that there is now no other way than the one be out. “My information,” said be to - orter, “was not based on # violation of an old ordinance of the Levy Court.

It was operative for an offense arising under the license laws and not alone to the liquor que tion, hence was operative all over the District. THE LEVY COURT LAW “But there are portions of the District in which it is unlawful to sell without license. In that fringe of territory known ax ‘the county the unrepeaied Levy Court act applies.
