JOHN 1 DETERMINED THERE MAY BE A RIOT NEXT TUESDAY Doth Sides Nave Tssucd Positlve Orders Forees Wil ie About I Strength-An Ugly Outlook Presented. pw Youk, Nov. 2.—[Special Telegram to Tie Ber.|—There is danger of an open con- flict av tpe polls in this city Tuesday beuwoen tho Tammany nolice States deputy marshais underJohn I Daven- port. The opposing positions taken rights and duties of the inspectors of elec Jtion and the United States marshals av utterly antagonistic that it is difficuit to seo how riot and bloodsed is to be avoided. The republicaus insist that, under the state law, next and the United s to the €0 1t takes threo inspectors of clection to consti- tute a quorum. ‘Tammany's polico board had decided of itsolf that, the two Tamwany inspactors “of each board constilute a quorum. Tammany has also publicly announced that no United States marshal will be al lowed within 150 feet of a poltine place, John I. Davenport announces in language more terso than elegant that if auy election mspector violates the law he wiil be “yanked out” of the polling booth then and there. He will instruct his that 1t wiil oe illegal for the inspectors to refuse the batlot of any registered person ‘There nre 1,137 polling precincts in thoeitv. men Two policemen and two United States deputy marshals will beon duty at cach place. Re- sorve forces of police and reserve forces of deputy marshals will be stationed at con venient points. The two forces will be equal. The greatost danger lies in the probability that in some precincis the Tammany in- spectors will refuse the ballots of registered persons on ono pretext or anotber. Should IS happen the resuit mizit be very serious. INERAL'S ATTORNEY 1RCULA 113% tions t Eleetions S visors Call Out kabid stranees. sw York, Nov. 2.--Within the twenty- four hours last passed birth has been given 10 elements which may come togetbor 1 this city on election @ay with a sharp crash. One of the clements roferred to is the announced adherence by Attorney General Milter 1o the custom of the past, under Judge Bradley’s decision, 1n accordanco with which federal supervisors of election Lave passed any- where they deemed wise within the election enclosures. Tue otber nud opposing ele ment lies in tho fuct that Licutenant Gov srnor Sheehan, chaivman of the New York campaign comuittee, has issued an address to the democrats of tue stale in which ho cites Juage Brewer's decision and lo cails on democrats to see to it that the federal supervisors do not enter the voting booths. Judge Brewer of the United States supremo coart bas ruled that supervisors had no right to enter booths or ko behind the en- closure in which the vallot boxes ure, Secretary Dy Freast of the democratic state committee, speaking today of Mr. Mil lor's circular to federal supervisors and of Mr. Sheehan’s opposing order to democrats of this state, said he beiioved tuat federal supervisors bud no right in the nooths aud thoy would not be allowed to go there, - He said the democrats would seo to it thul they stayed outside the enclosure where tho booths and baliot boxes re, and this con struction foreshadows the possible clush of the two elements retesred to on Tuesday next. Democrats Will Oppose It. In his aadress Mr. Sbeeban says: “By saction 153 of the code of criminal pro- vodure, any person, either & privato person, or a pence officor, WAy arrest another with out warrant fora crimo committed i his presence, and take the person arrestoa at onve before & magistrate, bis anplies to 1ho republican warshals and superyi=ors as well us o any other person.” "hon, a8 Lhough L0 press thi adds in olack face force the provision of the' law and stand upon your rights ws Ame zens.” It 1s believed here that taking tnis autho Iy, the democratic eleciion oficials of this «ity, particuiarly, will muke stubborn re sistance to federal officials if thoy entrencn upou tho lines officially marked out in oppo. sition to the directions contifued in tho at toruey genoral’s eirculnr, issued under the Bradley decision. ‘That this outcome is anticipated federal officials of this city is ovideuced by the fact that United States Murshal Jacobus of this city sent a telogram 10 Aot ing Attoraoy .General Aldrich, calliug at- tention to what he designated the *inflain matory proclamation of Lieutenant Goy ernor’ Shochan,” in regard L0 the presence of federal supervisors at polling bootis.

Tue tariff is only “iucidentally referrsd to, the ‘force bill,” the state bank curroncy propo- sition, the mouey qiestion und reciprocity aro not even hinted at. 1L is evident that the democratic leader regards his party as already beaten on the tarifl, reciprocity and state bank currency and avandons them. “Lhie attention of the country is chnilenged oy an ex-president of whe Usitea States and a candidate for re-election to the corruption of the franchises and the large sums which are raised for campaign purposes, and the manner in which they are expended.

HILL TALKS FOR DEMOCRACY, ator New York's S ertatus the People of Port Jervis, Portyenvis, N, Y., Nov. 2. —Senator Hill arrived in lown this afternoon and after dining was escorted 1o the opera house, which was crowded with psople. Lispre- sontative democrats were present from Goshen, Middletown, Monticello, Milford, Honesdale and other neighboring towns, Senator Hillspoke in partas follows: “This is a campaign of education. We are now dis- cussing industrial and economic questions From 1560 to 1858 the issues raisod by tho war were dominant, but Cleveland's ad mivistration gave opvortunity for tue dis- cussion of new quostions.

The power to levy taxes is a despotic but necessary vower in every well organized government. ‘I'he difference betweon the two porties may ba briefly defined as follows: I'he democratic party belisves in a strict construction of the federal coustitution; the republican party velieves in a loose con- struction of that instrument. The repub- licans are willing ta coufer every nossible power upon the ¢overnment. The domocrats are for continiug the government to its strict constitutional limits, With Incidental Protection, “‘The republicans say that taxos should be lovied for tho necessary expenses of the gov- ernment. There we agree with them, We bolieve in a tatiff for rovenue, with in- cidental protection, This has always been tho position of the dewmocratic party. Tariffs which create uunccossary revenue are uncoustitutional. I admit that the first congress enacted a rovenue bill with a protection preamblo, Let the republicans make the most of it. Congress was coerced into the passago of this bill by the impor. tuoities of Penusylvania, always on the out- look for her own interests.

All the turiff bills passed since thal ume have been passed as ravenue hills without the recital of protective intent.

I quote his language: ***With the republican strength taus aug- mented, it will 0o impossibie for democrats tocarry their own electoral ticket to vic- tory.’ *If the demacratic party cannot elaot the Cleveland electors, how can they hope to ciect any part of the demoeratic ticket? Stand up, Mr. Euciid Martin, and toii the democratic party what you think of this death-deanng stroke of the governor. Stand up, Mr. J. Sterling Mortor, demo- cratic candidate for governor, and tell your fellow democrats what you think of this effort of your governor to cast the demo- cratic vote witn the independent party. What is the matter with the democratic party thatit can do nothing better than play a *hide and scck’ game with the in- dependents? He in- Nut for tndependent Crackers. “Next comes a proposition that must be startliog to the allisnco party. When you independents met in your nationul conven- tion in Omabu wud declared your plazform and nominated Gencral \Weaver for pres- igeut of the United States, you pledged yourselvel to Liim to devote’ your energies 10 his election in ood faith. When Genoral Weaver accanted that nomination he ex- pected the oloctoral ticket of tnat pal be elected for the purpose of putting iu the whito nouse. When General him Van Wyck accepted the nomination of the inde- pondeut party in Nebraska, ho oxnectea that party to make him governor of the state. You then oxpected 1o actin good faitk: for the accomvlishment of tnat end. *Now, let us look ot the startling declara tion of James I3. Boyd. He telis the demo- crats that to vote fov the independent ticket ‘is & definite step toward victory and the ultinmte triumph of Clevelund and Stevenson, and the principles they repre- sent.” In other words, the declaration is that the democrats, feeling that if party lines remain as they are today the demo- crauc party will be defeated and the repub- licans achieve a victory. This is a statement that the independent party caunot eleot its ticket, state or national, of its own vote. It is a declaration to vou, General Van Wyck, that you cannot be élected; it 15 a deciar: tiou to vou, J. Sterling Morton, that you cannot be elected governor: it is & declars tion that the democrativ purty, small in num- bers though it be, hoids the balanco of power wnd that it proposes to uso it for the purnose, not of eloctiug Weaver, but to elect Grover Cleveland, and for the destruction aod burial of the independent party. It is not proposed to give anything in exchange for the "benefits 1L expacts Lo reap by this one sided coalition. It is not proposed to give any votes to the independent state ticket, but m3ans to let your stato ticket be submerged, from Generul Van Wyck at the ton, to the lowest state office. It does not mean 1o g1ve a vote to the independent ticket for the purpose of electing Weaver, but for the purpo:o of defeating Weaver by throw- 1ng the selection of president 100 a demo- cratic congress, What do vou indevendents think of this scheme to rob youof the imaginary victory for which you have been enthusiastically cumpaigning this state, and all the western and southern states from Oregon to Ala- bama!
