THE OMAHA DAILY RBEE: MONDAY, OCTOBER 20 1894 MOORE'S BUSINESS RECORD Bomething of the Olaims of the Present Btate Auditor for Re-clection. PEOPLE'S INTEREST ALWAYS CONSIDERED | Detalls of the Maltiplicity of Matters De Has Attended to and to the Satisface tlon of Those Familiar with the Duties | Eugene Moore, the present auditor of pub fic accounts, and the republican candid for re-slection, was born in Wapello county, | lowa, in 1854, and in 1877 removed to Ne- | braska, locating at West Point, where b lived uatil 1889, when, with his family, he | removed to Norfolk, this state, which Is| now his home. At the age of 10 years his fathor died, and from that time until coming | to Nebraska he was variously employed as a | clerk, laborer on a farm and school teacher, devoting as much of his time as he could to | attending schools in the winter. Durlng the | two years he taught school he took up the | study of stenography, which has been his | profession in Nebraska, until the taking charge of the auditor's office At the close of the rebellion he was in his 11th year, and, of course, too young to be an active participant in_ the tumultu- ous affairs of those days. Numerous older relatives of his served in the union army with bravery and distinction, ranking from | private to brigadier general. At the election of 1802 he received a plurality of 21,366 votes for the office he tow fills, out of a total vote of 189,657 With his associates, he was in stalled In office January 14, 1893. Noné connected with the auditor's office are allowed to in any manner be connected with the purchase or sale of any state se- curities. The payment of overtime to the employes of the legislature was prohibited by him as ar as possible, and only then on the oath of the claimant, which resulted in a saving to the state of $13,249.57 on this item alone in | the 1898 session. Mr. Moore dizcontinued the practice of paying salaries of the state's officers and employes in advance and thereby saved the state $7,820 in Interest charges He has Insisted always that all accounts shall be accoppanied by the very best ob- tainable evidences of their accuraey, before be will approve them and issue warrants therefor. and that each claim shall be pre- sented' in a separate voucher and a separate warrant issued therefor directly to the claimant, thus avolding the bunching of claims. From Janvary 14, 1893, to September 1, 1894, he issued 17,851 warrants, as against 11679 for the two years ending March 41, 1892; 12436 for the former biennium, and 16,891 for the four years ending March 21, 1888, DETAILS OF HIS DUTIES. Ho keeps an accurate and skillful account with each institution and all of the counties of the state, showing their financial relation to the state at all times. He sends out annually about twenty tons of revenue books and blanks to the ninety countles of the state. Largely by his personal supervision of the accounts $10,511.77 was saved the stato in the incidental cxpenses of the 1893 session of the legislature, as compared with Its im- mediate predecessor. ANl bonds for the deposit of state funds aro kept by the auditor and recorded by him. An exhaustive biennial report s published by the auditor prior to each regular session of the legislature, and also a statement of appropriations and expenditures, after each se4sion, The temporary school fund is disbursed by 180 warrants to the counties in the state, amonnting to about $700,000, issued semi- annually. As a member of the State Board of Equal- ization the auditor sends out all blanks to all counties, for the valuation af-all prop- ertles in the state, and compiled and tabu- lates all the returns, and helps governor and tregsurer o fix he leyles for the differ- ent state funds, and adfust and equalize the walues of railroad, telegraph and sleep- ing car properties in the state, and cer- tifies them together with the state leviés to the counties of the state. As o member of the State Board of Trans- portation Mr. Moore introduced a resolution which was seconded by Mr. Bartley, and unantmously adopted by the hoard, request- ing Mr. Justice Brewer of the United States supreme court to Immediately take up and hear and determine the maximum rate bill case, and. in compliance with that resolution the case was tried and submitted to him months &go, with the hope that he would speedily setile the questions growing out of the atterapt to enforce that bill. Mr. Moore has been almost constantly at | his desk, having personal supervigion of the affairs of the office in detail, and trying te give tho people of the stute a satistactory administration of his office, GAVE THE STATE THE DOUBT. In every question where any doubt has arisen as to the proper course to pursue In the determination of the many questions that come. to the auditor for adjustment be has uniformly resolved the doubt to the Interest of the state, using the utmost eare to protect its rights and citizens at all tmes. He has registered more than $2,000,000 of ecuaty, precinct, municipal and school bonds, all of which have required the greatest cau. tion and care. In the insurance department Mr. Moore has constantly endeavored to see that the Interests of all were properly protected at all times. He has sought to allow nome but worthy companies to eeck the business of the people of our state, and has endeavored 10 50 manage the affairs of the ofice that the greatest possible security would be afforded to all holders of Insurance policies in Ne- braska. He has admitted forty-eight mew companies. He annually examines 250 state- ments and issues about 7,000 certificates, be- sides collating and issuing large quantities of valuable information in the forms of tabula- tions and circulars. Giving much credit to all of the members of all of the boards and officers, Mr. Moore is entitled 1o some of the praise the state owes her officlals for the sconomical administration of her fourteen atate Institutions for the past two years, as tampaved with any other bieanium in the state's history. Nine of these institutions show & saving In 1893 and 1594 as against the former two years of about $145,000, and the State university and Peru Normal school, with an average attendance in 1893 and. 1894 of bout 1,700, cost the state $11,700 less than { in 1591 and 1892, when the average was about 1,200. The peniten- tary is supported at a fixed price of 40 cents per day per capita for each inmate. The Home for the Friendless and the Miltord home recelve charitable domations and ave not supported entirely by the state, HANDLED MANY MILLIONS, Mr. Moore, as auditor, has exercised un- censing care In the handling of the 540 sep- SERIES NO. 43-44 | titling 040.26 of the people’s money, for the two years ending March 31, 1895, and large snms of the appropriations will revert Lo the treas- ury as a result of the system' of economy enforced by him and his colleagues in office, | April 6, 1893, a law went into effect, which provides for the security and payment of re- Dbate vouchers, Issued by incorporated com- panles, trusts, associations, firms, ete., direct- ing the auditor of public accounts to see that the amounts due are properly collected and disbursed. In compliance with that law Mr Moore has collected $52747.12 from the Dis- | 4 Cattlefeeding company of 1L, which fs_the Whisky trust, and ed it In the First National bank of to be distributed to the 2,582 voucher who are Nebraska patrons of this trust. All but a small part of this amount has been saved for amd paid out to th holders of these certificates and the balance due will be paid on the presentation of the vouchers as they provide. Chapter 15 of th arate appropriations, which rry $2,208 ‘r Peoria, deposi Omaha holders fon laws of 1893 pro- | vides for the appointment by the auditor of two s fal deputies to examine the offices of the ninety county treasurers of the state at least onee in two rs. The law went into effect August 1, 1503, and Mr. Moore ap- | pointed two expert reasury accountants, who | have carefully examined sixty-eight counties | and have filed duplicate copies of their re- | ports with the county authorities, thus en- abling every citizen to know the true condi- tion of his country treasury. The excellence and efficiency of the De- partment of Banking speak praises for the entire board, of which Mr. Moore is a mem- ber, as well as all employes. The State Printing board, of which Mr. Moore is a member, at its last letting of contracts for two years for the public print- ing, awarded the contracts in the spring of 1893 at the second bidding for a total of $8,211, being a saving of $7,499 on the lowest bids made urder the first advertisement, which was rejected. During his incumbency in office Mr. Moore has had separate, thorough and complete ex- | aminations made, in the home offices of twenty different domestic and foreign insur- ance companies, by expert accountants, ap- pointed for that purpose, of all of the affairs of those companies, and it has all been done without cost. He has recently corresponded with the auditing and accounting officers of each of the states and territories of the union concerning their methods of collecting revenue, and he has carefully gathered a very large amount of valuable information | which he hopes to present to the legislature to ald It in perfecting our revenue laws wherever it may be deemed proper. The books of the auditor are deemed to be the property of the people of the state and that at all reasonable hours any citizen has a perfect tight to know what they contain.

Broatch are doing a good deal of laugh- ing wbout the unsuccesstul attempt of Israel to hold a “grand political mass meeting"” for thie Second ward at Kessler's hall last Friday night. Israel had announced the meeting through dodgers, and the announcement was made that several speakers would make ad- dresses, W. J. Broatch being placed at the head o®the list. When the time came Israel and two others were present. They chatted pleasantly for half an hour, when two or three more came in, and one of them, & can- didate, offered to set up the beer. He man- aged to get together the proprietor and about forty boys, democrats and populists, and the beer was had. This seemed to have an en livening effct and Broatch then got up and made a short Majors speech to the motley crowd, and then it was thought more beer would be the thing. The faucet came open and the beer came. but the expected crowd remained away.. The genmeral sentiment was that while Broatch and Frank might draw beer, they could not draw a crowd, and the | 1dea of a great Majors meeting was given up. randulently Koglstered.

Go on in the good work or Judge Holcomb.” Madison: *“Holcomb 1g the man are going to support, and I think carry this part of the county by majority.” Cortland: heartily endorse the position you have taken and am in favor of voting for Holcomb, for the reason that I think le is a better and safer man than Majors.” Butte City: “1 consider your stand Holcomb all right.

A cloan \ep‘ that. we he will a large for good and thorough housecieaning at Lincoln this fall would, in my opinion, be largely due to | the influence of The Bee.’ | Miller—The course of The Bee in the pres- aign meets my view 0 a charm. I rejoice to think that one of our leading state papers has the courage and manliness to come out and tell the truth I am a strong republican, but I fail to sce any republ can ism in a state ticket that Tom Majors stands at the head of. I am an oMl veteran, having served four years, lacking sixteen daye, in the Sixth New York cavalry, but I don't propose to vote for a perfured villain for governor of the state of Nebraska, it he was an old cavalry man. Judge Holeomb is the man for me. A good many republi- cans [n my neghborhood think as I do. They can’t_go Tom Majors. Wayne—I am very much in accord with your position. I shall certainly not vote Zor Majors, but for Holcomb. Talmage—Your course meets with my ap- proval, and although I have been a republican all my life 1 cannot support such a man as Maj Gibbon—Your course in support of Holcomb There are a few here who will support Majors. Riverdale—1 am heartily in favor of your | position, and I am unqualifiedly In favor of Holcomb and ageinst Majors. Two other voters in this family are against Majors. Burr—I am a republican, but will' support Holcomb for governor. Wileox—1 think I will vote for Holcomb, but [ am sorry that the republicans nomi- nated such a man as Majors, as you have proved him to be a fraud. ; Salem—As a republican I approve of the course of The Bee in supporting Holcomb. There are a tumber of the republicans in this viclalty who also approve of the position of The Bee. Unadilla: right and “Your view of Majors Is all You can count on two from my house I am hard to beat on 'lection day to Humboldt: “I approve the course of The Bee in the present campaign and shall give Holcomb my vote.” Butte: “Your action is justifiable and meats the approval of m large part of the republicans of this county. 1 hope you will be successtul and that Holcomb will be our next governor." Alda: * I heartily approve of the course of The Bee and wish there were mors men like you in Nebraska. My neighbors are republicans, but will vote for Holcomb. Butte: I decidedly approve of the posi- tion taken by The Bee. Nebraska camnot afford to seat in her gubernatorial chalr the tool of any ring or corporatiod. There arq two votes for Judge Holcomb in my hotsehold.” Wilcox: “My father and myself will both vote for Holcomb. People speak well of him at this place.” Tilden: “I have almost always voted the republican ticket, but 1 will undoubtedly sup- port Holcomb this time, as will all farmers who are enemies ofthe rallraads.. Here all the pops and deniocrats and some repub- licans will vote for Holcomb." . “MUZZLE THE CRITTER.) Alda: “I am a, rgpublican and have. al- ways supported republican principles, having voted for A. Lincaln, in 1864 while in line of duty facing an enemy who was trying to destroy the grandest government on earth. But if there is an enemy in the republican party who seeks to misiead the people for his own greed into the hands of corporate powers, for God's sake let's muzzle the crit- ter fn his infancy. You have a multitude of farmers in the republican party. We have many pickets on guard, but I am sorry to say there are a few who are disloyal to just’ principles,” Axtell: “I do highly apporve of the stand The Bee has taken,for Holcomb, and I know cral republicans that will vote for him We have got to elect him to save the people from ruination.” Creighton: * I appraye the course you have liken in The Omaha Bee, and espec- lally in regard to Holcomb. All the re- publicans 1 have talked to think the same. Lincoln—Your manly stand in this cam- paign has becn and is commended by every honest man, irrespective of party. You are entitled to the deep respect and lasting obli- Eation of every man who wishes to see the right triumph. Do not be discouraged by villiication and slander aud the lies of a subsidized press. Wherever there is a spark of lonor or integrity in the breasts of men your attitude and strength on these questions and during this campaign deserve the high- est commendation, gratitude, love and re- spect of men, irrespective of party, who de- sire that right shall triumph and net might, corporate corruption and greed. Madison—Your position in regard to the election of governor Is fully approved. Though 1 have been a republican since 1861 I will vote for Holcomb. Savage—I approve your course all through this campaign. 1 have no leve for the pops, but would rather see their whole ticket elected than Tom Majors. I was an anti- slavery man until the £ o. p. was born, and have stood by it ever since, and intend to as long as 1 live, but I n't and won't vote for the B. & M. candidate. Lyons—Your course meets my approval ex- actly, and one of my sons who is also a republican, says he cannot vote for Majors. Valparaiso—1 heartily approve of your sup- port of Judge Holcomb, and myself and two sons will vote for him. Stella—1 am very well satisfled with your course in regard to Majors. 1 know of at least six republicans who will not vote for him, and Nemaha county will go several hundred populist majority. BOSSES MISTAKEN ONCE. Avoca—I am & stralght republican but will not support Majors. If the republican party cannot put up a better man than Majors it means certaln death for the party. The bosses must not think they can nomin- ate anybody and then crack the whip and make all republicans vote for him. 1 think when the election is over they will find they have made a great mistake, Alda—I approve of your course in regard to Majors. If he is what you claim he is I do not see how any republican could vote for h He is the only exception on the ticket that I will make, however, Humboldt—I heartily endorse and appre- ciate the fight of The Bee against corporate monopolies of ~whatever description, and hope that the ballots cast this fall will teach the corporations that the people will consent to be robbed no longer. Hubbell—The policy of The Bee as a re- publican paper is right, on the grounds that it s evident that Majors is & member in good standing of that corrupt state house ring with which we have been burdened for the last twelve or fourteen years. Madison—Every fair minded man must apprecipte the stand you have taken for good and honest government. We have certainly had enough of the other sort in the past few eare. 7 Mideo—Your _ attitude toward Holconb meets my hearty approval. There are sev- eral very influential republicans here work- ing against Majors. This county will give Holcomb a large majority | Oakland—Your pesition meets my approval | and myself and one more in my bouse will vote for Holcomb. In 30 doing we hope to help elect a man who will give us honest government aud help the credit of the state Down with ring rule and rascals. The ratiro oagers. learned early in the campaign that Hhey could not win by fair means, and*todequently they have resorted to browbeating shippers and coercing em- ployes. With the probable exception of the Rock Islang and the Milwaukee systems, every raflrohd f4'the state is engaged In this work of intimidation, The Missouri Paeific has sent one of its general agents along its line to inciruct fits - em loyes to vote for Majors. i nion Paclfic has also sent outyan offolMl () fmpress upon its employes the necessity for voting for the railroad can didate for governor, and agents of that com pany, In spitm of the denials of its oMcinls, are interfoergng, with the personal cholee of every one of ifs emple not only in this city, but alog e entire system in the state Every employe on these railroads from sec tion hand up to telegraphers and local freight agents, has been given to understand in a sgnificant manner that it will be to his in- terest o vote for Tom Majors Last Wednesday ‘afternoon the local freight agent for the Upion Pacific personally ques tioned each one of the fifty or sixty employes In the freight depot in this city as to thelr politics, and especlally as to their Intention of voting for or aguinst Majors. He had each employe's pame set down In a pass book. ~ He first asked each man his politics and then asked him for whom he proposed to vote for governor. If the man replied that he intended to vets for Majors he received no further attention, If the employe d'd not know whom he would vote for he was given to understand In so many words that | 1t would be to his interest to vote for Majors. And if the man answered that he proposed to vote for Holcomb he was ad- monished in language too plain to be mis understood that he would consult his own in- terests and those of his family by changing his mind before election. When a representative of The Bee called upon the confidential clerk of the president of the Union Pacific and asked him in regard to the action of the local representatives of the company in coerciug voters, that official promptly disclaimed all knowledge of the natter and stated that the local agent acted 2ntirely without authority and upon his own responsibility. - He stated further that the order issued years ago, permitting all em- ployes to vote thelr own convictions, was still in force and effect. He did not ex- plain, however, why one of the highest offi- cals of the company was traveling over the line instructing employes how to vote at the coming election. AFRALD OF HIS RECORD. The B. & M. Journal's paid scribbler from Washington is still endeayoring to discredit The Bee's proposition to submit the charges against Majors to a committee of prominent Omaha clergymen. He has printed alleged statements from these ministers regarding the controversy, and has so twisted and qi torted the remarks of the reverend gentle- men that they have been compelled to enter a general protest. Rev. Frank Crane called at The Bee office to state that the remarks attributed to him by the Journal's cor- respondent weré distorted from their true meantug, The efforts of the Majors crowd to parry the effects of the proposition are extremely against him. ' Tom Majors did not dare fa the charges that have been brought agairist him. He makes the specious plea that he could not take the time from the campaign The facts are that the evidence is all in documentary form. The whole list of charges could have bebn presented and considered within a few henrs. Majors claimed that h would have been compelled to g0 to Wash- ington to sefird- tstimony to prove that he is innocent Jof the charges made against him with reference to his record as a con- tingent congréssitan. The facts are that he was In Wastington during the whole of the time when his redord was being investigated by a congrestibhal committee, and after he had presented every evidence at his dis- posal that cdmmittee reported the following We repcrt) tHefefore, that Thomas J Majors is redponsible for the misinformation which induced this committee to make the report of April 1, 1882 (No. 911, first session Forty-seventh, congress), aod that he aided thereig by 8. J. Alexander, se of State of Newtidka, by Pat 0. Hawe Dr. P. Schwenk ‘and George H. Reborts. And ‘We reporl that the testimony of Davis 8 false, " AndtSro ask theadention: ¢fsthe, folloying resolution: and e FRE RSO & e " printed copy opt report, aincluding the gidenve, (o eneh of ithe following officers The district attorpey of the District of Co- lumbia, the attorney’ generat of the United Btates and the governor of the state of Ne- braska,-that they may take such action as they may deem sultable to the gravity of the wrongs committed by the persons whose conduct is in this “conclusion’ set forth, The foregoing report and resolution was adopted by a republican congress without a dissenting vote. If Majors could not pro- duce enough evidence in his' own behalf to prove that ha was not zuilty of the charges how could he expect to find at Washington now the evidence necessary to prove that there was no foundation for the misconduct with which he was charged? The records in regard to the other charges made against him are equally accessible. The committee could have investigated them without leaving the room. The proofs spoke for themselves. The fact yet remains that Majors simply did not dare face the charges at the risk of having seven leading ministers of Omaha report upon their truth. The propo. sition to submit the charges to the committe: of ministers hit Majors in a vulnerable spot and he dared not run the risk of accepting it. Reports of the Intention of the Majors campalgners to colonize the state with illegal voters continue to come in. The railroad managers who are assiting the project have also adopted a new and altogether original plan, never before attempted in Nebraska, but used effectively In eastern states last year. Voters who are not in sympathy with the attempt to elect Majors will be given free passes to points outside of the state or to distant points (n the state, with the expecta- tion that they will use them and thus be away from home on election day. A promi- uent business man in an interior town of the state writes: “T have just learned from a reliable source that a systematic effort at emigration of voters will take place about election time. Voters who cannot be induced to support certain candidates will be urged o accept transportation for themselves and their fam- ilies for visiting and business tours to points far enough away to preclude their presence at home on election day.” Referring to the colonization scheme, the Wahoo Era says It is an open secret that the B. & M. temporarily colonizing out-of-the-state zens on abandoned farms in the part of the state in order to vote them for Majors. It is also known, and no attempt is made to deny ft, that they have dis- tributed the men employed in bullding branch lines in the west this summer (and which are now completed) throughout the country districts in order to secure so many votes for their pet candidate. The modus operandl s to place two or three extra men on the section, and when election day comes the section boss will walk them up to the polls and they will cast their votes in the interest of thefr masters. After election the poor dupesowwill be —discharged and turned out ta geaze for the winter, 5 et SELF-CONDE i Rosewnter Proppses Investigation of His Charges A gni Majors. Grankd Islind Independent, Mr. RosewAtér has told the republican state central domuiittee that it is their duty to investigate fite cHarges against Majors, and has made to them the proposition that fhese charges should"bp. submitted to the follow. ing named Efotestant clergymen, six of whom are repliblickns, and none of whom is & populist, Hamely: Rev.

But the chafrian of the committee has sent Rosewater am answer from Mr. Majors containing an runqualified: refusal to submit to any investigation and a large amount of personal abuse against Rosewater, which the latter says he has neither the space nor in- clination to answer. Hut everybody is entitled to ask: If Mr Majors s innocent, if the charges are false, why will he nol submit to an investigation? It he can establish his inuocence he should court the chance of an investigation. His refusal is pretty much like self-condsmna- tion The 8. T. and N.

It will be seen from a study of the above ticket that the republican candidates are op- posed really, by the combined strength of tho, demccrats and populists; while the pro- hibitlonists, who are trying to spread dissat- isfaction in the ranks of the party, will no doubt draw more votes from them than either of the other parties. It is the combination few heads to toss uneasily on the pillow, though the potency of the combination will be much more noticeable in the results of the county elections than on the state ticket As was predicted early in the campaign, it still seems that the republicans wil carry nine of the congressional districts, and likel ten, with a possibility of the entire eleven. This latter is now the desideratum for which they are working, the election of the state ticket being corceded, and which all the opposing elements are trying to defeat, rly in the campaign, afier the first blare of republican trumpets had sounded the tocsin of war, it became evident from the oyster- like silence maintained by the democrats and populists that a scheme was brewing to en- compass the G. 0. P. in defeat, but what it really was did not become known till the conventions had been held, and they showed their hand by a fusion deal, followed out in nearly every county in the state without any dissension. The adherents of the prohibitionist party proclaimed from the steepletop early, that all might know where they stood, that they would put full state, congressional and county tickets in the fleld—"and elect them.” But cobody took them seriously, this claim hay- ing been made in the best of faith many times before—and invariably failing to ma. terialize. IN THE LONESOME SECOND, The real fight is in the Second district, now represented by Hon. W. L Hayes, demo. crat. This district is composed of lowa, Johnson, Muscatine, Scott, Clinton and Jac son counties, and the democracy, which has practically always carried the district, is badly split over the postoffice appointments made at the instance of Judge Hayes, the ‘man democrats claiming that in these matters, as in the appointment of Bd Hunter at Des Moines against Colonel Elboeck, a prominent German democrat and editor of the Staats-Anzeiger, they have been entirely ig- nored and left out in the cold by those whom they very largely aided in securing election This 18 strenuously denied by Hayes, and & letter has even been published purporting to be from bim, to the effect that anybody who says he made a single appointment for other reasons than those of personal fitness for the place “is a liar" and he will not allow such statements to go unpunished. These charges are the main thing that is being used against him in the campaign, aside | from his record as a representative in con. | gress. George M. Curtis, a wealthy manufacturer of Clinton, 1s Judge Hayes' principal op- pouent, being the republican nominee. None of the other candidates have made sufficient | nolse to be heard up here vet. The main cry against him is “Millionaire Curtis,” who the opposition charges “made his money by toadying to pools, trusts and combines, and I8, therefore, not m man who could represent properly the laboring men In congress.” How much effect these charges will have is dificult to estimate, though they do ol generally carry much weight. Dut this is an age of the working man, when everybody bids for his vote, promising more than the other fellw, 'and if the amutocrat v b that causes not a | party will | day and Colonel Strong himself was not in tleal service, 1s of pleasing addross, a logical and able speaker, and on his combination ekt (s making the race very close and ex- citing.

They confidently expect, however, so far as can be learned from conversation with them that Hayes and Weaver will be elected. Outside of these two districts there is it tle contest in the state campa'gn this fall and finterest therein has slum there 1s little contest, there is little interest and the republican leaders profess that their greatest fear is that the adherents of the consider it such a foregone con clusion that they will fall to go to the polls and vote, allowing the democratic-populistic combine to “steal a stay-at-home vietory. demo- SITUA W YORK. Democratic Stato Employes Doing Campaign Work on Pablie Money, NEW YORK, Oct. 28.—Sunday is always a quiet day with politiciacs and dnilness was the feature of the political headquarters in this city today. The work of correspondence was carried on as usual, but there were few visitors and no signs of activity, except at the Grant headquarters, where Mr. Grant's letter of aceeptance of the Tammany - nomination for mayor was made publc. Colonel Strong’s headquarters were closed during the evidence porters. At republican headquarters a long dispatch was received from Albany and was at once given out for publication, to the effect that the employes in the state departy ts there wero employed in preparing and distributing thousands of campaign documents in the in- terest of the democrats, The dispatch says in part: ““The campaign work which should be done by the democratic state committee has boen forced upon the state department and paid for from the state treasury. These doe ments are printed by State Printer James B Lyons and a large force of the department clerks are taken from their duties (o the state to shove in individual envelopes Hill's campaign documents,'" he very large registration this city has been the subject of much dis cussion and speculation with both patties each claiming the advantage from the addi tional votes that will prbbably be polled on election da; t the state democratic headquarters on Twenty-third street there was a general feol- ing of elation over the results of the regis- tration. ~ The leaders agree in saying that it meant the overwhelming defeat of Tam- many Hall. Francis M, Scott said that in his opinfon Mr. Grant would not get more than 100,000 votes, He believed the social Istic-labor-populist-prohibition vote would not bo over 20,000, which would leave in (he vicinity of 245,000 votes to be divided be. tweon Grant and Strong, thus allowing 45,000 plurality for Strong. This was the su hstance of a computation made by the various lead- ers early in the day. The recent arrest of several hundred men for alleged fraudulent registration, it is be- lieved, has a deterrent effect, and the large reglstration is considered a big Increase in men entitied to cast their ballots. District Attorney John R. Fellows today, however, exprossed himself as not at all surprised af the registration. He thought there was nothing extraordinary in it, and said h could see nothing substantial to be derived for_either side from it, The chief interest of the present week among ropublican centers is the appearance of ex-President Harrison on Wednesday next at Carnegie Music hall, In democratic circles the starting tomor- ow of Governor Flower on a tour through the state in the Interests of the democratic ticket is raising much interest because of the master stroke the democrats claim Chair- man Thacher has made in securing the ser- vices of the governor on so important a mis- sion. There has been a disposition on the part of (ho various organizations here to make public their allegiance to their respec- tive tickets. Today, however, the executive board of the grand lodge of the Independent Order, Sons of Benjamin, resolved not to permit the use of its name in connection with polities. This decision was arrived at @ meeting of the board today, at which reso- lutions were adopted repudiating” any at- tempt to make use of the order for political purposes. This action was taken because It was said an attempt had been made to repre- sent the order as opposed to the candid; of Senator Hill.

Charley Sherman, who got drunk Satur- day night and tried to carve several people, was arrested about 3 o'clock yesterday morn- Ing by Sergeant Sigwart on the charge of assault with intent to kill. Sherman was in the Turf saloon playing cards and lost a game and refused to pay for it. His part- ner, Harvey Scales, attempted to reason with him and the party adjourned to the sidewalk. Sherman was quarrelsome and Scales finally lefc. Jim Overton was standing by and Sherman turned toward him. Sherman had a long, open_pocketknife in his hand, and without provocation struck at him with the knife several times but did not reach the skin. One of the cuts was directly oven the heart, the knife going through all the clothing Overton got away and Sherman turned to a traveling man named Bisman, who was standing in the door, and demanded that he buy the drinks. Eisman pulled a revolver and refused. Charley Moore, a hack driver, came up just th and Sherman rushed at him with an imprecation and hit him in the face, breaking the skin over the eye. Moore knocked him down, but when somebody yelled out that Sherman had a knife he ran away. Sherman proceeded to a house of | prostitution, where he was arrested | None of the parties mentioned in Sunday | morning's paper as having been assaulted were injured save Moore, and he was not seriously hurt except to a few of his closest sup- of voters in i Generally.
