New York, New Jersey, Con necticut and Indiana for Cleveland, By Pluralities Ranging From 4,000 in Connecticut to 40,000 in New York. ■ ■ Harrison Men So Badly Scared That They Refuse to Make Wagers. How the Democrats Will Get Out an Enormous Vote in Gotham. Special to the Globe. New York; Nov. 4.— The grand pa rade of Saturday night, extending into Sunday morning, never succeeded in passing the reviewing point as one body. The mass of torch-bearing Dem ocrats was too immense, and about 1 o'clock small organizations began to drop out of the line, as the affair had to come to an end at some time or other; but that not less than 100,000 paraders turned out is certain, and in Brooklyn the demonstration was by far the great est in the history of that city. The statements as to the number in line, varying from 30,000 to 40,000, and the entirely local character of both demon strations, is shown by their simultaneous occurrence. In the Republican proces sion of the afternoon, wnich, by count, numbered 14,000 men, there were not only people from Pennsylvania, Con necticut and New Jersey, but also a large contingent from Brooklyn and from all over Long Island. The Re publican display was a parade of im ported foreigners marching under con tract, and the other a demonstration of resident citizens of New York and Brooklyn parading in their own cities respectively. There is no one who any longer seriously doubts, the result in the state of New York. The Harrison, men have stopped bettiiigidtogether. There $100,100 of Cleveland offers posted in various places ' v * -.y • WITHOUT __2__. TAKERS. „:„•. . All day Friday and Saturday there re mained a bulletin at the produce ex change of an otter to bet $10,000, which elicited no response. The closing bets of ."no to !? ( J and $10 to $8 were largely consequences of previous engagements, and what little real betting the Repub licans mustered courage to do " was at the ratio of .1,000 to §700 on the general result, and $1,000 to j'Boo on the state of New York. New Jersey; given up even by Dudley in his infamous letter, is not the subject of betting any more. Re publicans all admit that it is a dead sure Cleveland state, while on Con necticut the odds are strongly in favor of the Democrats. So far as betting is an indication of public sentiment, the election as obviously settled in favor of Cleve land and Thurmrn and all Democratic candidates in the state of New York. As to the question of plurality in this state, there are few who now place it below 30,000, while more than ever the events of the past few days, the tre mendous sensation • made by the Dudley revelation, the utter dis comlirture of the Republicans on the extradition issue, the ever growing effect of the president's rebuke to foreign interference in the Sackville case, the actions of many organizations of the Knights of Labor and other work ingmen's associations in denouncing Harrison, and many other happenings equally significant, all point to the con clusion that the plurality for Cleveland in New York will go beyond 40.000. An arrangement has been entered into regarding the conduct of the elec tion of Tuesday, which will give great comfort and confidence to the Demo crats and Independents of the United States. . The chairman of the national campaign committee, Col. Brice; Mr.* Murtha, chairman of the Demo cratic state . executive commit tee; Judge Power, .on behalf of the County Democracy and Commis sioner Croker on behalf of Tammany hall have entered into a formal agree ment placing the direction of affairs at the polling places, with reference to the national and state tickets, iv the hands of a committee of gentle men selected by all of them, which is to remain .in permanent session at the St. James hotel so long as the polls are open. This committee is empowered to instantly remedy any defects in the working of organization machinery at the polls, to remove from charge of any district any person found incompetent or unfaithful, to see that the ballots are abso lutely correct as distributed and to act with full authority upon any com plaints made during the day. This very important arrangement makes the ac tion of the party at the polls on the gen eral nominations just as much a unit as if there were no local contest. It is a free will agreement, spontaneously sug gested and gladly entered into by both of the great Democratic organizations of the metropolis. It puts an end to all • POSSIBILITY OF TRADING or other practices. -In justice to the national ticket it will be carried out vigorously in absolute good faith, if there were no higher reason, because no organization of the country and no subordinate organization of as sembly or election diatrict would dare to take the consequences that would* follow . remissness. The most important parts of this agree ment are as follows: "It is understood that the managers of the Republican party have at their disposal for use in the city oi New York upon election clay a very large sum of money. No suspi cion attaches to either of said local organizations as to their fealty to the Democratic party, and no fear is entertained that either organization would connive at any treachery to the national or state ticket. Recognizing, however, that extraordinary tempta tions are likely to be held out, that the strife of candidates for local offices is unusually great, and that extraordinary precautions are prudent, and perhaps necessary under the circumstances, the national committee has perfected arrangements for the instant detection of any treachery to the state or national tickets. Representatives of the state and national committee and of each of said local organizations will be in ses sion AT ALL TIMES. on election day at the St. James hotel and will be in telegraphic communica tion with each of the assembly districts [throughout the city. The Business Men's organization has provided repre sentatives for every pollingplacein New York, who will be in telegraphic com munication with the committee at the St. James hotel. All reports affecting either the assembly or election district man agers of either organization will bo communicated to the headquarters of the organization affected and will be immediately corrected by such lorgani zations. It is the intention of the par ties to this arrangement that all candidates for office shall be notified of the provision which has been made and that no implication of suspicion attaches to any. person or organization, but it is deemed wise that the state and national committee . and the local organizations should work harmoniously together' for the preven tion, the instant detection.' and the im mediate punishment of any candidate who shall, upon election day, prove false to his party, and each .of the local organizations is , willing .to have its good faith aud honorable conduct in the management of this election tested in the strictest manner and to be pun ished for any failure, by the loss of standing aud conference upon election day. . . V . .- -.' .."-.' ,-. .'. A THOROUGH CANVASS has just been completed of the follow ing states: Connecticut, New Jersey, Indiana and New York, with the fol lowing results: Connecticut, Democratic, from 4,500 to 5,500; New Jersey, Democratic, from 9,0* to 10,000: Indiana, Democratic from 12.000 to It*. 000: New YorK, Democratic, from 35,000 to 40,000. mSSg The Democrctic leaders in the re spective states feel satisfied that these figures are below rather than above what will be the actual recount of the election. All Republican talk about the probability of Democratic defeat in West Virginia, Virginia, Delaware, Tennessee, or any other state Demo cratic in ISB4, is mere *«■ moonshine. Every Cleveland state wili give an in creased Cleveland plurality. The na tional Democratic committee is not con fident of these figures; it is sure of them. Baffled in New York city, the Republican machine managers have di rected their Hessians into the interior of the state. Colonizing repeaters, ap peared to-day in large numbers in manufacturing towns along the Central road, particularly in Fulton and Herki- mer counties, lhey are watched by United States marshals as well as by local Democrats.' They will not be al lowed to vote, and the net result of their xepedition will, be., the useless expenditure of the Republican campaign money in traveling expenses and the wages of impotent iniquity. Col. Brice says t.iat from precautions taken by the state and local organiza tions extensive rand or corruption is as fully guarded against in the interior of the state as in New York city.YY;;Y-" GETTING THE RESULT. How the Returns Will Be Gath- Y-f-iY,. ered in the East. New Yoiik, Nov. 4.— Elaborate ar rangements have been for collecting the presidential vote election night. In New York, New Jersey and Pennsyl vania the returns will be collected by the Associated Press alone.*" In all other states the work will be. done by the Associated Press and Western Union Telegraph company acting together. In all states except Ohio the vote will be compared with the presidential vote of ISB4. In Ohio comparison will be made with the vote for governor in 1887, the complete redisricting of the state making comparison with the vote of 18S4 impracticable. The returns of New York city will be collected by O'Bourke's City Press association. No comparison can be made in the general bulletins, as many polling districts have been subdivided since 1884. But < com-; parison with the vote of 1884 will be made by assembly districts as fast as these are fully reported. . LETTING HIMSELF DOWN. Quay Ready to Cry Fraud When His Defeat Comes. , New Yokk, Nov. 4.— Chairman Quay, of the Republican national committee, has issued the following circular to Re publicans to the chairmen in the South: Information recently received by this com mittee convinces us that a conspiracy ex ists to perpetrate extensive frauds upon the ballot in different sections of the South. Under the present administration their oc curence eau not be prevented.

Nov. 4.— William R. Hearst, proprietor of . the San Francisco Ex aminer, was in the city to-day, en route to New York. Regarding ' the political outlook in California Mr. Hearst . says that the Democrats will probably cairy California at the coming election by. about 3,000 majority. He says that the Republicans count on gains from immi gration to Southern California from ihe New England states, but this is offset by Democratic immigration from Texas. He also claims from 2,000 to 3,000 Dem ocratic gain in San Francisco, prin cipally on account of the Chinese ex clusion law. :--l. / Quiet at Indianapolis. Indianapolis, Ind.. Nov. 4.— This has been a very quiet Sabbath after the general hurrah of last night, and the city slept late. Many prominent politi cians flitted in and out about ' political headquarters during the evening, but no sensations were unearthed. ' The work of the campaign is over. The rooms are cleared of mail matter; as many as 8,000 letters containing ballots and pasters having been sent out by this morning's train. At . Republican headquarters some of their several ex pensive rooms were surrendered to-day and the clerical force . reduced. Every thing is in readiness for the. eventful Tuesday and to-morrow there will be a general exodus of politicians arouud both headquarters, who' will seek their homes throughout the state to vote. . How Very Honorable. New Tome, Nov. 4.— The Republican national and state committees to-night issued a circular to the Republican leaders in each assembly district in this city, stating that reports reach the com mittee that Democratic . offers to trade national for local votes will be made to the Republican workers.; The commit tee exhorts the leaders not to accept he most tempting offers, and .warns them that if the returns show any Republican trading the officers responsible for the districts will be personally held respon sible.

In the case of?; the' Jefferson club it has" been arranged " to take out the telephone election night and use the telephone wire for the transmittal of messages. - SAINT PAUL, MINN., MONDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 5, 1888. KEEP YOUrLMONEY. Bets on Minnesota Politics - Are Not Safe to v *■'; Make. Eugene Wilson and Merriam Are Running Neck and Neck. Harrison and Morton Will Carry the State by Small Figures. The Congressional Field Is Very Much Broken ; Up. The men who make betting a busi ness, and wager for gain and not love, will do well to defer the placing of any money on Minnesota until after next Tuesday. This is a friendly tip, and those who profit by it will please call and thank the Globe next Wednesday. There are only- one or two things cer tain in the final outcome of this cam-, paign. Minnesota is no longer a suke Republican state, and by. a greatly re duced majority for Harrison and Mor ton 1 the fact will be emphasized that the farmers of the state are in favor of tariff reform. , On these two points any sporting gentleman whose -velvet een trousers contain the "needful" can wager with a certainty of winning. Sec retary Heatwole says blandly that Mer riam will be "elected by 20,000 plurality, but I would say very frankly,* if any one asked my opinion, that Mr; Heat wole, despite his position on** the Repub lican state central committee, knows nothing about it. I have some distinct recollection of Mr. Heatwole's inform ing a group of expectant reporters that Mr. McGill would be elected by 20,000 majority. This just two days before election. A parallel case to his present assertion. Mr. Heatwole is sanguine, and has an honorable desire to earn ids salary, but the citizen who gambles on his 20,000 plurality for Merriam will lose every dollar. In fact, it is not only absolutely unsafe to wager a picayune on William Merriam's election, but it is as equally unsafe to place any upon the election of Eugene Wilson. Chair man Lawrence claims .'-.',■ 10,000 plurality for Wilson, but a calm, dispas sionate survey of the V state fails to reveal a plurality in sight for any one. Gov. Hub bard's plurality in 1883 was 14,-" 000;Mr.Blaine's in 1884, 41,000, and Gov. Mc- Gill's in 1886, 2.600. Yet the other can didates on the Republican ticket in 1886 had pluralities as high as ■ 17,000. It is safe to say, then, that any candidate on ! the Democratic state ticket this year has got to change some 15,000 votes to win. . That this is possi sible no one .doubts. The spirit of tariff reform has entered every farm house .in the state. Where the school houses and churches have had a strong foothold it has made converts by the hundreds. Where superstition, preju dice and party passion have predomi : nated it has been set back. The result is, the state has been plung ed into a chaotic political condi tion, such as has never been ex perienced be fore, and out of which it is very hard for any ra tional man to say what will come. lam con vinced in my own mind, though .(after a four weeks' study of the most- solidly Republican section of the state), that in the First district, for in stance, Mr. Cleveland will receive more votes than Merriam and that through out the entire state the national Demo cratic ticket will lead the state-Demo cratic ticket; -Go where you will, even into Republican communities where : a Democratic vote has never been ' cast, and you will find Grover Cleveland's message, the St. Louis \ platform and Knute Nelson's speech. Against these three documents the -* literature fur nished by Messrs.' Heatwole and Bixbey has made very poor headway.; There is no enthusiasm for Harrison and Morton. Mr. > Merriam himself,* with a keen rec ollection of the Blame wave of 1884, cannot say that there is an overwhelm ing popular sentiment \ for \ them. - Men willy- vote v for them V because par tisanship has supplanted "'reason with a certain class.: But beyond that ■ class they cannot, "and v will not, com- J maud voters. Harrison and Morton. J may secure 20,000 plurality in . Minne sota, but it would be safer to set it at 15,000, the bulk of which will come from the Second and Third districts. Their plurality in the First district will be small; in the Fourth only fair, and in the Fifth it is a question if they, carry: it -at all. . IDE T __TE, fight. ;y.Y i Mr. Merriam's . chances . of y elec tion are very slim, and the impres sion is more than local that he is beaten, -If the Democracy of ' Ramsey and Hennepin counties do their j duty Tuesday he is defeated, but that remains to be seen." His' only hope of success lies in y that it is presiden tial ;' year "and y that somewhere . and , somehow Democrats may - be" found 1 treacherous . enough to betray - their party. The stench ' : . of his money Is abroad in - the*land, and all that it can do will be done." v Logically, he should . be defeated; politically.; his - succes?isan - open question. He will run behind his ticket in the First, Second and Third districts (that is, behind Hubbard's vote of 1883): and in the Fourth,; if Ramsey does her duty, he wilt-probably lose enormously, :; and -.. in the Fifth h.s chances seem just as : bad. It was a mistake on the part of his managers to ever let him make : a speech, appear iv public or distribute the cartoons known as his picture. All three circumstances have cost him votes. The feeling prev alent in the outside portion of the state is that if Ramsey does not cut Wilson Merriam can not hope to succeed. The disaffection from him is something as tounding when confronted in the farm ing communities. ; lean speak particu larly ot the : First ' district" . which he , JOHN L. MACDONALD. has just left, and;. where, if he holds McGill's plurality of 700, he may cou- . sider himself to : be in extraordinary luck. Eugene Wilson's canvass has' been, in many, senses, a remarkable; one. * The man's presence and his pres entation ;of the tariff question have counted in his favor at every point. - A thorough party orgahization'behind him would have made his defeat impossible. j He is not defeated yet, though; but any \ man who wagers one; sou to-day on the , success of either him or Merriam does • so in the face of chances so tremendous^ as to make the wager that of an igno- 1 ramus or fool. ...--.*; XXXX-X ••".- -•-"- '* . >- .. -'■'.-*"" CONGRESSIONAL. > * Congressman Wilson, to all apparent purposes, is re-elected.

Fourteen Men Killed Outright and Three Die of In juries. The Chamber Filled With Gas, Which Was Ignited by a Lamp. A Steamer Run Down and All on Board Thought to Be Lost. - WrLXTAMSPORT, Pa., Nov. 4.— The ; officers of the Kettle Coal Mining com pany, belonging in this city, are in re ceipt of information that a terrible ex plosion occurred at their mines, located in Clinton county, on the line of the Philadelphia & Erie railroad, last even ing. The superintendent, George : L. : Miller, : upon hearing a heavy report at the new No. 2 drift, proceeded to the spot, when he at ' once saw that a violent explosion had taken place. The • necessary arrangements were quickly made to carry the air to the face of the work and men entered the mine to learn the particulars of what had occurred. An appalling state of affairs was found inside. Of the twenty- one men who had been- working in the drift only three or four had escaped death or injury. At the end of an hour's hard work fourteen dead bodies were . recovered from the drift. Two of those who were injured subsequently died. One man was missing, and his remains were found out in the woods where they had been blown by the force of the explosion through the air shaft. The total number of killed or fatally in- . jured was found to be seventeen.: All but four of them were Hungarians or Italians, whose names are not fur nished. The .four English-speaking men are named Samuel Killinger, Pat rick Donnell, Michael Curran and J. Carliston. : The driver, named J. Far rel,-*" < -entering - the drift -when the • explosion occurred. He was thrown toward the month and escaped." His mule was killed. THE FORCE OF THE EXPLOSION was shown in the fact that' bodies were blown clear out of the mouth of the drift. Everything possible . was j done for the injured by the mine physicians. The bodies of the dead were taken charge of by an undertaker and pre pared 1 for * interment.- -The coroner • of ; the county was notified and will hold an. inquest to-morrow. The mine inspector of the district has also been summoned, but at latest reports had not arrived.; A dispatch from the superintendent this evening states that there is nothing new in reference to the disaster. They have all the help they require and are preparing for the inquest. Capt. Blythe, president, and other officers of the com-, pany will leave here to-morrow for the scene of the disaster. - Although the ac cident occurred before dark yesterday, it was not given out by the officials of the company here until to-day, they having been advised of it , late last night. It' is thought, that in making a blast . a "gas feeder" was struck, filling the chamber with gas, which, coming in contact with a naked lamp, produced the explosion. A "gas feeder" is a pocket of gas im bedded in the coal. As soon as a pick is struck into it the gas escape and if anything ignites it an explosion follows. It is generally conceded that there was good ventillation and" the mines were fully supplied with air appliances. The superintendent says the accident could not have been foreseen and that no blame attaches to anyone. ... .. NINETEEN MANGLED, Of "Whom Sixteen Are .Dead and the Others Will Die. . Lock Ha vex, Pa., Nov. 4.— There was an explosion last night in the Kettle Creek Coal Mining company's mines, thirty miles west of this city, which were but recently opened. The explo sion occurred in a new drift in which twenty-one persons were at work. y As soon as possible after the explosion the mine was entered and fifteen bodies were carried out and four others, badly injured, were found, one of whom has since died, and the others are likely to die. The cause of the explosion is un known, but it is supposed to have been the striking of a fissure or pocket of gas. This afternoon the disfigured and naked body, of a miner was . found fifty feet from the mouth of the air shaft, through which it had been blown. The names of the dead so far as learned are : Samuel ; Killinger, . Park - Donnelly, Michael Curran and three Carlston brothers. * HOW IT OCCURRED./ An Italian Said to Have Been Ex perimenting. -, Williamsport, Pa., Nov. 4. Many rumors are going the rounds, and among them is one that the direct cause of the explosion was the i inexperienced use of dynamite in the mines. In con versation . with one of the drivers who escaped it was learned that an Italian had - gotten "y 100 '/sticks * of \4. the deadly stuff from the store keeper in the ; morning and ;-. had also gotten 100 caps, and had ; returned after a fuse, but, as there were I none in stock, it is supposed that he had tried to set it off in some other way, thus - caus ing. the "■■ explosion. r In ■• a blacksmith shop near the scene of the disaster laid the charred and unrecognizable remains of August Pierson, Who was ' blown out through y the air : shaft fifty feet in the air, and some of his clothes can be seen hanging to a limb ;of ' a large ; tree near by.

John Farrell, a mule driver, tells his; story: .."I was behind pushing the car and in sticking, up my head, saw a flash. I immediately dropped to the ground, moving quickly as possible ti towards _"• the mouth of the drift and escaped uninjured. - My. mule and a Sweoe ■ miner along side of the 'animal were killed instantly.

Beauty in Distress at Monticello, ■-• 111. - - Godfket, 111., Nov. 4.— The Monti cello Ladies' seminary caught fire at 1 o'clock this morning, and by daylight was destroyed. . The fire originated in a frame building adjoining the main edi fice, used as a kitchen and seryauts' quarters, who aroused the inmates *of the main building. Miss Haskell ordered the pupils to dress and secure what effects they could and then leave the house. There was no panic, and pupils and teachers escaped without in-* lury. : Some were frightened, an i neg- leeted to clothe themselves sufficiently for comfort. The villagers hastened to the scene, and every endeavor was made to confine the fire to the frame addition, but the cornice soon caught fire, the flames spread to the roof, and there being no fire apparatus at hand, the fight was • given up and attention paid to saving life and property. Two pianos and tnree organs were saved. Nineteen pianos and a vast amount of property, accumulated in the half century the school was in operation, were .burned. The pupils and teachers remained about the premises.' 'Beauty in distress .was seen on every hand. Some . were la menting their losses, others were searching for their effects, which were • scattered _ about in y dire confusion and still others wrapped themselves in bedspreads for warmth and surveyed the scene, almost stupefied at the calam ity. Two of the trustees, E. P. Wade and J. B.Tsett, were present and aided Miss Haskell in restoring order and arranging for the comfort of the- pupils. .■- The cottage was un harmed, and there many found shel ter and others were taken to neighboring dwellings. ; Miss Haskell expects to be able to get all the pupils started home by to-morrow night. The seminary loss on building and contents, is over $150, --000; insurance, : The loss of pupils and teachers in clothing, jewelry and effects is - heavy, although • nearly all saved something. -* No-plans for v con tinuing the school are yet made, y _■'-: : THREE KILLED OUTRIGHT.

"Brass Kettle* Washburn Seeks the Toga of a Uni ted States Senator. Several Hennepin Represent atives Will Support Him if Elected. The Pillsburys, Fletcher and . Langdon Ready to Knife .Him. Reports From Faribault Indi cate a Peculiar State of Things. Beneath the outward and closely con tested political battle now waging in Minneapolis is a deep, secret and even more oitter fight, like a wheel within a wheel. The fight is at present all within the ranks of the Republican party, though its outskirts fringe the Democratic party and may soon draw that organization bodily into, the con test; indeed, it is only a matter of time until the Democrats come into it, if not as an active and dominant power, at least as holding the balance, and controlling the result. The fight is over United States senatorship and is based on the belief that the Republicans, though their strength will be largely dimin ished, will still control the legislature. By a very SKILLFUL PIECE OF MANIPULATION the name of William D. Washburn has been advanced as belonging to a strong candidate without any appearance of it having.been done even with his consent, to say nothing of his instigation. A paper lost in - , the midst of Southern Minnesota, and which it is unnecessary to name, has been employed to take the lead. It was. the same paper which, six months ago, advanced Washburn's* name for the Republican presidential candidacy, but which failed to meet a responsive echo, except when the echo was started by y the ? chiuk of gold, and was as quickly dropped. '.-■ But, profiting by the experience of that time, the sen atorial boom has been -planted in differ ent soil and watered in an entirely dif ferent way. For five^years. Washburn has . luxuriated . in; private ! life, dur ing which time his personal business, affairs have .'.•'"■. -: : y . .:- ■ GROWN AND PROSEERED . exceedingly, and he now feels prepared to assume bis place among - the pluto crats of the "national senate with a full satisfaction of his eligibility, on -tho point of wealth. His candidacy is by. no means popular at home, and though: the choice for senator o. a candidate for the legislature is usually made the test, not a Republican candidate in Hen nepin county would dare make a can vass on the platform of favoring Wash burn for senator. Washburn knows this, " and, though it is a fact that sev eral Republican candidates in Hen nepin county are pledged to him, they keep it a deep secret, while he ; is working from the ; far corners of the state. It is stated on good authority that Washburn's hopes are not based on a majority of the Rep ublican members ot the legislature. It is generally believed that the scramble for this office .will be such that no crystallization can be accomplished toward a caucus nomination. , The fight will be thrown INTO OPEN SESSION, and then the Democratic strength, large- ly augmented, would oe me power, it is this strength for which Washburn is now angling in his own way. according to all reports. But the Washburn can didacy, once it comes into the field, will attract the bitterest opposition at home. The Pillsburys, Fletcher and Langdon would bury the ■ hatchet and make com mon . cause to down him, and it is not unlikely that one of their own number! would be advanced as the opposing champion. From the nature of things, this would be either C. A. Pillsbury or R. B. Langdon, with the chances in favor of the former. There, is a feeling here that a Minneapolis man cannot succeed Sabin, and when it is calculated that Washburn may be the man, the feeling is intensified. \ The main work ings of the deal are now slowly coming out, and there will be developments in a month that will be worth. an open book to the knowing ones. y-.;.y: Whose Boodle Is It ? Special to the Globe. . . ■*:. . Faribault,* Minn., Nov. 4.— Word has gone out among the Republicans here to save the representatives at all hazards, and that money was no object. Letters have been, received here from Northfield that boodle had been put in there and" the. parties named who are handling it. As near as can be learned the Republican representatives '- in this county are to support Washburn. There is no doubt but that somebody's boodle is being used freely throughout the county. Democratic prospects here for the ticket are' good, and boodle can hardly save the Republicans. — ; — «_■, — — — ■ • y A Crack at Bookmakers.
