GOOD DEM00EATI0 PROSPECTS

sota an«l Nebraska Alone Surely Ite
publ cans.
New Tore, Nov. 5.—The csfl mates made
by careful aud nnprsjudlcial observers of
the political situation all Indicate that thero
is little doubt but that the Democratic State
ticket will be elected. It is not a foregone
conclusion by any means and some Republi
cans arc very hopeful and the Democrats
themselves will be content with ft?,000 or
30,000 majority, Instead ot the 80,000 they
claimed a week ago. Maynard, Demo
cratic candidate for Secretary of State,
will probably run behind his ticket, owing
lo the opposition of Catholics and liquor
men. Still he will get a largo temperance
vote. In bis own county, Delaware, where
usually 1,200 majority goes to the Republican
candidate, Maynard will probably get 9,000
majority, wtitle tho rest of tho Democratic
ticket will be beaten. It is quite possible
that Maynard will be beaten, but he will
probably squeeze Id. The State Senate will
probably stand 20 to 12, In favor of the
Republicans, while the Assembly will prob
ably be 71 Democrats to 54 Republicans.
Here la this city about 160,000
will be cut and
votes
Democrat« will have 45,000 or 50,000
majority on the State ticket. As for the
local ticket no one can tell how that will
trun out, for there Is going to be no end of
cutting. Reilly, Democratic nominee for
Reulster, will probably bedected ov« r Hess,
Republican, and O'Brien, Independent. Ol
the seven Senators to be elected the Demo
crats will get five and possibly six. Of the
Assemblytneu elected tbe Democrats will
have 24 probably and the Republicans
eight. There Is more interest over tho elec
tlon of Mayor in Brooklyn than any other
local election of the ticket. Tonight the
betting is even, with both sides very confi
dent ol success.

BUTLXtt'8 CHANC1S8.
Boston, Mbps., Nov. A. —Excitement here
is at ievt-r heat over to-morrow's election.
The betting which ranged lust week from
|100 to 550 against Butler to f 100 to $80
against him is now even. The Robinson
men are very much excited over the defec
tion of the Herald , which has been very
bitter against Butler all through the cam
paign, but came out with a page of Butler
matter ou .Saturday and a page and a half
jesterday. One member oi tbe Republican
State Com mi t tee said to-day t hat the Herald's
course would cost tbe party fully 2,000 votes
The canvasses printed by the Herald , Star
aud Globe , given In detail by towns, while
they differ considerably os to details
and figures, all point to the elec
tion ol Butler by from 7,000 to 14,000 ma
jority. The gains of Butler aie reported
trom unexpected quarters. The Globe's fig
ures,which la6t year came within 4,000 votes
lor both candidates, are: Butler,149,600 and
Robinson, 137,000. Chairman Lodge claims
Robinson will have 20,000 plurality. Gen
eral Butler said this morning: I shall either
be elected by an overwhelming majority
Dv«rwhiiu.i.i^ uexvut." wnno the enor
mous registration Is admitted in Butler's
la vor it is claimed by the Republicans that
tbe roserves will more than offset It. The
vote will bo the largest ever cast In the
State. Local Republican leaders now admit
that 200 New York roughs are to be brought
to this city by Secretary Chandler, aud
there are grave fears of riots In some sec
tions.

NEW JERSEY ALL BIGHT.
Trenton, Nov. 5.— Abbett's election to
morrow is positively assured, tho only ques
tion being the majority. The lowest esti
mate gives him 3,5(K) and the highest about
10,000 or 12,IKK). It is believed that he will
lose somewhat in Hudson and Middlesex,
but ho will galu in Essex and will make
largo inroads in South Jersey. Mr. Abbott
is very popular iu the lower counties, and
ahead oi his ticket in that section.
The Legislature ia assure 1 to the Demo
crats by a lair majority on joint ballot. The
majority In the House will be about 12. The
Seuate Is in doubt, but If tho Democrats
secure Senators, hs they expect to do, from
Bergen, Cumberland, Hudson and Ocean,
they will have the Senate os well as the
House.

PENNSYLVANIA PROSPECTS.
Philadelphia, Nov. 5.— The result here
will be close. Chairman Hensel, of the
Democratic Slate Committee, was iu the
best oi spirits to-night. Iu response to tbe
question as to what estimates he possesses o I
the vote in the several counties to-morrow,
he said: "it is impossible to say anything
about majorities, tho vote will be so small.
All the indications are In our favor. We
have a much better organization than the
Republicans, and we have tbe advantage In
many other ways. I think we are golug to
win to-morrow; everything Is encouraging
aud the situation is satisfactory,"
Chuirmau Cooper, of the Republican
State Committe, said: "We have made a
thorough canvass of ihe 8tate and are satis
fied that we have done more to insure the
election ot our ticket than our oppouents
have dreamed of. A careful canvass of
PhiladelphU gives us about from 12,000 to
14,000 majority tor the State ticket.
MARTLAND WILL EL EOT »'LANE.
Baltimore, Nov. Ö. —There Is no doubt
that the Democrats will carry the State.
The Republicans expect to cut McLane'a ma

t»aud aud poouibly elec ■ Holton Governor by
a majority ot about 1,U00 or 1,500. Tbe
Democrats aud the unprejudiced, however,
do uot hesitate to express it as their opinion
that McLaue will carry Maryland by a ma
jority ol 8,000 or 10,000. Six thousand of
this majority tho city Is expected to give,
while the counties will make up the re
mainder. Iu addition to this the Legislo
iil be Democratic on Joint ballot by

10 or 12 majority.

Richmond, Nov. 5.—The canvass in this
Statu has beeu the most notable known in
its his'ory. Both 6i<«cs claim to be confident
of success, but it is apparent that tbe lead
are nervous aud restless as the day of
trial approaches. Mahone claims that he
will have both branches of the Legislature.
His majority iu the House of Delegates, he
estimates, will not be less than 15 and In
the Senate three majority on joint ballot.
Many of his confidential leaders claim much
less and say they will be satisfied with a
moderate majority in each brOkitih of the

[Special correspondence of the Uasette. ]
Newark, Del., Nov. 5.—After a long
spell ot wet, damp weather we are again
enjoying a pure, clear, bright atmosphere,
with as pleasant autumn weather as anyone
could desire.
One of the events of this week is the wed
ding that is to come oif among the upper
crust ol society. It Is the ona thing that is
much talked of by th* young people of our
town, and many of them,, no doubt,
would like to have the samn operation
performed for themselves. Well, It always
Las been done that way and, therefore, there
is no use saying anything against it, for we
may expect It to continue to the end. "We
know how It is ourselves," having been
through that mill.
There has been much labor spent on the
depot roed within the last two month», and
not all without a good effect. If that beast
of burthen —the tax-payer- could only stand
It, it would have been well bad its whole
length bee« served alike,then we would have
a really good-road. But the day ta cot far
distant when that road will cease to be used
to get to the railroad depot, for on the com
pletion of the B. & P. railroad, which Is pro
gressing favorably, the travelling public
will take the train In our town, and unless
the Pennsylvania takes time by the forelock
and gives us a good pasaenger and freight
depot on the eligible lot which they own
right in the business centre of the town,and
give us an engine and train similar to the
one now used between Clayton and
Smyrna, they will wake up some
fine morning to find that they
have lost the local traffic of our town. Their
location for doing the business of the town
is iar superior to any that the B. <fe P. can
possibly get.
Our sidewalks, through the efforts of our
worthy Supervisor Sanders, are being put in
a first class condition. Some of our growl
are disposed to find fault with his ad
ministration of this matter, but if they will
only be quiet, and he lives long enough,
tbos« who have a long lease on life may yet
fee all the sidewalks of our town In "A No.
1" condition, equal to those of any town on
this Peninsula. When we get Choate street
and the new road opened from Chappel
street to the creek road there will bo still
more work for our venerable street overeecr.
By the way, talking of the opening of
Choate street, Captain Smith says It never
shall be opened, that the wants of the public
do not require it, and that he has promised
to canvass the town prior to the meettug ot
the next term of court to get signatures to
remonstrate against Its opening. Why
should the convenience of the public be con
sidered, when it would be detrimental, in a
financial point of view, to tho great corpo
ration which he represents? What are the
interests of the public when compared to the
Interests of a great foreign corporation? The
Captain has a wonderful magnetic Influence
ovtr tho inhabitants of our towu. In his
la6t effort in the line of a petition to present
to the Legislature, he said ho got ninety
nine-one hundredths of the people of the
town to sign it. Wonder if he will be
equally successful in this, the second effort ?
It is reported In town that Mr. Dean has
beeu granted a new commission to go on
and appraise the laud to be occupied by the
B. & P. railroad. If so, what standing will
the Captain's company bavo in Coart op
porinr vLu ui* ,inn #F CJ»-«*ortiwj t ir«hv
communion that pretended to assess the
value of Dean's laud was Illegal then tbc\
have no claim on the land through which
Choate street is fo bo opeued, and it looks
as if the railroad company were trespassers
on Dean's laud. If 60 , are they not in a
lather awkward situation? The company
have, from what I hear said, been rather
overbearing ou this gentleman. If so, and
he is now on top, Irora what I know of him
there Is likely to be some fun about the
matter before long, an 1 it will be more
likely to stop for a longer period tho opera
tions of that.company than did the Sheriff
when he seized the things belonging to Con
tractor Gray.
Why is It that when auy man doing busi
in our town and any one gets a crotchet
in his head that the party is going to "abs
quatulate," and someone is going to be left
out In the cold, they all go for the indi
vidual pell null, like a flock of sheep goiuj
through a hole in a hedge! And the poor devil,
if has any scare in him, is ready to leave be
tween two days. But Contractor Gray
don't seem to scare worth a cent. It is said
some of the first movers in the matter are
heartily ashamed of their own proceedings.
Gray has the reputation of being an honor
able man, but any stranger coming am<mg
us must not only be honorable, but copper
bottomed and copper-fastened wltb
greenbacks or gold. If he is not,
ho must go, for this is no place for
any poor mao to come to do business. Our
town is already overrun with poor people
and our prayer is for millionaires. Why
don't they come, so that we can have some
body to go for that is worth a trifle more
than the ammunition spent in gunning for
them?
The improvements of our town are still
on the increase and the talk is of even more
for the next season than we have had in the
past.
The question of a new school has entirely
died out, as it was plainly visible from the
eff< rte made by the rich tax payers of the
district at its last meeting that they could
send their children to the academy and col
lege, while for the poor men's children the
present school houses of the districts ar*»
good enough. This was made so evident
that the School Commissioners have i ever
since said new school houses once, and from
the expressions given at the time they never
will.
Our farmers are well on with the gather
ing of the corn crop, which is pronounced a
good one, as have been all the crops of the
season.
The Pomona Grange of New Castle county
are going to hold their next regular meeting
in our town on Thursday, December 6.
There will be a public meeting to be ad
dressed by Mortimer Whitehead, of New
Jersey, at 2 o'clock p. m. that day, when
very farmer of the county is invited to be
present and bear one of the most pleasant
and intelligent talkers on that subject lo the
entire organisation. It is expected that
there will be a very full meeting.

Hearing of J. Alfred ('olllni, Before Re
quire O'Nelli, on a Charge of Disorderly
Conduct Preferred bj Officer CoUioart.
Long before 7 o'clock last evening, th»
boar set for the hearing of the case of poKco
officer Patrick Catheart against •/. Alfred
Collins, mall agent of the Every Evening
before 'Squire O'Neill, a large crowd had
gathered before the 'Squires office and hr
the .time the witnesses in the case had made
ihelr appearance the small room waa eo
crowded that even the Chief with his com
manding presence bad hard work In effect
entrauce.
Officer Catheart, after giving the 'Squire
the names of two wituesses he wished, waa
»worn and testified as follows : I was stand
ing on the corner of Fifth and Market streeU
on Saturday afternoon last, a little past 4
o'clock, talking to some friends, after which
Ï started up Market street and had

boy came running up to me and said a boy
bad stolen his papers and asked me to get
th m lor him. I retraced my steps and at
tho corner the boy pointed out the fellow
who had taken his pape s In company
with the two boys I then went into »he press
room of tho Every Evening and asked of
Collins which of the two boys had
bought the papers—Collins said "both
Iff them." Dy.»u, what business
Is It ol yours/' aud then accused me of
«wearing, I told him I didn't, when he called
me a liar and said, ' G t out ol here, you
d— loafer," and thea came around to the
|*ate and took hohl oi my shoulder, while
two men grabbed me a««d pulled me back
behind the couuter. The loreman then
came down and 6&id I could not arrest Col
lins without a warrrnt, so I went and got
one aud went back. Alter I had read tho
warrant I laid my hand on his arm and told
him to come along. He said let go my arm,
I can walk, aud just as I started out tho
door ho hauled oil to strike me, when Mr.
>'oung said to him, "dou't do that Collins."
The officer stated that he had testified to all,
when Collins asked him, "Did you hear a
disturbance in the press-room before you
came down?" To which Catheart answered
"No." When asked if he was instructed to
settle all quarrels between newsboys, the
« fficer tried to evade an answer and 'finally
said "It is my business to preserve order,
and I believe il part of my duty to preserve
order, aud am so Instructed by the chief."
The officer also testified to tho fact that Col
lins had ordered him out of tho press room,
but said that he was there iu the discharge
of his duty.
The two wituesses for the prosecution were
called, but their testimony was by no means
strong in deleuse of the officer's actions.
For the defense John M. Whitlord, busi
ness manager of tho Every Evening was
first called and stated that he did uot see
any of the first part of the muss aud only
saw the officer when he returned with the
warrant. "Would havo seen Collins draw
back to strike Catheart had he done sobald

came down in the press room and said,
"Why ln hed dou't vou eive this boy hl«
papers." Collins said, "are they your boys"
Catheart said, "no, hut I
here to see
justice done these boys," after some further
wrangling Catheart came behind the screen
to arrest Coillm», but did not have a war
rant. When told to go out Catheart said he
"would n >t until he wa* ready/*
Hairy Price testified substantially tho
same, and several witnesses who were called

In the press-room was, "Wbv in hell don't
you give these boys their papers !" Testi
mony was also offered to tbo effect that
Catheart said to Collins, "I'll seule yôu be
fore your hair turns white," and thou went
out, but came back again, ami Hading tho
screen door open, grabbed Collins by the
lappel ot tho tout, as if to pull him out of the
office, but whs told that he could net with
out first getting a warraut.
R Harry Young, foreman of the compos
ing-room, testified that he heard some loud
talk and arrived in the press room just es
Catheart came through the email screen
door and la d hold of Collins as II to arrest
him. The witness stated that he told Cath
eart that he would have to get a warrant
before he could make the arrest, when the
officer immediately let go his hold and went
for a warrant. When Catheart came back
Collins was still in the press-room, and the
officer walked up to him aud said:
along, I have the warrant,
the same time taking hold of Col
lins. I said: "Not so faßt, come
to the business department and read tbe
warrant." The officer was in such a hurry
that it was with difficulty that he at last
concluded the readii g, when he again took
hold of Collins, who insisted on the officer
releasing bis bold, which he finally did and
they started toward this office.
Catheart asked the wituess if Collins hod
not mode a movement as if to hit him when
they started out ot the building, to which
the witness answered emphatically
"No." This denial of the truth of the
officer's statement produced a smile among
the audience, aud then to recover, as It were,
his lost ground, the officer asked the wlu
ness if Collins had not threatened to
"lick" him when he met him without his
uniform. The witness was unable to say
what Coli ns hod said, but remembered that
Catheart had used taunting remarks to the
prisoner all tbe way trom the Every Evening
office to the 'Squire's office, and had ouce
stated that he could lick Colli us auy day,
and was willing to take off his star and coat
right where they were and Uuht it out. This
produced another audible smile at the ex
pem>e of the valiaut officer, who rested his
body gracefully upon the table in the
'Squire's office and smiled benignantly upon
each witness as they testified. The testimony
varying but little, the Cnief, who sat near
Catheart, said: "They have been well
posted," and then remained silent through
out the remainder of the
Before all the witnesses for the defence
had been heard the 'Squire dismissed the
case, saying, as a sort ot charge: "If Cath
eart bod gone to the office as.a private citi
zen to adjust a quarrel betweeu two boys,
he had a perfect right to receive treatment
os civil as that accorded a private citizen;
his errand was praiseworthy, but it appears
to mo that both meu were a little fast.
Although Catheart says he did uot say,
"Why iu hell don't you give these boys
their papers." Several witnesses foi the de
fense swear that ho did. They are both to
blame. Had either used a few soft words
this trouble would not have occurred, and I
consider one as bad as th • other.
