TUESDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 8, 1892.
CLOSE OF THE CAMPAIGN.
Review of the Field on the
Eve of Election.
The Democrats May Possibly
Carry California.
Betting Is 2 to 1 That Cleveland Car
ries New York.
On the General Result the Odds Are
Slightly in Favor of Harrison.
Bright Democratic Prospects
ln the Northwest.
Chairman Last of the Democratic
county central committee received the
following telegram yeßterday afternoon,
which explains itself:
San Francisco, Nov. 7.
C. F. A. La«t, Chairman, etc.:
Cleveland's strength is hourly increas
ing, with the probability of a large ma
jority in this city. A strong effort all
over will likely result in carrying the
state. (Signed) Max Poppkb.
THREE PARTIES CLAIM VICTORY.
The Associated Presß sizes up the
situation as follows:
San Fbancisco, Nov. 7. —The campaign
in California closed with the three prin
cipal state committees claiming victory
tomorrow, though the Democratic claims
are made with certain qualifications.
Max Popper, chairman of the Democrat
ic committee, says if 20,000 votes arc
polled for Weaver, the state will go for
Cleveland, and from information in his
possession, he is inclined to the belief
that the Populist vote will be large
enough to secure a Democratic victory.
The Populist committee claims that
Weaver will poll over 50,000 votes, and
carry the state by a small plurality.
BETTING IN NEW YORK.
Odds Favor Cleveland In the State and
Harrison ou Oeutral Result.
By the Associated Press.
New York, Nov. 7.—Bettidg on the
general result of the presidential elec
tion at the Hoffman house tonight
showed a change of odds in Harrison's
favor. Two to one continued to be of
ferred on the chances of Cleveland's vic
tory in the state. Tbe corridors and
cafe of the hotel appeared to be
overrun with Harrison men, and
Harrison money on the general reeyilt
went begging. Michael F. Dwyer's
commission! r, Joe Vending, created a
sensation by refusing even money bets
on tbe general result, and offering $900
to $1000 Harrison money. On that
basis his money was eagerly taken up in
several quarters, but be kept on offer
ing it in almost any amount.
AT NATIONAL HEADQUARTERS.
Democrats and Republicans Alike San-
gulne of Success.
New York, Nov. 7.—The weather
prospects for tomorrow are not alluring.
According to the weather bureau a
heavy storm is now in progress in the
lake region, and this evening there is
here a cold, drizzling rain, probably the
advance guard of the same storm to
morrow. It will extend from Virginia
northward over the middle Atlantic and
New England states, and while it may
clear oil" befoie night, the weather bureau
says it is not probable. All over the
rest of the country it will be cold and
clear, according to present indications.
The arrangements are all complete for
the election in this city tomorrow. On
behalf of the federal authorities a force
of supervisors and deputy United Slates
marshals will watch the proceedings at
the polls, keep peace and watch for al
leged proposed frauds. There will be
0000 or 701)0 supervisors and deputies.
Sheriff Gorman is also ready to put a lot
of men in every election district to watch
tbe marshals, and the police bsve re
ceived instructions to watch them all.
It is therefore likely that the presence
of so much force will deter all parties
from any attempted frauds. It is the
general opinion of the city authorities
that any election stories of expected
trouble will amount to as much as they
did in former years—that is much talk
and very litt'.e trouble.
Judge BRrret aaid today that from the
opening to the closing of the polls to
morrow the judges of the supreme
court will attend in turn, two or three
at a time, in their chambers at the
county court house, as has been the
custom in pieceding years. This will
greatly aid the people who may be ar
arrested illegally.
Information was received at the
United States marshal's office today,
that a body of 300 colonizers, whose
destination is Coney Island; had been
shipped from Pittsburg and other parts
of Allegheny county.
Chairman 1 rackett of tbe Republican
state committee was seen by an Associ
ated Press reporter this afternoon with
regard to a dispatch sent out by Lieu
tenant-Governor Sheeban, alleging that
the Republican state committee had
sent paster ballots to the Republicans
up the state, beaded by Wm. Steinway
and Richard Croker, Democratic
electors, and followed by the
names of the Republican electors.
Hackett said the statement was un
qualifiedly false, but added that it was
exactly what the Democrats had done.
He had a sample paster from up state
which had been mailed by the Demo
crats to Republicans. It waß headed by
Henry W. Sage and Jesse Seligman, Re
publican electors, and the names of 30
Democratic electors followed. He un
derstood the Democrats had been spread
ing these right and left among the Re
publicans throughout tbe state.
Chairman Harrity of the national
Democratic committee says from infor
mation received from the west this
morning, he is absolutely certain of the
election of Cleveland. He says he will
get 244 votes, and Harrison 166.
The Mail and Express says theßepub-
Means expect to carry 268 electoral votes
and concede 104 to the Democrats.
This is on the basis of putting the six
votes of West Virginia in the doubtful
column ; also the three of Delaware and
giving Weaver Nevada's three votes.
This gives Harrison 104 plurality in the
electoral college, and granting him
West Virginia he would have a
majority of 110 over all. It says
the Republicans cannot, in view of this,
figure out defeat for Harrison under any
combination. Giving Cleveland all the
statea which it is believed he will carry,
together with New York, Indiana and
Connecticut, and he will still be short
of the necessary number to elect. Har
rison may loobo Illinois, Wisconsin,
Kansas and Missouri and yet win. He
might lose Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho,
Maine, Montana, New Hampshire,
North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island,
South Dakota, Vermont, Washington
and Wyoming and win.
At the Republican committee room
late thia evening, Chairman Hackett
was confident that New York state was
all right. He said that on Friday laßt
he expressed the opinion that the Re
publicans would come down to Harlem
bridge with 90,000 majority. He iB even
more confident now. He did not think
the Democrats in New York, Kings,
Queens and Richmond would be able to
get a greater majority than in 1888, and
thought Harrison's majority in the state
would be larger than that year.
At Democratic headquarters the an
nouncement was made that there had
been an increase in registration in New
York, Kings, Queens and Richmond
counties which should give no less than
90,000 majority. He does not think the
Republicans will meet thia with more
than 60,000 from the rural districts,
therefore they expect 30,000 plurality
for Cleveland in the state.
Chairman Harrity claims New York,
Indiana, New Jersey, Connecticut, Wis
consin, six electors from Michigan, and
a fair probability of Colorado, Illinois
and lowa.
Hon.,i. S. Clarkson tonight said all
doubts of Haarison's election are gone.
Last week he classed New York, Con
necticut, Indiana, Nevada, West Vir
gini* and Delaware as doubtful, but to
day took Indiana and Connecticut out
of the doubtful column, which gives
Harrison 232 electoral votes, and elects
him without New York.
IN THE WEST AND NORTHWEST.
The Outlook for the Democracy Is Very
Encouraging.
Chicago, Nov. 7. —The close of the
campaign finds both political parties
confident in the northwest. The Demo
crats for the most part feel that it is as
sured they will elect the governor in
Illinois, and there are many who even
expect that the electoral vote of the state
will be cast for Cleveland. The Repub
licans laugh at this, and the state com
mittee appears to be quite confident oi
a Republican victory all along the line
in Illinois. From branch Democratic
national headbuarters hers telegrams
weie Bent today to all tho local commit
tees in the northwest assuring them
that a careful poll left no room for doubt
of Cleveland's success in Illinois and
Wisconsin.
This afternoon Chairman Cable of the
western headquarters gave to a repre
sentative of the Associated Press the
following statement of the situation in
the northwest:
"In Illinois the Democratic organiza
tion was never in better condition. From
all parts of tiie state I have received let
ters showing that the Democrats are
enthused with the prospects. From a
careful examination of polls received
from the state. I believe the two parties
will come to Chicago very nearly even,
and that the majority here will be over
4000, which will give the state to Cleve
land and Altgeld by a handsome plural
ity.
"I just received a dispatch from
Chairman Campau, of the Michigan
Democratic committee, saying the
Democracy will have eight electos-at- r
large, a majority of the congressmen
and a Democratic legislature.
"A dispatch just received from the
chairman of the South Dakota Demo
cratic etate committee gives me the
assurance that the Weaver electors will
have a plurality, carrying out the pol
icy of the state committee in Dakota,
supporting the Weaver electors.
"Chairman Wall of the Wisconsin
state committee telephones me that he
has no reason to change the estimate
made public last Saturday, that tbe
Democrats will have a majority of 13,
--000 outside of Milwaukee.
"In lowa our friends have made a
good fight, and predict that they will
carry tbe state. I feel that the present
Republican admission that lowa may
fairly be counted as a doubtful state as
much of a victory as I can claim for the
party in a sta'e always so overwhelm
ingly Republican."
Hon. Wm. J. Campbell, the Illinois
member of the Republican national
committee, said to t he Associated Press,
that he believed Illinois would give a
majority for the Harrison electors
larger than four years ago, and that
Governor Filer would be triumphantly
re-elected.
Campbell stated that his information
from Wisconsin waß of an assuring
character, and he felt sanguine of a ma
jority for Harrison and tbe election of
Spooner for governor by a plurality of
several thousand. He did not regard
lowa as any more in doubt than Ohio
or Pennsylvania. Regarding the other
western states he said :
"I know that the members of the
national committee feel that the situa
tion haH steadily improved for a fort
night, and that the Republican leaders
are sanguine of success everywhere, ex
cept in Nevada. The loss of a portion
of the electors of Minnesota is possible,
but by no means probable. My advices
lead me to believe that while the vote
may be cloße in Indiana, tbe chances
are decidedly favorable to the Re
publicans."
IN INDIANA.
No Change in the Situation—The Result
Involved in Doubt.
Indianapolis, Intl., Nov. 7 —There is
practically no change in the situation in
Indiana. The result is still involved in
doubt, and both parties are claiming the
triumph of their electoral ticket and
state officers by a good round
plurality. The People's party chairman
places the Populist vote in the state at
49,600. Tbe Populists claim 16 mem
bers of tbe legislature; that they

By the Associated Press ]
New Orleans, Nov. 7.—The effects of
the strike were more apparent thia
morning. Few drays were on the
streets; small spring wagons were in
general use. No street cars were run
nine. The city was remarkably quiet,
very little business being done. At 7
a. m. the printers struck, and the out
look for the morning papers is not very
bright, though they will try to get out
editions tomorrow. The Daily Stateß,
being a non-union office, is not aff-jcted,
and published as usual this afternoon.
The decision of the printers to join
the strike braced up the other wavering
organizations, and the result is that all
the unions which signed the call for a
general strike are now out, except the
cotton labortrs. Thsse have been al
lowed to remain at work, notwithstand
ing that they are an important factor in
the situation, in order not to arouse the
opposition of the powerful cotton ex
change. It is understood, however,
that the men art ready to quit when
ever the word is given.
Not a street car is running. No work
is being done, and the only sign of
activity is in the wholesale grocery dis
trict, against which the Btrike is chit fly
directed. The new men there are wil
ling to remain at work till violence is so
general as to make it unsafe. The
grocers say, if necessary, they will close
30 to 90 days.
All the papers are closed by the
strike of the printers, except the Daily
States, which is heavily guarded against
a reported attempt to prevent it from
coming out.
The proposition made through the
governor last night to arbitrate the
question of hours and wages, but to
let the question of unionism alone, has
not bsen replied to by the labor side,
but it iB hardly thought it will be ac
cepted, as unionism is made the rallying
cry for the labor bodies. The merchants
say they will not recede further.
The militia are ready to come out at
short notice. There has been very little
violence so fer and nothing has oc
curred to warrant the ordering out of
the troops to the assistance of the
police.
The mayor this afternoon issued a
proclamation warning al) citizens of his
intention to enforce the law, and de
claring that any breaches of the peace
will be followed by arrest and imprison
ment.
New Orleans, La,, Nov. 7.—Governor
Foster has the militia in readiness for
immediate action, but the belief is well
grounded that no steps will be taken
until Wednesday, as any serious trouble
before would not only complicate the
election here but in other sections. The
idlensss of such a large body of negroes
and the desperation ensuing upon the
loss of earnings is feared, and the
Democracy will have a hard time to
maintain its supremacy in conse
quence, as the crowds of
strikers and the absence of
street cars will serve to keep many of
the better element away from the polls.
In the meantime the governor is using
every means to bring about an amicable
settlement. Having procured conces
sions from the merchants, the governor
referred the matter to the unions and
they took the matter under advisement
and promised to give an answer by noon
today. Up to tonight, however, nothing
had been heard from them.
The merchants carried on business to
day as well as they could and are de
termined to stand firm. They have
received promises of support from other
organizations, and it is said the execu
tive committee has received a letter
from Governor Warmouth, the Republi
can leader in the state, and a large
sugar planter, saying the planters de
sired the merchants to stand firm, as
victory for the unions would mean the
organization of the negroes throughout
the south. The supremacy of the blacks
is a constant menace to business and
the convertion of the producing planta
tions into grazing lands. Some of the
largest planters of the state were in the
city today, and said the strike means bo
much to them that they are willing to
answer the first call for men or money
by the merchants, As soon as the
election is ovei the real battle will be
gin, and it is believed the city authori
ties will throw off a good deal of
lethargy charged against them.
Governor Foster bas received the
opinion of the legal authorities that he
can step in and preserve peace without
being called on by the municipal author
ities. Besides this, the merchants have
decided upon strong measures on their
own account. The merchants say a
number of men are willing to return to
work, but do not propose to make targets
for the union until they are ready for a
vigorous defense, and so they have de
clined to take them back for the present.
The strike fails to affect the news
papers to the extent expected, and the
only paper which has so far failed to ap
pear is the Item, the official organ of
the strikers, although that is expected
to appear tomorrow.
During the morning a proclamation
was issued by the mayor, calling upon
all persons to preserve the peace, and
warning the people that any disorder
would be repressed by the sternest
measures. The most serious feature of
the situation is the suspension of the
two lighting systems, gaa and electri
city. The officers of the two electric
light companies called upon the mayor
aud said they thought they could fur
nish light if granted protection for the
men engaged to take the place of the
strikers. This was readily promised.
During the afternoon the president of
the sugar and rice exchange asked the
PRICE FIVE CENTS.
mayor that protection be famished
those interests. Nearly 40,000 barrels
of sugar, molasses ani other products
lay on the levee at the mercy of the
public tumult, and if the mayor could
not furnish the force required, the ex
change, he said, would tender men to be
sworn in as special officers. The mayor
agreed to commission all such men.
The board of trade blbo urgnd that the
mayor do his utmost to bring about a
resumption of street car travel, and con
tinue the supply of gas, electricity and
water and other actual necessities.
In reply the mayor announced that
his powers were restrict to the preser
vation of the peace; that he could not
force the men to work, but he could and
would maintain order.
Strong influence was brought to bear
on the electric light men, as their being
out was a serious matter, and they were
finally induced to return to work. The
gas men are out, however, as are the
te ; ephone line men, but the exchange
bureaus are in, as are the Western Union
operators, although strenuoiiß efforts
have been made to bring them out.
The charity hospital appealed to the
directors of the gas company Way for
light, and offered to furnish the labor
required to operate a portion of the
plant sufficient to furnish the hospital,
but the directors refused, fearing for the
safety of the plant if the strikers were
opposed.
The union freight handlers quit at
noon, but the men employed in the cot
ton presses and yards are still at work,
but the leaders claim that the men
simply worked the day out and will
strike as soon as positive orders are
given. The Cotton exchange is not yet
involved, but if the cotton trade is af
fected, as proposed, the cotton men will
join the strong measures which the em
ployers proposo to inaugurate Wednes
day.
SAN FBANCISCO FIRES.

WK4BY OF I.Mr.
A. Young Engineer Commits Suicide at
Casa Grande, vrz.
Casa Grand, Ariz., via Tucson, Nov.
7. —A young man named Frank Allison,
an engineer at the Jack Rabbit mine,
came into town yesterday. He told
his friends that he had to
quit work on account of ill health.
He did not appear despondent or
low spirited. At 2 o'clock Sunday after
noon he remarked that he would go
over to the stable where he had left his
blankets. Shortly afterwards a pistol
shot waß heard in that direction and
parties hurrying there found him lying
in one of the stalls with a 45 caliber
pistol clutched ia his hand and his
thumb on the trigger. The top
of his head had been completely blown
riff and his brains scattered about the
stable floor. The young man was well
known and highly respected in this
