after ching ball, made the follow Ins; slate
ment "When I was sworn In as chief of police of
New York city, I swore that I would do
my duty and protect the people of this city.
I propose to do my duty toward the whole
people here. I do not propose to be bulldozed.
I am going to see that the people s rights
are protected and that everyone entitled
to vote will be allowed to vote. I am going
to see that the policemen In my charge are
not bulldoied, even by John McCullagh."
Mr. McCullagh refused to talk concerning
tho Indictment. He said, however, th.it
he was a witness before the grand Jury to
day. Chief Devery was released on Jl.OuO
bail. Assistant District Attorney O'Reilly,
speaklsg for District Attoraey Ga.-dner. gave
out the following statement
"Tho Indictment does not charge an
vert act and without the commission of
any overt act there could be no Interfer
ence. The Indictment will not hold water."
Tho Indictment against Chief Devery
charges felony. It charges in part: "That
he did attempt wilfully, knowingly and
with felonious Intent to hinder bald John
McCullagh la the performance of his dutj
as state superintendent of elections."

Colonel Gardiner himrelf. discussing the
Indictment, called attention to the fact
that it was typewritten, even to bis sig
nature, and that of Attorney General Davis,
appended to tho document.
"Mr name to that indictment Is a for
gery," he said. "It was placed there with
out my knowledge, consent or authority."
A minor Incident that figured In the con
trovert was a request made by the police
officials for Superlatendent of Election?

however, declined to answer the police
commissioners, but tonight he announced
that he had unearthed a btg scheme to

and that ona of the rren. Peter Friend, a
saloon keeper In Jersey City, had been ar
rested and was being held at Jersey City
police teadquartera In default of J1.000
ball.
The concensus of opinion Is that the
election tomorrow In New York City will
be a quiet one and no serious clash will
occur between the police and the state de
partments because of the misunderstand
ings growing out of Chief Devery's ordar
of late Sunday night, In which he de
clared that the rights of citizens would
be protected regardless of Interference on
the part of Superintendent McCullagh.
Chief Devery Just before leaving his office
for the night said:
"Tomorrow's election will be the fairest
eevr held In New York City. I will do -ill
that lies In my power to see that that end

are interesting republicans and demo
cratic leaders for the reason ttut It has
been feared that a clash might occur at
the polls tomorrow between the S.000
policemen and the 00 deputies. At all
the political headquarters, at the ofSce of
the chief of police and at the Democratic

be that the election would prove a quiet

LOUISVILLE, Ky.. Nov. 5. A campaign
that really began before nominations were
made c!osel tonight In Kentucky, with
both sides claiming the state lp published
reports by 10,000. though disinterested es
timates do not put the majority either way
above 6.000 or 8,000.
The republicans made the Issue and
named it civil liberty, which term ex
presses their opposition to the Goebel elec
tion law and to the election of the legisla
ture In the contested election cases. The
state central committee of the Independ
ent democrats, who In the last election
cast 12. HO votes for John Young Browu
for governor, has endorsed Yerkes, re
publican, for governor, and Bryan. The
democrats claim that the bulk of the In
dependent democrats have returned to the
party. It Is generally believed that Bryan
will run ahead of Beckham, democrat, for
governor, and that Yerkes will run ahead
of McKlnley. whether democrats or re
publicans carry the state. The republicans
hope by fusion with Brown democrats to
carry several congressional districts now
represented by democrats. Already arrests
have been made in various parts of the
state for alleged bribery and alleged plans
to Invalidate ballots before thay are cast.
Both fcides are unusually watchful and
alert and the election will be conducted
under a veritable searchlight of public
scrutiny.

The chances for an exciting election day
tomorrow seem very good tonight. Five
hundred extra poltcement have ben sworn
In by the democratic police board and as
many republican deputies by Sheriff Jones.
The board of county commissioners today.
In defiance of an order of Judge Butler cf

United States District Judge Moses Hal
lett this morning declared that United
States Marshal Bailey had so right to
swear In extra deputy marshals to su
pervise the election.
The chairmen of both parties are -aira-Ing
everything In sight, but it Is noticeable
that the bettlrg Is rapidly switching to
wards the republicans. The outlook tj
ulght Is for the election of the Bryan
elector by from 1.V000 to 1S.OO0 plurallt":
Frank G. Goundy. republlran candidate for
governor, and his ticket by from 3.000 to
6,000. Robert W Bonyge. republican. In
the First congressional district, by 5.000,
and the re-election of Congressman J. C
Bell, fiiflonlst. In the Second district, by
from 13.000 to 25.090. The legislature will
likely be republlran by a small majority
on Joint ballot, so Insists State Chairman
C. D. Ford.
The betting tonight is 2 to 1 that the
republican legislative ticket Is elected in
Arapahoe county fDenvcr). This will In
sure the electlcn as above estimated.
Claim of thr Knlonlatn.
The state is conceded to Bryan, but not
by tho enormous pluralities and majorities
claimed by Milton Smith, democratic state
chairman. Smith asserts that 55.000 to
CO, 000 Is the least that Bryan will get, as
against 134.000 tour years ago. He ack
nowledges that J. B. Orman. nominee for
governor, will run behind, estimating his
vote at 35 000 to 40.000 plurality. The re
election of Congressman Shafrotb In tht
First district Is claimed by 10.000.
Everyth'ng depends on Arapahoe county
Goudy, It Is thought, will run ahead of bis
ticket S.OO0 In the state and Is counted
upon turning the trick to the extent of
3,000 In thle county. Bryan will likely get
the county on a scratch. Bonyge expects to
come down from the northern farming
counties with a plurality over Congressman
Sbafroth of several hundred, depending on
Arapahoe county to hold the vote for
him.
County Chairman Charles Hartzell of the
republican committee expects the McKlnley
legislative ticket to win out by 3,000, while
his fusion adversaries boast of 10,009 for
themselves, although split tn twain by the.
recent decision of the state supreme court,
which decided that the democratic branch
beaded by former County Chairman Thomas
J. Maloney, is not the bolting element but
the faction to whtch the title democratic
rightfully belongs. Maloney has nom
inated a separate legislative ticket pledged
to fight Wolcott and 'expects to poll as
many votes as do the disinherited branch
chaperoned by Governor Thomas and Tom
Patterson. Conservative estimates give
him about 3.500 votes in the county, which
will be enough to throw the election to
Senator Wolcott.
If Wolcott carries Arapahoe county it
means sev'enteea legislative votes for blm,
thirteen reperesentatlves and four sena
tors. With these assured, he can count
on nearly half of the assembly and bis
chances of re-election are bright.

BALTIMORE, Nov. S. On the night be

at tomorrow's balloting and both sides are
claiming the state by pronounced ma
jorities. Before leaving for his home In Harford
county tonight, whither he goes to vote.
Chairman Murray Vandlver of the dem
ocratic state central committee said:
"I have no hesitancy In claiming that
we will carry the state by from 6,000 to
10,000 majority and that both city and
county will contribute to that end. We
will not only carry the mate for Bryan,
but will elect four congressmen sure and
it would not surprise me In the least If
Major Little should defeat Pearre In the
Sixth district."
Secretary William F. Porter of the city
democratic committee supplemented Mr.
Vandlver's statement by adding-
"We have made a careful poll of the city
by men experienced In the work, who made
polls In the two previous campaigns. I
have the utmost confidence In the accuracy
of this latest poll and will say that the
outlook Is bright and that the city will
go democratic by a substantial majority.
I will not give figures, but am confident of
a favorable result."
Chairman Phillips Lee Goldsborough of
the republlran Mate committee said today
that he looks for even a larger majority i
than the ll.CwO which he mentioned last
night as his estimate, and Insists that Ma
ryland's congressional delegation will be
entirely republican. He will not go to
Cambridge to vote, but will remain at
headquarters throughout the day. Senator
McComas left tonight for Washington
county
The prevailing odds at hotels snd clubs
tonight range from 10 to 6 to 2 to 1, with
McKlnley at the big end. Some few bets
were recorded, the largest, JI.000 against
J1.:P0. being placed late tonight. On the
general result a few small wagers were
made at 5 to 1.

the state by at least S.000 and that their
congressional and state nominees will be
elected by majorities ranging from 1.S00 to
3,500. They also claim they will have a

CANTON. O . Nov. The MrKlnly
lawn, so famous in the carapainn of lv6,
waj this evening the scene of an enthusi
astic demonstration similar to that xl k-h
closed the campalga four years ago. The
president made a short adlre to his
neighbors and fellcw-tow nsmen. free from
partisanship, but apropos' of the election
tomorow. He aNo Introduced Judce &ay
for a nhort speech from the famous front j
porch The occasion was an uaadvertmed
and unannounced serenade by the Grand
Army band, with several thousand people
following the band with loud cheers and
hurrahs and a glare of red fire that Illu
minated the whole scene roundabout the
McKlnley home. 1
The band appeared upon the scene some j
time after dark and the report that the
president was to be serenaded spread like
wildfire. First a score fell In behind the
band, than another score, then hundreds
and iln-illy. by the time the McKlnley home j
nas reached, thousaads. Somewhere, no I
one knows Just how, a supply of red lire
torches was secured and they were burn
ing at their height when the cheers of the
crowd around the house drowned the mu
sic of the band. Two or three selections
were played In the streets In front ot
the house and then the bond was Invltco
to the front of Mrs. McKlnley's parlors
for another selection.
After each number there had bren calls
for the president and finally he appeared
on th porch. He bowed to tbe crowds
In front of him to to his right and to hts
left, amid deafening cheers. There ere
calls for a speech and some one pulled from
the vestibule of the house a relic of the
campaign of four years ago, a Tennessee
stump, with polished top and engrar;d
emblem, brought hero by a Tenaessee dele
gation. The president rtnl upon tUs
ana tpo.r as lollnw-s-

When the president mentioned the name
of Judge Day there was another enthusiastic
ovation and the judge was constantly In
terrupted by applause when he spoke as

CHICAGO, Nov. 5. The following state
ment was given out at the headquarters

"There are few surface Indications at
this time dissimilar to those of four years
ago. when McKlnley swept the country by
the greatest majority probably ever given
to a presidential candidate Tbe work of
the republicans during the last four weeks
has been mirvelously effective. It has
been marked everywhere by completeness
In detail of machinery, harmonious action

McKlnley and Hobart fonr year? ago and
certainly several others that voted for
Bryan In 18S6.
"The alleged hopes of CroVer and
Bryan as to carrying Indiana and
New York are simply following out
the program of claiming every
thing In sight for the purpose of
encouraging their followers In close states
to make the mort desperate efforts for suc
cess. The claims of th republicans are
based upon the result of artual ork re
ported by men In the field, brought up
through precinct ward, township, city,
county and state organizations, and upon
actual farts as shoun by the closest poll
ever made by political organization."

TRENTON. N. J.. Nov. 5. There has heen
no change In the political situation In New
Jersey today. The republicans arc confi
dent of success, but the democrat claim
that If tbe members of their party who
remained away from the polls four years
aco turn out tomorrow the state will go
for Bryan. The lncn-ase In registration. '
the republicans claim. Is due to the nor
mal growth of the voting people. The
democrats, however, claim that the In
crease shows that the democrats who re
mained away from the polls four years
ago expect to vote tomorrow. The great
fight In the state will be for the legislative
ofilccrs. The eight senators to be elected
w-IU have a vote next year for a successor
to Senator William J. Sewell. whose term
expires at that time. Vnder ordinary cir
cumstanced the democrats would hope to
elect seen of the eight nenators because
the counties Irom which they are to be
elected are democratic, but It being a
presidential year, the republicans claim
tbe big vote that will be polled for Mc
Klnley will enable them to pull throuKb
five of the senators, which would give them
such a majority In tbe senate that only a
landslide next year would prevent them

CHICAGO Nov. 5. Senator Marcus A.
Hanna. chairman of the republican national
committer made his last speech at noon
today, addressing several thousand railroad
employes and steel workers at South Chi
cago. When the Illinois Central special,
bearing the senator and party, arrived at
South Chicago, the whistles of all tho big
mills there were blown, and large crowds
gathered at the depot to extend a welcome.
Accompanying tho senator was Richard
Yates, the republican candidate for governor
ot Illinois. At 5.30 p. m. Senator Hanna
will leave for Cleveland, where he will
vote tomorrow, after which he will go to
Canton to be tbe guest of the president.
Senator Hanna sald:
Mv friends, save your 'enthusiasm for 'i
morrow night, for then you will have plen'y
of opportunity to give It full play. .Ap
plause t We nre on the eve of one of the
createst elections and one of the most im
portant elections that has ever been held
In the United States. It is second to
none other for the effect It wit have cn
the masses who toll for their living and it
is secona to none lor its ttrect upon thT,.
who rare for and unhold the nrlnrlnlrn .,f I
sound money and a protective tariff. I
come to you as u buslress man who ha
been engaged all his life In the kind f
work that has built up this pan of Chlraso.
Tomorrow It will be In your power to de:lde
thlH great question of whether we arc- to
cuntlnue prosperous or to suffer a calam
itous reverse 1 bIlve you will stand bv
the republican party and stand by the g--at
lrnder of that party. President McKlnley,
who has stood by you. (Applause.
"Look on Thi Picture."
Let me present a picture. On one Mde
you have a man whose only part In con
gress during Ms short term there was t j
tear down what McKlnlr" had been four
years building up the McKlnley tariff bill
and what Wi It he pavo you? The Wilson
Gormait bill that put out the tires In 'he
furnaces, ihut checkJ Industrie i,n-l
brought about a condition that, God forbid
wo may ever see ugaln. (Applaue.) And
now Bryan Is aj,klnir you to elect him pres
ident of the United States and he cares
not what means he uses to cet th re
quired number of votes. He tell.- you that
If elected he will eutabllsh a free silver
basis and a system of free trade, and .ve
know he will lsnore all economic nrlnclnlrj
Making such frantic uppeals he reduces
hlmbelf to the rank of the lowest dem
agogue. Now turn with me to whire Wil
liam McKlnley shouldered his muket In
defense of his country and follow him
through a four years' war and then see
him enter congress, elected then, as r.e
always has been, by the working men. Ha

HIS NEFARIOUS GAME IS INTERRUPTED

INTIMIDATION OF VOTERS IS AIMED AT

Hiding Place.
Sheriff Tower remained in hiding all day
ypstcrdiy and all of last night to evade
the service of a restraining order Issued
by Judge Baker at 3 o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon to prevent the sheriff from violat
ing the election law which he has sworn
to enforce. The papers were placed In
the bands of Coroner N. P. Swanson, who
made every effort lo serve Ibeiu, but with
out avail. When the coroner entered the
Jail one ot the deputies remarked that they
nee expecting him and had no Informa
tion to Impart concerning the fusion sher
iff, who fully expected that Ms trickery
would bo headed off.
At an eariy hour this morning tbe cor
oner visited the homo of Sheriff Power on
South Tenth street, but the family re
fused to answer the doorbell. Lights were
burning In the house and there was every
evidence that members of the family were
at home. Another visit lo the Jail failed
to bring tbe hiding sheriff to light.
party of democrats watched every move
of the coroner and kept Power Informed
as to his whereabouts. It was reported
that Power attended the Bryan meeting at
the paUllos on Capitol avenue, but 'he
either was not there or disappeared before
Mr. Swanton nnd his assistants succeeded
in locating blm.
Why thr Order W lurd.
The restraining order was Issued on the
relation cf Chairman Ostrom of the repub
lican county committee, who set forth In
his petition the fact that Sheriff Power
and others were ln a conspiracy to enlist
a large number of deputies prejudiced tn
favor of the fusion candidates tor the pur
pose ot coercing and intimidating voters.
In the capacity ot county commissioner
Mr. Ostrom protested against the county
being put to such unnecessary expense
maintaining that it is the duty of the
police departments of Omaha and South
Omaha to preserve order at the polls. He
pointed out to the court that tho police
are fully able to preserve peace at tho
polls and that the appointment ot deputies
by the sheriff is Illegal and only for th
purpde of alnderlcg the clerks and intir
terlng with the election.
Judge Baker granted the following re
straining order, the service of which tbe
tricky sheriff avoided:
Upon application of the plaintiff for at.
Injunction. Lpon his petition duly verified
It being necessary' that the defendant have
notice of the application before an Injunc
tion Is granted. It Is therefore ordered
that said cause be set for hearing on the
th day of November, lft.0. at 9:30 o'clock a
m. before the Honorable Jacob Fawcett.
Judge of the district court, at court room
No. 6 In The Uee building, In the city of
Omaha, Neb., and that the plaintiff be
forthwith required to notify the defendant
of the time and place of said hearing, and
that until further order of the court a re
straining order Is allowed against the de
fendant, any and all his deputies, and all
other persons acting for or under said de
fendant, restraining him from calling or
causing to be sworn in any special deputy
sheriffs to serve at or near any polling
place within the cities of Omaha or South
Omaha ln Douglas county. Neb., on the 6th
day of November, Wu. A. D., or from plac
ing or causing to be placed, and from per
mitting any special deputy sheriffs to be
stationed or remain at or about any polling
plaren in the city of Omaha or South Omaha
on the 6th day of November, A. D. ISOu: that
the said sheriff be restrained from Inter
fering In any way with the said election, to
be held on the 6th dav of November. A. D.
1M0, or from doing any act or thing to pre
vent any elector legal of either of the cltli-s
of Omaha or South Omaha or the county of
Douglas from castlnK his vote for the per
son or candidate of his choice at the elec
tion on the 6th day of November, A. D.
1?"0: that the said order shall become of
effect upon the plaintiff executing an un
dertaking in the turn of tVO, cs required
bv law, to be approved by the clerk of the
court. B. 8. DAKEB.
Judge of the District Court.
Power Flees Harly.
As soon as tbe republican committee
heard that the sheriff was about to swear
in his political henchmen for the purpose
ot furthering their own Interests at tbe
expense ot the county, action was taken
to prevent such corrupt and Illegal action.
Before the sheriff had succeeded in commit
slonlCft more than a dezen ot bis men,
rumors of the efforts to interfere
with such proceedings came to the
sheriff, and, profiting by his experience last
spring, be disappeared as effectively as if
the ground bad swallowed blm up and
kept under cover.
Another evidence of disreputable tactics
adopted by the tusionlsts was the arrest of
Councilman Harry B. Zlmman on a warrant
sworn out by Pat Ford, who connected the
Third ward councilman with the alleged
illegal registration of some Russian Jews,
The case was brought in Justice Baldwin's
court and Mr. Zlmman was Immediately
released on bond. The councilman's friends
resect the attack as an outrage and Mr.
Zlmman asserts that be does not even know
tbe persons who are said to have registered
Illegally. Many tusionlsts In the Third
.ward are disgusted with the employment
of such rolltlcal methods and have an
nounced that they will not stand with a
party which stoops to such low practices
In the hope of gaining votes.
