Political Orstors Have Used Up
Their Best Powder.
TWO BIG BALLIBB IN NEW YORK.
The Republican Turned Out In Inch Force
to near Harrison and Horton That lIr.
Plait Couldn’t Get In the Ball—Demo-
crats Hold a Bouasr. ‘
Nilw You. Nov. l.-—Two of the .-big-
gest rallies of the campaign were held
here. marking the climax of the great po-
litical fight in this state. The Democrats
held one in Tammany ball. and the Be
publicans held the other at Carnegie hall.
where Mr. Morton and tax-President Har-
rison were the speakers.
Not only was Carnegie Music hall pack-
ed full. but not less than 20. 000 people
were unable to gain admission. Some of
the scenes outside the building were re-
markabls.
Both Mr. Morton and BX'Pl’OfildOn.
Benjamin Harrison were in good voice.
At the hall the scenes began to be live-
ly at 8:80 o'clock. for at that hour the
vast auditorium was filled. Nearly 6.000
people somehow found their way inside,
and when the holders of Mr. Beckett's
platform tickets arrived they found every
door locked. Thousands, of people were
turned away. mad as March horse.
The crowd on Fifty-seventh street was
great. but that on Fifty-sixth street was
the more persistent. because every one of
thorn held from one to two of Chairman
Beckett's tickets.
“They're no good. Move along,“ said
the police, and in the dense crowd ex—Sen-
ator Thomas C. Plant. John Sabine
Smith, ex-presidsnt of the Republican
county committee; R. Ilandel of the
Twenty-third district, W. M. K. Olcott.
chairman of the recent Republican coun~
ty convention, and hundreds of others
were jostled about in the thick mud made
by a large excavation in the street.
After Mr. Platt got out of the crowd
and replaced his massed silk hat on his
head he cooled his heels awhile on the
damp sidewalk and then went home.
Tammany hall. ringing with music.
blazing with lights and made bright by
many colored flags, echoed with tho slo-
gan of Democracy and with the applause
of the thousands who crowded one anoth-
er into every inch of space. Without the
scene was quite as animated. Fourteenth
street in front of the ball was filled by
hundreds, who could not got inside and
who stood for more than three hours at
the overflow meetings.
The principal speakers were Colonel
George B. McClellan. Hon. James L. Gor-
don. Hon. James Kerr and Judge John
H. Woods of Albany.
Democrats Figuring Out a Victory.
Affairs at the various headquarters were
as dull as the weather was. So far as the
Democratic and Republican headquarters
were concerned, the quiet was partly ac-
counted for by the explanation that many
of the managers who live outside the city
had gone to their home districts. election
day being so near. to "look after their
fences" and to take part in local can-
vasses. The attention of those remaining
was specially directed to the mass meet
ing at Tammany hall and the Republic-
an mass meeting at Carnegie Music hall.
At the Democratic headquarters the
canvass books have just been put in form.
and the managers said today that the to-
tals show a doom) majority for the Dem-
ocrats In New York and 11.000 in Kings.
They add:
“Of course the Republican majority
north of the Harlem will not reach 40.-
000. Governor Flower. a most astute po-
litical observer, says 30.000. and this will
give Senator Hill a clear majority of 35.-
000. For some time. under the cover of a
modest and quiet campaign. it has been
known that Democratic prospects Wore
daily growing brighter, Now. for the first
time. the figures are given out. ”
John liailoran of Lexington nvenrio was
present at the State Democracy head-
quarters with $2tl,ori0 to bet on the elec-
tion of Strong and God. lie exhibited
the amount of money named. but al-
though he remained there until after
dark no one appeared to take up any of
his offers. which were $5,000 to $4,500 on
Strong and Golf each and $10,000 even on
the election of both.

THE DYING CZAR.
11s It Becoming Feebler Day by Damned
the End Is Near.
ST. PETEliSlillilti, Nov. i.—-Tha official
bulletin issued from Livadia last evening
reads:
"His majesty has taken little nourish.
ment. The congestion of the left lung
continues. Breathing is difficult. and the
pulse is weak. The general weakness of
the patient has“greatly increased."
A somlofilciai telegram from Livadia
reports that the czar is much weaker. and
his pulse is focbler.
A letter received here from Livadia
says: “The czar is extremely weak and
hardly able to walk. but he has not aban-
doned hope. He tries to reassure the
czarina. who Is beside herself with grief
and anxiety.
“His majesty has frequent somnclcnt
fits. which he does his utmost to over-
come. He often refuses medicine. and
the sentries outside the quarters which be
occupies bear groaning- during the night.
“The population of Yalta warmly greet
Princess Alix when she drives outwith
the czarowitz. "
The czar sullen fits of suffocation.
Yesterday he was unconscious for several
hours. The day was warm and the sky
cloudloss. Early in the morning his maj-
esty tried to read state dispatches. but
be was too weak. During his violent fits
of coughing particles of lung were brought
away.
it was noticed that not one of the doc
tors in attendance upon the czar was seen
here. though usually they are observed
walking in the streets daily. Everybody
coming from Livadia is assailed with
questions. but nobody is able to give
much news. llr. Zacharin is everywhere
blamed for his wrong diagnosis and for
allowing the disease to go so far before
taking his majesty to a warmer climate.
It is alleged that there has been a serious
quarrel between Professor lwyden and
Dr. Zoeharin. the former reproaching his
colleague with aggravating the czar's lll-
uses by his brutal frankness. Dr. Zach-
arin, it is said. retortod angrily and was
only prevented from leaving Livadla by
the interference of General Tcherevin.
who threatened to forcibly detain him.
Professors Wilscbowski and Wyodzow
have been summoned to Livadla from St.
