4 Democratic Wsthdra,Uat In Ne,y Va

4 Democratic Wsthdra,caI In Nesc York
ALBANY, N. Y, Nov. 9.-The following
has been addressed to the argus. by Edgal
q. Apgar, member both of the Democratic
State committee and the executive commit
tee of that body:
ALBANY, Nov. 9.-To the Argus: AS there
has been some misunderstanding on the sub
ject, it is proper to state that there has beer
no meeting held since the day of election
either of the Democratic State committee OF
of the executive committee of that BODY
nor have notices been sent to members
of either committee for any such meeting in
the future. Any action taken by members
of the committee, whether officers or other
wise. is individual action, which the COM
mittee has not authorized and for which il
cannot be held responsible. In so grave a
matter as calling into question the vote of
New York in the electoral college
too great caution cannot be
exercised. The only way in which
any contest conld be made, with even a
shadow OF piuO4-45 success, would be by
rejection of Republican tickets on which the
word 'electors" has been twice printed.
This, 1 believe, cannot and should not be
done. To change the result in any other
way, more than 10000 separate cases of
fraudulent or corrupt voting would have to
be proved, an evident impossibility. It GER
tainly cannot be expected that the present
State board of canvassers will declare other
wise than is shown by the face of the returna:
and my view of Democratic doctrine leads
me to hold that Congress cannot go behind
the seal of the State to investigate fraud at
the polls in the choice of Presidential cleo
tors. This being so, it seems to me that all
talk assuming to possess an official char
acter about having the electoral vote of
is calculated to bring ridicule
and rep1oach upon the Democratic party,
and would tend if importance were given to
it to produce a still worse effect. Those
who would justify even slight departure
from the established laws and forms to
count in Hancock in a spirit of
revenge for the frauds of
1876, would, in my Judgment, go far to
make the bad precedent of that year a rule
for the future, and would take lpng step
toward Mexicanizlng our government.
Holding firmly to these views I am impelIed
to their public utterancc as a member of
the Democratic State Committee and of the
executive committe, in order that may not
be considered to have by silence acquiesced
in what purports to be but is not, the au-
thorized action of either committee. Very
truly yours, (sigued)

A New Road and New Town

ST.. LOUIS, Nov. 9.-The Arkansas division
of the St. Louis & San Francisco railway
was completed to-day and opened for busi-
ness to SeIigman, thirty five miles south of
Pierce City, the point where it branches
from the main line. Seligman is only two
weeks old, but it already shows evidence of
becoming fourishing and enterprising city,
ten to fifteen buildings being erected daily,
and there is an energy and push about the
people seldom seen even in frontier towns.
The completion of the road to this point
shortens the stage ride to the now famous
Eureka Springs of A. kansas from twenty
eight to eighteen miles, and enables invalids
to reach the marvelously curative water
with comparative ease and comfort. Stage
coaches are already running from Seligman
to different parts of Northern Arkansas,
and people are receiving mails from St.
Louis in twenty four hours. This improve
ment is highly appreciated by business men.
The railroad will be energetically pushed
south from Seligmau.
