There is something important going en-
among the Democratic leaders which pro
misses to create sensation. The state cx-
ec.ltive committee profess TO be coSnizant
of Illegal voting in this city and Brooklyn
to an extent which. they affirm. will n
validate the electoral vote for Gen. Gar
field and give the state to his oppcren',
but they will furnish no details at present,
except to call attention to some extraor-
dinary Republican results i'll particular
districts. In due time, they say. it will
all be I:laise apparent. Your correspOI-
dent heard some iutimaticrs OF this kind
at headquarters on the morning after the
election. but did not attach sufficient inn
portance to then, TO give them publicity.

in announcing through the morn
ing Journals that in certain localities "a
vote has been cast largely III excess of the
legal vote" and that = the unaccountabc
increase in the Republican vote in New
York au,l Kings counties is plain evidence
of fraud" siows that in their Judgment,
at least. there is; something Behind those
intinatioi!s. What it all means VIC shall
