Barnum and Kelly Still Playing Their Little
Game in New York

CHICAGO, November 9th.-The Tri5une's

How do you account for the increase OF
the Republican vote in New York City 2"
The vote of the city was thoroughly
worked up by the Republican managers, and
they also exercised care to prevent repeti.
ton of the terrible Democratic frauds of past
years. The census returns were of material
aid to US. We had copies made, compared
the registration lists with them, and in every
case where we found names on the registra.
ton list which were not on the census returns
we made an investigation. As result OF
this, we were ready to meet repeating and
false registration, and, defeat both. Now you
have asked about the increase of the Repub-
lican vote. We had estimated so, GOO for our
ticket, and we got 5000, or better. 1t

may put it down for fact that the South

Democratic mismanagemen5; that they are
in 70 mood to listen TO any such proposition
from Barnum or Kelly. The Republicans
have won the election by the fairest means,
and gave majority of the popular vote, and

Going Behind the New York Returns.
WASHINGTON, November 9lh-The .Sta1
this evening publishes higiy interesting dis.
patch from its New York special correspond.
ent, which though seeming somewhat sensa-
tionai, is known here to have been written
by person not addicted to sensationalism.
He says: While up to this time the very
suggestion of going behind the New York
returns.aud declaring this State for Hancock
has been classed as part of the machinery for
letting the Democrats down easy, it has been
discovered that the Democrats are very seri-
Gus about the matter, and are working to
that end with yigor unknown during the
canvass. After an industrious search for in
formation leading to the Democrats intention
in this matter, your correspondent, with in
side secrets, finds:
First-That the pressure to open the con-
test for the vote of the State comes from To-
calities outside of the State, principally from
the Southern States, and mainly from Ken
lucky and Richmond that dispatches and
letters and outside Democratic newspapers
have worked with great effect upon the Dem
ocratic committees here, who have had their
local difficulties to settle, and who feared the
effect of the opposition which the business
men here would give to any further election
talk.
Second-That the disputed question of the
support of the solid Southern Democracy is
settled in this matter, or the committee here
would not go on with the project. The IT.
wing Hall, Tammany Hall and State Demo-
cratic Committees have been diligently at
work, and claim to have made discoveries
that astound those engaged in the prosecution
of the inquiries into the various kinds of al
legged fraud. Among other things, they have
found technical violation of law, which is a
penal offense under that statute-the Illegal
preparation of tickets. The intent of the
voter is not denied, but the law makes GER
tain kinds of tickets only voted, and opens
the Penitentiary door to persons implicated
in preparing them otherwise.
Third-The National Democratic Commit
tee has nos yet taken hold of the matter, but
its Executive Committee meets here Friday
At that meeting the reports from three other
committees now working the subject up will
be read, which promise to furnish afiidavits
to prove frauds involving over 90, 200 votes.
Fourth-These committees will request
the National Committee to insist upon the
appointment of Congressional Committee
of Investigation into the New York election,
and make it the very first business of both
houses at the approaching session.
Fifth-That they are serious in the matter
is now beyond doubt. The Republicans have
done nothing, believing up to this time, as
General Hancock is utterly opposed to any
scheme of the kind, and says so, that nothing
would come of the talk but now they pro-
pose to be ready to demand that the same
class of investigation shall proceed under their
auspices in certain Southern States, and here
also, to prove Democratic frauds. Three or
four Democratic Senators have already been
heard from. Senator Davis of West Vir-
ginia says he will not be party to it. but
will oppose any attempt to open the affair !;
and the others say they will not think of Civ
ing it counteDance. A nervous feeling exists
here, and nothing BUT some public declaration
from enough Democratic Congressman to set
tie the matter now will avert the unsteadi-
ness in business that is threatening to happen
and to last till the votes are counted in Jan.
uary.

from Washington that leading Democrats of
