Seeking Scapegoat in Brooklyn.
New YORK, Nov 9.-The executive COM
mittee of the Hancock and English Campaign
Club OF Kings county met last night in Brook
lyn and discussed the alleged frauds in that
city and the propriety of reorgan iZing the
Democratic party in Kings county. Thomas
Klnsella, editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, de-
rlared that unless prompt action was taken the
Democratic party in Kings county would be
lost, and he based his opinion upon the result
of the recent election. The Democratic party,
he charged, had lost the Presidency through
stupidity and mismanagement in two cities.
Gen. Hancock, he said, had been defeated
through treachery. The Court District Com
inittee had placed Garfield tickets in the hands
ol tne young uloH OI Ul6 lnlrQ ana SlXleenln
Wards. In these wards the Republican
tickets had been peddled at the polls by regu-
lar Democrats. Ii a strong, open organization
were made he felt confident that the Demo
Gratis could recover their old majority within
year.
Maj Thompson believed that a great many
Southern negroes were colonized il Brooklyn,
as he saw many of them about the streets, and
he could tell the difference between a
Southern and Northern negro.
Ex-Judge Morris said that in his opinion the
Republican electoral tickets were peddled by
Democrats.
After some further talk of like character
a committee was appointed to investigate the
alleged frauds and treachery and make re-
port.

A Member of the New York Democratic
Committee Denounces the Counting
Out Scheme.
ALBANY, N. Y, Nov. 9.-Edgar X. Apgar,
member of the Democratic State and Execu-
tive committees, in letter to The Argus de-
nies that any meeting OF either committee has
been held, and says that any action by mem
bers of the committee whether officers or
otherwise is individual action for which the
committee mot be held responsible. "In
so grave matter as calling into question the
vote OF New York in the electoral college, ne
says, ''too great caution cannot be exercise d.
The only way in which any contest could be
made with even shadow of probable success
would be by the rejection of the Republican
electoral tickets on which the word electors
has been twice printed This believe can
mt. md oh hn1,1A ha Tr, oh fl,n
result in any other way more than 10000
separate cases of fraudulent or corrupt voting
have to be proved, an evident i'm
possibility. 1t certainly cannot be ex-
pected that the present state boart of
-canvassers will declare otherwise than is
shown by the face of the returns, and my view
of the Democratic doctrine leads me to hold
that Congress cannot go behind the seal of the
State to investigate frauds at the polls in the
choice of Presidential electors This being SO,
it seems to me that all talk assuming to pos
sess an official character, about having
the electoral vote of this State cast for Han
cock. is calculated to bring rdicule and re-
proach upon the Democratic party, and would
tend, if Importance were given to it, to pro-
duce still worse effect.
Th se who would justify even light depsr
ture from the established laws and .orms to
count in Gen. Hancock in the spirit of revenge
for the frauds of 1876, would, in my judgment,
go r to make the bad precedent of that year
a rule for the futare and would take long
step toward MexicaniZing our government.
Holding firmly to these views am imPelled
to their public uiterance, in order that I
may not be considered TO have by silence ac-
quiesced in what purports to be, but is not, the
authorized action of either committee -

Gen. Pryor Thinks it Time for Barnum to
Go Home.
NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Gen. Roger A. Pryor,
L. H. .v,l.-
defending Philip in the Chinese letter case,
which Barnum and the Democratic committee
fathered, said to-day to Tribune reporter,
who asked him what he thought of Barnums
fraud cry:
"Stuff! Garfield has been elected and that's
all there is about it. Democrats who continue
this cry will bury themselves, and 1 don't
think they will get any support from the
South. which, in my judgment, has not sym
pathy with the movement. Barnum has made
so many serious mistakes already that won
der he doesn't go home"
Gov, Foster of Ohio a Candidate for the
Senate.
A Columbus, O., dispatch SAYS: Governor
Foster announces himself candidate for the
United States Senate. He says he does not
believe there is any bargain between Garfield
and Cameron, and that there will not be any
member of Garfield's cabinet from the South
Frauds in Florida.
JACKSONVILLE, Nov. 9.-The Press of this
city says;
In Madison city, in Madison cour tv, two
men from this city visited to attend the cleo
ton. They were appointed United States
deputy marshals, but the mayor of the town
visited them and very politely informed these
officials that they had better leave town, as he
could not control the citizens, and it was not
safe for them to remain over night. They
took the next train. One of Them Mr. Var
mum, was hred at after taking the car for the
city, and the ball passed through his clothes
grazing his skin. 1t was spent ball evident
ly.
In the Madison precinct, there were fifty
three more iyotes in the box than there were
names that had voted. OF course so many
votes had to be drawn from the box, and as
the Democrats used tissue ballot, the box
was often shaken, leaving tie large, or Re-
publican ballots on top, and these were the
ones that were taken from the box.
Arkansas Congressional Districts.
CHICAGO, Nov. "a special fcom Lit tie
Rock says there is not much probability of

mistake.
