JUDGE WALES STORY.

Friday morning Judge Wales was called
upon by representative OF the JOURNAL.
He was still confined to bed, but the
acute pain was gone and he was affected
only by dizziness iu the head. He re
lated the incident, of the details of which
he had O very clear recollection Just
before tea he started to take brisk
walk, as is his custom. He left the house
at & 30 and went in the direction of town,
walking pretty fast for the exercise. He
does not think it was more that 10 minutes
before he reached Adams street, on the
avenue.
As he went by the corner lie saw stand

Judges attention. However he continued
his walk, forgetting the man, aun had
reached Tatnalfs green-house, at Jetfer-
son street, never feeling better ia bis life
as he says, when he suddenly felt shock
and fell on TO his hands in the street. He
attempted to rise and fell "a second time
before he was able to steady himself suffi
ciently to reach a tree on he south 81 e Of
the street.
Here it was that Mr. Sauders foand
him, and kindly escorted him home.
The judge did not hear anyone coming

cause he was the man most Convenient.

New YORK, Nov. 2l.-If ons may Judge
by the crowded condition of the hotels,
this city is as busy as ever, and the rise in
the price of stocks continues despite dismal
warnings in the newspapers to the effect
that the banks have barely the legal reserve,
and there must come check to speeuIa
tion shortly, but which do not appear to
have any effect whatever. In fact, it seems
that whatever may be the condition of tine
banks, there is still a large reserve in the
hands of the people, who are seeking
Investments with little apparent regard to
the interest they will bring in.

ALLEGED FRAUDS IN NEW YORK.

-Four years ago the Democrats carried
the States of Florada, Louisiana and
South Carolina, according to the re-
turns.
The Republicans alleged that the
Democrats succeeded in carrying those
States by intimidation and bulldozing
and the electoral commission refused to
70 behind the certificates of the Re-
turning Boards of those States and as
certain which party was entitled to
the Electoral votes of the three States.
Last Tuesday the Republicans carried
New York by majority variously
estimated at from $4,000 to %, COO
The Board Of Canyassers of New York
are Republicans, who will undoubtedly
certify the returns to Congress for
Garfield. As the Democrats control
both Houses Of Congress and are on
rscora in favor of going behind the
seturns, it is possible that an investi-
CATION of the vote of New York may
BE made, as frauds are alleged to have
been practiced in that State at the re-
cent election. With. this, object in
view, the National Committee has is
sued this manifesto in New York:
WHEREAS, 1t appears. that at the
Tecent election in this State vote has
been cast in certain localities largely in
excess of the legal vote as determined
by the recent census taken under the
direction of the General Government !;
therefore,
Resolved, That it be the duty of
the several County Committees OF this
State, and they are hereby requested
Ny the State Committee, to. examine
such census returns and make COM
parison with the votes recorded as
having been polled in the various dis
tricts OF thein county, with view of
'asceftaining the extent of fraudulent
voting in this State, and forward the
immediate result of such examination to
W. A. Fowler, Chairman OF the Demo
cratic State Executive Committee of
New York The unaccountable in
crease in the Republican vote in New
York and Kings counties and the plain
eyidence of fraud in such. vote demand
immediate investigation on the part of
the respective Democratic organization
Of the counties.
Resolved. That all citizens, of this
State, in each and every locality who
favor the right of the people to popu-
lar government, and who believe that a
fair vote and an honestscount are essen
tial to the perpetuatlon of our institu-
tions, are requested to aid by all means
in their power the aseertainment of the
RESULT.
Resolved, That copy of these reso-
hitions be forwarded to every Demo
cratic organization in this State.

NO FRAUDULENT PRESIDENT. !

General Hancock has come out of the
Presidential contest with as unsullied a
record as when he entered it. There is
not a stain on the character. Of the gal
fsnt soldier. 1t Isl true. he. has been
accused of being in sympathy with reb-
els, but there is nothing except the un-
substantiated, assertion, of campaign
'speas ers to prove the charge. He car
BED eighteen States OF the Union, ard if
Oregon gives him her electoral vote he
will divide the States. equally with Gar
field. 1t is charged that New York
State was carried against him by fraud,
and it is animated that its 35 electoral
votes may be counted for him. Unless,
however, it, is clearly and indisput.
ably shown. that he was defeated by
fraud, none of his adherents in the
struggle just closedw will desire that he
be declared President by Congress.
Hancock, the spotless soldier and emil
nent statesman, can not afford to be
stigmatized with the titla of ''Fraudu-
Lent President" A thousand times
better for, him and the party, whose
s.aadard-bearer he has been, that he
should lose the office, TO. which we in
common with millions Of Others hoped
he would. be elected, than that he
should be placed at the head of the
Government BY any unfair means. 1t
u no crime for him and his party to
suffer defeat, but it would be criminal
for his party in Congress to declare him
elected, and for him to accept the Office,
unless he is legally entitled to'it.

Of I, which added to gains made in
