What Does it MeanP
New YORK, Nov AT the meet
ing of the Democratic State Executive
Committee this evening the following
preamble and resolutions were unani-
mously adopted:
WHEREAS, 1t appears that at the re-
cent election in this State, vote has
been cast in certain localities in excess
of the legal vote as determined by the
recent census taken under the dlrec-
ton of the general govtrnment; there
fore
ResOlued, That it is the duty of the
several committees of this State, and
they are hereby requested by the State
committee, to exam ne such census re-
turns and make comparisons with the
votes recorded as having been polled
in the various districts of their county,
with a view of ascertaining the fraudu-
lent vote in this State, and forward
Immediately the result of such examl-
nation to w. A. Fowler, Chairman of
the Democratic State Executive Com
mittee, at New York The unaccount-
able increase in the Republican vote in
New York and Kings counties, and
the plain evidences of fraud In such
vote, demand immediate investigation
on the part of the respective Demo-
cratic organizations in the State.
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 a
fair vote and honest count essential to
the perpetuation of our institutions,
are requested to aid by all means in
their power the ascertainment OF this
result.
RESOLVED, That copy of these res
olutions be forwarded to every Demo
cratic organization in the State.
All kinds Of startling rumors were
set ahoat to-day in regard to some
surprising action to be taken by Dem
ocrats on the National and State Com
mittees, intended to prove fraud on the
part of the Republicans in New York
State, more especially in the border
counties and in New York city and
Brooklyn Members of the National
and State Committees were very mys
terious, but admitted some action
would certainly be taken, and that
promptly. The State Committee held
a meeting and issued the foregoing.
Politics and Roal Estate.
Yesterday the result of brief confer
ences with iron men were given, bear
ing on the result of the elections as af-
fecting iron. To-day several gentle
men conversant with the real estate
business were questioned on the same
basis. The replies go to show that
real estate is quicker to feel the result
of a decisive ending of political strife
than is the iron industry.
Col. W. A. Heron and his success
sor in the real estate business, Mr..
John Heron, were both visited. They
were emphatic in their views and gave
the following information
"Real estate has been improving for
some months, SLOWLY, but surely, it is
true, for the past six months, but this
weeks elections have given property
sudden impetus. We have discover
ed this in actual transactions, not only
in buying, but selling during the past
two or three days. A number of
would-be buyers have deferred making
important purchases during the past
few months, giving all sorts of OF rea-
sons for their procrastination, but not
the real one. We know now that they
have been waiting for the second of
November and its results. We know
of at least one heavy transaction in
coal lands in Fayette county, where
the terms were conditional upon the
election of Garfield That is to say,
the whole bargain was to be "of'' in
case Hancock was elected The first
payment, $4,000, is in all probability
already made. We do not care to give
the names, but the purchaser means
business. Other instances of much
healthier state of the real estate market
are not wanting. One of US yesterday
closed bargain for city property that
last week hung fire. We could give a
list of sales at advanced figures over
those of month ago, but summed up
the advance that can be set down to
the credit of the election result may be
placed at about 10 to 10 per cent.
Other dealers not only agree with
the above views, but gave the advance
as being fully 25 percent in some class
es of city property within the past
week.-PiHsburgh Telegraph.
