Alexander Sullivan and Mr.. Carrell, of the
Irish World were at the headquarters of the
Republican national committee to-day. Said
Mr.. Sullivan to your correspondent: 81 think
the Irish-Amerisan vote for the Republican
ticket has been quite as large in New York and
Connecticut as was expected Two thousand
Democrats, Irish-Americans, voted for Blaine
in Rochester The vote from this source was
as large in proportion in Albany, Troy, and in
New York city. The Republican losses were in
the wards which have always given large Re
publican majorities. The Republican gains
were from the Democratic wards,
where the Irish-Americans reside DIR.
Burchard's unhappy allusion to rum,
Romanism, and rebellion, has probably
hurt the Republican party in two ways 1t re-
pelled the narrow minded Catholics, and Mr..
Blaine's cordial reference to the Roman Catholic
Church caused some narrow minded Protestants
to refuse their suffrages to him"
Mr. Carrell said that he believed that DR.. Bur
chard's remark had cost the Republicans enough
votes to lose New York, 'if they do lose it."
The report that Jay Gould had sent Cleveland
a congratulatory message gained wide currency
in very short time to-day The Democrats re-
gard it as virtual concession of the election of
their candidate by the Republicans 1t was
nothing of the sort. Jay Gould does not rep

to the matter. "Jay Gould sent the message to
mearure of safety for himself.
The Democratic papers have aroused
a strong and bitter feeling against Gould, and
there have been threats of violence to him made
His dispatch to Cleveland has placated the peo-
pie, and relieved him from all personal danger.
1t had no significance whatever other than this"

Jones, intends to be conservative and just to

myself personally, but the whole committee.

''We believe that he has been elected, and. as
a matter of course we therefore claim it. We
mean to be fair, and to leave no stone unturned
to get at the exact facts If discover on inves-
tigation that Mr. Blaine has not received the vote
we think he has and if we find the frauds
were not perpetrated, which we have strong
evidence pointing to, then, as patriotic American
citizens, we shall bow to the will of the major

''To what frauds especially do you referl'
ing that in this city, Kings county, Queens
county, and in counties in the interior of the
State the returns have been tampered with since
Tuesday night. When the boards of eanvassers
of these counties shall assemble to count the
vote, the national committee will, in
every instance, appear by counsel, enter
a formal protest, and produce eyi-

perpetrated on the ballotbox. The matter will
