NEW YORK. Special Telegram, Nov. 15.-~
In spite of the fact that in the canvass to-day
gains of a hundred or more We're reported
for Mr. Blaine there is no doubt in New York
tonight that Grover Cleveland has carried
the state and is elected president The
Tribune itself comedies the fact tonight
and will tomorrow morning announce the
election of Cleveland. The Tribune's figures
give Cleveland's plurality in the city at AZ,
O64, and in the state at 1919. These
figures were made upon the heads Of the
electoral tickets, however, and it is
known that Oswald Ottendorfer, the
heads the Democratic electoral ticket, runs
behind his colleagues about 1852 votes.

made to Smith E. Weed Of the Democratic
state executive committee, tonight places

ticket at 90, O93, while the lowest Cleveland
elector is 1873, 157. This leaves clear plu-
tality Of Cleveland Of 43, O64 in the city, and
1905 in the state for the lowest electors

mlttee count, which was two less than the
official count developed, gives Cleveland

! FINAL FROM CHAIRMAN JONES'
1t is not likely that the members of the
national committee will remain in New York
more than few days longer now. "Ret'
Clarkson, the Iowa member, left for home
Friday evening Treasurer Weeks has gone
back to Pittsburg and Chairman Jones will
leave for the same city next Wednesday
night, as soon as the official vote is declared
from Albany. Mr.: Jones said tonight:
| Il don't believe there Is much to add to what
you have already heard from me- If we had been
able to have gone back to the actual frauds per-
petrated at the polls, believe we would have
carried this state by a handsome plurality"
| when did you discover that this coult hot be
done?"
''Only on Monday last, after our last address
had been issued. There has been good deal
said about that address, but everything was said
| and done in the best of faith on the representa-
tions Of reputable men from all parts of the
state. As soon as we found that the actual
ballots in the state had been by
law destroyed and nothing remained
but the returns OF the election officers, we were
convinced that nothing but the most fragrant
frauds woald induce the canvassers to go be-
hind the returns. This did not transpire, and
| the result you know"
When did you first begin to doubt the sue
| cess of Blaine's elcction?"
When ! saw the business men 3 parade here
OF Saturday afternoon. previous to election.
That gave me an idea of the Independent de-
| lection which had not had before"
