/ In spite of the fact that in the canvass to-day
I gains of a hundred or more were 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 viii tomorrow morning announce the
election of Cleveland. The Tribune's figures
give Clevelands plurality in the city at 49,
064, and in the state at 1,076. These
I 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
I behind his colleagues about 162 votes.

ticket at 90,093, while the lowest Cleveland
elector is 1873, 1877 This leaves clear plu-
1 rality of Cleveland of 43 ,064 in the city, and
1,095 in the state for the lowest electors

mittee count, which was two less than the

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"
1 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:
I,olsa L. TO-
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 handsome plurality"
! When did you discover that this could not be
done2"
only on Monday last after our last address
had been issued. There has been a 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
4 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 woaid 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 election?"
! when l saw the business mems parade here
on Saturday afternoon, previous to election
That gave me an idea of the Independent de-
| lection which had not had before"

election Assistant Secretary LOOMS said:
! 1t is all over. We only await the action of the
