THURsDAY's NEWS.
The day was a repetition of the day b.
fore, the morning bringing better news ft
Repu blicans than had the night, and du
ing the day members of both parties wei
hot and cold by turns,
Towards night dispatch was receive
announcing that Daniel Manning, Chail
man of the Democratic State Central Com
mittee of New York had sent the followin
to the New York Evening Post: "By tn
official returns reported from every count
Cleveland and Hendricks have carrie
New York State by safe and sure majo,
ity, and no Vaccinations or false claims O
pretended doubts of Blaine's managers Cal
change this result. The friends of homes
government and honest elections can b
everywhere assured that the Democrat
| State Board of Canvassers will see that th
true vote is correctly described.
! [5igned. DANIEL MANNING"
Almost Immediately afterwards the fol
owing address of the National Republican
Committee was received:
HEADQUARTERS REPUBLICAN NATIONAL !
COMMITTEE, New York, Nov. 5.
The Republican National Committee re
loices that the returns now received war
rant it announcing the triumphan
election of Blaine and Logan. The Re
publicans have carried every Northern
State, except New Jersey and Connect
cut. Virginia seems also to have given
mel 1rity for the Republican cause and
ticket, and there is strong probability
that West Virginia has also, while other
Southern States are still in doubt. The
Northern States alone, however, give
Blaine and Logan 233 electoral votes and
insure their election. In New York, at
temp.s to tamper with the returns already
have been detected. The actual vote Cas-,
in New York City, Kings county and 1852
other election precincts give at the utmost
only AS plurality to Grover Cleveland
while 1853 precincts not heard from gave
PHI plurality to Garfield.
There is, therefore, no ground for doubt
that the honest vote of the State has been
given to the Republican candidates and
though defeated, the candidate for the
Presidency is at the head of the election
machinery in this State. The Democratic
party which has VIGOROUSLY been the party
of fraud IN elections for years, will not be
permitted to thwart the will of the people.
The National Republican Committee calls
on the Chairman and individual members
Of County Committees TO take the prompt
est and most stringent means to protect the
sanctity of the ballot. The Republican
candidates have been honestly elected be-
yond question. Any attempt to cheat the
people and to defeat their will, thus ex-
pressed at the polls, must be surely exposed
and resisted by every law-respecting citizen.

There was great excitement at Albany
Late in the afternoon the Democrats began
to jubilate and fired hundreds of guns in
honor of the election of Cleveland. The
Governor was closeted with his private
Secretary all the morning. Congratulatory
kilograms continually poured in. At two
O'Clock Cleveland received telegram from
the Democratic National Committee con-
graduating him on the result. Mayor Har-
rison, of Chicago, telegraphed that Illinois
would give Democratic majority from
5000 to 1900.
At New York City the intense excite
ment on the strert assumed a tone of bitter
ness. Good nature seemed to vanishing
and trouble was expected. The entire po-
lice force was on duty and reserves held at
each precinct. The Cleveland and Hen
dricds Business Mems committee called a
mass meeting to be held in Wall street OH
Friday, to take such action as would pre-
vent the Republicans from stealing the
vote of New York, but subsequently at an.
other meeting the meeting was postponed
The Evening Post published the following:
1--WE believe it to be our duty to caution
the friends of Blaine that any attempt to
,ubvert the will of the people by tampering
with the returns will be perilous. The
populace, in case of fraud in the returns,
could not be restrained. As much as we
iepreciate violence, we fear that turbulence
ware"
The Cleveland papers continued to bulle-
in favorable returns, while the Blaine pa
Ders were as hopeful. II was reported once
hat the Tribune conceded the State but
hat was officially denied. Thursday night |
was cold, but the crowds continued on the |
streets, full of pent up excitement and the |
Jun and buster Of the day took fierce as |
oect. Placards appeared bearing the legends |
Republican Treachery," vengeance" etc. |
During the evening Secretary German OF |
he National Democratic Committee was |
erenaded at the Fifth Avenue hotel and |
aid: Cleveland has certainly been elected" |
He added. lone President, duly elected has
,een deprived of his Office by fraud, but |
UGH disgrace will never again be permit
