 NEW YoRK, Nov. 6.-New York city never was so excited as now. All day the streets have been thronged with excited men, Ev- cry item bearing on the presidential contest was eagerly scanned and discussed In front of the bulletin boards of the newspapers men stood in rows, blocking traffic and shouting for their favorites In the hotels up town tonight the same exciting scenes of last night are witnessed and odds are freely laid that Blaine will carry the State.
 A conference was held at the Stevens House this afternoon of delegates from the various Cleveland and Hendricks business mems clubs of the city. Senator Jonas of Louisiana, representing the National Demo- cratic committee, was present. The meeting was held with closed doors. After speeches by Senator Jonas and several prominent business men it was resolved to postpone sine die the meeting which had been called to meet in Wall street to protest against any unfairness in counting the election returns. It was agreed that the various clubs represented, which include fifty thousand business men, be con tinued in organization Ffunti1 the vote of the people shall be honestly counted ard truthfully proclaimed" A committee of eleven was appointed to act with the Democratic National committee "with full power to take such action as to them shall seem proper and shall prevent any possibility of falsifying the election returns"
 The excitement in this city tonight over the election remains unabated and thousands of persons visited the two national headquar ters in hopes of ascertaining something def nite as to the result. The hotels were also crowded with anxious throngs and at the Hoffman House offers of to 1 were made that Cleveland had carried the State. At 9 o'clock the Seventh regiment band marched down Twenty-fourth street and sere- naded the Democratic headquarters. The street was packed by at least five thousand people who kept up continual roar of cheers for Cleveland fol- lowed by the cry of "No, no, no, 76," and ''Gould, Gould, Blaine" The excitement is intense and seems to be increasing. The crowds are very enthusiastic, yet good na tured and so far orderly, although all sorts of rumors are in circulation as to what is likely to occur should the returns be delayed much longer.
 In acknowledging the serenade of the Sey enth regiment band before the national Dem ocratic headquarters tonight Senator Cor man said: "Cleveland and Hendricks have unquestionably carried the State of New York and have beyond doubt 219 electoral votes. One President duly elected has been deprived of his office by fraud, but such disgrace will never again be permitted in this country"
 A large and excited crowd numbering sev- in rf the Western Union building tonight hooting, shouting, burning paper, S., &c. A large force of police was detailed from the lower precincts of the city who soon quietly dis persed the throng. large body of police, however, remain in charge of the building. Inspector Thorne, acting superintendent of the police, this evening established his head quarters at the Twenty-ninth precinct police station and issued an order to all cap tains to keep their off-platoons on duty as re- serves until further orders. Captain Will Hams stopped Democratic procession on Broadway composed of several thousands to night and arrested the leader. Up to a late hour there was no further sign of

 the purpose of insuring Q fair canvass of the votes in this State. There were present Aaron J. Vanderpoel, ex-Attorney General Fairchild, ex-Governor Bidlde, ex- Attorney General Barlow, William c. Whit ney, Gouveneur P. Lowry, Francis R. Coudert, James c. Carter, District At torney Olney, Charles P. Miller, ex-Secretary Bristow, Congressman Hewitt and others James O. Carter was elected chairman and Charles P. Miller secretary. After discus sion regarding the election laws resolution was adopted that committee be appointed to insure full and fair returns of the vote in this city and to take such further action as it might deem advisable. Messrs. Barnum, German and Jones of the Democratic National committee were present. The delay in the transmission of returns was discussed and it was asserted that evidence of fraud had been detected. The counsel employed are among the ablest in the city. Their purpose is at once to bring the returns to the county and town clerks and supervisors of each district-and scrutinize them. If fraud is detected it is proposed to secure the punishment of the persons responsible.
 The Sun, Herald and Times at 10 o'clock bulletin Cleveland's plurality in the State 1,500 The latter adds that these figures are absolutely correct and any statement to the contrary is false.
 
 ciated Press in statement printed in the New York Evening Post figured out plu- rality of Il ,000 for Blaine in New York State At this hour with only twenty y-three voting precincts to hear from the Associated Press makes Blaine's plurality 432. No explanation of the decrease of upward of 10000 in Blaine's alleged plurality is given. The United Press has not been able at any time since the polls closed on Tuesday afternoon to find plurality for Blaine, but fearful that there might be errors in it's data it has re- trained until now from making it's inferenees public. All it's estimates, however, have been carefully made and they have been compared with the figures received by others, including those. received by the Associated Press, and the outcome of many conferences between it's experts has uniformly been strengthening of the belief that the small plurality which will be shown when the official vote is announced will be in favor of Cleveland instead of Blaine. At this time the Republicans still figure a small plurality for Blaine and the Democrats claim that they have thou sand or fifteen hundred plurality for Cleve- land. The chances are that it will require an absolute count of the official vote to settle the question of who is elected. The proba- bilities are certainly in Cleveland's favor.
 The New York Times during yesterday and today has gone over the ground in New York State which the Associated Press has been pretending to cover since the close of the polls on Tuesday. The Times has full returns from all but two counties and it is believed that these two will not affect the re- suit one hundred votes one way or the other. The result of it's canvass gives Cleveland 8 plurality of 1,276.
 ALBANY, Nov. 6.-The Democrats are fir ing one hundred guns in honor of Cleyeland's election. They claim that official returns from every county in the State show that he has plurality of the entire vote by about 1,5O0 The Associated Press reports here are not believed, the leaders claiming that they are doctored in the interest of the Repub1i- cans and they rely solely on the United Press dispatches
 ALBANY, Nov. 6.--"By the official returns received from every county Cleveland and Hendricks have carried New York State by {. safe and sure majority. No machinations or false claims or pretended doubts of Blaine's managers can change the result. The friends of honest government and elec- tions can be everywhere assured that the Democratic State board of canvassers will see that the vote is correctly declared.
