Returns or Trouble. N
NEW YORK, November G.-The excite
mont in this city tonight over the cleo
tion remains unabated, and thousands OF
persons visited the two National head
quarters in hopes of ascertaining sOme-
thing definite as to the results. The
hotels were also crowded with anxious
throngs, and at the Hoffman House offers
of three to one were made that Cleveland
had carried the State At nine O'Clock the
Seventh Regiment band marched down
Twenty-fOurth street and Serenaded the
Democratic headquarters. The street
was packed by at least 5000 people who
kept continual roar of cheers for Cleve-
land followed by the cry "NO, no, no
'76!" and Gould, Gould, Blaine!" In
acknowledging the serenade Senator Cor
man scid:
Cleveland and Hendricks have unquestion-
ably carried the State of New York, and have
beyond doubt 2l9 electoral votes. One Presi-
dent, duly elected, has been deprived of his
office by fraud; but such disgrace will new
er again be permitted in this country
The excitement is intense and seems to
be increasing. The crowds are very en-
thusiastic, yet good-natured. and, so far,
orderly, although all sorts of rumors are
in circulation, as to what is likely to oc-
cur should the returns be delayed much
longer.
United Press Versus the Western Union.
NEW YORK, November 6.-Yesterday
afternoon the Associated Press in q
statement printed in the New York Eren-
ing Post figured out a plurality of II 200
hour, with only twenty-three voting
precincts to hear from the Associated
Press makes Blaine's plurality 1872. No
explanation of this sudden decrease of
upward of 10000 in Baine's alleged
plurality is given. The United Press has
not been able at any time since the polls
closed, on Tuesday afternoon, to find a
plurality for Blaine, but fearful that there
might be errors in it's data it has re-
Trained until now from making its
differences public. All its estimates,
however, have been carefully made
and they have been compared with fig
ures received by others, including those
received by the Associated Press, and tle
outcome Of many conferences between its
experts has uniformly been a strengthen
ing 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 they have 1000 or 1850 plurality
for Cleveland. The chances are that it
will require an absolute count OF the Off
cial vote to settle the question OF who
is elected. The probabilities are certain
ly in Cleveland's favor. -
