New YORK, November 10th.-The follow
ing has been issued from the office OF the
Associated Press:
| Our footings show that Cleveland has plu-
rality of 146O. There are eighteen places to be
| heard from officially; which will reduce this
somewhat. If Garfield's malorltles IN those
places are accepted, the plurality for Cleveland
viii be 724, but il is doubtful If Blaine polls us
| large vote in those precincts as Garfield.
| Hence Clevelands plurality may be accepted as
| LOCO. This calculation, of course, is based on
! the returns which have been received from the
various precincts at this office from persons be-
| lieyed to be reliable, aud have also served the
| Associated Press acceptably i'll other years. An
ence of rates of gain or loss in different sections;
hence the widely differing calculations.

| HOW THE COUNTY RETURNS ARE CANvAssED.
New YORK, November 10th.-To-morrow
at l P. NJ. sixty Boards of County Supervis-
| ors of this State, torty-tllrec of which are
Republican and seventeen Democratic,
| meet at their county seats to open and can
vass the returns by election districts. OF
course It is not known officially what the
plurality is, even on the face of the returns,
until this canvass is made, much less can
it be declared whether the plurality rests
| on accurate returns. The election laws re-
| quire that ut every county seat there shall
| be deposited a return for each poll, made
out by the inspectors Of election at the
| close of the continuous session in which,
after the polls closed they are required TO
count, announce and record the votes. The
| ballots counted are destroyed in every
| county but Kings. The Boards Of Super
| visorS can correct manifest clerical errors.
! but this is all they can do, and even when
| it comes to determine what clerical error
| is, & difference of opinion can be finally
| determined, if either party chooses, by a
resort to the Supreme Court of the State for
a mandamus. The law specifies iii this
| State the proper caption aud the type Of d
ticket. 1t is the duty of the Election In
| spcctor to see that none but such ballots
as are stipulated by the statute are voted.
! In this city and elsewhere il is said quite a
! large number OF Republican ballots were
| rejected because, i'll cutting the tickets
apart. the names had been slightly clipped.
| Ii is stated the validity Of these ballots will
| be made a question for the Courts to decide,
both by the Republicans and the Demo-
| Gratis.

Gratis.
New YORK, November 10th-Thc World
says: The Republican managers are de-
| terlnined to carry the contest in this State
TO the highest tribunal, the State Board OF
| Cauvassers, and have engaged Evarts, Bliss
and other legal luminaries 10 represent
| their case. The Democratic State and Ma
| tional Committee and a number of the
most prominent Republicans have re-
| quested ex-senator Roscoe Conkling to rep
resent the validity Of the returns, and de
| fend the Prcsidcnt-clect from mauipu-
| lators, and the World says he will accept.

proceedings that may arise in relation to
the present canvass. Conkling is tonight

Acknowledgement O'Brien, one of the State
| Canvassing Board, in a speech to the Dem
ocrats here, said Il have no fears that
the wishes or judgment of the people ex-
pressed at the ballot-box, will be talsitied
or defeated. No party or set of men cdn
steal the electoral vote of the Empire State.
The laws of the State in regard to elections
and the counting of votes are too perfect to
admit of fraud. The people of New y ork
are too much in earnest to tolerate fraud,

THE ALLEGED FRAUD AT KINGSTON.
KINGSTON q. ", November 10th-In
regard to the fraud in the Fifth Ward. no
contest will be made tomorrow by the
Republicans. The FrccmqH, leading Re
publican paper, this evening SAYS: The
vote in the Fifth Ward, having been repre-
scented throughout the State us fraudulent,
it is only fair to both parties that the whole
truth concerning il should at once be made
known The electoral ballot-box was
found 10 contain ninety-one ballots more
than was cast according 10 the poll list,
and that excess of votes was drawn out BIZ
man b!indtolded, in accordance Will! the
laws of the State. If fraud was intended.
the parties failed to accomplish what thew

reason to lind lault with the result of the
vote, as ii gave Cleveland only forty ma
iority, which is the ordinary vote The
roll was carefully watched on election dav.

tors apparently gives each party what it is

WASHINGTON, November 10lh.-The Dem
ocratS have begun to portion ont the Offices
in anticipation Of Cleyeland's inauguration.
1t is universally conceded that Cleveland,
If elected, will be in honor bound to rccog-
nize the Independents, and il is thought
that they will be rewarded for their services
by putting Carl Schurz, their leader. into
the Cabinet. Notwithstanding his protes
tations during the campaign that lie had
not severed his relations with the Republi-
can party, nobody doubts that he would
accept a position in Clevcland's Cabinet if
offered HIM. The name of General Geo B.
Mcclellan is mentioned for a Cabinet office.
and it is said that he prefers the Navy to
the War Department, for the reason that in
his judgment the time has come when the
navy should be rebuilt, and that there will
be greater chance for q man to distinguish |
himself at the head of that Department |
than At the head OF the military affairs of |
the country. Ex-senator Mcdonald. of |
Indiana, is named for Acknowledgement. |

this place would reconcile all the differ |
