PROCLAMATION BY THE DEMOCRATIC
STATE COMMITTEE.
New York, Nov. 9.-Headquarters
Democratic State Committee, Hoffman
House, New York, Nov. 9.-We deem
it our duty to announce to the people
of the state that the Republican mana
gers have within the last forty -eight
hours conceived new scheme for
throwing again into dispute the result
Of the election in our state. For sew
eral days after the election they. in en-
tire bad faith, claimed for the Repub-
lican candidates several states which
they knew they had not carried. In
the same bad faith, when every source
Of information, including the Associ-
ated Press, has demonstrated that the
vote of New York has been given to
the Cleveland electors, they still claim
that state. No fact of history is now
better known than that the results of
the election as ascertained, declared,
and certified by the election of officers,
and on public record throughout the
state, give New York to the Cleve-
land electors by decisive plurality.
These public certified returns have
been sifted in the several counties by
both parties with the most eOnscien-
tious care during the last few days,
until every possible doubt as to the re-
suit has been removed. Knowing this
fact, they now propose, as a last des-
perate resort, to make Of the boards of
county canvassers throughout the state
where controlled by them, SO many re-
turning boards after the pattern of
those not long since used by them in
the Southern States. Wherever the
boards fail then judicial orders are to
be applied for. Thus, relying upon
the partisanship of the boards, in the
first place, and judges Of their own
political faith in the second, they in
tend to throw again into dispute the
result of the election and involve in it
interminable litigation.
To this end printed papers have been
sent by them to their agents and rep
sentatlyeS IN every county IN the state
OF New York, to be used with the
manufactured. OF the entire reliable
ity of our information as to this scheme
there can be no question. We call
upon the represent tives of the party
in the various counties in this state to
be alert, and by every proper method
to resist and defeat this last desperate
device. And mindful of the grave
consequences to the business interests
of our state which such a conspiracy
necessarily involves, we deem it our
duty to assure our people who have
now generally acquiesced to the result
that they may confidently rely that by
no such scheme or device will the state
be deprived of the result of its deliber-
ate choice.
It may disturb and protract the de-
termination; it will not change the re-
suit. w. E. SMITH,
Executive Committee.
THE CANvAssINa BOARDS
of every county in this state will meet
on Tuesday and begin the counting of
the votes. The first vote counted will
be for presid Dental electors, and as the
electoral tickets contain thirty-six
names, and the vote for every one OF
the electors must be counted separate
~, it will be seen that the official count
cannot be done in day in this city,
which has 712 election districts. The
state board Of canvassers meet in Al
bany, in the secretary of states Office,
on the Wednesday following the third
Monday of this month to count the
vote sent to them by counties. BY
special law the supreme court is en-
powered to correct errors made by the
county board of canvassers. For in
stance, if it is commended, say, by the
republicans, that there is an error in
the vote of certain district, as
passed upon by the board, the supreme
court can be appealed to to compel the
board to rectify the alleged error. If
the court sustains the view of the re-
publicans, it's order is final, and the
record as ordered by the court must
stand in place Of the original one.
spectors to correct only clerical errors,
tests as to certain records Of the vote
in various election districts in this
city and election precincts in the state
that the Republicans and Democrats
may lock horns on Tuesday and call in
the aid of the supreme court to deter
mine the disputed questions, The
counting Of the vote, in this City eS.
pecially, may not be ended, therefore,
for several days.
THE tssUN.o
The New York Sun Of Monday morn
ing says: 'sWhile we believe that the
official canvass Of the vote Of New
York, to be begun tomorrow by the
county boards, will show that Mr..
Cleveland is elected, it is nevertheless
true that the fact of his election is vet
to be established. The laws of New
York provide plain and straightfor-
ward method for ascertaining the
truth. Everything is done in the day
light. There will be no Louisiana
business here; no Florida business; no
infamous intrigues of the sort that Mr..
Carl SchurZ so properly denounced in
the Academy Of Music on Saturday
night. There is not the slightest evil
aence Of any intention on the part of
sither republicans or democrats to att
tempt to give the electoral votes Of
New York to the candidate who is not
entitled to those votes, If the official
canvass proves that Mr.. Cleveland has
by honest arithmetic a plurality Of IL
900, or of 10, or of vote in New = ork
state, the fact Of his election will be
established and he will be inaugural

can determine the result Of the cleo

now on a little less than 45O plurality
