state; Fred C. Chaplin, Democrat, comp
troller; Elnathan Sweet, Democrat, state
engineer and surveyor; Dennis oBrien,
Democrat, attorney general; and ROBERT
A. Maxwell, Democrat, state treasurer.
If at any time one or more
of those fail to attend the meeting OF the
board, the vacancies are filed by calling In
the mayor and recorder of the city OF Albany.
Both of these are Democrats. These facts
and q general misunderstanding as to the
duties of these officers have been the
subject to-day Of many rumors as

returns The law governing the action OF
these officers is so strict and their duties are
SO clearly defined, that any manipulation OF
the returns Is
ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE

will meet in the various counties and
canvass the returns. Their duties are purely
clerical. They simply add up the local
returns of towns election districts and wards,
certify to their accuracy, and transmit cerh-
fed returns to the secretary Of state.

| Nov z, 1SS4-To the People of the United
States: There can no longer be any question
! concerning the actual result of the presidential
election. Grover Cleveland and Thomas A
Hendricks have majority of eighteen in the
electoral college It is not worth while for ouI
adversaries to claim the electoral vote OF the
State of New York. 1t is absolutely certain that
the returns of the proper officers Of election on
the night of the 4th of November showed a
decisive plurality in the state for the electors
supporting Cleveland and Hendricks
If anv different or altered returns are
now being prepared or are promulgated, they
are corrupt falsifications of the records of the

ting the making of such reports are criminals
1t is not expected that you will tamely submit
to the Vaccinations of such men. Let then
understand that you will not. Recognize a
noon tomorrow throughout the United States
the actual election of Cleveland and Hendricks
by firing national salutes. Meet tomorrow night
throughout the country and express your opin.
ions in manner that cannot be misunderstood
The men of New York are resolved not to sub
nit to the gross outrage attempted to be per
petrated upon their rights and will speak fol
themselves. lSignedl
