IoMe People OF the United States:
There can no longer be any question con-
cerning the actual result Of the prcsiden-
tial election. Grover Cleveland and Thomss
a. Hendricks have eighteen electoral
votes more than are necessary 10 elect
them. Ii is not worth while for our al.
yersaries TO claim the electoral vote OF
the State Of New York. IL is abso-
lutey certain that the returns o! the proper
officers Of election on the night OF the 4th
of November showed decisive plurality
in the State for the electors supporting
Grover Cleveland and Thos. A. Hendricks.
II any different OF altered returns are now
being prepared, or are promulgated, they
are corrupt falsfications OF the records Of
the State Of New York, and the men aiding
or abetting the making OF such reports are
criminals. 1t Is not expected that you will
tamely submit TO the Vaccinations oil such
men: let them understand TINT YOU Will
recognize at 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 opinions In
manner that cannot be misunderstood.
The men OF New York are resolved not
to submit to the gross outrage attempted ID
be perpetrated upon their rights and Will
speak for themselves.
