Then the News, a paper with l50,.
600 circulation among workingmen
principally published this card at the
head OF its columns:
"Beware! Cleveland is elected. We
believe it to be our duty to caution
the friends of Blaine that any attempt
to subvert the will Of the people by
tampering with the returns will be
perilous. The populace, in case oi
fraud in the returns, could not be re-
strained. As much as we deprecate
violence, we fear turbulence and
bloodshed would be the result, Be-
ware"
1t looked just then to the people as
if Jay Gould, aided by the Western
Union and the Tribtnue, was,endeav-
oring to save something from the
wreck of his candidate. 1t was re-
ported over and over again that Gould
had millions at stake on the success
of Blaine.
The Missouri Pacific Railroad case
comes up in the United States Court
soon to test to legality Of the stocks
and bonds which is claimed Gould
rraudulently issued, and the Pacific
Railroad owe the government $780,
100000, which they will be called to
pay up with the Democrats in pow
er.
If ever man had much at stake
on an election, it was Jay Gould, and
this fact gave him the full credit for
the curious and tragmentary in which
the Associated Press has furnished
the returns of this State and the con-
stant claim by his agents and the
Tribune that Blaine was elected in
the face Of four different sets OF figures
carefully collected and diligently re-
yised. More conservative people
held that Gould was simply using
the great power of the Associated
Press for stock iobbing purposes
thinking that by holding the matter

stocks or lay new wires.
This was the view taken by men

that this afternoon the Western Un,

Elections OF careful men were not the
opinion of the thousands who throng
ed the streets andwho muttered ours,

demonstrations violent, but there was
I sullen virulence about the remarks
of Democrats and Independents tha
were particular dangerous.
1t was reported in the late after
noon that 100 detectives had beer
sent out by the Democratic manager
who were bound to strain every nerv,
to protecr Cleveland votes and tt

There was considerable reticenct
at the headquarters, but Mr.. Smally
who wasin charge, smiled confident

"We don't propose to be cheated
this time. One Presidency is enough
to lose in a century" And DaI
Menning telegraphed from Albany
that the official returs from every
county showed that Cleveland and
Hendrick had been elected by safe
and sure majority, and that the Dem

would see that the true vote was cor
