ponce anu press returns mere found that the
difference would be made up in the districts
to be canvassed.
SLIGHT BASIS OF REPUBLICAN HOPES.
The Mail and Express this afternoon says:
The official canvass Of the vote Of this state is
IN progress to-day. But lew changes were made
by the canvassers yesterday. 1t is now gener-
ally conceded that If the vote of the counties
above Harlem bridge cannot be changed to af-
feet Cleveland's plurality an accidental error
may entirely wipe out his plurality. and on this
alone are based the hopes of the Republicans.
At midnight forty of the sixty counties had been
heard from officially. They gave a net gain Of
thirty-three for Cleveland, leaving his plurality
at 1,225. according to the claims Of the Demo-
Gratis. This practically ends any probability of
any serious increase to Blaine's majorities.
In the rural ~fDunties, although it is fair to bear
IN mind that where gains are expected the can
yass Is DELAYED, and a case may yet be presented
made up. The total number of votes upon
which, in some form or other, George Bliss ex-
poets to take exception to the informal count
already had is about 1000. About one-thirt
OF these are defective or blank ballots, and the
rest are Butler and St. John and other votes
which were miscounted, excluded or otherwise
aided to swell the Cleveland vote.
NEW YORK, Special Telegram, Nov. 70
from official returns received from about
fifty counties, and taking previous figures
for the remaining ten counties, the Sun this
morning puts Cleveland's plurality at 1909.
The Times says it will be l ,246. The World
sticks to 1917. The Tribune says:
If the present majorities in New York and
BROOKLYN should be sustained, 1t would leave
Cleveland a plurality Of 1,112 in the state. 1t
seems certain that the official count will reduce
this, but how much, cannot yet be known. None
Of the counties in the interior. from which the
state and national committees were led to ex-
pec5 corrections, seem so far to have made
material changes. Ulster and Albany es-
pecially failed to confirm the reports on
which the Blaine plurality had .been
increased. Nearly all the facts, therefore, show.
