Alabama ; 1913 in Louisiana; II in Georgia,

States average nearly 33 bushels; New York
returns 80 bushels, and Pennsylvania 81.
The quality of the corn is better than in 1883.
Nearly everywhere and in the northern
belt it is worth 25 to Is per cent. more.
THE CANVASS FINISHED.
A special New York dispatch of last Sat-
urday night, to the Charleston Sunday Ne,cs,
gives the following as the result of the
official count of the Presidential vote in the
State of New York:
The Blaine managers now unreservedly
confess that the jig is up, and they have
humbly laid aside their wind bag. To-
morrow they say they will vacate their
headquarters and thus end the campaign.
The vote of this State is now officially
counted, although the returns in three
counties are not yet certified. This is oW-
ing to the vote on local candidates not hav-
ing yet been canvassed. When this is fin
ished, which will be either Wednesday or
Thursday at the latest, then the signatures
ever, no possibility that the vote as now re-
ported can be changed single vote. The
Republicans know this, apd therefore unan-
imously concede that Cleveland has carried
the State. There is yet small difference
concerning Cleveland's plurality. The Dem
octatic State Committee figures it at 1,O95,
the Times figures on 1,105, the World at
1,l07, while the Sun foots it at 1888. This
plurality is based on the vote cast for Orland
Ottendorfer, the head of the electoral ticket,
who was scratched in some localities and
who is therefore one or tWo-hundred votes
behind the other thirty-five electors. Clev-
lands actual plurality, therefore, is about
,25O. The Democratic State Committee to-
finished the fight. The National Commit
tees headquarters will be kept open for a
week longer, in order to settle up the odds
and ends of the canvass. Tonight the pro-
fessional betting men begun to pay off, and
by midnight had settled majority of their
bets.
BLAINE ACKNOWLEDGES HIS DFFEAT.
A dispatch of last Saturday from Angus
ia, Maine, to the Boston Herald says:
Mr.. Blaine regards the official count in
New York as practically settling the Presi-
dental question. Blaine, it is stated on the
best authority, received this afternoon a
telegram from New York announcing the
completion of the official canvass in that
city and informing him that the plurality
for Cleveland in that State would be l, ,137.
The same authority says Blaine accepts the
result very cheerfully, and has no regrets
growing out of his connection with the cam
paign. He feels that he made good fight,
and he gracefully bows to the verdict of the
American people. He believes the Repub-
lican party will prove true to its grand past,
and will increase in strength with the COM
ing years. He expects that in 1888 it will
again be called back into power. Blaine
leaves for Washington the middle of next
week, where his family will spend the
winter.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FIGURES.
The following are the figures as compiled
in the New York Office of the Associated
Press:

makes Cleveland's plurality in the State
1,07S.
A TAMMANY CELEBRATION.
The Tammany general committee met at
the wigwam last Saturday night and cele-
brated the election of Cleveland and Hen
bricks. Speeches were made by ex-Speaker
Samuel j. Randall, John Kelly, Congress-
man S. S. Cox and others. Randall paid
tribute to Tammany for its faithful efforts
to bring success to the Democratic ticket.
Kelly defended himself and Tammany Hall
against the charges of disloyalty to Cleve-
land, and challenged those who make the
charges to measure characters with him.
THE PURPOSE OF CHARGING FRAUD ADAM
DONED.
A special dispatch of Saturday from New
York to the Washington STAR says:
1t is a source of much satisfaction to all
concerned that the election count will GER
tainly be completed by Monday, and prob
ably tonight. Although no formal an
nouncement has been made to that effect, it
is understood that the purpose to advance
any charges of fraud has been abandoned
by Bliss and his associate counsel. This is
that contingencies may yet come, in which
it will be deemed eXpedient to report evil
dences of fraud. The Democratic commit
tee this morning, after once more going
over their figures, say that the final result
will not vary fifty from their standing esti-
mate, and the absolute silence of the Repub-
lican committee when applied to is accepted
as proof that they, at last, admit the correct
ness of the Democratic figures.
BUSINESS IN NO DANGER.-It is contend
ed in some quarters that if Cleveland is de-
cared President various industries will pre-
pare to restrict the sphere of their opera
tions, and that in some instances there will
be complete suspension of work. This
will be believed when it is seen. Business
men have not the time nor perhaps the in
clination to familiarize themselves with eco
nomic questions and are aptto depend upon
their party newspapers for information. If
these papers told them bluntly that one-half
of the people were plotting to destroy the
whole country, the sensible business man
would say that fools had taken possession Of
the editorial rooms. But when the same
newspapers hotly contend that great po-
litical party is going to enforce policy |
which will cripple the manufacturing in
dustries of the country, the same business
men, too often accept what is said as words
of unquestioned wisdom.
That is to say, they may believe it before
election. After the election when decision
