BLAINE MAKING NO GAINS
THE CHANGES ON EACH SIDE
OFFSETTING EACH OTHER.

A Big Discrepancy Discovered In One
of the New York Districts, but the
Democrats to Make 1t Up Elsewhere
Albany County Found Corr ect as Pre-
viOusIy Reported.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE board of
county canvassers resumed its session to-
day. TIE room was sfilled with politicians
and lawyers representing the Republican
and Democratic parties. Committees on
Protests and Corrected Returns were ap-
pointed. The canvass of the First Assem-
bly, district was begun. 1t was found
after proceeding a short way down the
district that the Democratic electoral
ticket was not properly filled in and that
there were clerical discrepancies or omis-
siOns. On motion the whole district was
referred to the Committee on Corrected
Returns.
Thirty-nine counties which had reported
officially up to O'Clock made some slight
changes from their last previous figures.
The greatest variation was in Jefferson
county, where Blaine gains 8. Blaine's
total gain in the thirty-nine counties is
IL votes and his total losses 7. All of
Cleveland's pluralities have remained un-
changed. Blaine's net gain so far in the
canvass, therefore, has been 4 votes. Ac-
ceptlng the figures of the County Clerks
for the rest of the counties in the State,
this makes Cleyelands plurality 1,276.
Forty-fOur counties of New York heard
from up to O'Clock effected further slight
changes in the figures. CleVeland's plu-
rality remains at 1890, being that given
In the table of returns to the County
Clerk as published in the New York Times
OF Sunday. The detailed figures are not
identical with fhOCa Of hof fo1,I -,
changes effected by the canvass by the
county boards exactly balance. The
counties yet to be heard from are Albany,
BrOOme, ChenangO, Columbia, Delaware,
Franklin, Greene, Kings, Monroe, New
York, Niagara, Oneida, st. Lawrence.
Schuyler and Sullivan. The changes in
the detailed vote are in nine counties, all
of which gave pluralities for Blaine.
The board OF canvassers of New York
county examined the returns of the first
three Assembly districts to-day. A few
differences from the press reports pub
lisbed on Wednesday morning were dis
covered, but nothing was found that will
materially affect Cleveland's plurality as
published. 1t is estimated that Oswald
OttendOrter, who has fewer votes than
any other Democrat. may fall 100 votes
behind.
The official canvass OF twenty wards in
Kings county shows a gain of 80 votes for
Cleveland and , for Blaine.
The political headquarters in this city
have been very quiet tonight. No pOliti-
clans of note were to be seen at either.
Both sides are patiently awaiting for the
result of the official canvass. A change
favorable to Blaine of 233 votes in the
Seventeenth election district of the Sec
Ond Assembly district, as against the
press returns published on We'd
nesdaY morning last, was made
by the board of canvassers
Of this county, but on careful comparison
made between each of the election dis
tricts of the police returns and those of
the press, it has been found that the diff
ference will be made up in the districts to
be canvassed, except, possibly, on the
name OF Oswald OttendOrfer, who runs
behind the other electors ON the Demo-
cratic ticket.
