CANYASSlNG THE VOTE.
NEW YORK, November IL, (midnighD Up
to this hour the result of the battle for presi-
dental electors has been declared in 33 Of the
70 counties of this state. The last previous re-
ports OF county clerks showed democratic
plurality OF $50 To-day's canvass shows
net loss to Blaine Of four votes. The remain
Ing 81 countless with two exceptions have re-
ported progress, and will for the most part re-
| port the result of their canvass tomorrow To-
| days reports speak of Irregularities in form.
No mention is made of any serious discrepan-
cy In the count. Several counties which did
not to-day complete their official canvass, re-
ported there was no reason to believe that when
completed, the figures would show any change
| from those already given. The canvassed re-
| turns received by the democratic state commit
tee from twentyfour counties indicated
change OF SIX votes in favor of Blaine against
sixty lin Livingston) in favor of Cleveland. No
returns have been received by the republican
national headquarters, and Chairman Draper
OF the republican state executive committee
could not be found. General John N Knapp,
a stalwart republican from Auburn, said he be-
lieved the official canvass would make no ma
terial change in the published returns.
THE QUEENS COUNTY COUNT.
NEW YORK, November 11.-Queens county
supervisors sent back the returns of nine dis
tricts to the inspectors. In each case the in
spectors had failed to give the total number of
votes cast. When the returns from the first |
district of the first ward of Long Island city, |
were presented, counsel representing the re-
publican state committee questioned their |
validity, claiming they were not signed by a |
properly qualified inspector. He said he had |
been told that Heaney, chairman of the board |
of inspectors, left the polling place, received
no ballots, and had not been present when
they were counted, and that another person
had taken his place and signed the returns,
without being duly qualified. Supervisor
Mclaughlin suggested that the objections of
the counsel were interfering with the work of
the board and moved the canvass proceed.
This course was adopted, and no further no
tice was taken of counsels objection.
AT THE CAPITAL.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE republicans have
been very much more encouraged to-day.
Their new hopes are based not only upon the
very confident public declarations of the ma
tional committee In New York, but on private
assurances received here by mail and telegraph
and by statements of experienced republicans
who have arrived here These statements are ,
that the national committee has evidence that
cannot be disputed of such extensive frauds at
vital points as to convince honest men and the S
boards OF the claim that Blaine Is 4
Justly entitled to the plurality in the state. 1
| he details OF the information are not given.
secretary Fessenden is reported to have said
that he could not furnish them even U
o Mr.. Blaine himself. The committee, these s
Gentlemen say, simply ask the pco- II
lie to keep cool, maintain their patience, I,
