THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
The Contest In Doubt The Election Ne
pepds ON New York State-BOth Sides
Claim small Pluralities.


and both sides persistently claim the State
by small pluralities. It is believed that the
official returns in full wilI.be required to de-
termine the result. The margin is so narrow,
aud the result so important, that it is believed
there will be great and bitter contests.
All that the masses Of the people of the
United States want in this matter is fair play,
and all good citizens should depend, for the
peace of the country, upon rigorous respect
for the law, and final Submission to the forms
of legality. Below we give the returns, so
far as heard from:
