FIGURES OF THE PAPERs.
The Morning Journal of Friday morning
will say that Cleveland has apparently a
plurality of 1852 in this state. He has
gained eighteen votes so far in this city, and
eight in Brooklyn. Oswald O~ttendorfer,
the head of the Cleveland electoral ticket,
has been cut about seventy-fve votes in this
city, and he will have a close shave to pull
through. The World Friday morning makes
Cleveland's plurality 1857, and says the
indications are that his plurality in this city
will be increased on all electors save one.
The Times figures Cleveland's plurality at
1896. The Sun and Star agree on 1904.
THE HERALD,
in its summar of the vote of New York by
counties, as far as ascertained by the official
count, gives Cleveland a plurality of
1,254 votes. In the case of SIX
counties, however, when the canvassers
adjourned, owing to some techn,cality
and where the pluralities may be changed,
unofficial figures are given. The votes for
Butler and st. John are as follows: St John,
22, 100; Butler, 1850. In the counties
already canvassed there is no material
change in majorities since yesterday. Blaine
h has gained in oS Se vote yow,ena in o coa 1ni,
two votes in Schuyler, making his net
gain l vote. Cleveland has gained 6 votes
i'll Kings, and lost 10 in Oneida, making his
net loss 4 votes. This reduces Gevcland's
plurality by 5 votes, making it now 1854.
Only three counties have not furnished the
official result-Franklin, Greene and New
York.
OBJECTS TO A TAINTED TITLE.
Boston Special: The Advertiser to-day
distinguished New York Democrat writes
to Mr.. Blaine, with whom he has
been on terms of friendship for
many years, complaining of . the
course of the Republican committee and ex-
pressing the hope that Blaine himsels is
making no attempt to influence the count of
votes at New York. Mr.. Blaine replied by
asking in what possible manner he could in
tluence it, and adds:
In the whole controversy I have had no desire
except for q fair count and an honest declaration
of the result. l have seen no other request made
by the Republican national nor by
any CT it's members. They acted on their judg-
ment at every step, and need not advice from me.
! do not wish any political supporters of mine
of the mere technical defects in the returns
where the honest intention of the voter is ex.
pressed. I'would far rather lose than gain by
the exclusion of returns on technical grounds.
The presidency is not desirable if it has the re-
hottest faint on the title. Promotion of that
kind no more leads to honor than the possession
of forged paper leads to wealth.
