The situation Ia New York.
WHAT Tur sIS SAYS

Elw NoRE, Nov. S.-Tho sun says:
Ono OF the mos. remarkable features of
thi. exceedingly close and exciting
election has been the wide discrepancy
between vagious computations of tie res
suit in New York state, offered 20 the
public from different sources, Not only
have both sides claimed plurality Tor
their candidate, but their estimate has
hoon as much ~ 10000 apart. Although
il was apparent ON "Wednesday
morning that the result must
h. very close, the returns collected
bv the sun from every county in III"
state from the first indicated n small
plurality for Cleveland, and WHOM this
has been slowly cut down as the correct
figures have reached us, 1t seems now 10
have reached Il point where compara-
lively little change is likely 10 lie made
by further revision. Nhile ihc lssorih-
ted press returns from election districts
appeal to vary considerably FROM the
figures we obtained, and Ia give some
countenanco to the claim of the Repub
lican national committee that Blaine
has carried the state by small plural
ity, vet We have 80 far been unable IL
discover any reason for expecting any
material change in the result rs shown
BY our own carefully collected returns,
which give Cleveland plurality of ,2b
In this state.

The Tribune extra says; Estimates
as to the result in this state continue
nuctuating in such way as the returns
from time come in, as to show that
IL. f1
count will be Indispensable to determine
the result
The Commercial-Advertis says. this
afternoon: at seems generally agreed
to-day by law-abiding citizens that the
official vote must be awaited before the
question of who has carried New York
can be settled. There was no DISPOSE
zion, on the part of the Republicans to
deny the claims advanced by the Domo-
Gratis, The Republican POSITION was
thus Simply stated: The largest vote
ever cast in New York has been
polled; Il exceeds 100000. out OF this
Immense number of ballots, deposited
in thousands of boxes III the sixty coun-
lies OF the state, it is contended that
plurality of less than 500 votes has been
given. Mr.. Blaiue's friends do not
Gain an excess of that figure, nor do
Mr.. Cleveland's. The question is, who
has received this plurality? Thus far
UuOfflclal UgHreS nave ldJtu 10 sdL-
isfactorily demonstrate it. Both sides
have insisted that tho other was
beaten, and the great body of the people
will have none OF such decisions. The
question must 90 to the body that has
been legally constituted for
inst such purpose, and happily
that body il one i'll which
every fair aud reasonable man has the
profoundest confidence. This is the sit
nation TODAY, and it is one that will TO
maintained until the question is settled
in an official manner, and TO that no OBJ |
lection can he made by any man who
has the welfare Of his country at heart. |
Up to o'clock to day there has been no
change in The vote OF the state as re-
ported in the mor' ing papers. 1t then
stood with Cleyeland's plurality att 400.
