THE TWO CLAIMANTS.
The Question of the Presidency AS
Yet Undetermined.
New York Canvassing Board, the Courts
VIII Be Appealed to.

New YORK, Nov. 1.-THE situation in
New York is unchanged as to figures, and
both sides are supposed to be waiting pa
tiently for the official returns, It is only
the surface that is calm. Both parties are
stirred to the depths. Roscoe Conkling has
been retained by the Democratic National
Committee to act in any proceedings that
may arise in relation to the pending can
vass. Mr.. Conkling is in consultation at the
Hoffman House with members Of the COM
mittee of lawyers who have undertaken to
see fair count. William NJ. Evarts is to
be chief of the Republican counsel.
There are still evidences of general ex-
element among all classes, and opinions
and threats openly expressed on the public
streets are of nature to keep the author
titles on the alert. The New York Assoc
Grated Press has made elaborate arrange
ments to secure the certified official count of
returns throughout the State as fast as can
vassed to-day, and by midnight it is eX-
pected that final result will be reached so
that the action of the State Board can not
change it.
NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-Unless public opinion
is emphatic in its condemnation OF delay there
is no doubt but the Presidential contest will be
taken into the courts of this State. Prepare
ton for a hard legal STRUGGLED is being made by
both parties The Republicans have employed
able counsel headed by William NJ Evarts.
The Democrats are not permitting the grass
to grow under their feet. They have re-
quested Roscoe Conkling to represent them
before the State Board of Canvassers. He
| has not yet been heard from, but it is ex-
pected he will take the great case without
| hesitation.
NEW YORK Nov 1O--Two days have passed
| without either party in New York having dis
| covered any new fact to materially alter the
| situation as announced last Saturday. Cleve-
land plurality is placed in the neighborhood
| OF L3O0. To-day the returns of the district of
ficefs will go into the hands of the count Scan
vassers, who will compare them and
see that they correspond with the register
| of votes polled. The Republicans still
express confidence that the official returns
will show that Blaine has, carried the State by
| about the same plurality claimed for Cleve-
| land. Should their hopes not be realized by
| the result of the canyassing boards labors
| they say they will cordially acquiesce. From
dispatches received from all parts of the
| country it is lea@ned that in obedience to the
request of Chairman BarnuH, the ratification
| of the election of the Democratic candidates
was celebrated generally, Congratulatory
| teleg4ams continue to flow in upon Governor
| Cleveland by the hundred.
New YORK, Nov. 10.-The Republican Ma
] tiOnal Committee issued the following late
| Saturday night.
REPUBLICAN HEADQUARTERS, NEW YORK,
| Nov. 8.-The Republican National Committee
| is taking the most careful and thorough
measuresSto ascertain errors, if any have been
| committed, in the returns of the late election
| in the State of New York. If Mr.. Cleveland
shall be found to have plurality of even one
| vote prompt acquIeScence will follow from
| the Republicans of the United States. If Mr..
| Blaine shall be found to have
| q plurality of only one vote prompt
! acquiescence, viii be expected from the
/ of this committee, founded upon investiga-
| ton, is that Mr.. Blaine has plurality of sew
| eral hundred votes, and if that be SO every
honest man will demand that it be officially
| declared. Until the off1cial declaration be
made we ask the public to unite with us in an
| honorable effort to secure a perfectly fair
| count. Purity in elections is the Only safety
9 B. F. jones' Chairman.
The Democratic State Committee have issued
an address in which they charge that the Re-
| publican managers have determined las a last
| desperate resort to make of the boards of
| country canVaSSerS throughout the State,
| where controlled by them, so many returning
boards after the pattern of those not long
| since used by them in the Southern States.
| Wherever the boards fail them judicial orders
the partisanship of the boards in the first place,
| and of judges of their own political faith in
| the second, they Intend and expect to throw
| again into dispute the result of the election
and involve it in interminable litigation. To
| this end printed papers have been sent by
them to their agents and representatives in
| every county in the State of New York, to be
used with the courts whenever an occasion
/ can be manufactured" They call upon the
representatives OF the party in the various
| counties to be watchfl1l, and by every proper
| method resist and defeat this plan.
About fifty Democratic lawyers met last
night and discussed the law relating to boards
| of county canvasserS in the Wagons counties
| throughout the State The result of the dis
cusson is that Democratic lawyers will be
| present at every board of canvassers Tuesday
next for the purpose of taking prompt action
in case any Illegal act is attempted on the
| part of canvassersS
! New YORK, Nov. I.-Accordingto the latest
| dispatches the vote for Presidential Electors
| in the various States is as follows:
