Declaring That Cleveland and Hen.

Headquarters National Democratic Committee,
AeD YORK, SoUen.ber 6, 1884, 1920 %. M
The national democratic committee announces
to the people OF the United States that Grover
Cleveland and Thomas A. Hendricks have carried
two hundred and nineteen electoral votes for the
offices OF President and Vice President The states
Which have declared in their favor are Alabama,
Arkansas Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia
Indiana. Kentucky, Louisiana. Maryland, Misss-
DINA. South Carolina. Tennessee, Texas, Virginia
and West rg.nia, casting In all two hundred and
nineteen electoral votes, eighteen electoral votes
more than sufficient to elect. No fraud or COntri-
vance can defeat the will Of the people of the
United States thus publicly and deliberately de-
ciared. A. p GORMAN Chairman
Address OF the Republican Committee
Claiming that Blaine and Logan
Have 2s3 Electoral Votes.
''HeadquaT-ters Republican National Committee,
2l2 FUth ACenue, Ne,o York city, November
The republican national committee rejoices that
the returns now received warrant 1t in an
nouncinS the triumphant election OF Blaine
and Logan. The republicans have carried
every northern state except New Jersey and Con-
necticut Virginia seems also to have given a ma
jortty for the republican cause and ticket, and
there IS strong probability that West Virginia
mas aiso While other southern states are still in
DOUBT. The northern states alone, however, give
to Blaine and Logan 233 electoral votes and insure
their election.
IN New FORK attempts 10 tamper with the re-
turns nave already been detected. The actual
vote cast IN New york city. Kings county and
le32 other election precintcs, gave at the utmost
only l4s plurality TO Grover Cleveland. while the
lb3 precincts, not yet heard from, gave 2,lT plu-
raiity TO Garfield. There Is therefore, grou nd
Tor doubt that the honest vote OF the state has
been given 70 the republican candidates. and though
the defeated candidate for the presidency is the
head OF the election machinery in this state, the
uelnocratlc party which has VIGOROUSLY been the
party OF fraud in elections for years. will not be
permitted TO thWart the Will Of the people.
The national republican committee calls on the
chalrmen and the individual members of all
county committees TO take the promptest and most
stringent means 10 protect the sanctity of the ballot
box. The republican candidates have been honestly
elected beyond question. Any attempt to cheat
the people, and 10 defeat their Will thus expressed
at the polls, must be starniy exposed and resisted
by every law-respecting citizen.

the sum of the district totals would be detected and
