NEw YORK, November THE Repub-
ucan National committee deny chat
Mr. Blame IS coming to New York for
conference with them" They say they
. have no means Of determining the re

ton district returns,n and that they
will only take such stages as may be
necessary to protect the party's inter
est during the progress of the count,
ana 10 this end counsel will appear be
lore the county eanvassing board next
Tuesday. The committee saw they
want nothing but fair play and what
the law allows, in the determination OF
the result by those authorized to pass
upon the returns, and this, as a matter
OF course, they were bound to insist
upon.
CHICAGO, November 7.-Ex-Speaker
Keller, referring to the New York Sans
statement that the,conteSt over the New
York vote would throw the election of
President III the House of Represent
atlyeS, said to-day, that the vote Of New
York must be counted one way or
another. There was no precedent for
throwing 1t out. In 1876 the votes Of
Louisiana and Florida were counted in,
and whether New York went Demo
cratic or Republican, it could not be
thrown out. Cleveland would have 1873
and Blaine 1S2 electoral votes, and
neither having 201 the election would go
| to Congress. In this event, Mr.. Keller
| said, Logan would be Vice President, as
the Senate elected that officer. The ex-
Speaker, had no idea, however, that
! any such result would come about. He
/ had no hesisancF N saying the vote of
New York would be counted one way or
another.
AUGUSTA, November a Latest adj
! vices received here from New York are
to the effect that the Republican COM
mite, State and national, after careful
examination of the whole ground, are
satisfied that the State has gone to
Blaine and Logan. They say that q
correct count wiz show small Repub-
lican plurality, and that they have taken
steps TO establish the facts Mr Dlaine'S
residence was crowded all day, many
prominent citizens from distant parts
of the State arriving. The interest in
the result in New York IS grow
ing every hour. This afternoon,
Blaine talked freely about the situation.
He said to q distinguished citizen of
Maine: Il feel entirely confident that
the honest vote Of New York, without
change or manipulation, will show
a plurality for the Republican
! electors of not less than 1900
votes. do not speak idly, but
! from the most accurate data, carefully
furnished me from the most competent
2 sources. Blaine added that the dis
patch of Daniel Manning, published
Yesterday, contained the most arrogant
J and offensive threats to control the
= election returns in the interest of the
Democratic ticket ever made in any
northern State, and equaled the
worst bUll-dozing prociamations that
were ever issued in the south.
2 He thought its effect would be to arouse
> the law abiding citizens OF New York,
who canpot afford 10 have their State
5 reduced to the level OF lawlessness pre-
vailing IN South Carolina and MissiS-
sippi The gentleman asked Blaine if
he felt much disappointment over the
: possible prospect OF losing the Presi-
4 answered: II do not feel so in any
) personal sense, but profoundly so. on
2 account of the vast national interest de-
. pending upon the. result. feel great
U pride that no imputation of fraud has
C ever been seriously uttered against
a members of the Republican party in any
n State OF district l do not believe the
n American people will accept fraudu-
7, lent result. The Republicans have car
= Tied the northern States by more than
100000 majority, and they do not pro
e pose to have the leading State taken
II from them by fraud"
