Special Dispatch to the Boston Journa).
New YORK, Nov. SIN the midst of the
great activity at the Republican National
Headquarters today, Mr.. Fessenden found time
to say: "We are still confident that we have
this State, and according to our figures, which
have been gone over very carefully, Mr..
BlaiDes plurality will range between 1,100
and 400. We feel quite cheerful over the
situation. In close election like this, it is
the duty of every patriotic citizen to avoid
saying or doing anything of an infamnstory
character. This course oDr national commit
tee has studiously pursued. No good purpose
car be served by working excitable people iu-
to white heat. Iu due time the official fig
ures will speak for themselves, and We feel
certain they will speak for Blaine. Should t
happen, however, that Cleveland has plural
ity of the votes, We shall bow to the will of
the people and will 90 it with a good grace /"
you hold that there have been frauds per-
netr tied on the Republican party in the cleo
tions''
when the official canvass is made next
Tuesday, We will briDg out some startling facts
which will open the eyes Of the community.
1 cannot, at present, give even the evidence
in our possession for publication. 1t would
not be wise to advise our opponents OF the pre-
else course we intend to pursue and the frauds
on which We shall baSs our action. / can only
say that in many counties OF the State votes
have been illegally counted and illegally
thrown out, and that we shall take proper legal
measures to redress these wrongs"
