The last dispatch Thursday night brought
an address from the Republican National
committee as follows: In view Of the
claims Eaede as to the result of the election
in New York, the Republican State COM
mittee make it their duty to announce that
while the vote is very close, the returns and
estimates from the most authentic
sources Justify the belief that the people OF
this state have cast a plurality in favor of
the Republican candidates. We have re-
ceived copies of the official returns as filed
IN the several county clerks offices IN all eX-
Cept eleven counties. Besides this We have
caused a careful denomination to be
made Of the returns forwarded to police
headquarters in New York and Kings
counties. From the remaining nine cOun-
ties we have procured direct information
from the most reliable sources and feel JUS
titled in asserting with entire confidence
that the State has gone Republican. The
result thus arrived at is confirmed by an
entirely different investigation, based on
the returns collected directly from every
election district in the State.

Chairman.

Tality to be III. The Sun claimed 2O5

Albany, n. Y, November 6.-The Albany
journal OF Thursday evening said: On
Tuesday the Boards Of Supervisors meet in
the various counties to count and ascertain
the returns. Their duties are purely cler-
ical. They simply add up the total returns
of the election districts and wards and GER
tify to the accuracy and transmit the certi-
fed retarns to the Secretary of State. Dur
ing this month the State Board of canvass
ers, consisting of Secretary Carr, COmptrOl-
Ter Chaplin, Attorney General U Brlen,
State Treasurer Maxwell and State Engi-
neer Sweet, meet in this city and add up
the totals of the Supervisors returns from
the counties, and the result is the official
vote of the State and according to that re
suit certificates of election are issued by the
State Board to the Presidential electors who
have been chosen.
The Albany Argus (Dem.) said Thursday
night: mo fraudulent commission Will be
allowed to put James @. Blaine in the
White House or keep Grover Cleveland out

and that we viii nOtPermit."
General Carr, Secretary of State and Re
publican, says: There is no chance Of
stealing this State, not so long as 1 have
any charge of the affair. I don't propose
that any body shall steal the State. If Mr..
Cleveland has a plurality, large or small,
