Gus on The part Of the Associated Press agent .
TO assume that the county clerks figures are
less reliable or less likely TO be correct
than those Of unofheial individuals
employed by the Associated Press. When 70
this is added the fact that the figures fur
nished by the various county clerks through
out the state are fully corroborated from the
figures obtained from correspondents Of
every newspaper in New York which has
shown enterprise or ability enough to get
the returns for Itself, it was worse than
imbecile 10 suppress them until the last
moment.
To-day the agent of the Associated Press
is again at work on the figures. He prom
revision OF the two sets OF figures. II the
work is done well and honestly it can give
only one result, viz: To substantate the
plurality Of Cleveland BY at least 1000. The
figures OF the Sun can't be made 70 swervs
from this result. Slight errors have been
corrected to-day from election districts
ranging through seventeen counties, but the
only result Is TO add thirty-two votes 10 the
plurality accorded Mr.. Cleveland yesterday,
making it now 1896. in place OF l,204. The
figures given In the second edition OF the
San this morning. The Times figures are
substantially the same. Those Of the Word
are 1871, aud Of the Herald 1900. Other
Cleveland papers give larger pluralties, but
are probably not so reliable. The figures Of
the San and Times are absolutely correct
Both papers have tapped every authentic
source Of information, both Dem
ocrstic and Republican. 70 the
most remote precincts in every county
in the state, and the result is invarisble.
Nothing bnt the official canvass Of the vote
can by any possibility change it.
IN contradistinction 10 the conservative
and common sense methods employed by
the newspapers mentioned above TO reach b
speedy and correct solution Of a controversy
which at one time yesterday seemed likely to
end in a serious riot, may be noted the loose
and unsatisfactory means TO gain the
same ends by the organs in
this city OF Mr.. Blaine.
Absolutely withoat figures, save those Of the
Associated Press, which the public justly
regarded with suspicion, they contented
themselves with stoutly asserting that Blaine
had carried the state, and Immediately set
ting up TIE cry Of fraud. When the Asso-
ciated Press figures finally went against
them, the Blaine organs repudiated the very
authority upon which they had previously
pinned their faith and refused to believe
the figures furnished them. This raised a
storm of indignation that came very near
an open revolt
The GLOBE correspondent talked with
many prominent business men Of this city
to day who are Republicans and warm sup
porters of Mr.. Blaine, but who openly de-
nounce as idiotic the course Of the Tribune
in refusing to print in its first edition its
press dispatch giving the state 10
Cleveland, and 1aunting in its
columns flag which falsely asserted
that New York was for Blaine. In
an extra dated o'clock, but not for sale
until $50, the Tribune prints the dispatch
referred to, but added that it did not believe
1t to be true.
These gentlemen pointed out that this
same organ weakly deserted the cause II
. championed on the morning after the cleo
! ton, and could barely hope that the Repub
: lican ticket ''would yet pull through" II
was also pointed out that the same
paper gave up the fight the morning aftei
election Of 1876, and was only wheeled
again into line the next day. These fact
tend TO throw discredit upon its presen
I loud assertions that its candidate is elected
and can only be thrown out by fraud.
