THURSDAYS NEWS.
The day was a repetition of the day be-
fore, the morning bringing better news for
Republicans than had the night, and dur
ing the day members of both parties were
hot and cold by turns.
Towards night a dispatch was received
announcing that Daniel Manning Chair
man of the Democratic State Central Com
mittee of New York had sent the following
to the New York Evening Post: "By the
official returns reported from every county
Cleveland and Hendricks have carried
New York State by a safe and sure major
ity, and no Vaccinations or false claims or
pretended doubts of Blaine's managers can
change this result. The friends of honest
government and honest elections can be
everywhere assured that the Democratic
State Board of Canvassers will see that the
trq9ee vote is correctly described;
Almost Immediately afterwards the fol
lowing address Of the National Republican
committee was received;
HEADQUARTERS REPUBLICAN NATIONAL
COMMITTEE. New York, Nov. 3.
The Republican National committee re-
iOiCes that the returns now received war
.
election Of Blaine and Logan. The Re
pubhcans have carried every Northern
State, except New Jersey and Connecticut,
Virginia seems also to have given
a majority for the Republican cause and
ticket, and there is a strong probability that
West Virginia has also, while other South
ern States are still in doubt. The Northern
States alone, however, give Blaine and LO-
gan 233 electoral votes and insure their cleo
tOral votes and insure their election. In
New York, attempts to tamper with the re-
turns already have been detected. The ac-
tual vote cast in New York City, Kings
county and ], 852 other election precincts
give at the utmost only 148 plurality to
Grover Cleveland, while 1913 precincts not
heard from gave2, III plurality to Carried.
There is, therefore, no ground for doubt
that The honest vote Of the State has been
given to the Republican candidates, and
though defeated. the candidate for the
Presidency is at the head Of the election
machinery in this State. The Democratic
party which has VIGOROUSLY been she
party of fraud in elections for years, viii
not be permitted to thWart the will of the
people.
The National Republican committe calls
on the Chairman and individual mem bers
of county committees to take the prompt
est and most stringent means to protect the
sanctity of the ballot. The Republican
candidates have been honestly elected be-
yOnd question. ANY attempt to cheat the
people and to defeat their viii, thus eZ-
pressed at the polls, must be surely exposed
and resisted by every laW-respeC citizen.
(Signed,) B. +. JONES, Chairman.
SAMUEL FEssENDEN, City Chairman.
There was great excitement at Albany.
Late in the afternoon the Democrats began
to iubilate and fired hundreds of guns in
honor Of the election of Cleveland. The
Governor was clOseted with his private
Secretary all the morning. CCngratulatOrY
kilograms continually poured in. AT two
o'clock Cleveland received q telegram from
the Democratic National Committee con-
graduating him on the result. Mayor Har-
risOn, Of Chicago, telegraphed that Illinois
would give q Democratic lOrlUy Of from
3, 900 to 1000.
At New York City the intense excite
ment on the street assumed tone of bitter
ness. Good nature seemed to be vanishing
and trouble was expected The entire police
force was on duty and reserves held at each
precinct. The Cleveland and Hendricks
Business Mems committee called q mass
meeting to be held IN Wall street on Fri
day, to take such action as would prevent
the Republicans from stealing the vote of
New York, but subsequently at another
meeting the mass meeting was postponed
The Evening Post published the following:
. eve believe it to be our duty TO caution
the friends of Blaine that any attempt to
subvert the viii Of the people by tampering
with the returns viii be perilOus. The
populace, in case of fraud in the returns,
could not be restrained. AS much as We
violence, we fear that turbulence
and blOOdshed would be the result. Be
ware"
The Cleveland papers continued to Dulle-
tin favorable returns, while the Blaine pa
pers were as hopeful. It was reported once
that the Tribune conceded the State but
that was officially denied Thursday night
