 NEW YORK, Nov. 7--Matters concerning the election were taken up by the grand jury to-day. It is understood that they have al- ready foundindictments which charge certain persons with fraud in the canvass Inspec- tors and poll clerks in the various districts are required by law to furnish re- police election bureau and the Mayor, but returns from number of election and assembly districts have not been received and some of those received are incomplete. If it should appear that any of them have inn properly withheld the returns they will be prosecuted. The assistant district attorney assigned to investigate the matter is dispos- ed, however, to attribute their delinquency to ignorance in the majority of cases
 NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-The counting of the votes of New York county was begun in the county clerks office to-day. Eighteen of the twenty-four districts were counted and found to tally exactly with the figures previously given, The counting will be resumed at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-On the application of General Francis O. Barlow and Francis L. Stetson Judge Barrett to-day granted writ of mandamus requiring John J. O'Brien, chief of the bureau of elections, to permit representatives of the Democratic National committee to examine the returns of the presidential vote in this city in the bureau of elections.
 It is asserted that the Republican commit tee claim to have evidence to prove that the returns have been tempered with, particular ly in Kings, Queens, Ulster and St. Lawrence counties and that in one polling district alone in Ulster county Cleveland had a majority of 93 over the voting population. There is also in St. Lawrence county beyond the most liberal Republican estimate of their oppo- nents' strength. These and similar points, it is said, Mr. Elkins intends to use through competent counsel before the board of can vassers, entering a formal protest on the ground of fraud and put the presidential fight as a last resort into the courts.
 At late hour tonight the Tribune posted the following bulletin: Occasional dis patches correcting slight discrepancies in the returns still arrive, but give no important re- suits. It is obvious that the plurality on either side is so close that it can only be set tied by the official count.
 q of the various merchants Cleveland and Hendricks clubs in the Fifth Avenue Hotel tonight it was resolved that mass meeting of the merchants and citizens should be held at the Academy of Music tomorrow night 'ffor the pur- pose of giving expression to our sentiment of qualification and to rejoice over the peaceful conclusion of the political contest. , Among the gentlemen invited to address the meeting are Mr., Beecher, Hon. Carl Schurz, Hon. s. J. Randall. Hon. George William Curtis, Hon. Benjamin H. Bristow, Frederick R. Coudert and others.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 7.-An extra edition of the Telegram gives an interview with Agent French of the Associated Press, who says: "About Ii or 12 tonight we will give our footings and comparison with the figures of the county clerks. The election is very close and slight error in our footings or in the footings of the county clerks would throw the result either way. We have discovered errors in counties, the names of which I do not care to give just yet. These are errors by comparison of the county clerks. There was one serious error in the footings of the Associated Press. That occurred in Vest chester county and was caused by blurred figure which was taken for 8 e. That gave MT. Cleveland 800 more votes. But notwith- standing this MT. Blaine will still have a lead, but very slight one"
