Especial Telegram TO the Globe
New YORK, Nov. 10.-Unless public opin-
ion is emphatic in its condemnation of de-
lay, there is no doubt but the presidential
contest will be taken into the courts of this
state. Preparations for hard legal struggle
are being made by both parties. The Re-
publicans have employed able counsel,
headed by VIM. NJ. EVarts. The Democrats are
not permitting the grass to grow under their
feet. They have requested Roscoe Conkling
to represent them before the state board of
canvassers. He has not yet been heard
from, but it is expected he will take the great
case without hesitation. In mercantile and
financial circles the turn affairs are taking is
viewed with little less than alarm.
Should the quarrel be prolonged,
it will prove disastrous to the
business interests of the country Even
staunch Republicans seem to be convinced
that Cleveland and Hendricks have carried
this state, and Ellins and Jones will get no
aid or comfort from the mass of their party
unless they can show that they have
solid ground for making contest. jones'
conflicting proclamations have destroyed what
character he once had for veracity, and
among the reputable men of the party
Elkins' boasts and threats have no weight
whatever. The detection of Gould has had
great influence, in-as-much as that magnate
was known to be Mr.. Blaines staunch COM
panion and hot friend, and Van
derbilt's letter of congratulation to
Cleveland indicates that the moneyed
men of the nation will soon speak out
plainly against the designs of desperate men
to Mexicsnize the United States. The pulpit,
too, is not silent.
''No longer the candidate of party,'' said
the Rev. Heber Newton in his sermon yes
terday, ''but the elected ruler
of nation, Grover Cleveland
goes into the White house with
the past blotted out from the consciousness
of the people, with new career of still
higher honors green before him in which to
prove himself worthy of this magnificent
vindication.'
The Democratic papers assert this morn
ing that the policy of the Republican mana
gers is to manipulate the returns
by the aid of legal proceedings and
inducing Republican boards of supervisors tc
throw out votes on the ground of alleged ir
regularities. They positively state that invi-
tations have been sent to Messrs. Dudley,
New, Evarts and many other prominent Re-
publicans, west and east, to come to New
York to assist in carrying out this plan.
The Times says about 200 such invitations
are sent out. and adds, ''the repititon of the
visiting statesmen feature of the campaign
of 1876 is about to be attempted in New
VI ;netaad Of Florida
s.In taking this step, says the Times, t'Mr.
Blaine and his agents have revealed their
desperation and their ignorance of the char
acter of our people. The voters of New York
state have intelligence and patriotism enough
10 insure a fair count. Visiting statesmen are
not wanted Our people are not so dishonest
that they should not be allowed to canvass
election returns until some western politi-
ticians look over their shoulders and check
every figure"
Mr.. B. F. Jones, chairman of the Republi-
can national committee, .pronounces these
charges false in every particular. 81 know
nothing of the whereabouts or movements of
either Mr.. New or Mr.. Dndley." He says
Mr.. Evarts was engaged few days ago to
take charge of whatever legal affairs the com
mittee might have. He returned to the city
last night. The committee did not summon
him"
The Herald is violently denunciatory, and
its words are full Of warning to would-be
