DEMOCRATIC PROCLAMATION.
AN ALLEGED REPUBLICAN, SCHEME
NEW YORK, Nov Carbohydrates Demo-
cratic State Committee. Hoffman House, New
York, Nov. 8, 1SS4-We deem it our duty to
announce to the people Of the state that the
Republican managers have, within the last
forty-eight hours, conceived a new scheme
for throwing again into dispute the result of
the election in our state. For many days
after the election the entire committee, in
bad faith, claimed for the Republican candi-
date several states which they knew they
had not carried In the same bad faith, when
every source of information, includ-
ing the associated press, has DEM
onstrated that the vote Of New
York has been given to the Cleve-
land electors. they still claim the state.
No fact of history is now better known than
that the result of the election. as ascertained.
declared and certified by the election officers,
and of public record throughout the state,
gives New York to the Cleveland electors by
a decisive plurality. These public certified
returns have been sifted in the several coun-
ties by both parties with the most conscien-
tious care during the last four days, until
every possible doubt as to the result has
been removed Knowing this fact, they now
make boards of county canvassers
throughout the state where controlled
by them so many returning boards, after
the pattern of those not long since
used by them IN the southern states
Wherever boards fail them judicial orders
are to be applied for. Thus relying upon
the craftsmanship of the boards in the first
place, and Judges of their own political faith
In the second. they intend and expect to
throw again into dispute the result of the
election and involve It in interminrble llti-
gatlon. To this end printed papers have
been sent them to their agents and repre-
sentatives in every county in the state of New
York, to be used with the courts whenever an
occasion can be manufactured OF the entire
reliability of our Information as to this
scheme, there can be no question. We call
on representatives of the party in the various
counties Of thus state to be alert, and by every
proper method to resist and defeat this last
desperate device. Mindful of the grave con-
sequences to the business interests OF our
state which such conspiracy necessarily in
wolves, we deem 1t our duty to assure our
people, who have now generally acouiesced
in the result, that they may con- .iently rely
that by no such scheme "a device will the
state be deprived cssGhe result OF their DELHI
crate choice. It may disturb and pxotract
