Republican National Headquarters, New York,
Nov. S:-The Republican national committee
are taking the most careful and thorough meas
sures TO ascertain errors, if any have been made,
and frauds. il auy have been committed, in the
returns OF the late election In the State OF New
York. If Mr.. Cleveland shall be found to
prompt acquiescence will follow from the Re
publicans OF the United States. If Mr.. Blaine
shall be found to have a plurality of only one
vote, prompt acquiescence Will be expected
from the Democrats of the United States. The
belief of this committee, founded upon investi-
CATION. is that Mr.. Blaine has a plurality OF
several hundred votes, and If that be so every
honest man will demand that it be officially de-
clared. Until the official declaration shall be
made we ask the public to unite with us in an
honorable effort to secure a perfectly fair count.
Purity in elections is the only safety for repub-
ucan institutions. Isignedl B.. JONES,

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
to the people of the state that the
Republican managers have. within the last
torty-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 lem
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
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 paruisanship 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 int%erlninrble llti-
CATION. 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 he 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 theparty in the various
counties of this 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 a conspiracy necessarily in
wolves, wedieem 1t our duty to assure our
people, who ave now generally acquiesced
in the result, that they may confidently rely
that by no such scheme or device will the
state be deprived of the result OF their DELHI
the determination; it will not change the re-
suit fsgnedl Y. = SMITH,
