the city has already lowered the amount
To 436, by reason of errors against Mr..
Blaine 10 tie sum of AS votes. At the
Democratic state headquarters this was
not verrh d, au official stating that the
Democrats we're "now struggling Tor VIII at
Is already Curs.'
Decisive action taken by District Attor
ney Olney prevented thousands of non
residents who had registered illegally from
voting FOR the Republican electors on las
Tuesday, but still frauds were perpetrateu
W various districts, and in some the Cleve
land maiOrlties were credited u Blame.
The district attorney is now busy invest
eating these frauds. A great deai OF ev.-
dence has bseu collected, and when it is
submitted to the grand jury it will cause
a sensation, 1t was reported that an in
spector iu one of the down town Assembly
turnsy that a majority of several hundred
votes Tor Cleveland had been entered on
he off oial returns rs a majority for Blaine
Moreover, IL was said that all the other
inspectors in the district had been SUN
Durrd before Mr.. Olney, and that they
lnuiciued the srSteneut originally made.
Ibey were instructed to correct theit re-
.urus at once, but were not given any
o. umiss of immunity from punishment
Another report which gained circulation
and WAS gene ally credited was TO
the effect that in the Eighth As
semby district, 10 which Johu J
o Brien is Boss" the dishonest tricks
ri former years had been reSorte !
"a. IL was SAID that certain inspectors
who could not be bEibed had been drugged
md that the vote had been oanvassed
without their aid. In several districts Il
is claimed that CleyeIanC's sjorities were
either cut down Or wiped out altogether.
The evidence OF frauds of that charactsr
Is rwhe ming, and prompt action will b
taken to prevent a reversal of the will OF
the people.
District Attorney Olney said that he
| had the matter OF election frauds under
investigation, but he feared that it might
| defeat the ends OF justice to make pu D tic
the evidence in his possession. The miss
ing return from the Twenty fourth elec
ton district of the First Assembly dis
trlcL he said had been found. IL was de
festive, but would not affect the electoral
vote. The 9th sal count" said District
Attorney OlleE Il believe, will show for
Cleveland a larger plurality than is at
present claimed. | have nothing to do
with the work OF the board of county can
vassors. There will be legal representa-
t.yes of both parties present, l presume,
TO watch the count. The board, in cases
of errors, de ects or irregularities, can sum
mou the inspectors and the errors may
Oe reCtided.'
The New York aldermen will meet at
tha county clerks otfi ,e Tuesday and will
b. sworn IN as board OF county can
vassers. They will then organize and ap
point committees. II is not likely that
| they will begin the work of canvassng the
vote until Wednesday.
Il bscoe Conkllng has been retained by
the Democratic national committee to act
ip any proceedings that may arise in rela.
tion to the peLding canvass. Mr., Conkling
is in consultation at the Hoffman house
with the members Of the committee OF
| lawyers, who have undertaken to see fan
| count.
Civil Justice Kelly and Police Justict
Power, who have begun au investigations
concerning the trading of votes in ths
sixteenth Assembly district on behalf OF
| the County Democracy, say that they have
discovered eleven cases of dtsloyalty to
the national ticket on the part OF Tammsny
Hall memb bers, aud will place the evidence
before the Latlonal and Democratic state
committees
Attorney General o Brien, one of the
-..t.. h..
Democrats of WaLertown, n. Y, said :
Il have no fears that the wishes or the
iudgmens of the people as expressed at
ne ballot box will be falsiti3d OF defeated.
No party or set of men can steal the
electoral vote of the Empire state Tne
laws Ut the state in regard 10 election and
the Counting DI votes are too perfect 70
admit of fraud, aud the people Of New
GOrk are too much in earnest to tolerate
fraud, even If 1T We're possible. The votes
given By the people of this state, | have
no doubt, will be honestly counted and the
result truthfully declared
La pursuance TO a call issued by the
Business Mems Republican campaign

have requested permission to correct the
returns OF that ward for coroner aud
and county treasurer to the original
ignres. They claim that the returns were
At5rei atCsr they had deposited them, aud
tha evidence IN the investigation now
points to the probability that such was
The fact.
EVERYTHING QUIET AT AUGUSTA.
Everything is quiet in Augusta, Me-, but
the anxiety over the presidential contest
continues. Rumors favorable to both sides
have been current with the advantage
rather on the side of the Republicans.
Everybody is waiting for the count in New
York though few believe the great ques.
tIOn will b8 settled so soon.
