LAWYERS y. !.

New York, Nov. The committee
Of Democratic lawyers held mass
meeting in this city to-day for the pur-
pose of mapping out their campaign
against the official canvass. Among
those present were Gen. Francis G..
Barlow, D. Ellery Anderson, "a. j.
|. Vanderpoel, Charles i. Miller, Albert
: Stickney, and r.. ID. Stetson. Mr..
Anderson said this evening: The
object of the conference to-day was to
determine by an examination of the
law what are the limits to which the
Republic can go in invoking the aid
of the courts to interfere with the
count of the votes Tuesday, and to
take measures to protect the interests
of the Democratic party and secure an
honest count of the votes cast in the
State .
'sWill lawyers be sent from this city
to witness the official canvass in the
country cOunties?n
There are lawyers enough in the va
riOus counties to protect the interests
of the party. But whenever they want
assistance we are prepared TO furnish
it, and able lawyers will be sent where

New Y Ork, November Sour foot
ings show that Cleveland has a plural
ity of ], AGO. There are Is places to be
heard from officially, which will re-
duce this somewhat. IF Garield's ma
jorities in those places are accepted the
it is doubtful if Blaine polls as large a
vote in those precincts as Garfield.
hence Cleveland's plurality may be ac-
cepted as about ], 600 This calculation,
Of course, is based on the returns
which have been received from the
various precincts at this office from
persons believed to be reliable, and
also have served the Associated Press
acceptably in other years. An examin-
alton of the returns shows great differ
ence of ratio OF gain or loss in di ffeTent
sections; hence the widely differing
calculations.

THE REPUBLICAN, PRONUNCIAMIENTO.
New York, Nov. 6.-The following
address has just been issued:
Headquarters Republican National
Committee, New 7 ork City, Nov. O.
The Republican National Committee
rej0ices that the returns now received
warrant it in announcing the triumph
ant election of Blaine and Logan. The
Republicans have carried every north
ern state except New Jersey and Con-
necticut. Virginia seems also to have
given majority for the Republican
cause and the ticket, and there is a
strong probability that West Virginia
has also, while other Southern States
are still in doubt. The Northern States
alone. however, give to Blaine and
Logan 225 electoral votes and insure
their election.
In New York attempts to tamper
with the returns have already deem de-
tected. The actual vote cast in New
York City, in Kings County, and in
1852 other election precincts give at
the utmost only l48 plurality to Grover.
Cleveland. while 1853 precincts not yet
heard from, gave 2,171 to Garfield.
There is, therefore, no ground for
doubt that the honest vote Of the state
didates, and, though the defeated can
didate is at the head Of the election
machinery in this state, the Democrat
ic party, which has VIGOROUSLY been a
party Of fraud in elections for years,
will not be permitted to thwart the
will of the people.
The National Republican Committee
calls on the chairman and individual
members of all county committees to
take the pr0mptest and most stringent
means to protect the sanctity of the
ballot. The Republican candidates
have been honestly elected beyond
question. Any attempt to cheat the
people and defeat their will thus ex-
pressed at the polls must be sternly ex-
posed and resisted by every laW-re-
speeding citizen. B. F. JONES,
SAMUEL FESSENDEN, Chairman.
Secretary. !.
