the precinct votes on Tuesday by the county
officers.
NEW YORK, Special Telegram, Nov. r.
The state returning board in this state is in
the hands of the Democrats and close adj
herents Of Gov. Cleveland. 1t is composed
of Joseph B. Carr, Republican, secretary of
state; Fred c.. Chaplin, Democrat, comp
%troller; Elnathan Sweet, Democrat, state
engineer and surveyor; Dennis O'Brien,
Democrat, attorney general; and Robert
A. Maxwell, Democrat, state treasurer.
If at any time one OF more
of those fail to attend the meeting of the
board, the vacancies are filled by calling in
the a and recorder of the city of Albany.
Both of these are Democrats. These facts
and a general misunderstanding ais to the
duties of these officers nave been the
subject to-day of many rumors as
to the fraudulent manipulation OF the
returns. The Law governing the action of
these officers is so strict and their duties are
so clearly defined, that any manipulation of
the returns is
ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.
On Tuesday the boards of supervisors
will meet in the various counties and
canvass the returns. Their duties are purely
clerical. They simply add up the local
returns of towns election districts and wards,
certify to their accuracy, and transmit certi-
fed returns to the secretary of state.
JOHN KELLY's OPINION.
The Star says hundreds of kilograms have
been received from all over the country in
curing the views of Mr.. Kelly on the cleo
ton, and especially asking his opinion on
New York state. In response to these in
quiries, Mr.. Kelly sent the following state
ment:
The figures show a total vote for Cleveland and
Blaine of 1,104, 615, and a plurality for Cleve-
land of j $50. The Albany Evening Journal con-
cedes this. 1 am of the opinion that the coun-
ties, when canvassed by the boards Of super
visors Tuesday next. will show an increase over
the Journals figures. The national Democratic
committees figures are j 300 for Cleveland, and
their statement is based on positive informa-
tion. / have no doubt of Gov. Cleve-
lands election, although the people will
be kept in suspense until tine OFF,

of the result. The means taken to conceal the

Jamper with the returns, but the vigilance of the
/ Democratic national committee has prevented 1t.
You can rely on these figures, as i have the as
surance that they are accurate, and that the
state canvass will find them correct, or nearly
so, and il there are reductions the number will
not be sufficient TO defeat Clevelands election.

THE ALBANY JoURNAE GIVES u i.
ALBANY, Nov. THE Evening Journal
concedes the election of Cleveland. 1t says:
There seems to be no longer a doubt that Gov.
Cleveland has been elected. Every county has
sent in its full vote, after a careful verlhcation,
and the results assure Gov. Cleveland a plurality
of about a thousand in the state. The vote will
not vary 200 on either sido of these figures.
New York gives Cleveland enough votes to elect
him. The Journal has devoted its entire time
towards securing another result, and it now re-
luctantly states that the election has been decid-
ed differently from its desire, because it believes
chat the prompt recognition of the will Of the
majority is essential to the maintenance and
preservation of American institutions. So long
as the people of the United States have decided
to transfer the federal administration to the
Democratic party. we are glad that the decision
has been made in favor OF a Democrat from New
York state.
