THE Committees Address.
The state Democratic committee from
its headquarters in she Hoffman House,
New York, Sunday issued the follow
ing address:
We deem it our duty to announce to the
people OF the state that the Republican man
ayers have within the last As hours conceived
a new scheme for throwing again into dis
pute tho result OF the election in our state.
For many days after the election they, in
entire bad faith, claimed for the Republican
candidate several states which they knew
I
In the same bad faith, when every sourcs
Of information, including the Associated
Press, has demonstrated that the vote of New
York has been given to the Cleveland electors
they still claim the state.
No fact Of history is now better known
than that the results OF the election as ascer
tanned, declared and certified by the election
officers, and of public record throughout tn,
state, gives New York to the Cleveland
electors by decisive plurality.
, These public certified returns have beer
sifted in the several counties by both partie
with the most conscientious care during thu
last four days, until every possible doubt Al
to the result has been removed.
3 Knowing this fact they now propose, as
last desperate resort, to make Of the board
OF county canvassers throughout the state
, where controlled by them, 30 many returning
boards, after the pattern of those not LON
since used by them in the Southern States
Wherever the boards fail them, iudIcla
3 orders are to be applied for Thus relyin
upon the craftsmanship of the boards in til
: first place, and of judges Of their own politi
3 cal faith in the second, they intend and eS
pect to throw again into dispute the result O
the election and involve it in interminabl
, litigation.
8 10 this end printed papers have been sen
0 by them to their agents and representative
in every county in the state Of New York,
5 be used with the courts whenever an occasio
can be manufactured.
7 OF the entire reliability of our informatio
as to this scheme there can BIS no question,
We call upon the representatives of tn
party in the various counties OF this state
be alert and by every proper method to resit
; and defeat this last desperate device.
4 And mindful Of the grave consequences t
the business interests Of our state, whic
such d conspiracy necessarily involves, W
9 deem 1t our duty to assure our people, VIII
have now generally acquiesced IN the result
that they may confidently rely that by n
such scheme or device will the state
n deprived of the result of its deliberate choice
1t may disturb and protract the determins
: ton. 1t will not change the result.

Chairman Executive Committee
