TO be canvassed
SLIGHT BASIS OF REPUBLICAN, HOPES.
The Mail and Express this afternoon says:
The official canvass OF the vote of this state il
IN progress to-day. But rev changes were made
by the canyassers yesterday. 1t is now gener-
ally conceded that if the vote of the counties
above Harlem bridge cannot be changed to at
feet Cleveland's plurality an accidental error
may entirely wipe out his plurality, and on this
alone are based the hopes of the Republicans
At midnight forty OF the sixty counties had been
heard from officially. They gave a net gain OF
thirty-three for Cleveland, leaving his plurality
at 1,225. according to the claims of the Demo
crats. This practically ends any probability Of
any serious Increase to Blaineis majorities.
In the rural r~Dunties, although 1t is fair 10 bear
IN mind that where gains arsexpected the eau
vass is delayed, and q case may yet be presented
I'm eight or ten counties where no case has been
made NJ. The total number of votes upon
which, in some form or other, George Bliss ex-
poets to take exception to the informal cnnnt
already hal is ABOUT 1000. About one-thirf
OF these are detective or blank ballots, and the
rest are Butler and st. John and other votes
which were m~iscounted, excluded or otherwise
aided to swell the Cleveland vote.
New YORK, Special Telegram, Nov. To-
From official returns received from about
fifty counties, and taking previous figures
for the remaining ten counties, the Sun this
morning puts Cleveland's plurality at / zoo.
The Times says it will be 1916. The World
sticks to 1917. The Tribune says:
IL the present majorities In New York and
BROOKLYN should be sustained. 1t would leave
Cleveland a plurality of Liz in the state. It
seems certain that the official count will reduce
this, but how much, cannot yet be known. None
! Of the counties in the interior, from which the
state and national committees were led to ex-
pec5 corrections, seem so far to have made
material changes. Ulster and Albany es-
pecially failed to confirm the reports ON
which the Blaine plurality had :been
increased. Nearly all the facts, therefore, show
ing what may be the probability offurther i'm
portant changes, are now in the hands Of the
boards.
