ped to about u thousand), only count
now on a little less than 450 plurality
i'm the State. This the errors, or worse,
already discovered would more than
wipe out. The whole anvass must be
conducted with the utmost opepness
and under the mostrigid legal scrutiny
with resort to the proper courts
whenever necessary. Then, if the fair
count gives Gov. Cleveland q plurality
of only q single vote he will be in
augurated. If it gives Mr.. Blaine q
plurality, nc matter how small, he will
be iRaugurated. Buster and threats
may promote public disorder for
which those who use them will be re-
sponsible-but will not be permitted to
affect the inevitable result"
The San Of Tuesday says: On ac-
count of the determination Of the Re-
publican managers to make test cases
for the courts of all errors and irregu-
to recognize, it is a question whether
the announcement of the official count
may not be DELAYED indefinitely, al
though there ought to be no delay in
footing up the face Of the returns as
they now stand, sc as to make out a
prima facie case for either Cleveland
OF Blaine.
There are quite a number who are
confident that in view of the POSSIBLE
ity Of long, dragging legal disputatiOn
the vote OF New York will never be
counted at all by Congress.
The effect of this would be to throw
the election into the House. AS it is
Democratic it would, as q matter of
course, elect Cleveland. The inference
is drawn that the Republicans are not
pursuing their present policy for the
purpose Of throwing the election into
the House, but because they believe,
upon the facts in their possession, that
they stand q chance OF drawing a plu-
rality out Of the lottery Of future cor
rectiOns.
The Nail aud Express of Tuesday
says: The members of the Republican
National Committee are still unwaver-
ing in their belief that Blaine and
Logan have received q plurality OF the
votes in this State. They await with
perfect composure the results of the
official canvass, which will begin in the
sixty counties at l p. m. tomorrow.
They advise all Republicans to be cool
and temperate in action and language,
and to avoid any exhibition of an in
hammatory character. The Democrat
ic scarecrow about altering the returns
is the silliest nonsense. The returns
were filed in the offices of the clerks of
the several counties four days ago, and
the only alteration now possible is the
judicial revision, to which both parties
must bow. The developments of the
past twenty-four hours indicate even
better. prospects for Blaine than did
those OF Saturday.
