then vote for whom they please. They
are not legally bound to vote for Cleve-
land or Rlains, or any other person who

Associated Press Dispatch by special Hirea.
New YcRK, Nov. 26.-Some days ago
the Journal of Commerce commented uu
favOTably on the Associated Press in con.
necion with the election returns from
New York and expressed the opinion that
Mr.. Whitelaw Reid Of the Tribune had
exercised an undue share Of intlu-
eroe In the work. This morning
the Journal rf Commerce. contains an
editorial on the subject which was
written after mr.. David NJ. Stone the
editor, had inquired into the facts. Il
says: "The Joint executive committee
OF the Western aud New York Associated
Press met yesterday to investigate tue
complaints which have been made from
both parties concerning the re-
ports Of the late political cam
paiRn up TO and including the
returns OF the election. After q careful
sitting OF evidence several facts Of public
interest were established beyond oontro-
versy and we refer 10 them briefly in
Justice 10 ourselves and othera. The
arrangements for reporting the proceed.
ings Of conventions, the acceptance Of
nominations and the sayings and
doings Of the several candidates,
were shown to be as perfect as could well
he devised and wholly without partisan
bias, any seeming psrtislity to one OF
the other side In the dispatches received
was corrected at once by Mr.. William
Henry Smith, the general SCENT, and all
that human ingenuity could devise was
done to give reliable intelligence I'M
oolored by partisan prejudice.
.'We stated on the 18th instant that as
the other members of the executive com
mittee had not been active, the recent
election returns appear to have been col
lected under the entire supervision Of
the editor Of the Tribune. The latter
attended the meeting Of the board just
before the election, and was understood
In answer TO aquestion from the presid mt
70 have given sufficient authority for
such an association. It Is now stated
and accepted that he did not intend by
his answer to give this impression and
that ss o matter OF fact neither he nor
any other Of the committee gave any per-
soaal attention to the supervision OF the
rtturnsn
In regard to the New York state re-
turns the Jonna says that as far ss the
Action OF the general manager in the con-
rol Of the machinery is concerned, there
no cause tor complaint and concludes
follows: "ExAotly how the returns

A Qualification and Meeting at Chesa-

pealke CITY.
Special Correspondence Of Gazette and Jolrnsl,
ELKToN, Nov. 26.-A very large torch
light procession and jollifoation meeting
was held at Chesapeake City last night
A barbecue had taken place during the
afternoon.
The parade WAS q very grand affair, at
least 1000 perROns being in line. The
town was brilliantly illuminated. After
the parade meeting was organized with
j. d. Steele, Esq, chairman. Messrs
Rossell, Writ and Crothers made
addresses.
Mr.. Crothers, In his address, said that
he had been misreported In q measure in
EVERY EvKEING in saying that the Civil
Service amounted to nothing. he said
he hoped that all the laws, constitutional
In their provision, now upt n the statute
books unrept sled, would be enforced by
the coming Democratic administration,
but that he could not refrain from
observing that an honest and capable
administration needs no such Law hs the
one referred to, and that q corrupt ad.
ministrstion would never enforce the
same. He feared IL at offioe-holders who
had aided and abstted the Republican
party in its many frauds upon the people
would now invoke the Civil Service law TO
retain their places; that no good could
come out Of the late Republican admins
traticn, and that all tkese considerations,
with the principle Of party responsible ity,
would make general removal necessary
