ALLEGED DISCREPANCIES.
NEw YoRK, Novemb

NEW YORK, Novembsp 10
There was a decided lull yesterday. The
political headquarters of beth parties
We're almost deserted, and save that the
committee have not yet resolved them
selves into their original element and are
still at their post, it would hardly be sus-
pected thata great and exciting Presi-
dental contest had just passed over.
Nevertheless there is little besides poll
tics spoken in the streets, and no matter
how the conversation begins it is sure to
end with Blaine and Cleveland. The
Democratic National Committee were at
the Fifth Avenue Hotel all day, and al
though little business was done, the con-
yersation was animated. Mr.. Barnum
left town on Saturday night, but will re-
turn this morning. Colonel Tracy, Mr.
James and Mr.. Whitney were present,
and were kept pretty busy receiving re-
porters and furnishing them with infor-
nation. Colonel Tracy said TO STIR re-
porter:
There \ little doubt but that mistakes Will
be found when the final Official count shall
be made, but they are as liable to be on one
side as the other Thus, IL this sort OF thing
is persisted In, 4is votes IN Chutauqua Coun,
tg Will be found on our side; l00in Delaware,
anu so on. And remember, the supreme
Court decided IN 1876 that no investigation
could get behind the Board Of Canvassers'
records
Mr.. Smith, OF the State Committee, said
that there were no further developments,
Leaders Of both parties were in anxious
consultation all day long. The Republic
cans gave out that discrepancies Of from
1900 to 900 votes had been discovered
IN Mr.. Blaine's favor.

DEMOCRATIC srNrE GoMMrrTEE, {

HEADQUARTERS
DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE,
HOFFMAN HOUSE, NEW YORK, Nov, -
We deem il our duty 70 announce to the
people OF the state thnt the Republican man-i
ayers, within the last forty eight honrs con
cpiyed new scheme FOR throwing again into
dispute the result of the election in our
stnte.
For many days after the election they, in
entire bad fnlth, claimed for the Republican
candidate several states which they knew
they had not carried, In the same bad faith
when every source 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 result Of the election MS ascer.
tained, declared and certified by the election
officers, and Of public record throughout the
state, gives New York 70 the Cleveland elcc.
tors hY adhesive plurality.
These public, certified returns have been
sfted IN the several counties BY both parties
with the most conscientious care during the
last -four days, until every possible doubt as
to the result has been removed.
knowing this fact, they now propose as q
last desperate resort 70 make Of the boards
Of the county ehnyassers throughout The
state which were controlled by them so many
returning boards, after the pattern OF those
not long since used by them In the southern
States,
Wherever Tie boards fail them Judicial
orders are to be applied for.
Thus relying upon the partisanship Of
The boards in the first place and 81 Judges
Of their own political iaith in the second
they Intend and expect to throw again into
dispute the result of the election, and in.
yolve y IN interminnble litigation.
10 this end printed papers have been sent
hy them to their agents and representatives
in every county in the State of
New York TO be used with the courts
whenever an occasion can be manufactured.
OF the entire reliability Of our Information
as to this scheme there can be no question:
We call upon the representatives OF the party
IN the various counties Of this state 10 be
alert and by every proper method to resist
and defeat this last desperate device. And
mindful of the grave consequences to the
business Interests of our State, which such
conspiracy necessarily involves, we deem il
our duty to assure our people, who have
now generally acquiesced in the result, that
they may confidently rely that by no such
scheme or device will the State be deprived
Of the result OF its deliberate choice.
II may disturb and protract the dcterniLa.
ton; 1t Will not change the result

The Republican leaders are throwing
the blame of their defeat upon each
other, the example being set by Blaine,
who, though the real cause of the
disaster, appears to think that his lieu
tenants did the mischief. Mr.. Elkips,

clsred now to have been of no account

arraigns him, is found himself

Whoever it is That made the bargain
with the County Democracy of New

or more of Democratic votes in the city
and offset the Independent Republican
vote for Cleveland, does not come for
ward to claim the credit for that sub
stantial piece of work which would have
