New YORK Nov. ga feeling of insecurity
coupled with a knowledge that the insincerity of
their position must earlier or later be apparent
to the public, makes the Democrats unhappy
The weaker their tottering cause becomes the
| louder are their cries of fraud Just now it is
| the confessed scheme of the Democratic national
committee to intimidate capital They are
holding up in lurd light the danger of riots
and mobs, and if Cleveland is not seated there
will be boodshed, and property and investments
will suffer. They declare, in effect, that they
are trying to scare people with the belief
that Cleveland is elected and that
he has New York, and that It is serious crime
against the peace and property of the country
for the Republicans to question the result which
they have declared is the true one, The Demo
cratic patriots shocked and grieved to think
that the Republicans charge them with fraud in
the New Y ork election, and then substantiate
the charges by uneartbing one gigantic fraud
after another. Vanderbilt and other monopolists
who have been paying the bills of the Demo
cratic committee have the impudence to tell the
Republicans that they will plunge the country
into war if they persist in demanding an honest
count
The Democrats are playing desperate game
to pull their man through. To-day about 200
Democratic roughs, acting under the instructions
of their national committee, met in Twenty
seventh street beer garden and organized what
they are pleased to call 1.-THE First
New York Democratic Volunteer Regi-
ment " These belligerent bummers an
nounce that they have organized for
the purpose of escorting Grover Cleveland to
the White House, and that they will see him
safely there even if their paths lie through seas
of blood" This is sample of the manner in
which the Democratic managers are seeking to
| frighten capitalists.
AS a matter of fact, Cleveland is losing ground
every day. for every day brings to light fresh
frauds which have been committed, at the polls
and since, by his friends AT Albany the
returns of two districts were stolen, and the
figures so altered that the Democratic county
| treasurer appeared to be elected by a majority
of ten. In this matter it has been discovered
that 120 votes had been changed by the Demo
Gratis. The vote of the ward Will be thrown
out and Cleveland will loose 3S8 votes. If the
Democrats will stoop to such frauds to elect
small county officer it is reasonable to suppose
that they will stop at nothing to bring about the
election of President Discoveries were made
to-day which will probably result in the change
of 300 votes in favor of Mr.. Blaine.
On Tuesday the vote of each county will be
canvassed at the county seats The Democrats
have employed number of young independent
dude lawyers to go out into the country counties
and overlook the official canvass on Tuesday.
They are expected to represent themselves as
ardent Republicans The Republican national
committee have appealed to al the Republican
lawyers in the State to look after Mr. Blaines
interest.
Twenty five hundred IrishAmericans, many
of whom had been Democrats, met in mass meet
ing this afternoon, and declared that it was
their opinion that Blaine and Logan had carried
New York State. They also passed resolutions
urging the Republican national committee to in
sist on fair count. The committee has re-
ceived more than six hundred dispatches from
people in various parts of the country, asking
them to unearth all frauds and to de-
mand careful canvass, A dispatch
from St. Louis signed by ex-senator j. B. Hen
derson and fifteen other prominent men, says:
1.-The Republicans of Missouri ask only that the
true result be aseertained and declared, and we
have full faith that the Republicans Of New
York will not be deferred in the discharge of
their duty by any false claims of the Democrats.
Demand an honest count. The people of the
West will sustain the result"
The committee will leave nothing undone to
reach the honest result of the election
Hon. William NJ. Evarts will represent
the Republican committee, here and at
Albany, before the canvassing boards and
courts He will be assisted by many Of the
ablest lawyers in the country. The outlook is
more encouraging.
The Sun gives Cleveland another severe cut
to-day 1t says "Grover Cleveland was beaten
in his own ward If he had been running for
alderman, he would have been rejected by his
nearest neighbors. Grover Cleveland was beaten
in his own CITY, If he had been running this
year for mayor of Buffalo, the votes of his fell
low-citizens would have declared him unworthy
to fill that office. Grover Cleveland was beaten
in his own county. If he had been running again
for sheriff of Erie the people of that
county would have expressed their preference
for some other hangman. Grover Cleveland
was beaten in his own congressional district
Grover Cleveland narrowly escaped defeat in his
own State. The people of New York have had
an opportunity to study him He has only a
minority of the votes of New Workers. He lacks
many thousands of a majority. If he had been
running once more for Governor, he would have
been beaten by the ballots of the men who know
him best He was nominated for President on
the assurance of his managers that he was the
one man able to carry New York for the Democ-
racy. The vote shows that these pretensions as
