New YORK, Nov. fat 1885 Saturday
night Deputy County Clerk Beattie made
this announcement to the New York Board
OF County Canvassers: ''The Board Of
CalTasserS have completed the canvass of
the .712 election districts in the city of New
York. As to one district-the First of the
Eighteenth-it IS necessary that the in
spectorS be required to correct the return as
to an error supposed to be apparent on
the face Of the return. That return
gives to the Blaine electors 81 votes,
while from other statements in
the return it ought to be 81. This
can make difference Of ~ votes; no more
no less. If these 81 votes are allowed to
Blaine the result will be: For the lowest
elector OH the Cleveland ticket, 1873, 157, and
the highest OH the Blaine ticket 99093;
plurality for the lowest Cleveland elector,
43,064." This is a net gain for Blaine Of
1862 over the generally accepted unofficial
figures in New York County, and makes
Cleveland's plurality in the State 1,1O5.
The total vote in the State is: Cleveland,
563, 103; Blaine, sol, 008; st. John, 25,227;

ALBANY, Nov. 17.-Governor Cleveland
was alone hard at work in the Executive
Office when the news Of the count came, his
70
gone to visit his father. The first dispatch
was from E. Lynd Stetson, of the Demo-
cratic counsel, before the New York City
Canyassing Board. The second was from
his associate, Charles P Miller. The third
was from Aaron ]. VanderpooI. All stated
that the city canvass was complete and show
ed plurality of 1,147 in the State. Then
came many kilograms of further information.
With the remark to the doorkeeper, II
guess sister will like to read these" the
Governor went over to the Executive Man
sion and there spent the evening with his
sister, Mrs. Hoyt, receiving many tele-
grams, but eXcusing himself except to very
Intimate Albany friends. He is calm and
cheerful at his work, and in no way elated
OF surprised at the result, which has been
apparent to him for several days. The time
at which he will resign his present Office
may be inferred from this fact-the Consti-
tuition requires him to resign to the Legis-
lature, and it will not be in session until
after January J..
Boston, Mass, Nov. IA special from
Augusta says: "Mr. Blaine regards the
official count in New York as practically
settling the Presidential. question. Mr.
Blaine, it is stated on authority, received
Saturday afternoon a telegram from
New York announcing the completion of
the official canvass in that city, and inform.
ing him that the plurality for Cleveland
In that State would be 1887. The same
authority states that Mr.. Blaine accepts the
result very cheerfully, and has no regrets
growing out of his connection with the cam
paign. He feels that he made good fight
and gracefully bows to the verdict of the
American people. He believes the Republic
an party will prove true to it's grand past and
will increase in strength with coming years.
He expects that in 1888 it will again be
called back into power. Mr.. Blaine leaves
for Washington the middle of next week,
where he and his family will spend the
winter. He has leased the Sargent House
in Farragut Square, and will shortly resume
his work on the second volume of Twenty
Years of Congress-. The volume will be
ready by June next for publication.

no doubt that Mr.. Cleveland will encounter a
tremendous demand for clean sweep, but l
think that, while changes will be- and ought
to be. made for perfectly legitimate rea-
the Reform law, and that non-political officers
who have been honest and effective in dis,
charge of their duty, and who have not mis-
dsed their positions Tor party or political ends,
Will not be arbitBlrly dismissed for political
reasons. VI course ] have no authority to
speak for Mr.. Cleveland MY faith is founded
upon the sole knowledge of his character and
convictions Truly yours
