electoral votes and insure their election.
In New York attempts to tamper with
the returns have slready been detected.
The actual vote cast IN New York
city. Kings county and 1859 other cleo
ton precincts give at the utmost only
14s plurality to Cleveland while 1853 pre-
cincts not heard from gave 2172 plur-
ality to Garfield. There IS, therefore,
no ground for doubt that the honest
vote of the state has been
given to the Republican candidates and
though the defeated candidate for presi-
dent is at the head of the election ma
chinery in this state, the Democratic
party which has VIGOROUSLY been the
party of fraud In elections for years,
will not be permitted to
thwart the will of the people. The ma
tIOnal Republican committee calls on
the chaTmen and Individual members
Of all county committees to take the
most stringent and prompt means to pro-
tect the sanctity of the ballot. The Re-
publican candidates have been honestly
elected beyond question. ANY attempt
to cheat the people and defeat their
will thus expressed at the polls must be
surely exposed and resisted by every law
respecting citizen.

of election districts made in the associ

an equal plurality. Twelve districts Ii
ported at all. Some sixty others had re
