STILL DOUBTFUL.

tees sill believing that the electoral votes
OF New York state have been cast for
Blaine end Logan 4 careful cxamina-
ton Of the returns has been in progress
all day and errors and Discrepancies have
| bccn discovered which Gu, down the al
l,ged Cleveland plurality in a manner cal
ca,a,.i 10 Glsr;n The NEST sanSline Geni-
ocrats. WIKI. ii i, fact that discreIsan
eics have been discovered in sc.Ee i'll
stances in favor OF Cleveland, 1t all shows
th@t u.thinc IL certain, and c,nnot &c IN
I'll the o.I-.,ial vote is announced. The
most imror:an, error &c; discovered was
in one Of the districts in this city tonight
wh-rc $50 votes were added - Blaine
plurality, tu, this is H., the only one.
In Queens county zoo votes were found
to have becn adicd 10 Cleveland column
after The result had been announced and
the polls closed. AEO:her inciden. Of
confusion Of affairs is repeated from West
Chester county, where enc Of the demo-
cratic election officers went off and got
drunk with his friends, with the returns
in his coat pocket, aud was captured and
brought back after deputy sheriff had
been on his track for several hours
Again, in one election district in Ulster
county Cleveland's plurality exceeds the
total registered vote Of the district These
facts are all in the hands of the republi-
can committee, and it is safe to say they
will make the most of them. Dispatches
to the committee from the upper part Of
this state cay that Butler votes were all
counted for Cleveland. The tickets were
the same size and thickness. 1t is al
legged by Buffers managers here that the
same thing has been done elsewhere
The committee has received dispatches
from four counties giving in substance
the foregoing information. The convic-
ton is forced upon it by weight Of testi-
mony that when the official count is made
plurality for the Cleveland electors will
be found to exist. Unless most of the
newspapers of the metropolis are in error,
this plurality will be somewhere between
800 and 1900. No official count has
yet been made, however, and the repub-
lican committee assert in the most posi-
tive manner that their information as to
the vote in the several counties convinces
them that the official canvass will show a
plurality for the Blaine electors. The
canvass of the vote in the counties will
be made, it is said, tomorrow.
The democratic managers began by
claiming the state by great majority
The first claim was thirty to fifty thous-
and. 1t was reduced rapidly till doubt
began, and so5n thereafter they fixed the
plurality at thirty eight hundred. Theu
from this figure they were soon forced te
q come.
STILL CLAIMED BY THE "TRIBUNE."
New YORK, Nov. Especial. J.
9 The Tribune is the only paper which
o this morning, questions Cleveland's cleo
d ton by over 1000 plurality. The Tri
e bune says: "The official count of thu
e vote Of this State is required to decide tn,
e result on the presidency. The vote il
o close, and while the outlook is still hope
'e full for Blaine, the plurality either wa,
will be small. Some slight changes il
the figures have been reported from sew
eral counties, and the vote in New Yorl
l. city varies considerably on different count
. made. In Brooklyn the Democratic vot
4 has been reduced, on account Of error,
d In Albany frauds are charged which ma
70 cause Cleveland the loss Of 3ss vote.
n There are also disputes in other counties
y as to the accuracy Of the figures hereto
u fore reported"
