New York, Nov 8-Mr Elkins has been
interviewed "The national Republican
committee" he says, "intend to be conserva-
tive and just to everybody, and TO act coolly
and without precipitation in this crisis.
am not speaking for myself personally" he
said, "but the whole committee On the
line of action to be adopted we are a unit.
and prefer, therefore, that this statement
should go forth, not as eminating from one
but from the committee"
"Your committee claims that Mr. Blaine
has been elected"
1--WE believe that he has been elected, and,
as a matter of course, we therefore claim it.
We mean to be fair and to leave no stone
unturned to get at the exact facts. If we
discover on investigation that Mr. Blaine has
not received the vote We think lie
has, and we find that the frauds were not
perpetrated which we have strong evidence
pointing to, then as patriotic American
citizens we shall bow to the viii of the ma
jority, and concede the election of Cleveland.
We do not propose Cleveland shall take his
seat by fraud, but if we learn that he has
been fairly elected we shall concede tho fact
There is no necessity for haste or undue ex-
citement This business will in duo course
right itself"
Mr.. Elklns said there were several countieI
where there were appearances of fraud
and the cases would be scruntinized very
closely. He mentioned Ulster and st. Law
renee as counties where there was the look
of fraud, and also Westchester

Blaine has about 5000 plurality in the
county. The Illinois legislature is claimed
by the Democrats by a very small majority

VICTORY.

After twenty-four years of continuous
disaster the democracy have elected a
president of the United States Democrats
alone know what this means. Republicans
have not, and from the very nature of the
case cannot have any conception of the
JOY that agitates every democratic breast
today. Democrats themselves are unable to
put it into words, They ctn feel it, bnt
it is beyond expression.
For twenty>four years they have kept
the true faith, cherishing with greater
fidelity with each successive defeat the
grand principles upon which their party
was founded. For twentyfom years they
have Travelled 81 owly and painfully along
the vallay of humiliation, grada'diy coming
nearer and nearer to the promised land.
Now, twentytour years after the defeat of
Douglas, they have arrived within its
borders. This long period of adversely
has found its recompense in the triumph
of this hour.
At last democrat will occupy the chair
of Jefferson and Jackson-that chair
which the great Douglas lost by the folly
OF his party and the greater Tilden by
fraud ..s...-
But the republicans have not yet given
up all hope of carrying New York state
Their national committee are sending out
addresses telling them to not give up the
ship" To the unprecedented mind. no
doubt exists but that Cleveland and Hens
bricks are legally elected. The action of
Metropolitan committee therefore looks
as though second '76 steal is being con-
templated. Their words recall to mind
the Infamous Zach Chandler, chairman of
the republican national committee in
1876, who, the morning following the
presidential election of that year, sent ont
the proclamation that Hayes and Whce~
Ter have received 1876 electoral votes and
are elected"
The work of the miserable wretchcs
who counted out Tilden and seated HAYES
will never be forgotten, but will forever
remain as dark blot upon our country's
history. Many of them are dead and
damned, and those who live are .despiscd
by honest men. Will this Infamous page
OF our country's history repeat itself in
any of its features? We hope not; but if
it is attempted it will only result disas-
trously to the men engaged in this most
diabolical offense. Let the republican
managers take warning from the people
to carry on fair count. History may re-
peat itself as far as an attempted outrage
by the republican machine is concerned,
but it will not repeat itself in the result.
The democrats have carried New York
honestly, and "by the. Eternal sthey vii
count it.

Cleveland's probable plurality in the state,


How the RciuraS Were Collected.
New York, Nov s--Thcre are in round
numbers 5, 200 electoral districts in this state
The Associated Press furnished blank form
to one person III each OF the sixty county
seats of the state, with instructions to collect
the returns from the election districts upon
these blanks and telegraph results to head
quarters in this city At the same time
it received from the county clerks direct
the official returns sent to the county seats
by the canvassers OF each election districts
Thus it will he seen that the Associated Press
agent in this city held two sets of returns,
the one collected by its own agents, and the
other from the county clerks That
received from its own agents, or, as
it is termed in the explanatory note,
the district returns" gives Blaine
an apparent plurality, hut that received
from the county clerks give tine state to
Cleveland by plurality of LOCO. For
reasons best known to himself, the agent of
the Associated Press chose to make public
only the district returns until q late hour
last night, when he sent out the returns cor
rected by the figures of the county clerks
Democrats say that it is simply preposter
Gus on thu part of the Associated Fress
agent to assume that the county clerks
figures are less liable or less likely to be cor
rect than those III the unofficial individuals
employed 10y the Associated Press When to
this is added the fact that the figures fur
nished bv the various county clerks through
out the state are fully coToborated by the
figures obtained from the correspondents CT
every newspaper in New York that has
shown enterprise or ability enough to get re-
turns for itself, it was worse than imbecile
to suppress them until the last moment.
