each Presidential candidate, there Is no
probability-in fact, no possibility
that the general result should be other
than has already been announced. Mr..
Cleveland's plurality stands now as it
has stood for week past, at moro
than 1880, and there it will stand sub
stantially at the end. There is no par
ty of intelligent men in this State who
now questions tho accuracy of these
figures. CHARLES A. DANA.

Counties of the State have sent i'm their

morning and resumed tho work Of
canvassing the vote of New York

trict was completed without any mate
rial change from the original count.
| In one of tho election districts of the
Sixteenth Assembly District slight
error was discovered and the vote of
! the district was referred to the COM
mittcc on corrected returns. Other
wise there was no material change in
the Sixteenth District, which was COM
plctcd at 1886 O'Clock.
The Seventeenth Assembly District
was completed at 11.15 a. IN. The
countOf the first district of the Ugh
tccnth Assembly District was objected
to on the ground that the total num-
bcr Of votes as read was shown to be
1873, whereas it was claimed that 226
votes wcro really cast in the district,
and that the Republican electoral ticket
received 81 votes instead of 81, as re-
corded. The vote Of the first election
district was, therefore, referred to the
committee on corrected returns.
The canvass of the Eighteenth AS
sombly District was finished about
| 11.45 a. m. No other errors were
thon ~ IN hn Al
district. The Nineteenth Assembly
Distaict was completed at 1905 with
out incident. 1t was resolved to re-
quest the Committee on Corrected Re.
turns TO give preference to the clecto-
| raj ticket. The canvass of the returns
for tho Twentieth Assembly District
! was completed at 1920, without OBJ.
lection being made. In the Twenty.
first Assembly District no objections
nor changes were made. Five dcfoc.
tive ballots and four blanks were
found. Kelly, Lcary and Hunter OF
the Democratic ticket each received
one more and Black, q Democratic

New York, November l5.-Eyc-
| ning.-Thc total figures i'm this State,
according to the official canvass, New

In New York county the canvass was
at p. m. not completed as to the
Seventh, Ninth and Thirteenth Assem-
bly, Districts. Without reckoning any
change in them, the official canvass has
given Blaine gains Of l43 and losses of
257. 1t has given Cleveland gains of
1886 and losses of 5l3 BIainc's total
net gain i'm 81 Of the "a election dis
tficts is therefore G3 Surprising tho
other three districts to remain nm
changed, and subtracting the net gain
OF blaine in the county from Clcve-
lands plurality, the plurality for Cleve-
land in New York State is 1912.
WASHINGTON, November Is. = A
special dispatch from New York to the
Ecentn9 Star says: "It is q source of
mnch satisfaction to all concerned that
the electoral count will certainly be
completed by Monday, and probably
by tonight. Although no formal an
has been made to that
effect, it is understood that the purpose
to advance any charges of fraud has
been abandoned by Bliss and his asso-
ciatc Icounsel. This is coupled, how
ever, with the qualification that con-
tingcnces may yet come in which it
will be deemed cXpcdicnt to rcport
evidences of fraud. The Democratic
Committee this morning, after once
more going over their figures, say that
the final result will not vary fifty from
their sanding estimate, and the abso-
lutte silence of the Republican Commit
lee when applied to, is accepted rs
proof that they at least admit the cor
rectness of the Democratic figures. A
New York State Senator, personal
friend of Governor Cleveland, who
comes from Albany this morning, says
that Cleveland had directed his clerks
to ldestroy, without showing to him,
all letters making applications for Of
fee"
The Board of Canvassers completed
the canvass of 712 election districts of
