Special Dispatch to THE EVENING STAR
New YORK, November
The excitement in this city last night and this
morning bordered On collision and bloodshed.
Happily, at two O'Clock this afternoon everything
has quoted down and there promises to be no
trouble, though no one can predict what this night
may develop. Up to the moment the returns from
this state became close the two parties were
in the best Of good feeling. In fact,
it was subject OF comment that
never In the history OF politics there so much
good humor among opposing parties. The process
sions and crowds OF both parties were good
naturally Jeered and no collisions resulted. In
fact not even an attempt was made. Late last
night, however, and early this morning the situa-
ton suddenly changed. In the morning the returns
Indicated Clevelands plurality by over 1900,
and his election was conceded all day till towards
evening, when the republican national committee
sent out their proclamation claiming Blaines cleo
ton. This was at once followed by counter
claim by the democrats, but giving at least thou
sand plurality more for Cleveland. This
ratio has been kept up TIL the
this dispute has brought professions from both
parties, who have marched up and down the
streets shouting their campaign cries and indulg-
Ing In such demonstrations that it has been deemed
wise 10 order the entire police OF New York city
duty. The result has been that wherever the
crowds have been disorderly they have been dis
persed by the clubs OF the police. An immense
crowd in front OF the main office
OF the Western Union Telegraph, which
tn Shnut Tarr Co,,ld-
the same time burned some newspapers, were dis
persed. A procession marched by his house early
this morning shouting, mo '76 and We will hang
Jay Could" but 1t was not disturbed. Some de-
monstratiOn was made towards the Tribune build
ing. In the headquarters, hotels and clubs the
crowds fingered all night discussing the returns
which came I'm so very close that il
was hard to say who was ahead though the
democrats had the call on the total The latter
shouted and sang till long after daylight and have
kept 1t up this afternoon mo, no; no seventy
"We won't have that fix; no seventy-six.''
CLAIMS MADE BY REPUBLICANS.
This afternoon the plurality Claimed by the re-
publicans for Blaine is below two hundred. while
the corrections in returns give Cleveland over
LOO, and probably more. The county boards OF
supervisors meet next Tuesday to add up the re-
suit officially, and to send it to the secretary Of
state 1t Is possible but not propabe on the re-
wiped out and, therefore, his election is conceded
on every hand.
As to the charge that Gould held back the re-
turns there does not seem to be anything in it. For
a close contest they have been collected more
rapidly than in former years, so rapid that serious
errors have been made by men against their own
party, which Of course would not indicate inten-
territorial fraud. The compilers here are
five Associated Press men, four of whom voted
for Cleveland The manager, Mr.. French, based
his calculations on the usual percentage Of gain,
and persisted on that in giving the state to Blaine,
but 1t failed TO hold out in this day OF surprises,
and the charge was natural that the re-
bets on candidates. All bets here On New
York state and the general result
are to be decided OH the Official returns Gould was
advised to telegraph Cleveland his congratuIa-
lions, in order to prevent trouble here His tele-
gram was at once bulletined all over New York.

seems to follow up the returns. The republican
national committee at p. IN. issue bulletin that
Blaine has the state by SO plurality. Fun returns
from all county clerks, but twelve election
districts give Cleveland $50 plurality. 1t is
more than evident that the official count must be
awaited. Fifth avenue, in front Of republican
headquarters, is packed with cheering people. At
the democratic headquarters they say that the
late news shows the republicans arr trying to steal
the state. Tribune 2 p. III. bulletin says Blaine
carries New. York. G.. W. A.
