lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.
BosToN Nov. s.-The Importance of a recount in
| closely contested elections is illustrated to-day
pointedy in the neighboring city of Salem, where
in eight OF the nine precincts, mistakes in the vote
| for Senator were made, and in seven out ofthe
eight the mistakes were all in favor of the Demo-
cratic candidate. Tho Republicans IN Boston be-
| leve that recount in New-YOrk State may give
| Mr. Blaine large gains and n}orc than enough to
elect him. The excitement here is rapidly subsid-
ing. The first quiet night in tho newspaper offices
hero since Monday was Friday. "A few hundred
| people are gathered around each of the bulletin
boards o-day.
feeling of dissatisfaction over the result seems
to pervade both parties as rule. Intelligent DEM
ocrats are not disposed to make vigorous claims OF
success. Many frankly avow q doubt as to the
result, and express the hope that they may iether
win or be beaten;by decided majority leaving no
doubt as to the result They want 10 opportunity
for the cry of "Fraud" The newspaper converts
to the Democratic party are vigorous in their
claims than are tho old party organs
The fact that even The Adrertisr reduced its
bulletin estimate of Cleveand's plurality in New
York to some figure between 700 and 200 was
especially SOLDERING to the Cleveland shOuters and
the reaction from their previous over confidence
produced in some cases positive revulsion to tho
other extreme Of dependency.
FOR the hrst time SAID o Cleveland Defnocrat,
who up to this morning has maintained an un.
shaken and somewhat aggressive confidence, Il
concede that there is reason to fear Mr.. Blaine's
election have not doubted that Mr. Clevelands
plurality In New York would be at least 10000 or
is 900 but now that it is evidently matter OF
hundreds either way, in a vote OF i.lOO,OOO,
would be almost miracle II sODc clerical error
has not been committed sufficient to turn the scale
one way or the other. | am afraid Mr.; Blaine may
prove to be elected after all. The Independents
aud the Prohibitonists profess themselves SO far
satisfied with their achievements in the present
campaign as to think il worth while to keep their
organization. The PrOhibitionlsts are rejoiced to
find that after the campaign bills are paid there
will probably be enOugh money left to run their
campaign headquarters through the year, and they,
too win try TO perfect and extend their present
organization.
