In view OF the claims made as 10 the
result OF the election in New York, the

We have received copies Of the official
returns asT filed in the several County
Clerks Offices in all except eleven coun.
ties. Besides this, we have caused care
full re-examination to be made Of the re.
turns forwarded to police headquarters
in New York and Kings counties.
From the remaining nine ~ counties
We have received direct information
from the most reliable sources, and are
justified in asserting with confidence that
the State has gone Republican. The re.
suit thus arrived at is confirmed by an en-

prospecting well, at Soho, proves to be OF
excellent quality Of lubricating Gil. It is
similar to- that found at Smiths Ferry.
The vein is rather light, but it is undoubt-

is anticipated that the other gas wells in
tho vicinity may strike paying pool. The
owners OF the well have decided not to de-
'velop the layer and drilling for gas is still
progressing, The drill is pounding rock at
nearly 5000 feet below the surface, The

The intention is to drill for the Washing:

change or manipulation will show u plu.
rality for the Republicans by not less than

Mr.. Blaine adds that the dispatch OF
Daniel Manning, published yesterday, con.
tained the most arrogant and offensive
threat to control the election returns in
the interest OF the Democratic ticket ever
made in any Northern State, and equaled
the worst bulldozing proclamations ever
issued in the South. lie thought its effect
would be to arouse the law.abiding citizens
Of New York, who cannot afford to have
their State reduced to the level OF lawless.

in any personal sense. but profoundly so
on account Of the vast national interests
depending on the result. feel great
pride that no imputation OF fraud has been
seriously uttered against the members OF
the Republican party in any State or dis

pie will accept q fraudulent result. The

Wnry the early edition OF yesterday 8
ly1ELLIsrScER went to press there seemed
little doub! that the Republicans lad car.
,ied New York and elected James G..
DAine presidcn, Of the United States.
This result was confidently elaimedby the
National Republican Committee, and the
returns then received gave assurance that
the claim was we'll founded. ,.
Associated Press dispatches received
shortly before the later edition OF the Is.
tGLLlorScEI went TO press told of alleged
errors which were against the Republi-
cans, Of a Cleveland plurality taking the
place OF Blaine plurality, and OF
Democratic gains instead OF the
expected Republican gains. According
to our adyices at that hour the
triumph OF Governor Cleveland was
strongly indicated. In fairness to its
readers the ISTELLlGEScER could DO no.
thing less than give the news rs it came,
commenting on it at its face value. Ii
Governor Cleveland was elected there
WAS nothing to be gained by Withholding
the fact; and in the event OF Governor
Cleyeland'5 election the 1SrELLloEScEE
assumed that he would be seated without
controversy because the people had willed
it.
The events OF yesterday have put dii-
ferent phase on the matter. Indications
favor the election OF Mr.. Blaine. The
National Republican Committee and Mr..
Blaine himself claim his election. The
Associated Press returns are in the same
strain. There is a reasonable presump-
ton that the Democratic managers, in
their desperation, have attempted to over.
turn the will OF the people by a subse-
quent count.
We rely much on Mr.. Blaine assurance.
He is man experienced in such matters.
With the solicitude OF the leader of q
great party Mr.. Blaine has watched the
returns in their minutest detail. No
man appreciates more fully the great
interests involved, the interests OF parties
anu the higher welfare Of the
whole people. He would be the last man
to claim what is not his due and the hon
es,ly earned victory OF the men who have
supported him. Mr.. Blaine's proclama.
ton to the country comes with all the
force Of words Of truth and soberness.
lit shall continue to appear that Mr..
Blaine has been chosen by the people to
be their Chief Magistrate, the people who
have chosen him will stand by their great
leader to the last, They will not allow
him or themselves to be defrauded OF
that which is justly their due.
The calm dignity OF the people will as
sert the supremacy Of law and right and
justice, no matter what individual or
party may be the beneficiary.
LArEs.-The revised Associated Press
returns give Cleveland plurality. Tie
presumption is now in his favor. Unless
fraud can be shown, or the completed re-
turns show very great change, the State
is his and the Presidency. It will
doubtless take the official count to de-
eide the matter. The people will abide
BY the honestly determined result, what.
ever that may be.
