"The Associated Press has now the
Official returns from each district OF every
county, and, as footed up, they show n
small Republican plurality. The totals
differ from those ulade by the Democratic
State Committee on the returns from the
County Clerks Of each county. but the
figures received by the Associated Press
from each district are the sa,ne as received
by the County Clerks OF the respective
counties OF the State.
The result Is now to be decided upon
the accuracy Of the footing up OF the
totals as between the Associated Press and
the Democratic State and National Com
mittees. About midnight the Associated
Press will send out its figures on every
county completed and revised, and will at
the same time issue the to,als, based on
the figures OF the County Clerks. The
public will then -f1avr to take its choice OF
the figures, or wait until the official count
settles the question. The present indica-
tons point to- 4 plurality Of $50 for Blaine"

The Erening Telegram this evening
prints an interview with Agent French OF
the Associated Press. He makes the fol-
lowing statement: .-i@ss.! !.
About Il or u o'clock tonight We will
give our footings and a comparison with
the figures OF the County Clerks. The
election is very close, and a slight error in
our footings or in those Of the clerks
would throw the. result either way. We
have discovered errors in three counties,
the names Of which l do not
care to give just yet. These are
errors by the confession. oi the county
clerks. There was one serious error in
the iootings OF the Associated Press. That
occurred in Westchester county, and was
caused by blurred figure, which was
taken io- g. That gave Cleveland 500
more votes. But, notwithstanding this,
Mr.. Blaine will still have lead, though a
very slight one." .-ss!:-.

THEY DO NOT CoSCEDE.

They do not concede anything that will
give Blaine aplurality. OF course there is
a very unsettled and excited condition OF
feeling on the streets around the respective
headquarters in view Of the undetermin-
ed result. The police have twice
tonight charged and scattered great
assemblage in front Of the Republican
headquarters in order to check incipient
riotous indications. There is much ir1c-
sponsible talk Of impending, trouble, but
after seeing the so-called anti-iraud dem
onssration in front Of the Treasury on
Wall street break up to-day without har.
rangue from a reputable orator, i think
that the conservative element OF both par
ties can be safely trusted to irown down
the incendiary schemes Of desperate mer.
GOOD ORDER INSURED.
/; Il large reserves OF policemen have been
held ready for two nights past, and they
have resolved to control every riotous
tendency. The result OF the vote in this
State may or may not be certainly deter.
mined tomorrow. There are $500 elec.
ton districts in the State and you can see
what work it is to verify them in detail.
AS to an opinion OF the final result it is
not worth while to express one. As a
matter Of fact no man in New York can
tell who is elected. Il u 4 4. ". {. 4

Arsucl time there should be no great
gatherings of people-no parades and no
mass meetings. This is the best way to
avoid trouble, in which some inconsid-
crate person might involve crowd. No
thing is to be gained now by men coming
together in large numbers.

New York, Nov. 7.-During the greater
part Of the day it looked as ii the Presi-
Dental contest was virtually settled in
favor Of Cleveland, especially after it was
generally known that Jay Gould had sent
consrasulatory dispatch to Albany salus-
ing him as President-elect. Nine out Of
ten people seemed to take it for granted
that he was the final winner in wonder
fully close race. But late in the afternoon
the news once more changed. It was an
nounced that the official returns were at
last all in from every election district of
every county in the State, and that they
showed plurality for Blaine instead Of
Cleveland. q. q

How the Discrepancy In Figures was Pre-,
dneed. Ilg9
New YoRK, Nov. The returns re.
ce:ved from county clerks are what so sud.
denly changed TO Cleveland plurality iorr
Blaine in this State which the election dis.
trict returns earlier used had given him.
The county clerks returns thus far give to
Cleveland one thousand plurality. :,
The question, "Who has carried New
York state?' is now chiefly a question Of
tile accurate iootinss OF long columns Of
figures. The footings by the county
clerks, with only few missing, indicate
that Cleveland has about one thousand
plurality. A
DIFFERENCE.
The footings Of the election districts
made the Associated Press Office ind-
cate that Blaine has nearly equal plu-
rality. Twelve districts up to $ o'clock
this morning had not reported at all.
Some sixty others had reported, but
their accuracy was questioned, and
they will be verified to-day. The whole
list OF count will be carefully re-added
to-day: and the result Of that addition, as
well as the result OF the completion OF the
county clerks figures, will be sent out by
the Associated Press. This work will
probably not be completed before night.
THE LATEST REVISION.
The revision OF figures in Westchester
county shows clerical error in the .isso-
ciated. Press iootings. This correction
gives Cleveland five hundred more votes
than previous statement, based on elec-
ton districts. 4 difference OF nearly AL
has been found in Cattaraucus county be-
tween the Associated Press iootines and
the return OF the County Clerks.
ii the latters fispres stand they will in
crease Blaine's plurality by Al if moi
there will be- no change. An effort has
been made to get the election districts re-
peated separately. The iootinss OF dis
tricts as. received in the Associated Press
office are correct. The only possibility Of
error is in the returns having been incor-
rect at first. namely, too favorable to
Cleveland. The situation at r. NJ. is
this: Several errors have been discovered
which, except rs 10 ,one i'll West
chester county, very, nearly balance.
WILL ne VERY CLOSE.
The indications are growing stronger
that the vote will be nearer even than
any estimates haye yet conceded. Many
counties are yet to be revised. however,
and the work will be slow and tedious. II
is necessary, since in every case where a
discrepancy is discovered or doubt raised
the election district returns are inquired
for. At this late hour it is not always
easy to secure these promptly.
