generally agreed to-day by law-ablding
citizens that the official vote must be
awaited before the question of who carries
New York can be settled. There was no
disposition on the part of the Republl-
cans to DENY the claims advanced by the
Democrats. The Republican position is
this, simply stated, that the largest vote
ever cast in New York has been polled. 1t
exceeds 1900, 900. Out of this immense
number of ballots deposited in thousands
! of boxes in 60 counties of the State, it is
| commended that a plurality Of less than
1900 votes has been given. Blaine's
| friends don't claim an excess of that, nor
do Cleveland's. The question as to who
received this plurality, thus far official
figures nave failed satisfactorily to demon
strate. Both sides have said that the
other was beaten, and the great body OF
the people will have none of such deci-
sions. A body has been legally consti-
tuted for such a purpose and happily that
body is one in which every fair and rea-
| sonable man has profound confidence.
This is the situation to-day and it is one
that will be maintained. The question
will be settled in an official manner, and
what objection can be made by anyone
who has the welfare of his country at
heart? Up to l o'clock to-day there has
been no change in the vote of the State as
reported. This mornings papers gave
Cleveland a plurality of l,460.
About the comparison of returns IN
this city, the two sets that we're compared
were at a point where comparatively little
change is likely to be made by a further
revision. While the Associated Press re-
turns from election districts appear to
vary considerably from the figures
we obtained, and give some
countenance TO the claim of
the Republican National Committee
that Blaine has carried the State by a very
small plurality, yet We have SO far been
unable to discover any reason for express
ing q material change in the result as
shown by our own carefully collected re-
turns, which give Cleveland a plurality Of
|, 206 in this State. The Times computes
the plurality of Cleveland at 1861. The
Herald places Cleveland's plurality at
1906. The World says Cleveland's proba-
BILE plurality in the State is l,424. A
Tribune extra says estimates as to the re-
suit in this State continue huctuating.
The returns from time to time come in
such a Way as to show that the margin is
30 narrow that an official count will be in
dispensable to determine the result.
The Sun Gives up the Fight.
New YORK, Nov. S.-The Sun says one
of the most remarkable features of the
exceedingly close and exciting election has
been the wide discrepancy between the
various computations of the result of New
York State, offered to the public from
different sources. Not only have both
sides claimed a plurality for their candi-
dite, but their estimates have been as
much as 90, 900 apart. Although it WAS
asserted Monday morning that the result
must be very close, the returns collected
by the Sun from every county in the State
AVE from the first indicated a small
plurality for Cleveland, and when this has
been slowly cut down as the collected
figures have reached us, it seems now to
nave reached those delivered to the County
Clerk and those Of the Police Com
missioner.
Blaine Not Going to New York.
NEW YORK, Nov. S.-The Republican
NatioHai Sonuitteo ucny WAS MI. Dihiuo
is coming to New York for q conference
with them. They say they have no means
Of determining the result in this State
except by election district returns, and
that they will only take such steps as may
be necessary to protect the parties in in
terest during the progress of the count.
and that to this end counsel will appear
before the County Canvassing Board next
Tuesday. The oomittee say they want
nothing but fair play. and what the law
allows in the determination Of the result
by those authorized to pass upon the re-
turns, and this. as q matter OF course. they
are bound to insist upon.
Ma over Democratic Success.
LOUISVILLE, Ky, Nov. 8.-Louisville
has been taking things quietly. and anx-
iously await definite election returns, but
tonight the city has gone mad over the
Democratic success. The Courier journal
took the initiative in decorating its build
ing, and the city now is handsomely
decorated with flags, bunting, etc. Old
men and boys vie with each other in cele-
b~rating, and the streets are filled with en-
thusiastic citizens, who rejoice and shout
for Democracy and reform. A mass rati-
ication meeting is called for Saturday.
Fraud Charged.
ALBANY, Nov. 8.-The Evening Journal
claims to have discovered an election
fraud in the Twelfth Ward in this city.
1t charges that the figures were so altered
as to elect the Democratic County Treas
urer, when all the figures on election
night elected the Republican Treasurer.
| should this count be thrown out, Cleve-
land would lose $50 votes, although il is
not charged there were any frauds in
regard to the Electors.
Indiana Conceded to the Demo-
Gratis.
INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. Son the basis OF
the latest official returns reported, In
diana has given a Democratic plurality of
$500. The Republican State Central
Committee comedies this much. The
Democrats claim 1900 majority. This
