The Latest Revised Figures.

ALBANY, N. Y, Nov. 9.-Governor Cleveland
spent to-day quietly. He attended morning
service at the Fourth Presbyterian Church. The
afternoon and evening was passed at the execu-
tive mansion, with the exception of an hour or
so at the executive chamber attending to private
correspondence. The vote of the county of
Albany was carefully revised last night, and
the plurality found to be $50 instead of
64O The plurality in the State, according
to the official figures received by Chairman
Manning from county clerks, is !, 234.
About fifty prominent Democratic lawyers
met to night and discussed the law relating to
boards of county canvassers in the various
counties throughout the State. The result of
the discussion is that Democratic lawyers will
be present at every board of canvassers on
Tuesday next for the purpose of taking prompt
accon in case any illegal act is attempted on
the part of the canvassers.

THE STOREY ESTATE.
The Reasons Why Mrs. Storey Applied for
the Appointment of a Receiver.

CHICAGO. Nov 8.-Mrs. Eureka c. Storey, by
her attorneys Trumbull, Washburne & Robbins
and Leonard SWEET filed bill in chancery in
&he Circuit Court, this morning, against Anson L.
Storey, Mary E. Farrand, Mary E. Anderson,
Edward p Chaplin and Austin L. Patterson for
the appointment of receiver of the estate of
Ger late husband, Wilbur F. Storey, pending
the contest concerning the validity OF his will.
The bill reeounts the ante nuptial contract estl-
mates the value of the Chicago Times and its
property to be 81 900 0OO and claims that Mr.
Storey owned 5000, 900 worth of other real estate
at says that his debts are about $3.50 600 of which
$500, 900 is secured by mortgages on the real es-
tate 1t says that Mr. Storey left will dated
Feb 1, 1881, and in it made Mrs Storey his ex-
ecutrix directing her to conduct the Times until
1t could be sold TO profit. At the same time
that it was fled, however, the respondents filed
petition for the appointment of an administra-
tor, implying that the will was not valid and
would be contested.
The bill says that if an administrator to col
3ect should be appointed, Mrs. Storey Is e7l-
dently entitled to the appointment, but that an
administrator to collect would not meet the exi-
Pencies of the case. He would have no author
,Sty to employ editors, pay debts, borrow money,
contract for insurance, or do many other things
which must be done in order that the publlca-
ton of the newspaper may be continued and Its
value preserved unimpaired. 1t, therefore,
prays for receiver who, under the direction of
l4he court, shall administer the affairs of the
hestate until the contest over the will has ended.
At 10 o'clock Judge Trumbull and Mr.. Swett
FOR the complainant, and Mr. Goudy, for the
respondents appeared in Judge Tullys court,
and asked that a time be set to argue the mo-
.tior for a receiver, and, after considerable de-
bate, it was set for next Wednesday morning at
10 o'clock sharp.

A DEMOCRATIC PROCLAMATION.
The New York State Committee Charging
Frauds Upon the Republicans.
Nrxy VOpU Nav -Tha fnlloyino address

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.-Ihe following address
was issued day:
HEADQUARTERS OF THE DEMOCRATIC STATE
COMMITTEE, HOFFMAN HOUSE,
New YORK, Nov. 9, 1884
We deem it our duty to announce to the peo-
pie of the State that the Republican managers
have within the last forty eight hours, conceived
new scheme for throwing again into dispute
the result of the election in our State For
many days after the election they, in entire bad
faith claimed for the Republican candidate sew
erai States which the knew they had not carried
In the same bad faith when every source OF IN
formation including the Associated Press, has
demonstrated that the vote of New York has
been given to the Cleveland electors, they still
claim the State. No fact of history
is now better known than that
the results of the election ascertained,
declared and certified by the election officers,
and of public record throughout the State, give
New York to the Cleveland electors by decisive
plurality. These public certified returns have
been sifted in the several counties by both par
ties with the most conscientious care during the
last four days until every possible doubt as to
the result has been removed. Knowing this
fact tHey now propose as a last desperate resort
to make of the boards of county canvassers
throughout the State, where controlled by them,
so many returning boards, after the
pattern not long since used by them in
the Southern States. Wherever the boards
fail them judicial orders are to be applied
for. Thus relying upon the partisanshlp OF the
board in the first place, and judges of their own
political faith in the second, they intend and
expect to throw again into dispute the result Of
the election, and involve the country in inter
minabe litigation. To this end, printed papers
have been sent by them to their agents and rep
resentatives in every county in the State OF New
York to be used vii the courts whenever an
occasion can be manufactured Of the entire
reliability of our information as to this scheme
there can be no question. We call upon
the representatives of the party in the
various counties of this State to be alert and
by every proper method to resist and defeat
this desperate device And mindful of the grave
consequences to the business interests of our
State which such conspiracy necessarily in
wolves, we deem it our duty to assure our peo-
pie, who have generally acquieseed in the
such scheme or device will the State be de-
prived of the result of its deliberate choice.
1t may disturb and protract the determination
but it will not change the result

quired to Determine the Result.
Washington Special.
General Butler is in the city. He says nobody
yet knows the result of the election. 1.-The Re
publieans admit only that in the face of the re
turns Mr. Cleveland has small plurality. That
is ALL That is, that in total of / 200 900 votes
the footings show him TO be little in the lead.
How many errors there are in the returns made
or in the footings nothing but an official canvass
can tell. 1 don't believe that it is possible for
any set of men to foot up 1900 900 votes sep
arately, as cast in the different precincts, with
out making mistakes. | feel quite certain that
errors will be discovered. They may be in
Ceveands favor or they may elect Blame.
Why look at Massachusetts, The day after
election it was given out that Blaines plurality
was 10000 when in fact it was %, 600 Now,
there is no State in the Union that collects cleo
ton returns so rapidly as Massachusetts. There
is no polling place more than four miles from a
relay station. Well, you could put four such
States Massachusetts in New York, and yet
it is pretended that we have the correct returns
from that State"

SAMUEL FEssENDEN, Secretary"

The following address was issued by the Re
publican national committee this evening:
''The Republican national committee are
taking the most careful and thorough meas
ures TO ascertain the errors, if any have been
made, and the frauds, if any have been com
mitted in the returns of the late election in the
State Of New York. If Mr. Cleveland shall be
found to have a plurality of even
one vote, a prompt acquiescence will
follow from the Republicans of the United
States. If Mr.. Blaine shall be found to have
plurality of only one vote, the same prompt
acquiescence will be expected from the Demo
Gratis of the United States. The belief Of this
committee, founded upon Investigation is that
Mr. Blaine has plurality of several hundred
votes and, if that be so, every honest
man will demand that it be officially declared.
Until the official declaration shall be made, we
ask the public to unite with us in an honorable
effort to secure perfectly fair count. Purity
in elections is the only safety for republican in
stitutions. b. F. JONES' Chairman.

THE FIRE RECORD.
Burning of the Entire Business Portion of
Palatxa, Fla.


Palatka, Fla.
PALATKA, Fla, Nov. 8.-Palatka has been
fravaged by fiames which have destroyed every
business house in the place except the two
groceries The loss is $3.50 OO0 and the insur-
ances $3.50, ,000sf 10 thedesolateness of the stu
Satior is added the apprehension of a negro up
rising, The fire broke out about II o'clock last
might in a small building used as a store room
dor furniture, and situated behind negro bar
ber-shop. A gale prevailed, and the flames
spread with rapidity which baffled all efforts
to check them. Palatka had but one engine
and aid was telegraphed for and obtained from
Jacksonville The Hotel Palatka was one Of
the first buildings to catch, and was burned
almost over the heads of it's guests, many of
whom escaped in their night clothes. One
affrghted negress threw her baby from a win
dow, but it was caught in blanket and not
hurt Devereaux, Rogers Il Sons mammoth
dry goods and grocery establishment was soon
ablaze, and in the midst of the couhagration
keg of powder burst, scattering debris and sparks
in every direction. Two firemen were injured
by flying timbers, Buildings across the street
were ignited and the fire travelled with uncon-
trollab1e fury. Griffns large brick block and
Graham's Hotel were soon consumed. Colonel
Harts buildings, four in number, were soon
ablaze, and the whole business portion of the
city became roaring furnace. The Larkin
House, magnificent building, almost exclu-
sively patronized by Northern tourists. was
leveled to the ground, and the Putnam House,
which catered to the same class of trade, also
fell. The Presbyterian Church was also burned.
All efforts to learn the individual losses and in
surance have proved unavaiing Fifty-six bust
ness firms were burned out. Many of the suffer
ers lose their all and will be unable to resume.
The fire is attributed to incendiarism.
