DEMOCRATIC ADDRESS
Hcadq'rs National Democratic Committee,
No II West Twenty Fourth Street,


New York, Nov. Z, 1884
There can no longer be any question
concerning the actual result Of the presi>
Dental election. Grover Cleveland and
Thomas A. Hendricks have majority of
eighteen in the electoral college 1t is
not worth while for our adversaries to
claim the electoral vote of the state of
New York. 1t is absolutely certain that
the returns Of the proper officers of elec~
ton, on the night of the 4th of Novem-
Der, showed decisive plurality in the
state for the electors supporting Cleve-
land and Hendricks. If any different or
altered returns are now being prepared,
as are promulgated, they are corrupt
falsifcations of the records of the state of
New York and the men aiding and abitt-
ing the making of such reports are crimi>
nails. 1t is not expected that you will
family submit to the Vaccinations of
such men. Let them understand that you
will not recognize fraud. At noon to
morrow, through the United States, the
actual election of Cleveland and Hen
bricks by firing national salutes will be
announced. Meet to morrow night
through the country and express your
opinions in a manner that can't be mis-
understood. The men of New York are
resolved not to smbmit to the gross outrage
attempted to be pcrpetrated upon these
rights, and will speak for themselves.
