room was filled with politicians anG
lawyers representing the Republican
and Democratic parties. Committee,
ON protest and on corrected re,
turns were appointed, and the canvass OF the

ancies or omissions. On motion the whole

The Mail and Express this afternoon saws
the official canvass of the vote of this state
| is in progress to-day and few changes were
made by the canvassers yesterday. 1t is now
generally conceded that the vote of the
counties above Harlem Bridge cannot be
changed TO affect Clevcland's plurality. An
accidental error may wipe out his plurality,
and on this alone are based the hopes of the
| Republicans. At midnight forty of the
! sixty counties had been heard from officially.
| They give a net gain of thirty-three for
Cleveland, leaving his plurality at l,225.
According TO the claims of the Democrats,
this practically ends any probability of any
serious increase TO Baine's majority in the
rurel counties. Although il is fair TO bear
in mind that where gains are expected the
canyass is DELAYED. and in that case it may
vet be present in eight or ten counties
where cast has been made up. The real
fight is in this city and the Republicans
hopes were greatly dampened when Eliha
Root announced yesterday that he found
the majority TO be 1926, wiping out the
gain of 42e votes announced Saturday. The
total number of votes upon which, in some
form or another, Geo. Bliss expects to take
exception to the informal count already had,
is about 1900. About one-third of these
are defective or blank ballots and the rest
are Butler and st. John and other votes
which were miscounted. excluded or other
wise aided 10 swell the Cleveland vote.
Only thirty-nine counties have reported
officially up TO 8 p. IN. In Jefferson county
Blaine gains eight. Blaine's total gains in
the thirty-nine counties are eleven votes;
his total losses seven. All Of Clevelands
pluralities have remained unchanged.
Baine's net gain so far in the canvass be-
fore has been four votes.
1t is expected that the official canvass of
Albany county will be completed this after
noon. Nothing has vet been heard from
Columbia or Greene counties.
