HEADQUARTERS OF THE REPUBLICAN,
| NATIONAL COMMITTEE OF New
York.
The Republican national committee re-
joioes that the returns now received warrant
it in announcing the triumph Of Blaine and
Logan. The Republicans have carried ev-
cry northern state except New Jersey and
Connecticut Virginia seems also to have
gone for the Republican cause and
ucSet, and there Is very strong
probability that West Virginia has also,
while other southern states are still in doubt.
| The northern states alone, however, give
Blaine and Logan 23S electoral votes, and
insure their election. In New York, at
tempts to tamper with the returns has al
ready been detected. The actual vote cast
in New York city, Kings county, and.1 ,S52
other election precincts give at the most I4S
plurality to Grover Cleveland, while 1863 pre-
cincts not heard from gave 2,171 plurality
70 Garfield. There is, therefore, no
ground for doubt that the honest
vote of the state has been given to
the Republican candidates, and though the
defeated candidate for presidency is at the
head of the election machinery in this state,
the Democratic party, which has notori-
ously been the party of fraud in elections
for years, will not be permitted to thwart tine
will of the people. The national Republi-
can committee calls on the chairman and in
l.,.1
to take the promptest and most stringent
means to protect the sanctity of the ballot.
The, Republican candidates have been hon
estly elected beyond question, and any at
tempt to cheat the people or to defeat their
will thus expressed at the polls must be
surely exposed and resisted by every law re-
specting citizen.
Signed, b. +. JONES, Chairman.
SAMUEL FEssENDEN, City Chairman.
In New York State there are vet to be
heard from fifty-three election districts,
which, in 1880, gave Garfield plurality ag-
gregating 900, and Hancock pluralities
aggregating S53. These districts are situat-
ed in the following counties: Allegheny,
Catarsgus, Duchess, Livingston, Madison,
Montgomery, Essex, Oneida, Otsego, St.
Lawrence, Schuyler, Steben, Sullivan and
Westchester. The Republican plurality in
the state, with these So districts to hear
from, is 236.
The political feeling on the streets has
been intense ever since the election, and is
now rapidly assuming bitterness, and good
nature seems to be vanishing and trouble
may arise. the entire police force is on
duty, and a reserve will be held at stations

pie by fraudulent count and false returns.
