WILL BE HONORED.

WILL BE HONORED.
Competent Em plOyes 10 be Retained in
Ofice-Democrats in all Parts of the
Country Celebrating the Great Victory
The Republicans Still Trying to Steal
New York.
WASHINGTON, Nov. S.-Washington has
practically come to the conclusion that Cleye-
land is elected. Everybody feels relieved
from the intense strain Of the week. The
clerks were at work as usual to-day. No ex-
tras were issued, and the streets were quiet.
Ofcourse, a large numberO of Republicans con-
tinue TO hope that in some way Blaine may be
pulled through, but most of them are con-
sciOus Of hoping against hope. The effect Of
Cleveland's election is discussed here as
though it had been officially announced. Gen.
eral confidence has been restored. The gen.
eral opinion is that while local trade may be
dull this winter that it wal not be
permanently injured, and that no
other local "business interest will suffer.
Nopermanent depression in real estate is eX-
pected. The city is too large. The hotel
business will be greatly improved this winter
by the change in the administration. The
rush for rooms has alread begun The Sam
uel J. Randall Association of Philadelphia,
to-day engaged accommodations at the Riggs
House for the Cleveland inaugural period.
The general opinion among Well-InfOrmed
men is that Cleveland will enforce the civil
service reform law IN letter anu spirit, and
that no good clerk need tremble for his place.
Many Of the clerks have come around to this
comforting assurance. The Democrats are,
Of course. Jubiant. They will celebrate next
Thursday night. Meanwhile the Republicans
will talk about p lssble change until the re-
suit is officially announced.
Senator Beck, Of Kentucky, said to a re-
porter to-day that all was settled just as 1t
would be on March 4, when Cleveland would
go into the White House.
How about the policy of the new admins

policy"

As a matter of course Democrats are now
quite generally discussing Cievelands prob

A CABINET ON PAPER.
Quite number have fixed mp the following
slate:
Secretary of state-AHen G. Thurman, of
Ohio.
Secretary of the Treasury-samuel J. Ran
dan, Of Pennsylvania.
Secretary OF the interiOr-HOn. Carl SchurZ,
OF New York.
Secretary of the Nay y-Gen. Eppa Hunton,
Secretary Of War-Cep- Ceorne R NcCIel-
Ian, OF New Jersey
Attorney tjeneral-Hon. Joseph E. McDon-
aid, OF Indiana.
Postmaster Geleral-J. IL. Reagan, of
Texas.
This slate omits the name of one man whom
many believe will he am0ng the first to be
chosen. that is Senator German, of Maryland.
Tue Democrats are giving great credit to Mr..
German for his management OF the canvass,
and very many believe that if he wants Il
Cabinet position he viii get it. Another
name mentioned by some is that of eN-Scna-
tor Davis, of West Virginia. But he inti-
mated to a reporter to-day that he did not
wan any public position. He said that he
retired from the Senate because his private
affairs demanded all his attention. Speaking
of Gov. Cleveland, he added that he felt sure
that the Governor would move very slowly IN
making changes in the departments. He did
not think that good. efficient clerks had any
cause for apprehension, but he did believe
that government officials, who have made
themselves conspicuous as partisans, would
have to go.
THE FIGHT IN NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, Nov. s.-Secretary Fessender,
of the Republican National Committee, this |
afternoon mad a conversation at police head |
quarters with John J. O'Brien and President |
French, OF the Police Department. ana at It's /
conclusion telegraphed TO AIR. Ekins and /
George Bliss, or any others who might be at |
the Republican headquarters, to come down |
at once 10 the police headquarters, as some |
thing of great Importance demanded their !
immediate attention. 1t is stated that mis- |
takes have been found in the Twenty fourth |
Assembly district and Westchester county, |
which. when corrected, will give 400 votes in |
favor of Blaine.
THE ELECTIONS BUREAU.
The Bureau of Elections of this city of |
which John j. O'Brien is 2 Supervisor. claims |
to have discovered a discrepancy of 425 votes |
in favor of Blaine in the additions IN several /
of the lists of votes. The iaWyers' committee /
that has been examining the returns for two
days found them correct, but made no addi-
tiOns. On the other hand additions were
made by Republicans and Democrats before
the returns were sent to the bureau. A re-
vision at the police headquarters of the cleo
tOral vote cast in Kings county shows 69.24S
for Cleveland and 1854 votes for Blaine. A
Cleveland plurality over Blaine Of 1874.
ANOTHER ADDRESS.
The following address was issued by the
Republican National Committee this morn
ing:
REPUBLICAN NATL HEADQUARTERS :
NEW YORK. Nov. s. lSSi.l
The Republican National Committee are
taking the most careful and thorough meas
ures TO ascertain errors. if any have been
made. and frauds if any have been committed,
in the returns of the late election in the State
Of New York. If MIR. Cleveland shall be found
to have a plurality of even one vote
prOmp acquescence will follow from the Re-
publicans of the United States. IL Mr. Blaine
shall be found to have plurality of only one
vote prompt acquiescence will be expected
from the Democrats of the United States. The
belief of this committee, founded upon inves-
tigatiOu, is that Mr.. Blaine has plurality of
several hundred votes, and if that
be so every honest man will demand
that il be officially declared. Until the Offi-
cial 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
stituUOns. B. F. JONES, Chairman.
;. FEssENDEN, Secretary.
