probabilities are that neither will con-

canvass the vote. Meanwhile both
parties have. taken steps to insure an
honest count, and nothing remains but
to await the verdict.

PROCLAMATION BY THE DEMOCRATIC
;sg4&$ 81 I STATE COMMQTTEE. "
New York, Nov. 9.-Headquarters
Democratic State Committee, Hoffman
House, New York, Nov. 9.-We deem
1t our duty to announce to the people
Of the state that the. Republican mana
gers have within the last forty-eight
hours conceived q new scheme for
throwing again into dispute the result
of the election in Jul state. For sew
eral days after the election they, in en-
tire bad faith, claimed for the Repub-
ttcan candidates several states which
they knew they had not carried. In
the same bad faith, when every source
OF information, including the ,Associ-
Ated Press, has demonstrated that the
vote of New York has been given to
the. Cleveland electors, they still claim
that state. No fact of history is now
better known than that the results of
the election as ascertained, declared,
and certified by the election Of officers,
and on public record throughout. the
state, give New York to the Cleve-
land electors by a decisive plurality.
. ! These public certified returns have
been sifted in the several counties by
both parties with the most conscien-
tious care during the last few days,
d until every possible doubt as to the ra-
Sieult has been removed. Knowing this
Fact, they now propose, as q last des-
Il perate resort, to make of the boards of

those not long since used by them in
the Southern States. E Wherever the
boards fail then judicial orders are to
be applied for Thus, relying upon
the craftsmanship of the boards, in the
first place, and judges of their own
political faith in the second, they in
s. tend to throw again into dispute the
result of the election and :, involve in it
interminable obligation. Us -. d..
this end printed papers have been
sent by them to their agents and rep
tsentadves in every county in the state
Of New York, to be used with the
courts whenever an occasion can be
manufactured. Of the entire RELIABLE

there can be no question. We call
lpOn5 the; representatives of the party
IN the various counties in:this state to

t0:reSist and defeat this last desperate
device. S&5fAnd mindful of the grave
consequences to the business interests
a..of our state which such a conspiracy
