ing DAY" in the Police Court and
Before q. S. Commissioner
CardoZa.
After Preliminary Enquiry the Cases Con-
tinued to Future Dates-What Was Told
by Witnesses and Said by Attorneys.

1t wasn't a favorable morning for CROWDS
with the quicksilver making a cool twenty
below In the bulb, and when the case OF j.
NJ. Hussey was called in the police court yes
terdav the attendance therefore was small
but very select. Hussey will be remembered
as the youth who formerly held down the cir
culation, not very arduous case OF hold
either, of the evening dip known as the Day,
and who has suddenly had unproportioned
notoriety thrust upon him by his arrest on
the charge Of larceny, which grew out OF his
alleged attempt to go back on the
plant and give the Day away
He was arraigned yesterday on the charge Of
of stealing route map, or more plainly
speaking chart showing the streets and
places Of residences of the list subscri-
bers TO the publication in whose employ he
was. The map is supposed to possess an alb
stract or relative value, and as he couldn't
have been arrested on the charge of conspi-
racy, as at first alleged, he was yanked on
the minor count.
Pending the disposal of the minor cases
County Attorney Egan and a GLOBE reporter
were engaged in the laudable and
pi -dSdUb "a S'N~-A .
their toes, when Stanley Waterloo,
the editor-in-chief of the Day, sauntered
into the court room and seated himself across
from the table where sat Hussey. Thereupon
a sort of optical telegraphy was introduced
between the men, who gazed rather fondly
on each other, as if to say, "What chumps
we were to give the snap away in this man
ner," and in couple of minutes Hussey
slipped note to Waterloo, who read the
epistle, and they both seemed pleased.
When the case of Hussey was finally
reached Mr.. Il. L. Williams, attorney for the
brash young man, said he would like to have
the examination continued as he had just
been retained (sic) and wanted an opportu-
nifty of looking into the merits of the case.
Judge Burr inquired how much time he
wanted and Mr.. Williams said it would prob
ably take a day or two to hear the case.
''We are not in the habit Of spending days
over cases like this in this court" remarked
Judge Burr, and after some further palaver
the hearing was set for next Tuesday at p.
m. He was released on the same bonds.

Tumble
And Says There is Little Hope for
Blaine.
The Very Latest From the Seat of
War"
GIVES IT UP.
The Fight TO be Made in Brooklyn
and New York.

NEW YORK, November l2.-The Mail
and Express this afternoon says: The
official canvass of the vote of this State is
in progress today. Few changes were
made by the canvassers yesterday. 1t is
now generally conceded the vote ofthe coun-
ties above Harlem bridge cannot be changed
to effect Cleveland plurality. An acciden'
tai error may entirely wipe out the plurali'
tv, and on this alone we based tde hopes OF
the Republicans. AT midnight 10 of the
co counties had been heard from officially.
They gave net gain Of SO for Cleveland,
leaving his plurality at 1925. Ae'
sording to the claims of the Demo
Gratis this practically ends one probability
of any serious increases to Blaine's majori'
ties in the rural counties, although it is fair
to bear in mind where the gains are ex-
pected the Canvassers delayed and a case
may yet be presented in eight or ten coun,
ties where case has has been made up.
The real fight is in this city, and
the Republican hopes were greatly
dampened when Elihu Root announced ye@
terday that he found the majority to be b.
226, thus wiping out the gain Of I26 vote:
announced on Saturday.

SYRACUSE, November l2.-The official
count of Onondago county was completed
last night by committee Of the Board
of Supervisors, who win report to the full
Board this morning, making the Repub-
lican majority Of 3, 726-fgures which do not
vary more than a vote or two from the re-
turns telegraphed to New York city on
Thursday Of last week. The only instance
where question arose was in the case Of
two votes which had torn edges. Madison
cour'ys vote is l,74i for Blaine and is un-
changed by the official count. Wayne is
also unchanged. In Oswego county some
trouble was experienced in getting in the
supervisors returns, but, from the informa-
ton at hand, there Will be no noteworthy
changes.
The Democrats of this city celebrated
Cleveland s election with great hurrah last
night. There was no disturbance whatever
but the Republicans here are fully deter
mined to stand by their man until the Off
cial count shows the true result. The cor.
rectness of the count in this section does not
surprise them, as returns in Central New
York are, as a rule, very correctly and care
fully handled from the first

Anxious Throngs.
New York, November r. Exclusive. J
Up TO - o'clock there was little unusual
stir on the streets. After that hour the
crowds began to swell, and the newspaper
offices were thronged. Each return was
carefully scrutinized and the slightest
change noted. The Mail and Express
is, if possible, more sanguine than ever in
its claims that Blaine will have plurality.
Itsays the changes are to come IN New
York and Brooklyn, and points to the con
tested wards already reached in those two
cities. The Post eXultingly claims that
the official returns 80 far received utterly
destroy any possible hope for the
Republicans. There is one thing that
Democrats should carefully bear in mind.
BY tonight all the outside counties will be
in and the Blaine managers will know eX-
actly how much they need in these two
cities, and with the election board in their
hands they will attempt TO get it But the
Democrats National Comnittee is care
fully watching this, and no fears need be
apprehnded.

by Jacob Altmeyer and others relating to
alleged frauds at Benwood psrpetrated in
favor of Gen. Goff in the late election.
Yes" said the Judge, i'Lhave Just read
it. l saw here, on election day, Democratic
tickets with COTS name at the bottom in
stead of mine for Congress. I suppose they
are the same used at Benwood. 1t seems
they were used all over the district, and
Democrats being deceived used
them, they not being pre-.
pared and printed according to law
Again, they were merely printed for a fraud

were printed in Roman letters, with proper

"Well, ! am satisfied such tickets were

conceal, or rather to make it appear we
were doing the same as they, in that re-
gard. On election day Democratic
tickets with COTS name on were
denounced as Logu$. Almost immcdi-
dtcly a Republican produced Republican
ticket with my name sn it. No such ticket
was printed by Democratic authority here
aud it is probable it came from the same
