 NEW YORK, Nov. 10.-Everything is in readiness for the commencement of the off cial canvass of the votes by the Board of Al dermen sitting as board of supervisors to- morrow The Aldermen will meet at noon tomorrow in the county clerks office and or ganize as a board of supervisors, be sworn in and proceed to the City Hall Some forty clerks will be appointed as the work this year is very heavy and the vote for each pres identiaI eIector on each electoral ticket will have to be called out and will take up great amount of time. The law provides that the canvass shall be completed and transmitted to the Secretary of State within twenty days after election day. It is not probable that any of the votes will be can vassed tomorrow as the board will only or ganize and make it's appointments and map out the work for each succeeding day Messrs Miller, Vanderpoel, Barlow, Stetson and Stickney will be present during the canvass to guard the Democratic interests The Republicans will probably have Hon. William M. Evarts, Clarence A. Seward, General Tracy and Colonel Bliss to see that there is fair count for Blaine and to meet any objections or legal points that may arise. The canvass will occupy at least ten days provided no legal complications arise.
 Mir C. D. Miller was spoken to to-day by reporter regarding the errors and discrepan- cies by the committee of lawyers represent ing the National Democratic committee, of which he is a member, in the cleo ton returns. We must positively decline" said he, 'Fto make known our fig ures or the results we have arrived at, as it would be playing into the hands of the Re publicans. This, however, may be said, that we have found no more errors and that those already discovered will not reduce MT Cleve- lands plurality over fifty" 'Is there any foundation for John E. Brodsky's statement that his figures and yours are the same and that his footings show 426 less plurality for Cleveland than already published" ''Not particle of truth in it. There is no such discrepancy except perhaps in Mir Brodsky's mind" He has no idea what fig ures we are figuring and we do not pro- pose to let him know. We neither know or care how and what he is figuring on, but if he makes out any such reduction in Cleve- lands plurality as 426 he is all at sea and doesn't know what he is talking about"
 MT. Daniel Manning, chairman of the Democratic State committee, arrived in this city to-day from Albany and had long in terview with Senators German and Jonas of II-- No&io al Manning said he had learned enough to con- vince him that the Republican National com mittee had concocted a scheme to have alterations made in the vote of certain counties in this State to make it appear that Blaine Jones and the other Blaine managers, MT. Manning said, were we'll aware of the fact that the returns showed on their face that Governor Cleveland had carried the State, but they calculated by interruptions meth ods on making the result at least doubtful and throwing the question of the election in to the courts and finally into Congress. MT Manning stated that the Repubi can National committee had since last Friday agents in every county in the State who were resorting to the most disreputable means to bolster up some charge of fraud in the hope of being able to have certain districts which gave Cleveland plurality thrown out by the board of canvassers. MT. Manning and Senators German and Jones discussed the situation and they said they had taken such precautions against the tactics which the Republicans are employing that the corrupt designs of Steve Elkins and his co-partners will be defeated. MT. Manning reports that his ad- vices from every county in the State show that the Democrats are on the alert and that they will closely watch the counting of the vote by the county board of canvassers which commences in every county of the State to- morrow except in Hamilton. The Democrats will be represented by the best legal talent they can command and it will be insisted on in every case that the votes be counted as in dicated in the returns of the various county clerks, making proper allowance for purely clerical errors.
 The four inspectors of the Twenty-fourth election district of the First Assembly dis trict, who were arrested on Saturday charged with tampering with the election returns, were arraigned to-day before Justice Duffy at the Tombs police court During the ex- animation of the prisoners it was shown that a copy of the canvass had been found in the It was also shown they had been taken there by mistake by the Republican poll clerk of the district, Gillian. A copy of the missing canvass sheet was taken and the original was sent to the county clerks office. Two other copies
 
 which will be sent to the bureau of elections and the other to the board of supervisors The prisoners were locked up for the night and tomorrow will furnish bail for examination next Monday.
 The Republican national headquarters are practically closed, but the committee has leased the building until the 18th prox. and will then confer until that date. John Vroo- man of the Republican State committee said to-day that the Democrats claim only 861 in the State and that the Democratic investiga- tion of returns in this city has thus far cut down that number by errors in MT. C1eveland's favor, leaving only 436. At the Democratic State committee's headquarters, however, the statement was made: s<We are all right and are only struggling now to save what is already ours" The Democrats claim to have received letter from Indiana to-day alleging that John c. New and others had matured plan to raise the returns in certain counties and that Gin Browns dis trict in one county the returns had been raised some hundreds.'' It is also stated that in one precinct in Troy, N. Y., twenty affidavits have been secured tending to prove that more Butler votes were cast than were counted.
