THE CORRECT THING.
New YORK, Nov. 7.-Owing to the diver
sity of opinion as to the correctness and man
ner in which the returns from this state have
been received and mutilated by the Asso
ciated Press, it has invited committee from
both the Democratic and Republican na
tional and state committees and the news
papers of the city to vistits offices this az
ternoon and examine its returns as received
direct from the various districts throughout
the state and also its mode Of tabulatinl

THE WAY THE RETURNS COME IN.
NEM YoRK, Nov. IA revision of tn,
figures in Westchester county show q cleri
cal error in the Associated Press footings
The correction of this error gives Clevelan'
500 more votes than the previous statemen
based on election districts.
differance of nearly AL has been founr
in Cattaraugus county between the Associ
ated Press footing and the returns of tn
they viii increase Blaine's plurality by AL,
not there will be no change. An effort ha
been made 10 give the election districts re
peated separately. The footings of the dis
tricts as received in the Associated press OF
fee, are correct The only possibility {
error is in the returns having been incorrec
at first, namely, too favorable to Cleve
land.
Complete Associated Press returns by eleC
ton districts from Cattaraugus county hav
been repeated by telegraph and show tina. th
county clerk overstated Blaine's plurality b
452l and that the Associated Press returns
from that county and the footings thereC
were correct as first published. The discreI
ancy therefore does not disturb the figure
5 originally given.
The situation at 2 p. m. is that sever:
errors have been discovered which, except
to the one in Westchester county, yer
nearly balance. Indications are CROWN
f stronger that the vote will be nearer eve
than any estimates have yet conceded
Many counties are yet to be revised, hov
I ever, aud the work will be slow and tediou
