from all these counties saying that the
the figures already published in the SIM The
delay in making the footings in the counties
named Is caused by the failnres OF poll clerks to
make their reports In legal form. The accuracy
of the pluraiities is not questioned The
changes from the reported figures in the eight
counties that made returns to-day little more
than Offset the apparent gains for Cleveland
that were reported in forty-one counties on
Tuesday, and put his plurality back 10 200.
The variation from these figures, IL any Is
made: will be caused by changes in New York
and Kings.
The real fight is expected to be made in this
city. The total number OF votes which Mr..
George Bliss, as counsel for the Republicans,
expects to take exception to, in some form or

n In Mr. al flla NQr
Gus rumors got into circulation during the day
that gains were shown on one side or The
other. but they were found To be entirely
without foundation. The Canvassng Board in
New York City has heretofore proceeded nc
the rate OF four Assembly districts a day.
Should It continue at this rate it will require
four more working days TO complete the
canvass All the counties in the State have
been officially canvassed except six. These
six include New York and Kings Counties,
Monroe, in which Rochester is situated and
Erie, in which the city of Buffalo is located.
The Kings County canvass OF the electoral ticket
was completed at noon. The board resumed
their work this morning on the Twenty third
Ward, and in the canvass of the remaining
wards and country town, towns no no.; change
found. The total vote was: Cleveland,
69,274; Blaine, 63,512: Cleveland majority,
1872. All evidences of the unprecedented ex-
element, which prevailed at the various politi-
cal headquarters only a week ago. have disap.
peared. Nearly all the members of the Repub-
lcan National and state Committees have gone
are represented by only small number OF mem
bers."
A New York dispatch of Nov. IA says The
canvassiug OF the vote goes on in New York
without exciting much attention from the MEM
bers OF either of the National Committees In
fact, the work Is now nearly completed, and
the changes have been so slight on either side
that it is well nigh a foregone conclusion that
there will be no material change in the fig
pres already made known. The election laws in
New York have undergone a by no means I'M
important test within the PAST few days In
all the State neither party can point TO
single fraud on the fac of the returns.
All the counties in the State have sent in
their official reports excepting New York,
Erie aud Monroe. III there is no change in
the pluralities of these three counties from
what was reported by their County Clerks just
before the canvass OF their returns began, Cleve-
lands plur lily in the State will be 1928. The
fifty-seven counties which have reported show
gains for Cleveland of az losses for Cleveland of
49, gains for Blaine of H. and losses for Blaine OF
IA The canvass Of New York County for six
districts already reported IL as follows:
Clevelands gains, IL: Cleveland's los es, 100;
Blaine's gains, 10; Blaines losses, CT; net gain
for Blaine, I6G. This does not include the diff
ferences already noted in the incompleted can
vass Of the First and Seventh Assembly Dis
tricts, nor are the changes in New York County
included in the statement of the vote which
puts Cleveland's plurality at 1.26s.
