JOHN KILLS OPINION
The Star says hundreds of telegrams have
been received from all over tho country In
quiring the views Of Mr.. Kelly on tho elec-
ton, and especially asking his opinion ON
New York state. In response to these in
qutries, Mr.. Kelly sent tho following state
ment:
! The figures show total vote for Cleveland and
Blaine of l,lO4, 815. and plurality for Cleve-
| land of 1850. The Albany Evening Journal con-
codes this. I am Of the opinion that tho coun-
| ties, when canvassed by the boards Of super
visora Tnoadav novf will nhnvv iy1crAaaA 0VeP
| the Journals figures The national Democratic
commuters figures are 800 for Cleveland. and
their statement IL based on positive informa-
| ton. I have no doubt Of Gov. Cleve-
lands election. although the people viii
be kept in suspense until tho ON
| of the result The means taken to conceal tho
facts bv those having charge Of the vote cast In
! several election districts of the State Of New
York indicate that efforts have been made TO
tamper with the returns, but the vigilance Of the
Democratic national committee has prevented It.
/ You can rely on these figures, as have the As
surance that they are accurate, and that the
! state canvass will find them correct, OF nearly
80, and il there are reductions the number will
not be sufficient to defeat Cleveland's election

TIE ALBANY JOURNAL GIVES UP.
ALBANY, Nov: 1.-THE Evening Journal
comedies the election of Cleveland. 1t says:
There seems to be no longer doubt that Gov.
Cleveland has been elected. Every county has
sent in its full VOTE after careful verincatton,
| and the results assure Gov. Cleveland plurality
of about q Thousand in the state. The vote will
| not vary 200 on either sido OF these figures.
| New York gives Cleveland enough votes to elect
! to wards securing another result aud 1t now re-
lucantly states that the election has been dectd-
ed differently from its desire, because believes
that the prompt recognition Of the will Of the
majority is essential to the maintenance and
preservation of American institutions. SO long
as the people Of the United States have decided
| transfer administration
Democratic party, we are glad that the decision
has been made in favor of Democrat from New
York state.

Nov Z, 1894.-To the People Of the United
States: There can no longer be any question
concerning the actual result of the presidential
! election. Grover Cleveland and Thomas A.
Hendricks have majority Of eighteen in tho
electoral college, It is not worth while for our
adversaries to claim the electoral vote of tho
State of New York. 1t is absolutely certain that
the returns of the proper officers of election on
the night of the 4th of November showed q
decisive plurality in the state for the electors
If anv different or altered returns are
now being prepared or are promulgated, they
are corrupt falsifications of the records of the
State of New York. and the men aiding or abet-
ting the making Of such reports are criminals.
1t is not expected that You will tamely submit
to the Vaccinations of such men. Let them
understand that you will not Recognize At
noon tomorrow throughout the United States
the actual election of Cleveland and Hendricks
by firing national salutes Meet tomorrow night
throughout the country and express your oln-
ions i'll manner that cannot he misunderstood
The men of New York are resolved not to sub.
nit to the gross outrage attempted to be per.
pctrated upon their rights and will speak fol
themselves [Signed]
