then go before the courts for adjucation and we
shall cheerfully abide by the result. The Dem
ocrats in New York and Brooklyn have been in
creasing the plurality for Cleveland step by step
since Tuesday night, so that now the vote is
fully 1000 higher, according to their fig
ures, than it was at tho close of
the polls. This is a matter that calls for an ex-
planation, and we have some facts in our pos
session which may throw light upon it, These
facss we mean to keep to ourselves until the
time comes to produce them before the proper
tribunal"
''Aside from the count is there anything else
on which Mr.. Blaine's friends base the charge of

I'VE hold that votes were counted for Cleye-
land which, under the law, should have been
thrown out and that ballots were thrown out

this State. Tho vote will not vary 200 on either
side of these figures. New York gives Cleveland
enough votes to elect him. The Journal has de-
voted all its energies toward securing another re-
suit, and it now reluctantly states that the cleo

recognition of the will of the majority
is essential to the maintenance and preservation

Il the Republican committees, State apdanonaI.
= etter.eaEf examination of the whole ground,
are satisfied that the State has gone for Blaine
and Logan They say that correct count will
show small Republican plurality. and that they
have taken steps to establish that fact Mr..
Blaines residence was crowded all day, many
prominent citizens from distant parts of the
State arriving The interest in the result in
New York is growing deeper every hour. This
afternoon Mr. Blaine talked freely about the
situation. He said to distinguished citizen of
Maine.
81 feel entirely confident that the honest vote
of New York, without change or manipulation
will show plurality for the Republican electors
of noT less than 1,5OO votes. 1 do not speak
idly, but from the most accurate data, carefully
furnished me from the most competent sources.
Mr.. Blaine added that The dispatch from Daniel
Manning, published yesterday, contained the
most arrogant and offensive threat to control
the election returns in the j. terest of the Demo
cratic ticket ever made in any Northern State,
and that it equaled the most bulldozng pro-
clamations ever issued in the South. He thought
its effect would be to arouse the law-abidng
citizens of New York, who cannot afford to
have their State reduced to the level of lawless-
ness prevailing in South Carolina and Mississippi.
The gentlemen asked Mr.. Blaine ifihe felt much
disappointment over the possible prospect of
losing the presidency by such means. Mr..
Blaine answered.
II do not feel so in any personal sense, but
profoundly so on account of the vast national in
terests depending on the result 1 feel great
pride that no imputation of fraud has ever been
seriously uttered against the members of the Re
publican party in any State or district. 1 do not
believe the American people will accept fraudu-
lent result. The Republicans have carried the
Northern States by more than 300, 900 majority,
and they do not propose to have the leading
State taken from them by fraud"

Gratis in various parts of the country
have telegraphed the. Democratic leaders
here to 'brace up and claim the State and count

York by the Democrats are inspired by such
bluster as TINS.
Not only are the Democrats quite sure to lose
New York, but it has been made very plain to-
day that they carried Connecticut by the
practice of fraud, and that they will
lose the electoral vote of the State if the
Republicans wish to contest the election.
Said Chairman Lynde Harrison, of Connecticut,
to-day: "The Connecticut law requires that all
ballots shall be printed on plain white paper,
with the names of the candidates and offices
written or printed on them Chief justice Parke
has ruled that all ballots which are so marked as
to be distinguishable when fled are illegal At

thin paper, and such heavy type was used, that
they could be identified when folded. This was
the object of the Democratic managers,
who were thus enabled to bulldoze the Irish
American workmen into voting that ticket In
the Fourth congressional district heavy black
border was put around the names, which suficed
to identify the ballots when poled. All of
these ballots had a title at the top which
alone, under the rulings of the court, would
invalidate them. The Democrats and ndepend-
ents thus violated the letter and the spirit of the
law. The Supreme Court of the United States
always rules that federals courts will construe a
local statute according to the Interpretation put
upon it by the highest court of the State adopt
ing the statute. Under this rule the ballots used
at the election of Nov. 4, last in Connecticut
would be thrown out"

tional committee, who is an able lawyer, is also |
