Logan The republicans have carried every
northern state except New Jersey and Con-
necticut. Virginia seems also to have given a
majority for the republican cause and ticket
ana tnere is strong probability that West
virginia has also. The northern states alone,
however give to Blaine and Logan 225 electoral
votes and insure their election. In New York
attempts to tamper with returns have already

10, therefore, no ground for doubt that the
honest vote of the state has been given to the
repuphcan candidates. and though the defeat
ca candidate for the presidency is at the head
OF the election machinery in this state, the
democratic party which has VIGOROUSLY been
the party OF fraud in elections for years will
NOT be permitted to thwart the will Of the peo-
pie. Inc national republican committee calls
on tne chairman and individual members of all
county committees to take promptest and |
aost stringent means to protect the sanctity |
OF the ballot. The republican candidates have |
Deen honestly elected beyond question, and |
any attempt to cheat the people and to defeat |
