Clarkson, the Iowa member. left for home
Friday evening. Treasurer Weeks has gone
back to Pittsburg and Chairman Jones will
leave for the same city next Wednesday
night, as soon as the official voteis declared
from Albany. Mr.. Jones said tonight:
II don't believe there Is much to add to what
you have already heard from me. If we had been
able to have gone back to the actual frauds per-
petrated at the polls, believe we would have
carried this state by a handsome plurality"
When did you discover that this could not be
done?-
only on Monday last, after oar last address
had been issued There has been good deal
said about that address, but every thing was said
and done in the best of faith on the representa-
tione Of reputable men from all parts Of the
state. As soon as we found that the actual
ballots in the e.ate had been by
law destroyed and nothing remained
but the returns Of the election officers, we were
convinced that nothing but the most fragrant
frauds would induce the canvassers to go be-
hind the returns. This did not transpire, and
the result you know" t
When did you first begin to doubt the sue
cess of Blaine's election?"

1t is all over. We only await the action of the
