-StflN!tllS NIstEtIl~ pl New Ofk. MILO can
not afford to have their State reduced to
the 'ev'! of the lawleSSnesS prevailing in
South Carolina and Mississippi. A gentle
man asked Blaine If he felt much disap-
pointmrnt over the possible prospect of
losing the Presidency by such means Mr.
Blaine answered :" I do not feel so in any
personal sense, but profoundly so on ac-
count of the vast national interests depend
ing upon the result. ! feel great pride
that no imputation OF fraud has ever been
seriously uttered against members of the
Republican party in any State or district.
| do not believe the American people will
accept q fraudulent result. The Republ-
cans have carried the Northern States by
more than 100000 majority, and they do
not propose TO have the leading State taken
from them by fraud
At the National Capital.
WASHINGTON, November 7th.-The news
received here to-day from New York has
been of such Il character as to give the Re
publicans encouragement 10 hope that the
official count will give the State to Blaine
by good plurality. The excitement still
continues intense, and everybody awaits
with teveriSh anxiety the solution of the
important problem. The sta. early in the
day printed a special from New York. say
tAisit ll4C committee Iltttl leie-
graphcd Blaine that he was defeated. This
report, which remained mcontradicted for
several hours, he'd very depressing effect
on the Republicans, until later reports
were received showing that Blainc'S plural
ity was increasing rs later returns came in,
when confidence was again restored All
the prominent Republicans in the city are
of the belief that the official count will show
that Blaine has carried New York. They
will not admit that Blaine has been de
feated until the official figures show
that such is the case. The con-
fidence of their superi0rs has en-
couragcd the Department clerks. and
they are much more cheerful to-day than
at any time since the election. Many
Democrats think to-day that their celebra-
ton of ClevCland's election last night was
premature, and they are far more anxious
to-day than are fhe Republicans At both
Congressional COmmittee-rO0mS reports
have been received, showing that the next
House of Representatives will be Demo-
cratic by about forty majority The DEM
ocrats here who believe that Cleveland has
been elected are already discussing the
question of whether there will be a general
discharge of Republican employees in the
offices here. The general opinion seems to
be that Cleveland viii rigidly adhere to
civil service reform principles. Many are
found who say that if Cleveland is elected
there will be Il clean sweep of all the de
partments. This discussion is probably as
premature as was last nights celebration.
The Situation in Indiana.
INDIANAPOLIS, November 7th.-On the
basis of the latest official returns it
is reported that Indiana has given
a Democratic plurality of 5000,
and the Republican State Central Com
mittee comedies this much The Dem
ocratiC Committee claims 1900 majority
The Congressional delegation will stand
Republicans +, Democrats 10. The excite
ment over the result i'll Indiana ceased to-
day, and all centers now upon the news
from New York The bulletin boards
have been surrounded all day, and the Re
publicans were mostly inclined to give MP
the contest but many still put their faith
to success from an official count, ana
shouts for Blaine are almost as prominent
as those for Cleveland The ubilant Dem
ocrats have arranged for a jollification
meeting tomorrow night on which occa-
sion the speakers will be Messrs.
Hendricks, Mcdonald and Voorhees,.
Governor Hendricks has received many
congratulatory kilograms to-day, and has
been busily engaged in receiving and en-
tertaining callers, among whom were many
Republican personal friends. An Associa-
ted Press reporter found him this evening
in conversation with number Of poll
ticians Senator Voorhees, among them. He
was in apparently q happy frame of mind,
expressing himself as satisfied that the
Democratic candidates had been elected.
He had nothing, he said, to add to what
had already been expressed by him fo: the
=.
excitement Of the last three nights is begin
ming to tell on the people, and the crowd
on the street tonight is much smaller and
less dcmonstrative. No bulletins are dis
played anywhere, and affairs are beginning
to resume their normal condition.
Opinion of Ex-SpealSer f<eifer.
CHICAGO, November 7th.-Ex-Spealler
Keifer, referring to the New York .Stt3t $
statement that the contest over New York
would throw the election of President into
the House of Representatives, said to-day
that the vote of New York must be counted
one way or another. There was no precc-
dent for throwing it out. In 1876 tic
votes of Louisiana and Florida were
counted III, and whether New York Went
Democratic or Republican it could not be
thrown out Cleveland would have 1s3
and Blaine 1SZ electoral votes, and neither
having POI, the election would go to Con-
grcss In this event, Mr.. keifer said, To-
gan would be Nice-P President, as the Senate
elected that officer. The ex-Spcakcr had
no idea, however, that any such result
would come about. He had no hcsitancy
in saying that the vote of New York would
be counted one way or the other.
Election Returns to he Inspected.
New YORK, November 7th-The Su-
preme Court to-day granted an order re-
quiring the Chief OF the Bureau of Elec-
tions To show cause why he should not
permit the committee of lawyers appointed
at last nights meeting to inspect the cleo
ton returns. Later Mr.. o Drien let the
lawyers have access 10 the returns, and the
Court dismissed the order to SHOW cause.
1t is stated that the Grand Jury have
already found indictments for frauds at
the elections. Steps viii also be taken TO
punish inspectors dereiict i'll sending III
their returns.
