Of Blaine's Claims of Plurality
i'm New York.
Thirty-Three of Sixty Counties
CanyaSSed.
A Gain of 60 to Cleveland and 6
to Blaine.
No Fatal Blunders or Frauds
Found.

The canvass m the state of New
York by the county canvassers was
begun on yesterday and completed in
33 of the 60 counties. The figures
varied from previously published
statements by showing a gain of 60
for Cleveland and for Blaine. In
many counties the returns had to be
sent back to the inspectors of cleo
ton for technical corrections or COM
pletion. In Kingston county the re-
publican counsel attempted to impeach
the validity of the vote on the ground
that one of the inspectors had not
qualified to act, but this technicality
was disregarded.
Thus far the republicans have made
no point against the legality of the
vote, or in any way shaken the dem
ocratic claim to plurality.
1t is expected that their sole hope Is
ia New York city, where they claim
to have discovered frauds. 1t will
take some days to determine the result
