Up to the morning of the 18th returns re-
ceived indicated that New York had gone
for Cleveland and Hendricks. The Repub-
fican managers, however, still claimed to
have carried the State. The majority

the revised count will be necessary to def
nitely determine which side has really won
the battle. If it proves that Cleveland has
been successful in New York he will have
219 electoral votes. The excitement at
no Of dola 1.n.
turns in the principal cities during the day
and evening of the 9th was of the most in
tense description, and only wise precau-
tionary measures Of the police in some in
stances prevented serious collisions. Both
parties were crying fraud, and the express
sion was freely made from Democratic
sources that no REPETITION of '76 would be
tolerated

UP to the morning Of the sth the politi-
cal situation was still mixed. The cleo |
ton of Cleveland and Hendricks was still |
confidently announced by the Democrats
on the basis of their returns showing that
he had carried the State of New York,
thus giving him 219 electoral votes. On
the other hand the Republican managers
continued to claim the State by a small
plurality. The settlement of the mooted
question will undoubtedly have to depend
upon the official count. Meanwhile the
Democrats are celebrating thevictory they
claim all over the country, and the Ma
tional Democratic Committee have issued
a manifesto calling upon their partisans to
see that they are not robbed of it's fruits
by repetition of '76. Partisan feeling
was at high pitch in all the principal
cities, and only the most conservative ac-
tion of the cooler heads in both parties has
