Rejected Votes.

As soon as the canvass of the returns is
completed. it is understood that the repub.
lican counsel propose to bring up the allega-
tions that some Butler votes were counted
tor Cleveland, aud that many Blaine votes
were improperly thrown out by the inspect
ors. As the counsel are reticent on these
points, it cannot be learned what the number
of such votes is, and on what evidence the
claims rest
The board of aldermen continued the work
today of canvassing, and completed the 9th
assembly district, the returns of which are
missing. 1t gives Blaine 4440 votes, Cleve-
land 5ll7. Butler 1872.
MALONE, Nov. Il.
Franklin county, by official count, gives
Cleveland 294s, Blaine 1858, st. John 20,
Butler 81.
Missing returns having been obtained, the
canvassed result in the 9th assembly district
showed Blaine's total vote to be 1852, Cleve-
lands, 4276.
NEW YORK, Nov. IA.
The Mail and Express says: The returns
as officially corrected today in the 9th
assembly district New York city, are an
increase for the republican candidate of l45
over the press returns, and an addition of
"a for his opponent, making Blaine's net gain
in the district II votes.
This makes total gain for Blaine of 42l
votes since the beginning of the canvass,
during which period nine assembly districts
out OF the "A have been disposed of 1t is
probable that the revision of returns will
deprive Blaine of one vote, leaving him net
gain of 20 votes. The canvassing of the
10th assembly district by Alderman North
wan has just begun. and is now quietly pro-
crossing.
HUDsoN Nov IA
The official canvass of the presidential vote
in Columbia county reveals that Holdune, an
elector on the democratic ticket. received
three votes less than his co-electors, and that
Hoysradt, republican elector, received three
votes more than the other electors on that
ticket.
NEW YORK, Nov. IA.
Two more counties in New York that had
previously not reported their official canvass,
have Just come in-Columbia and Franklin
but they do not materially change the result
Columbia is wholly unchanged. Franklin
increases her Blaine plurality from 1855 to
1890
Col. Bliss, who represents the republican
national committee, reports Blaine's gain to
be thus tar 492. and he expects to make
further inroads on the Cleveland plurality in
New York city.
II should be borne in mind that while the
canvass in the rural counties is likely 10 be
completed tonight, the canvass in this city
is much slower task, as the city and county
canvass goes along with the presidential. At
the present rate of canvassing New York
city, all next week will be occupied before
the result of the presidential election can be
officially known. If Col Bliss is correct in
his claim of the official vote, Clevelands
plurality in New York is being gradually
pulled down, All good citizens will recog-
nize the fairness of the republican position
that in so close result, it is well to wait for
the official vote before claiming the election
of either Cleveland or Blaine.
