CLOSE VOTES IN THE PAST.
Previous Instances Where the Vote of States
Were Given on Small Majorities.

Previous Instances Where the Vote of States
Were Given on Small Majorities.
From the Chicago btci-OccGn.
The Democrats are having a great jam
boree over New York, as though the fact
of "a close vote were an extraordinary
phenomenon, and meant all sorts Of riot
GUS and extreme consequences. Close
votes are nothing new in this country.
Mr.. Hendricks, who is one of the loudest
shouters in the present instance, knows
that well enough. Or if he does not, he
need go no further than to the guberna-
torial vote of Indiana in 1872 in order to
refresh his memory. He was elected
governor Of Indiana that year by plu-
rality OF only l, 14S votes, and yet the
capitol was not overturned nor did the
heavens fall.
AS early as 1924, in the contest be-
tween Adams and Jackson, there was a
difference of only 1C9 in Maryland $ vote
on these two candidates, in favor of
Adams; out it did not occur to Old Hick-
DRY to incite his minority to sack the
cities and tear up the soil of Maryland
Fou.' years later that state voted on the
same candidates, and although there
were nearly %, 900 additional votes divid-
ed between them, Adams still led by
1,1S1. In 1882, when Clay and Jackson
We're the rival candidates, Delaware gave
Clay but 1G6 more votes than jackson
got, and in Mary land there was an actual
difference of only four votes, Clay getting
10, 100 and jackson 10, 1856.
This is a healthful precedent for Mr..
Hendricks to look to. remembering that
his party prototype did not, therefore,
demand thesexecution of the Mary land
tribunal. The vote in New Jersey that
year stood: Clay %, sol Jackson -. $50,
tritling. yet all-important, difference of
AGA votes. In 1886, when Harrison and
Van Buren, were the petitioners of suf-
frage, there was difference in Connecti-
cut of only 76S votes. in Louisiana of 210,
in Mississippi of POI and in New Jersey
of J45.
In 1910, when Harrison ran against
Van Buren,, there was a difference in the
vote in Maine of only Al, in Michigan
of l, $50, in Pennsylvania of 1915 in a
total vote of 257, 091, and in Virginia OF
1892. Between Clay and Polk in 1914
there We're differences in Louisiana of 701
votes, in New Jersey S23, and in Tennes-
see, Polk s home Clay led him by Just
l13 votes. In 1913, between Tallo and

MIR. Blaine Would not Accept
the Presidency with a
Tainted Title.

Democratic cheek is something
phenomenal. A New York member of
this party, had the impudence to
write to Mr.. Blaine the other day, ex-
pressing the hope that he, Mr.. Blaine,
is making no attempt to influence the
count of votes in New York.
Mr.. Blaine replied by asking in what
possible manner he could influence it,
and then adds the following: 'In the
whole controversy | have had no de-
sire except for a fair count and an
honest declaration of the result. |
have seen no other request made by
the Republican National Committee
nor by any of its members They have
acted on their judgment at every step
and need no advice from me, | do not
wish any political supporters of mine in
New York to take the slightest advan-
tage of mere technical defects in any
returns where the honest intention Of
the voter is expressed. | would far
rather lose than gain by the exclusion
of returns on mere technical grounds.
The Presidency is not desirable if there
be the remotest faint on the title. A
promotion of that kind no more leads
to honor than the possession of forged
paper leads to wealth.

voices the sentiment Of the Republican
party when it says: "If Mr.. Cleye-

found to have 4 plurality of only one

known, will unquestionably bear out

acquiescence in Mr.. Cleveland's cleo
ten, if he shall be shown to have even

II is noticeable that every demon
s:ation of riotous nature that has &C
cured since the election has been the
work Of Democrats. In Baltimore,

story has been uniformly one Of Dem

\ balancing of the changes noted above
shows a net reduction of 295 in Cleve-
lands reported plurality. This apparent
loss, however, does not affect Cleveland's
plurality in the state-at-large. The 'press
returns sent out on election nights" as
they are styled above. gave Cleveland
plurality of AZ, 7e6 only. The figures
have since been corrected so as 70 show
a plurality of IS, 22G, or 440 more than
was reported in the first returns. Until,
therefore, the net loss of Cleveland in
New York city has passed the limit OF
440, it does not begin to affect his re
ported plurality of 1859 in the state-at-
large. There would seem, however, to
be an actual loss to Cleveland of $50
votes in the Second Assembly district, in
which there have been no changes re-
ported in the vote since election night.
