Tho Two COMMITTEES.

We present below the addresses
of the two national committees by
way of enabling conservative men
to Judge between the composition
of the leaders in the late election.
The one is almost command to
riot The other Is an invocation to
peace and good order. Consider
ing the excited state OF the pnbllc
mind, the wonder Is that MessIs.

more mischief in New York:

No. II WEST nth ST..
NEW YORK, Nov. Z, lSSl
10 the Peopic ofHc UAitcd Suites
There can no longer be any qucs
ton concerning the actual result
of the presidential election.
Grover Cleveland aud Thomas
a. Hendricks have eighteen more
electoral votes than are necessary
to elect them.
1t is not worth while for our adj
yersaries TO claim the electoral vote
OF Che state of New York.
1t is absolutely certain that the
returns Of the proper officers Of
election on the night Of the 4th Of
November showed decisive plu-
rality in the State for the electors
supporting Cleveland and Hen
bricks.
If any different or altered re-
Turns are now being prepared, or
arepromulgated, they are corrupt
ialsilications Of the record Of the
State OF New York, and the men
aiding or abetting the making Of
such returns are criminals.
1t is not expected that yOu will
tamcly submit to the Vaccinations
of such men.
Let them understand that you
will not.
Recognize at noon tomorrow
throughout the United States the
actual election Of Cleveland and
Hendricks by firing national sa-
lutes.
Meet tomorrow night through
out the country, and express your
opinions in Il manner that cannot
be misunderstood.
The men OF New York are re.
solved not to submit to the gross
outrage attempted to be perpetra-
ted upon their rights, and speak for
themselves.

TIONAL COMMITTEE. Nov. :, ST.
The Republican National Com
mittce are taking the most careful
and thorough measures to ascertain
errors, ifany have been made, and
frauds if any, have been committed
in the returns Of the late election

If Mr.. Cleveland shall be found
to have a plurality Of even one
vote, prompt acQuiescencc will fol-
low from the Republicans of the
United States. If Mr.. Blaine shall
De- found to have a plurality Of on
IL one vote, prompt acqulescencc
will b expected from the Demo
Gratis Of the United States.
The belief Of this Committee,
founded upon investigation, is that
Mr.. Blaine has u plurality OF sever
al hundrc votes, and that il that
be % every honest man will de-
maud That it he officially declara

Even Mr.. EVarts has failed TO

All sensational rumors as to the
