NEW YORK. SO.
THE
Another Day Of Waiting.

Fridaytwas full Of excitement throughout the
country, though at the close, the sentiment
prevailed that the settlement of the vote of New
York could not be expected until the canvass of
the precinct votes OF Tuesday by the county
officers.
New YORK, Special Telegram, Nov. =
The state returning board in this state is in
the hands of the Democrats and close ad-
herents of Gov. Cleveland It is composed
of Joseph B. Carr, Republican, secretary of
state; Fred c.. Chaplin, Democrat, comp
%troller; tElnathan Sweet, Democrat, state
engineer and surveyor; Dennis O'Brien.
Democrat, attorney general; md Robert
A Maxwell, Democrat, state treasurer.
II at any time one or more
of those fail to attend the meeting of the
bosrd, the vacancies are filed by calling In
the mayor and recorder of the city of Albany.
Both of these are Democrats. These facts
and d general misunderstanding US to the
duties of these officers nave been the
subject to-day Of many rumors as
to the fraudulent manipulation of the
returnA. The law governing the action Of
these officers is 30 strict and their duties are
SO clearly defined, that any manipulation of
the netorns is
ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.
On Tuesday the boards of supervisors
will meet IN the various counties and
canvass the returns. Their duties are purely
clerical. They simply adj up the local
returns Of towns election districts and wards,
certify to their accuracy, a~ndstransmit certi-
fed returns to the secretary Of state.

The Star says hundreds of kilograms have
been received from ell over the country in
curing the views Of Mr.. Kellyon the cleo
tion, and especially asking his opinion on
New York state. In response to these in
quiries, Ne Kelly sent the folloaTing state
ment:
The t1gurs chow a total vote for Cleveland and
Blaine Of 1.l04,Gf5, and a plurality for Cleve-
Of 1,150. The Albany. Evening Journal con-
soedes this. Iarn of the opinion that the coun-
ties, when canSassed by the boards OF super
wilson's Tuesday next. will SHOW an increase over
the.@ournal's figures. The rational Democratic
soElrlittee's flgures are 1900 for Cleveland. and
their statement is based on positive inlor1na-
ton. I have no doubt of Gov. Gleye-
lands election, although the people will
be kaot in suspense rnntil .he OIL
cias cauvass can assure them positively
of the Eoeult. The means taken to conceal the
facts hy.those having charge of the vote cast In
several election districts OF the State of New
York indicate that efforts have been made 80
DemocSatie national committee hass,revented Ii.
You can rely on these figures, ASH have the an
snrance that they are accurate. and that the
state canvass will find them correct, or nearly
SO, and II thece are Reductions the number will
not be s~ufteien5 to defeat C,eselandss election.
