Corrected returns from New York State make
only trifling changes in the vote for President
and Governor. An error In the figures In Al
bany county's vote Yesterday made Cleveland's
plurality there 2.4G7. The corrected figures
make It l.G74. This is nearly offset by slight
reductions in Harrisons vote In eleven coun-
ties. Harrison's plurality in the State will
nsnd therefore. mt about $4,000.
Gov. Hill's vote remains substantially un-
changed from Yesterdays figures. His plurali-
II will not vary much either way from 10000.
The complete returns from the rural counties
IN the State show that Cleveland and Hill run
nearly even. both apparently getting the full
party vote. Miller ran behind Harrison every

WHEELING, Nov. 8.-Despatches just re-
ceived tonight from the capital Of the State
announce that Democratic State Treasurer
Thompson comedies West Virginia to the Re-

State by a much larger majority. They also
claim to have at least three, and probably a
solid delegation Of four Congressman and a

ALBANY. Nov S.-The rumor is gaining
strength throughout the State that the greatly
decreased Prohibition vote this fall is owing to
the crooked work of Republican leaders. Men,
bers of the former party hereabouts are firm
in this belief. Mr.. Fred +. Wheeler. Chairman
of the Albany County Prohibition Committee
said to-day that adviccs received from private
detectives employed to investigate the charges
strengthened this belief: but he was not pre-
pared to say whether they would be able to
prove the charges. The Prohibition vote in
1886 was 10000: in 1897, Al 500 and this year
only about 1900. The 10 per cent. gain of tho
previous year is not apparent this fall which

CINCINNATI, Nov. S.-A story is in crcua-

are thrown out his majority in the district will
be overcome. The Kentucky law, it is said,
requires that the ballot shall be on plain white
paper, with no DISTINGUISHING features, but the
