"When the National Democratic Committee
claimed the State OF New York on Tuesday
evening by 10000 TO 1900 majority the figures
OF the returns then received fully justified the
estimate The reports from New York ~ and
from large communities in the inter or OF the
State showed gains, and the first reports from
Brooklyn were 10 the effect that the majority
there was 1900. The telegf aph wires we're
very crowded, and the transmission Of the
committees bulletins 20 the West was con-
siderably delayed There IS evidently mis-
Apprehension in some pa-ts OF the West as 10
the time VII ca the dispatch was sent"
The particular dispatch referred TO was one
received in the West from the Democratic Com
mittee claiming New York by 100 10 1900

Il WAS not intended TO deceive any one, and
that q the hour Il was written the bullet rs Of
some New YORK papers were giving the state
10 Cleveland BY $50 plurality.
