New York, November THE Eyen-
ing World in an extra quotes Chairman
Brice OF the Democratic National Com
mittee, as having said eve concede
nothing, and from the latest returns l
think there is fair indication that
Cleveland has carried New York State"
Following this in the World extra is this:
This is what they say at National head
quarters, and it was given out as the
official utterance of the National Com
mittee to the crowd OF anxious visitors
who thronged their parlors this morning
in search of the latest news.
The statement is based upon
the fact that corrected returns
from the interior counties Of the State
show large cutting down OF the earlier
Harrison gains, and many Of the counties
whose plurality had already been given
purporting to be in full, are still found to
be incomplete and particularly is this
true, it is claimed, in Kings county.
where it is said there viii be fight be-
fore the count is completed.
When it was learned that Illinois and
Wisconsin might be close States, as well
as Indiana and Connecticut, kilograms
were sent 10 the Chairmen of the State
Committees in each State.
Mr.. De Forest was the only one at the
Democratic State Committee rooms. He
said: "We are not in as bad shape as
We were on the day after the election in
'S4. We will concede nothing. l have
wired to every county for revised re-
turns. Till receive them shall claim
the State. There are errors in the
Kings county returns, though how ex-
tensive l do not know. The count will
be looked after"
At the Republican headquarters
Colonel Quay said: Il can't say any
thing until it is all over. OF course
Harrison is elected and has undou btedly
carried New York State. am told that
an attempt has been made by the Demo-
Gratis in King county to steal the State,
but they cannot do it,"
In the same issue OF the World, which
contains the above, in double loaded
type, carried over from an earlier edition,
are these words: "Apropos Of Col.
Brice conceding nothing, there is little
reasonable doubt that Benjamin Harrison
will be the next President of the United
States"
In the same edition Of the World are
these editorial expressions: We do not
give up just yet. Cleveland has in all
probability lost the State OF New York,
but there is cheerful prospect that he
may have a majority OF the electoral
votes. The Republicans claim every
Ia
lively insure the States OF Indiana, New
Jersey and Connecticut for the Demo
Gratis. This gives the Democrats l83 out
of the necessary pol votes, with Califor-
mia 8, Nevada 3, and Illinois %, as
doubtful. Illinois is almost certain to
increase the Democratic vote. and the
National Committee does not give j. up
for Cleveland.
NOT YET SETTLED.
The EUening Neps, Democratic, in a
late extra heads up it's election matter
thus: "Not yet settled; Cleveland de.
pending on Illinois and California; New
York probably Republican Connecticut
and Indiana both Democratic" The
matter thus headed up is as follows:
"The result of the election for President
is still in doubt. The Democrats claim
Illinois, California and Nevada, which
would elect Cleveland without New York,
as the Democrats have undou btedlv
carried New Jersey, Connecticut and In
diana. 1t looks as if New York has been
carried by the Republicans, as the re-
turns from the Republican counties con-
tinue to pour in and show gains. The
latest returns show Harrison's plurality
to be about 5000, but many of the coun.
ties are estimated. Captain McClel |
Ian, Secretary of the Executive Cam
paign Committee, has telegraphed |
to the State Committees OF ILL |
nois and Wisconsin for the latest |
returns. Both States are still in doubt. |
The National Democratic Committee |
does not concede New York to the Re.
publicans. No returns have been re-
,elved to show anything more than that
The State is close. Connecticut and Indi.
ana have been won. California is very
favorable to the Democrats, and in ILL |
1ois there is firm claim for the Demo
,ratic Presidential as we'll as the Guber-
latorial ticket.
