All OUer Reports are but the Wiggling of the Tail cf the ReonblicanSnake, WHOSE HEAD WAS SCOTCH ED ON TUESDAY t Grover Cleveland has most cer tainly been elected President of the United States. For a lew days there eras a doubt as to the result in tho State of New York, which doubt resulted from the continned claims of the Republi cans that the returns made to the Associated Press by unauthorized agents gave the Slate to Ulaine, when the returns made by sworn officials clearly gave Cleveland a majority. It was not to be won* tiered at that a party which bat been in power for a quarter of a a century, and which has used that power to enrich its leaders and friends, should grow-desperate at the thought of losing that power, and should resort to every device in their power to cast doubt upon the result, prolong the struggle and endeavor to re-enact the fraud of 1876. To this end they aro en deavoring to prevent the proper execution of the law regulating election returns by invoking the aid of the courts and securing legal delay. There may be a legal contest over the returns from some of the precincts; bat the officers of the State will canvass the returns,* announce the result and issue cer tificates of election to those legally elected, and the Supremo Court of the United States and tho High Joint Commission having decided that there ie no power to go behind the returns of the Stato, that will decide the matter. But we have no idea that the con test will be prolonged. It is sim ply an efloit on the part of the Re publicans to break the force of their fall. It is the wiggling of the tail of the slimy snuke of cor ruption, whose head was scorched last Tuesday, and should so be re garded. These reports having made our people uneasy, who feared tiiat they might be prematuro in firing their guns, the Rkcobdeb yesterday telegraphed to the Atlanta Consti tution for the latest news and if it would be safe to celebrate, to which inquiry the following reply was received: Atlanta, Nov. 8.—Cleveland is elected beyond all possible doubt. Yes, fire. Constitution. COLQUITT COUNTY. Moultbie, Ga., Nov. 6 Tbs election passed 08 quietly, the county casting a small vote, as lol- lows: Cleveland and Hendricks, 151; Blaine and Logan, 89; total number of vetes cast, 190. Turner, for congress, had little opposition, and was elected without any trou ble. As there is no daily paper taken here, we, of course, ctn get little definite information at to the result of the Presidential election, and we arc anxious to hear the newa.

A StertllUK Scheme af tha Kepublt. eiae Exposed. New Yobk, Nov. 8.—The city Is much calmer. There is no trouble to-night, no excitement. The Dem ocrats claim the Stale by 1,300 plurality. The recounting of the vote of this city has been complet ed up to the 18th district, and hears out the original count,Oswold Ottendorfer running behind on the electoral tioket. All tho leading Democrats aro absolutely confi dent that the final returns will show a plurality that cannot he washed out. MB. KILLY'S VIEWS. Hundreds of telegrams have been received from all over the country, inquiring tho views of Mr. Kelly on the election, and especi ally asking his opinion on New York State. In response to their inquiries, Mr. Kelly last evening sent the following telegram : The figures show a total vete for Cleveland and Blaine of 1,104,6)5, and a plurality for Cleveland of 1,150. The Albany Evening Jour nal concedes this. I am of the opinion that the counties, when canvassed by the boards of super visors on Tuesday next, will show an increaso over the Journal’s fig ures. The national democratic committee figures are 1,300 for Cleveland, and their statement is based on positive information. 1 have no doubt of Governor Cleve land’s election, although the peo ple will bo kept in suspense until an official canvass can assure him positively of the result. The means taken to conceal the facts by those having charge of the vote oast in the several election districts of the state of New York, indicate that efforts have been mado to tamper with the returns, but the vigilance of tbo national democratic com mittee has prevented it. You can rely on these figures, as I have aseuranco that they aro accurate and that the state canvass will show them to bo correct or nearly so, and it there are reductions, the number will not be sufficient to prevent Cleveland’s election. Editor New Yoiik Stab. The Times Figures. New Yobk, Nov. 8—There is no need of doubt that Cleveland has carried this state. His exact plur ality, as estimated by careful in quiry and trustworthy report, is thirteen hundred and sixty-one. A gain of tbreo hundred for Cleve land was the result of an examina tion of the Kings county returns by the Republican campaign com mittee and the United States super visors. The Republican claim that they have carried the state is unsup ported by any figures except the utterly worthless snd doctored re ports of the Associated Press in which no one here his any faith. The figures of the Times have been obtained from the county chairman of both parties, and have been re peatedly verified and corrected. Every county bus been heard from again to-day, and no further changes can he looked for before the official canvass is made. It is not believed that this canvass can change the result. The excitement and anxiety which have prevailed here has subsided. Cleveland's election is no longer disputed, ex cept by politicians and officehol ders dependent upon republican success for continued omployment. The New Yobk Times. A number of towns in the prov ince of Urugayans, in Brazil, have lately liberated alt their slaves, in commemoration of the surrender of the ruling Paraguayans to the gov ernment of Dorn Pedro. Ttiere has been a general interest in Ibis move ment throughout the province, and it is expected that the emancipation policy will be fully effected by Jan. 1. The condition attached to tbo liberation of most of the slaves will prevent them from abusing their newly acqtired freedom. They agree to a term of years usually not exotedlng 6 year*. The New York Press on the Sllnatloi. The Herald to day says that New York state is democratic; that the official returns show it that these returns and no others will be regarded by the stato board of canvassers, and that although there is a conspiracy to steal tho presi dency and the vice presidency again for candidates whom the peo ple have rejected, it cannot possi bly succeed. The Sun says: We infer from the returns that Cleveland has a plurality in this state of more than 1,000. The state of New York will lie carried by the man who has re ceived the most votes, and by no body else. There is no power that can wrest it from him, and it is an insult to the people of this county to intimate even the possibility that the crime committed against them eight years ago can be repea ted. Tho World says: “There need lie no doubt about the result of the Presidential eleotion. New York lias given Cleveland a plurality of not teas than 2,5(10. He has been fairly elected, and will be tne next president of tho United States.” It also ridioulcs the idea that and successful attempt can he made to steal New York’s vote, remarking that the only conceivable result of sending n false electoral return to Washington would be to thro# the election into the democratic house of representatives.” The Albany Morning Journal concedes the election of Cleveland. It says: “There seems to be no longer a doubt that Governor Cleveland lias been elected president. Every county has sent in its full vote, and n careful varlfication of the reports show that Governor Cleve land has a plurality of about 1,000 in the state. The vote will not vary 200 on either side of these Uguros. Now York gives Cleve land enough votes to eieot him. The Journal lias devoted all its energy towards securing another result, and it now reluctantly states that the election has been deoided differently from its doslres.” A Card from the Democratic Com. mlttce. New Yobk, Nor. 7.—The na tional democratic committee this morning issued the following ad dress: “New York, Nov. 7.—The Dem ocratic committee has taken very active measures to insuro fair and prompt returns In all delayed and doubtful districts. Counsels are employed to watch the official can vass, and arrangements are made to iiisure the transmission of cor- rcot news over the oountry. To meet the expenses of tbit action, which are .necessarily heavy, friends in various sections ara stalling subscriptions. Money will bo thanklully received by the national committee, and any aid of thiB nature to assist in enforc ing the popular will shonld, to be effective, be promptly rendered. Everyman who bets is certain in his own mind that ho will win. Otherwise few men would take the chances of exposing themselves to the rid cule that attaches to the payment of some wagers. Among those recorded by the New York Times is acitizen of the metropolis who, if he loses his bet, is bound to i rad the entile fourth page of the Tribune every ' day for six months, nnd to rend it in public. Another reckless better promises to wear tho “Plumed Knight” uni form continuously for thirty days •n the failure to elect bis candidate. A Telegram From Blaine. Augusta, Me.. November 7.— To Chairman Jonei, Republican National Committee: I am advised that there have been' frauds com mitted in Now York State. I be lieve that tbo honest vote of the State gives a Republican plurality, and f ask tho committee to see that we have a fair and honest count. [Signed] James G. Blaine. Some of the newspapers keep warning the people against the “folly of overwork.” This is all bosh. What is troubling the coun try now is the fact that the large majority of the people do scarcely any work at all. IlV'undorwork” the people need to be cautioned against. Mis. Julia Ward Howe wants American female sutbors to send their photographs as well as their books to the New Orleans Expo sition, and says in her Boston English that it will materially add to the “effectiveness" of the ex hibit.
