SETTLED,
[Continued From Fir«t Page.]
from Hon. Dun W. Manning, chairman of the
Mate democratic committee, that the state
had certainly gone democratic and , that
Cleveland's majority would be correctly re
ported, and maintained, the enthusiam knew
no bounds. The scenes in and around Till
CokSTiTOiiotr office and on the etreeta of At
lanta beggard description. The local repub
licans bad given up, the night before and bad
not recovered during the day.
Abont six o'clock the tono of the dispatch
es from New York began to change. Tho fig
ures from the late precincts showed unex
pected gains for Blaine. A bulletin an
nounced that an error made by a polling
clerk in Richmond county added over a hun
dred votes to their total. Several other
revisions of the vote were made by
the Associated Press until at about seven
o'clock it was announced tbeatwith 23 pre
cincts to hear from Blaine bad 432 plurality.
The interest at this point was simply pain
ful. Dispatches from leading newspapers,
from the headquarters of the state and nation
al committees, and our correspondents in
New York came in almost every minuto.
Tbey<ebowed that while the democrats were
surprised at the cutting down of their major
ity that they were determined to insist upon
a fair count and a fair canvass.
Pending the reception of the dispatches
the streets about Tnx Cokstitctio. office on
every side were absolutely packed with a
mass of human beings eager to get the least
scrap of news that could be obtained. Every
thing that was encouraging was received with
deafening cheers.
The impression seemed to be general that
the result of the election in New York
would be that the votes wonld go before the
canvaising board and be contested, and that
the result might not be obtained in several
weeks. This result was deplored on all sides
as a renewal of the suspense of 1876, and that
weuld be sure to work serious injury to the
business interests of the conn try,not to speak
of its political and social integrity.
At about nine o’clock advices were received
from the Times, Herald, the Sun, and the
World in New York. These stoutly claimed
tbat the state was democratic, and all private
advices concur in this opinion. As each dis
patch was posted tlieenthusiasmof the crowd
rose and at .eleven o'clock there was the
wildest excitement and it looked
as if the whole city was on the
streets. There were prolonged cheers at the
posting of the rumor that the Western Union
office bad been attacked, and as the Asso
ciated Press bulletins stubbornly adhering to
the Blaine plurality were received they were
. posted, and it soon became evident that it
was the Associated Press against the demo
cratic newspapers of New York.
By midnight the crowd slowly disappeared,
and at 1 o'clock beyond a hundred or 'to
people who sat aroun i on the counters and
'chairs in the various offices of Tuk Coxsvito-
tiok, everyting was deserted.
In Tns CossvivuTioa oflico the returns
showed at ono o'clock 208 plurality for Blaine,
and about half-past oife o'clock an orror was
acknowledged that reduced them by abort
800. In a few minutes another error
came, reducing the claim by
another 300. About two o'clock a correction
camo in from 'Westchester county reduciag
the former figures by 488, and then for tho
first liiuo since hall-past five in tho afternoon
Cleveland led his opponent and hod 117 votes
to his credit.
This announcement was recoived with pro
longed cheering by the faithful few who were
assisting the editors in their work by leaning
over their desks about fourteen dosp.

harplly this was avoided. Sergeant

Albany, N. Y„ November 6.—By official re

DETERMINED ON A FAIR COUNT.
Tbe business men ol a democratic meeting this
afternoon resolved to continue the 'organization
until the vote lo; president is honestly counted,
and appointed a committee to aid the democratic
national committee to secure an honest count.
The contemplated mass meeting to be held lu Wall
street to-morrow was postponed sine die. A mob
of several hundred, bearing Cleveland portrait*,
made an attempt to pnll down alllaino and Lo
gan banner at Broadway aud Maiden lane this
evening. The entire reserve foroo of the 26th
preciuct wm called ont to disperse them. No ma
terial damage was done.
THE EXCITEMENT IN NEW YORK.
The newspaper offices are still besieged with
gaping and shouting crowds, eager to devour every
bulletin as It appears, and wait for more satisfac
tion from the next. On Tuesday and Wednesday
evenings the large majorities that were promised
on both sides evoked boisterous rejoicing of
the misses, who were led to believe
tbrt the contest wm all on one side, but to-night
the returns hare been received from nearly every
election district in the state. The figures aro very
close, and the Mpect of the crowds ot spectators
that hang on the bulletins Is tbat of pent up in
tense excitement of tho people, watching
neck and neck tho race just In front of the
winning post The night was bitterly
cold, but the men who had shouted themselves
hoarse on one side and the other thought not of
the weather or of thetr own discomfort Tho feel
ing of easy victory on both sides has given place
to deeper anxiety. Complaints about tho dlla-
toriness of the official returns were mauy, and
popular discontent wm fed by placards suggestive
of attempts to cheat
Republican treachery and vengcanco" was a con
rplcuous line in one of the afternoon placards, and
other such announcements and accusations tend
ing to stir up popular fermout, were hung out for
tbe public gaze. At times it seemed m if tho ex
citement engendered on both sides by the delay,
surpenro. doubt, mistrust and desire would lead
to hostilities. Up to a pretty advanced hour lu
tho evening the Tribuno and Mall and Express
kept Inning bulletins promising a republican
majority In New York, and the Mall and
Ks press IfsuciI an edition at 10 o'clock
showing a republican majority of 372. After that
do more bulletius were exhibited on cither of tbeso
two buildings, nnd crowds of anxious republicans
weie icen ro longer. Tncrc wm a feverish iuraor
time that the democtatlc crowd, enraged at
wliat It was led to regard m manipulation of tho
returns, Intended to attack tho Tribune building,
but no at'oek wm made. Tbo Herald
and the World continued to show largo,
though considerably reduced majorities for Clove
land. Tbe Herald’s lato bulletin at too o’clock
stated that tbe returns from Albany up to tbat
hour showed 3,000 majority for Cleveland in tho
state, and tbo crowd, which filled tho streets In
front of the building, continued
cbecr that announcement again and
again, wbilo they waited for later
dispatches. Tho greatest gathering of spectators
;lste in the evening congregated In front of tho
Fun office, where tbo associated press dispatches
giving tho republican successes were attended
with tho Sun dispatches, which Inclined to give
the state to Clevolaml. At midnight crowds
still in front of tho newspaper offices, and
the excitement and cheering still continues,
finch a ferment of public feetlnj? was never before
known at au election in New York, which la duo
chiefly to the clorcnors of tho contest aud tho cou-
sequent doubt a* to tho result.
Official teturns from Queens county reduce tho
republican plurality of tho state to 371, with 12
districts to hear from.
Twelve uniformed policemen were on duty at
the Western Union building tt»U t evening. Cap-
talu Berghold saltf nobody ’had requested him to
send the men there; tbat he bad only taken the
U pas a precautionary measure. He expected to
withdraw them soon after midnight as there
scant d to be no use for their presence.
The scenes about the hotels and political head
quarters up town to-nfght wore exciting every
where. At the national democratic headquarters
policemen were to bo seen. At tho Fifth Avonuo
hotel, the Uofftnau bouse, tbo republican na
tional headquarters, tbe crowds surgod through
the corridors. Nothing wm to be heard on any
side but "Blaine" or "Cleveland." Betting con

A DEMONSTRATION IN INDIANA.
ThlshM been a day of unparalleled excitement,
surpassing even the experience following the eleo-
tlon of 1670. Before midday tbe streets were
crowded by enthusiastic republicans, who hvl
taken tbe town In the belief that Blaine and U in
bad been elected by the reports then furnisl J.
A different phase was put upon afiairs, and u.»m
tbe receipt of tbe report that tbo Now York Tri
bune bad conccd tbo stato to Cleveland,
which wm posted up on tbe bulletin boards, the
democrats appeared In great numbers. Their hats
were decorated with roosters and devices, and they
canted blooms. They paraded through the prin
cipal streets, raising a deafening din with fish
Jpiiis. They called on Hendricks, filling the
rpaclous yard aud tbe street in front of his resi
dence, and when he appeared the noise was simply
crrifle. Finally som< thing like order wm restored
Niid Mr. Hendricks said:
"Gentlemen—I am taken by zurprise by this
srge collection of my follow-citizens. I appre
ciate how well you have done, aud the hones, sen
timents which animate you. 1 have no satisfac
tory information, but I have no doubt
that the ticket which wm nominated
in Chicago on July 8 hoi been
elected. [Applause]. But this Is Is a matter of
»ucb grave Importance tbat I would like to know
very coaclusively before 1 make any remarks. This
Las been the most extraordinary contort I have

moit profound rentimeut of anxiety among the

tbat by evening wc shall hare full information,

During the afternoon a crowd, headed by
Hon. IV. E. Engihh, congre*zman from this dls
trlct, attempted to carry the black bsnner of the
autocrats Into the poatoffice building. They were
met In the lobby by a republican crowd, and a

"To quote my own saying on an Important occa
sicn fc ” added Mr. Blaine, "any party lu the United
•States can bear to bo defeated, but uo party will
bear to be defrauded."
Mr, Blaine freely expressed the Judgment that a
majority of the votes of New York had been cast
for the republican electoral ticket. He thought
the returns and a comparison with the former
votes clearly established this conclusion.

HR KELLY'S VIEWS.
Hundreds of telegrams baro been received from
all over tbe country, Inquiring the views of Mr.
Kelly 6n the eletftlon, and especially Mklng his
opinion on New York stato. In response to their
inquiries, Mr. kelly lMt evening sent the fol
lowing telegram:
Ibe figures show a total voto for Cleveland
and Blaine of 1,104.616 and a plurality for
Cleveland of 1,150, Tho Albany Evening Journal
conn-des this. I am of tho opinion that the
counties, when canvassed by tbe boirds of super*
visors on Tuesday next, will show sa increase
over the Journal’s figures. The natluusl dem
ocratic committee figures are 1,800 for Cleveland,
aud their statement Is based on positive Informa
tion. I have no doubt of Governor Cleve
land’s election, although tho people will
kept In snspeuso until an
official canvass can assure them positively of the
result. Tho means taken to conceal the facts by
those having charge of the vote cut in the sororal
election districts ol tbe state of New York, hull
raUs that efforts bars been raodo to tarn per with
the returns, but tbo vigilance of the national data
firstie committee has prevented it. You oan
rely on these figures, u I have
sriursure that they sre accurate and that the
Mate canvsis will show them to be correct or
nearly to, and If there are redaction*,* the num
ber will not be sufficient to prevoat Cleveland's
election. [Bigucd] John Kelly,

Bather startling development#. oc
curred In connection with tbo re
publican canvass to-night. It leaked
out that Steve Elkins intended to disqualify
Ulster, Sullivan and SL Lawrence countioa,on
the ground that the democratic vote wm fraud
ulent, aud thus throw out tho vote of the
whole stale. Elkin's adjutants to-night declare
openly that If necessary to decide tho flut
ter, they will take it'tothe highest courts.
There is evidently a long fight on the presi
dency in prospect.

The Tlm*s Figures,

Tii* Constitution ; There U no need of
df.ubt tbat Cleveland ha* carried this state.
His exact plurality, as estimated by cartful
inquiry and trustworthy report, is thirteen
hundred and sixty one. A gain of three
hundred for Cleveland was tbe result of an
examination for the Kings county returns
by tbe republican campaign committee aud
tbe United States supervisors. The repub
ileans claim that they have carried tbe state
is unsupported.
by any figures except the utterly worthies
and doctored reports of the Associated Prets
In which no one here baa any faith. The
figures of tbe Times have been obtained from
ibe county chairmen of both parties, and
have been repeatedly verified and corrected.
Every county has been beard from agtfh
today, and no further change* can be looked
for before the official caovare is made. It is
not believed tbat this canvass can change the
result. Tbe excitement and anxiety which
have prevailed here has subsided. Cleve

by politicians and officeholders dependent
upon republican success for continued cm
