Headquarters of theDemocratm State Committee, Hoffman House, New York, Nov. 9, 1884 We deem it our duty to announce to the people of the State that the Republican managers have, within the last forty -eight hoars, conceived a new scheme for throwing again in dispute the result of the election our State. For many dsys after election they, in entire bad faith, claimed for the Republican candidates several States which they knew they had not carried. In the same bad faith, when every source of information, including the Associated Press, had demonstrated that the vote of New York has been given to the Cleveand electors, they still claim the State. No fact of history is now tetter known than that the result of the election as ascertained, declared and verified by election officers of the public record throughout the Bute, give New York to the Cleveland electors by a decisive plurality.

These public certified returns have been sifted in the several counties by both parties with the most conscientious care during the last four days, until every doubt as to the result has been received. Knowing this fact, they now propose as a last desperate resort, to make the Board of County Canvassers throughout the State where controlled by them so many Returning Boards, after the pattern of those not long since held by them In the Southern 8 ates Wherever the boards fail the judicial orders are to be applied for, thus relyiDg upon the partisanship of the boards in the first place, and a judge of their own political faith in the second, they intend and expect to throw again into dispute the result of the election and involve it in interminable litigation. To this end printed papers have been sent by them to their agents and representatives in every county in- the State of New York, to be use! with the courts, whenever an occasion can be manufactured Of the entire reliability of our information, as to this scheme, there can be no question. We call upon theTepresentatives of the party in the various counties of this State tote alert and by every proper method to resist and defeat this last desperate device, and mindful of the grave consequences to the business interests of our State, which such a conspiracy neces sarily involves, we deem it our duty to assure our people who have rot generally acquiesced in the result, that they may confidentially rely that by no such scheme or device will the State be deprived of the result of its deliberate choice. It may disturb and protract the determination.

It will not change the result. (Signed) W.E. Smith, Chairman of the Executive Committee. LOOK ON THIS PICT URB. Foil Text of Chairman Joneii Addreas, New York, Nov.

8 The following address was issued by the Republican National Committee this evening: Republican National Headquarters New York, Nov. 8 The Republican National Committee are taking the most careful and thorough measures to ascertain, errors, if any have teen made, and frauds, if any have been committed, in the returns of the late election in New York If Mr. Cleveland shall be found to have a plurality of even one vote a prompt acquiescence will follow from the Republicans of the United States. If Mr. Blaine shall be found to have a plurality of one vote, prompt ae-quiesence will be expected from the D-mo mats of the United States.

The belief of this committee, found upon investigating, is, that Mr. Blaine has a plurality of several hundred votes, and if that be so, every honest man will demand that it be officially declared. Until the official declaration shall be made, we ask the Republic to unite with us in the honorable effort to secure a perfectly fair count. Purity in elections is the only safety for Republican institutions. (Signed) Jones, Chairman.

New York, Nov. 10 No change has been reported in the political situation, says the Advertiser, and none is expected until after the meeting of the Board of County Canvas sers to morrow. Even these meetings may not clear the political atmosphere; in which event the present state of doubt wiil continue until the State Board of Canvassers meet in Albany, on Wednesday of next week.

There have been some trifling changes in the footings of several county returns, but nothing materially to change the totals already given in these columns Mysterious allusions to fraud are also heard, but the Republican Committees now refuse to say anything definitely. The offi cers of thoee bodies promise to bring forward all their evidence to morrow, and intimate it may prove to be surprising to the public. In the meantime certain of the Democratic newspapers continue to publish inflammatory articles, for no other purpose, as it appears, than to unduly excite the people. These articles cannot hasten the official counting of thereto, nor modify it in any particular, but the writers appear to that frenzy is wholesome zeal, and that their party delights in such passionate demonstrations. Excitement, nevertheless, has sensibly diminished.

The sober, common sense of the people has asserted itself, and common sense persuades everybody that there can be no successful fraud, or even a probable attempt at it, for though the Republican managers may be earnestly desirous of success, they have not altogether lost their wits, and bemg a responsible state of mind, will bow to the peoples will, no matter what it may DO.

Hov. 8 Reader, are you not glad that election excitement is over No more torchlight parades for awhile, at least, and this will be tetter for public health. The election details in this city were, of course, on a grand scale.

New York contains 712 electoral districts, and it coats each party from $13,000 to $15 000 to get the tickets printed, and to meet this expense each candidate pays $3 for each district. The folding of the tickets ia done by the thousand, and the work is only entru- ted to careful persons, who are well paid. The number of folders employed by each of the great parties was dUO and then there are nearly 200 employed in bunching them The first election of a President cost nothing, but now it is a Job worth a million this is when you include loss of time. damage to health and doctors bills, in addition to the ordinary campaign expenses. POPULAR VOCALISTS.

Mapleson, in his new opera programme, announces Patti and Ricelli as well as Mile. Nevada. The latter receives $1,500 per night tor every performance, while Patti has double that money. Mapleson, no doubt, thinks this' is expensive patticake, but he cannot do without her. Patti is the best paid female performer that ever trod the stage, and Mapleson is obliged to pty her $30 000 before she makes her appearance.

She is one of that class that likes to have her pay in advance, and her position is such that she can command it. One of the recent incidents of the drama was Minnie Cummings action against hir modiste for illegal arrest. The jury gave he Ial amount claimed for damages ($25 -000), and this kicked the whole thing over. will not do to place damages too high The verdict was set aside, and Minnie can begin a new action or drop the case. The gaiety of the opera season is shadowed by the death of Brignoli, who held a high position as a tenor.

He has drawn a large salary not less than $4 000 per week, and ought to have accumulated property, but toe expenses of these artists are enormous, and they generally spend their money aa rapidly as they make it. Few have any idea of the laborious application required of an opera singer, or any other first-class vocalist. The training of the voice to a proper degree often requires years of arduous practice To return to Brignoli it may be added that his funeral will be honored by all the prominent Italians the city and will indeed be an occasion of universal mortuary interest. other stars 8rrive im Brignoli departs, and thus life and death keep up their activity. 18 exPected soon, and with Patti and Riston will form a rare trio of genius.

Me-Cuilough is a wonderful tragedian, and it is hardly probable that even Henry Irving himself could equal him in ViTn-inino 6 equal him in Yirginiua. BIG HOUSES AND SMALL FAMILIES. This seems to be the rule in Fifth avenue. Vanderbilt and wife occupy a two mil hon palace Mrs. R.

L. Stuart and Mrs. A. T. Stewart, also each have a palace.

Harriet Lenox, sister of James Lenox, never married but keeps house in the spscious dwelling which James erected forty years ago, and in which he passed his last days. Mrs Morgan is another instance. How hallow after all the grandeur for which ao struggle for a lifetime. William H. Vanderbilt is now the chief philanthropist of the Fifth avenue and the k0 k08 made of his money must af ford him deep and permanent satisfaction.

No other Fifth-avenue man except James Lenox has made such gifts to this city. How strange it seems to recall toe fact that in 1859 this princely benefactor was working a farm on Staten Bland, and had difficulty in borrowing $5 000 on mortgage for the purpose of educating ha children. His father then had but little confidence in his business abil tty but afterward gave him a berth in the railroad office and the result was a rapid de velopment of executive power. He still spends much of his tune in the railway office and really takes as deep an interest in its on erations as ever. CONCERNING FANCY STOCKS.

The term of fancy stock is applied such as pay no dividends and hence are avoided by those who buy for remunerative investment. They are therefore used by brokers and speculators as Wall street As soon as a stock pays regular dividends it ceases to be fancy and be comes regular. Should any remunerative stock cease to pay dividends it would once become fancy Mail was not a fancy stock un til its dividends were cut off. It had previ ously advanced from 100 to 800, but it fell from that figure to 15, but is now doing better. The Central Pacific wiU also become a fancy unless its dividends be resumed.

Erie has been for many years a leading fancy, but it now looks as though it might become regular. Denver and Rio Grande has been a favorite fancy for speculators, but it has gradually sunk to a low mark with but little promise of recovery From par it has dropped to nine and this is certainly an appalling decline for shareholders. As soon as any stock shows weakness, the bear operators pitch into it and generally succeed in making a football. Railway bonds share the same fate. West Shores are now among the fancies, and will remain in this condition until interest be paid or some measures taken to restore confidence.

Ohio Central first mortgages have also become fancies owing to the default in interest. These bonds at one time were par, but now are quoted at 55, and have been down to 40. liu to be hoped that both of the above mentioned roads will yet meet the success which they deserve. The Hudson River Railroad was for several years a fancy, and its ahares sold down to 33; but when Commodore Vanderbilt obtained its control it began to pay dividends and at once became a regular stock There are several roads in the present list of fancies which wifi no doubt in time become solid property Meanwhile the uncertainty of the market is such that none can safely speculate. Hence rt ader, if you buy do so with the determination to hold.

FIRE STOCKS. The insurance business is accompanied bv such heavy risks that no stocks of this character are admitted to the regular board. Hence they are generally sold at auction and are considered much the same as fancy stocks There is the difference, however that a fancy stock, generally speaking, is one that pays no dividend, whereas insurance stock is a fancy even if it does pay. There are stocks of this kind, such as the Bowery and the Equitable, which pay handsomely but they are, notwithstanding this, kept off the regular exchange list. There are men who deyote themselves exclusively to this kind of property and deal In fire stocks as a species of trade.

Some capitalists invest heavily in them, while others avoid them as they would the gaming table. I need not add any comment on the uncertainty of this property, and it is this feature which gives it a fascination in the eyes of some. At any rate men who get to dabbling in Insuranc stocks generally find it so exciting that thev keep at it until the last Holding these stocks is like the gardens on the side of a vol-oano You do not know the moment when bcaiity shall be changed into horror and there la a fascination in the very presence of ger. It is admitted to be a matter of good thing else 8 termed, more than any- Of the same nature with fancy stocks is the immense quantity of fraudulent merchandise which always finds purchasers in the miscellaneous crowds of a large city. I have seen varnish sent to auction, and purporting to be sold under sheriffs execution, which was simply made to stick some greenhorn with.

One of these greenhorns who made venture on a lot of this article was a re-spectabie dealer in paints, who was then obliged to pay for his experience The manufacture of paints, drugs and other articles merely to cheat is a regular feature in city trade and the never fatting cwd of dupes furnishes a supply of customers.

The Senatorial bees of Cassidy and Wallace have ceased their seductive songs. John Kelly ought to explain how that Tammany Coroner happened to pull through. The only men who havent cheered at some time during the past week, are those who voted for Butler and St. John.

Rioting has again begun among the striking miners in the Docking Valley and in their impoverished condition it Is not unlike, ly that their actions may become so lawless as to demand again the presence of the militia. No good can come from the riot, while much evil may, and in the end thejstrikers must pay their proportion of the consequently increased taxation. Two courts In England have recently decided that home lessons set by teachers cannot be enforced. The case was that of a teacher in a public school who had prescribed lessons to ba learned at home, and out of this arose a difficulty which led to a charge of aisault and battery against the teacher. Education obtained at the cost of pleasure is cheap; at the cost of very dear.

Growing children need more exercise than study. The teacher who ruins a pupils constitution by the enforcement of over-ap plication, is not only not a public benefactor but is also a public curse. It is rumored that Mr. Connolly proposes to contest Mr. Scrantons election on the ground that it was secured by the bribery and corruption of voters.

In order to expose the baseless character of this charge it is only necessary to cite the Congressional vote and to call attention to the sweepirg denial it offers in and of itself. There is scarcely a pre cinct In the district in which Mr. Connolly did not run behind his vote of 82 Luzerne In that year gave Connolly 1,906 over Scranton. This year that majority is reduced to a paltry plurality of 3 votes. In 1882 Scrantons majority in Lackawanna was 921, but in this election it rose to 1840.

We care nothing about Mr, Connollys ridiculous charges of corruption, so far as we are concerned. The vote of the entire district proves them false. But he insults his own constituents in every precinct of the two counties by his insinuation that they could thus be bought and sold. About the only sensible persons to be discovered just now are those who insist that tiey really dont know. The British Board of Trade has reported that this is the tenth year of depression, and the worst of all.

The statement not only shows a great decline in production along great lines, but a serious declension of the foreign trade as compared with the same time last year. The falling off is about twenty Bix per cent. Besides this, Germany is marketing Its iron and steel in the English markets at a cheaper rate than England can produce them. This Is due to the smaller wages paid in Germany, no doubt, but its effect upon labor in England is marked. An attempt to reduce wages in the mining districts there has caused an extensive strike, and the enforced idleness of many thousands who can barely live when they work.

wbi ov enui LtU UU. Until the official vote of New York has been announced and proven to be fraudulent or honest a grava responsibility will rest upon the shoulders of both national candidates. Every utterance from them if upon the all absorbing topic will more or less inflrme partisan feeling as it shall be more or lees partisan in tone. No one can tell to what result an unwise proclamation would lead. Let both candidates keep quiet, or if they must talk let them make only patriotic appeals.

The cause of each is in the hands of able men who are thoroughly determined that no wrong shall be done. There are too many men engaged in over-zjalous talking now. A fair count of the legitimately cast vote is all honest men desire and this can be secured without any speeches from either Blaine or Cleveland. Let both maintain a dignified silence. No one ever knew before the past few days, the importance of those simple words: I believe.

CANVASSING THE RETURNS. Yesterday the work of canvassing the New York vote was began by the regular offl cials throughout the various counties of the State, and the result will probably remain in doubt for several more days. Each party will be represented before each hoard by experienced and able counsel. We recall the charge made several years ago by foreign journals of character and re pute, that in this country political issues had many parties but the republic had none. The sober, eerious men of both parties can almost forgive that accusation in view of the presence before the election canvassers of partisan counsel.

Many times within the history of our people, the results of important elections have been for a time shrouded in doubt. But we do not recall that in any State counsel were ever before obliged to oversee the work of the sworn office ta of the law. The integrity and patriotism of those most interested, combined to make such a spectacle unnecessary. That those, in whesa hands rests the responsibility of deciding this great question, may to-day act with reason, dignity and in accordance with the requirements of the con stitutlon and the facts, will be the prayer of every honest American citizen. A thesis published in Chamber Journal on Prolonging Life is attracting much attention in the scientific world.

The various opinions bs to how to live and work, that our days may be lengthened, are both interesting and amusing. Discontent, depression, apprehension, anger, jealousy, suspicion and sorrow are set down as unfavorable to long life. If our readers can escape any or all Cl these they are assured of having a reas- WHO WILL BE IN AUGURATED. The condition of the vote in New York is such as will undoubtedly demand a careful revision of the returns and a strict inquiry into all alleged frauds and irregularities. With 6 contest so close that the plurality either way amounts to only a few hundred, neither party will be willing to abandon the fight without Buch a contest.

The Canvassing Board is Democratic, and it appears from the proclamation of Mr. Daniel Manning that he relies upon it to do such work as the Democrats charged against the Returning Board of Louisiana eight years ago. But there is an honest Secretary of State who must sign the certificates of the Eectors. The Republican party will be represented before the board or in the courts if necessary, by the best legal talent of the country. Attempted fraud can hardly escape exposure, and while it is barely possible that the defeated candidate may eventually receive the seat, the party which appropriates the fruits of such a victory will find Its triumph a millstone about its neck.

In the meantime there seems to be a disposition on the part of some of the New York Democrats to resort to lawless outbreaks as a manifestation of their zral. Mr. Jay Gould has been pursued by howling mobs threatening to take his life. If report is to be believed he has been compelled by threats of death to send a telegram to Cleveland congratulating him upon an election which was by no means certain at the time the dispatch was sent. The Tribune office has been threatened with de struction, and the office of the Western Union Telegraph Company actually attacked.

While the actual perpetrators of these outrages are, perhaps, hardly responsible for their crimes, there is another class of Democrats who must be held to a strict accountability. The tone of at least a portion of the Cleveland press has been inflammatory in a high degree. The real situation in New York for many hours was one of uncertainty with the chances apparently in favor of Democratic success. The public mind wrought up by the natural excitement of the occasion to a high tension, was attacked and harassed with malignant zeal by men of intelligence who should have foreseen the natural consequences of their acts. They told the public not only that Cleveland Had been elected beyond a possibility of doubt, but that attempts were being made by well known capitalists to cheat him out of his office, and to secure a false manipulation of the returns.

Of these charges there not a particle of evidence. Threats of revolution and violence were made in exactly the quarters where they were most likely to ripen into a destructive harvest. It is a pleasure to note that talk of the kind alluded to does not meet with the approval of thinking Democrats. The people understand too well what war means to bgin a revolution lightly The men who talk of rebellion and bloodshed, either have nothing to lose or are the last men who would expose themselves to danger. The strength and manhood of the country demand peace, and value it infinite ly above partisanship.

Riots will be put down with the approval of the great masses of both parties. Any attempt to inaugurate a defeated candidate by force will be disastrous to those who make the attempt, for the legally elected candidate will be the next President of the Republic by the approval of law abiding citizens of every political faith. There is cause for congratulation in this county over the result of the local elections at least. Ia addition to gaining the Congressional victory, electing a judge, and retaining the control in the Commissioners office, Messrs. Morris and Wardell have been triumphantly elected County Auditors.

It will be the duty of these officials with the minority member of the Board, to examine the reports of the other officials and to pass upon the correctness of the statements submitted. Both of those chosen on the Republican ticket are capable men and we may confidently look to them to keep a vigilant eye upon the accounts of county officers. Astronomical experts are anticipating an extraordinary meteoric display on the nights of the 11th, and 13. of On those days the earth will revolve through the meteor zone, and the skies will be filled with falling stars, as is annually the case about that time in the month of November. This year, however, there is expected to occur a display which has been paralleled but once within the experience of men now living, and that nearly a half century ago.

The reason for this ex ceptional exhibition of celestial pyrotechnics is attributed to the fact of the capture of a wandering comet by the planet Uranus, and the so called meteors are said to be the particles of cosmic dust which followed in the comets train. It is from the constellation Leo that the falling stars will seem to come, ami Wtttcners snouid direct their observations to that point in the heavens. How many will fall or where they will alight is not predicted, but it is possible that the Munchausen story of the immense areolite that fell in Texas and covered an acre of ground may be realized.

Cleveland, Nov. 7 Another riot is in progress in the Hocking Yalley. Murray City was attacked last night at 1 oclock by an armed force of men supposed to be strik e5? Tteatmck was made about one hour after the Pinkerton Guards went off duty, giving place to the new company of police! The firing was upon the town and company store from the hills on all sides.

The shots were promptly returned by the both sides. The strikers were led by some one who tnoroughly understood the nature of the ground and how to lead a body of men. His commands were given in a voice loud enough to be heard all over town. The guards was driven in from the hill above the hoppers, and had it not been for the prompt action of the Pinkerton men, who came out in time to reinforce the police, hoppers would undoubtedly have been burned. Explosives were thrown from the hills which burst in the town with a noise that earth.

The strikers stood the terrible fire poured into them by the guards, and returned It with a vigor that surprised every body. After about an hours fighting a 8IuJLd PiDkertons men, under Sergeant McKirdy, fUnked the attacking party and drove them off, The rocks and leaves in several places on the hills were found spat tered with blood showing that the strikers had not all escaped unhurt. The south side of the companys store bears the marks of over a hundred bullets. Several of the companys houses were riddled and the windows were broken out all over town. Six bullets passed through the house where, but a few minutes before, Karl Rasper, who was shot two weeks ago bv Deputy Lock, breathed his last.

A bullet passed through the window of the B. O. telegraph office Sheriff McCarty was on the ground at 7 oclock this morning All the telegraph lines between Columbus were cut. The Carbon Hill and Land Run railroad bridge were burned, which stops all the traffic over the Straitsville and Monday week branches. From present indications the National Guard of Onio will go down into the Hocking Valley again, as the striking miners are setting fire to railroad bridges and their property.

A BRAVE YOUNG WOMAR, How 8he Fonght a Cowardly Aaaallant on a Lonely Country Road Easton, Nov. 10. Miss Lizzie Lewers, a youDg lady of excellent character and one of the moBt attractive of her sex in Williams township, lives near the ore mines at Cedar-I vilie. about two miles from Easton. While driving her fathers cows through a lane half a mile from her home on Saturday afternoon last, she was followed and overtaken by James Butler, an ex street car conductor on the Easton and South Easton Railway who was out hunting for rabbits.

Butler threw his arms around her waist, and the girl at once screamed for help. He then placed one hand on her mouth and threw her on a pile of stones. Miss Lewera at once showed fight, and begun striking her assailant on the face with a switch and scratching his cheeks, drawing blood in several places Finding that the girl was determined to continue the battle, Butler placed his knee on her neck and his hand on her mouth to prevent her from screaming. The more he tried to weaken the girl the stronger she became, and fought him until he released his hold and fled. Miss Lewers then ran to the residence of George Walter, the nearest house, made known her troubles, and described her as sailant.

Mr. Walter leaped on his horse and started in pursuit of Butler. As he neared toe place where the assault was committed Mr. Walter saw Butler going through a field! Re wipped np his horse aud would have captured the young meal had the animal not fallen and almost killed it while attempting to scale a rail fence. This accident gave Butler time to widen the gap between him and his pursuer and to es-cape.

Yesterday friends of Miss Lewers came to Easton and employed Detective 8i mons to run the rascal down, but they were behind time. Butler, after making his es cpe, ran to his boarding house in South Eaa ton packed his clothing, and left for the West on a Lehigh Valley Train. Miss Lewers das several scratches on her Arms and a num-ber of bruises on her head and body, and is now confined to her room. THE NEW ALASKAN GOVERNMENT. Arrival or Governor Rlnkead-Affairsln the Ter-rltory.

Washington Nov. 7 Lieutenant Commander H. E. Nichols, in a dispatch to the Navy Department dated Sitka, September 15 says 8 Kinkead had arrived and assumed civil control of Alaska. No proclamation was issued.

Commander Nichols caused a salute of seventeen guns to be fired in honor of the new Governor, and wiihdrew all mili tary control heretofore exercised in his district by toe naval forces. An official visit toe comm nder says in a later dispatch, has been made by Governor Kinkead to Killisnoo Juneau, and Wrangel, the principal villages in the district. From Killisnoo a large amount of herring oil is sent to Portland and Ban Francisco. It is manufactured by the Nor hwest Trading Company, which employs about thirty men, as many Chinamen and a large number of Indians. Juneau is still the only important mining location in the district.

The placer mines seem to be pretty well exhausted, the principal attention being given to prospecting for quartz. Less than fifty miners are now working in the placers of the Basin. Wrangel has about lost toe importance it once had as the port of entry for British Columbia. Trading there is not extensive. The home for Indian girls under the Fresbyterian Board of Missions, was removed in September to Sitka, where a building is being constructed for occupancy.

There is Mother home for Indian boys and girls at Wrangel, which is urder the control of Mrs, Young, wife of the Rev. 8. Ball Young, a Fresbyterian missionary at that place. The winter had already set in and considerable snow had fallen, but no hard gales had yet baen experienced. FRANCE BACKS DOWN.

They take hold of such things with their eyes open and knowing Uie worthlessness of the article the hope to pais it unto some verdant speculator.

Ibis they may do to a partial degree, but they generally have enough left on their hands to spoil the profit. An experienced Wall street operator recently remarked to a friend that he had a safe full of worthless securities. Upon the any one wibea to purchase a good stock for investment, he will do well to avoid asking the opinion of any Wall-street financier, ind 11 he buys fancy stock, he should not be surprised if the latter should not prove ail that hffi fancy painted it.

The Government is anxious to keep the control of the lines in its own hands. THE HONG KONG RIOTS. FuH reports of the riots at Hong Kong which began on September 30 and lasted three days, show that they were less serious than at first reported.
