E'ERA(. SITUATION. Don't Worry. Special to the SentineL New Yoek, Nov. 10. Do not worry about New York. It is all right The enemy can not steal it Explanation of a Mach Talked of Frand. Kmsros. N. Y.. Nov. 10. In regard to fraud in the Fifth Ward no contest will be made to-morrow by the Republican?. The Freeman, the leading Republican paper, says: "The vote in the Fifth Ward having been represented throughout Che State as fraudulent, it is only fair to both parties that the whole truth concerning It should at once be made known, The full electoral ballotbox was found to contain nineteen more ballots than cast according to the poll list, and that the excess of votes was drawn out by men blindfolded, in accordance with the laws of the State. If fraud was Intended the parties failed. The Republicans have no reason to find fault with the result of the vote, as it gave Cleveland only 260 majority, which is the ordinary Tote. The roll was carefully watched on election day, and the result as declared by the inspectors apparently gives each party what it is fairly entitled to." Attorney General O'Brien on the Vote of New York. Watertown, N. Y., Nov. 10. Attorney General O'Brien, one of the State Canvassing Board, in a speech to the Democrats here, said: "I have no fears that the wishes or judgment of the people, expressed at the ballot-box, will be falsified or defeated. No party er set of men can steal the vote of the Empire State. The laws of the State In retard to the election and counting of votes are too perfect to admit fraud, even it it were possible. The votes given by the people in this State no doubt will be bonertly counted, and will be truthfully declared." A CONSPIRACY To be Formulated by ltlalne to Make Him President. I Chicago Daily News SpeciaL Washington, D. C, Nov. 9 It is claimed here to-night that the electoral vote of New York would have been given to Mr. Cleveland on the econd day following the election had not Mr. Blaine objected and urged that nothing be conceded so long as there was a possibility of winning the fiht by fair means or foul. A member of the National Committee is authority for this statement. According to this gentleman Mr. Elkins telegraphed Blaine over the private wire direct to Augusta last Wednesday that Cleveland bad carried the State. Blaine then inquired about Indiana. Klkina replied that the latest advices indicated a big Democratic plurality. "Can yon save anything in the Sauth?" was the next anxious query. "We are still claiming Virginia." an-, awered the wily Eikins, "but there's nothing in it We hare nothing to hope for in the South." This was evidently more than Blaine could stand, for the answer came dashing back: that "You gentlemen have made a pretty mess of this whole business and lost me the Presidency." Then followed a few minutes' pause, after which Mr. Blaine continued: 'Claim everything until a new plan of action can be formulated." This telegram is now in the hands of a gentleman in this city. He is said to have in his possession half a dozen othes equally compromising. FEARS OF KIOTOC3 TIME. Precautions Taken to Ouartl Against Tumult A Democratic Warning. Chicago Daily News Special. New Yobk, Nov. 9. There is a deep-seated feelIns of alarm among the business men and police officials of New York over the existing bad feeling caused by the Republican National Committee and the Tribune persisting In tne claim of Blaine's election ia ttia State. The newspaper have been asked to keep the matter quiet and have agreed to do so, and police and militia circles are usin? every endeavor to calm the public mind by ridiculing all thoughts of coming trouble. Tne fact remains that the armories in this city and Bjooklya were placed nnder guard la t night and the greatest vigilance is maintained despite the laughing remark of the oflicera that "The boys are drilling, that's all." II tne official canvassing board Counts out Cleveland on Tuesday next there can be bo doubt of what will follow in this city, if in soother place. The lawless element is ripe for riot and loot after a week of intense excitement, and it needs but a leader to incite the thousands of unemployed worklngmen in this city to desperate deeis. A private meeting of leadinz Wall street men will be hel l at an unnamed place tomorrow at 4 o'clock, and the situation will be carefully considered. A gentleman closely connected with Jav Gould's Western Union interests aald to the lily News correspondent tonight: "We understand the strained condition of affairs, and consider it serious. Mr. Gould is fully aware of the state of dulie feeling. aDd is prepared to take care of himself and famuy." The speaker is a Re pubiican, and believes Cleveland carried the Stale. An influential and well known Democrat, when aaked what he thought of the situation, amid, tni afternoon: -Jf the othcial canvassers display any taint of scting franduleatly, this country is ia rrester danger thn it waa the Usy Fort feninter wan fired on." An effort will be made to-moirow mornin to muzzle the incendiary afternoon papers of both political complexions, bat especially the Tel--rom and the News, and also to stop all further pontine of bulletins. A special from Boston says that Blaine couH not be found In August to-dar, but tht he w.n seen at Fall River to-night, en ronte for New or. It is aald hev-ill hold a conference ia this city tomorrow wit i his managers, and determine then whether or not the contest will be carried beyond the decision of the State Canvassers. A Monster Democratic Celebration. A lb a sr. N. Y.. Nov. 10. The Damocraey of Al-Jba-y held a monster celebration to night Thon-

Rands of strangers were in town. The city was illuminated and tbe houses decorated. Governor Cleveland witnessed the parade from the window of the Executive chamber ia the Capitol, bat did not review It The number of visitors at the Executive Chamber was very large. Many congratulatory tctegrama were received.

Illinois Legislature a Tie. Chicago. Nov. 10. A recent estimate as to the complexion of the Illinois State Legislature is that it will be a tie on joint ballot, the Senate having a majority of one Republican, an 1 the I loose a majority of one Democrat. Contests are likely to ensue in three districts whicti may reverse this condition of atiairs. The sitnatio is made more interesting from the fact that a successor to General Logan is to be selected. Flints of '; Kedivlvus. Nrw York, Nov. 10. A Washington special says there is no inclination among Republican leaders to submit to the result of the election. A repetition of the n eues of '76 is contemplated, witn many of the same persons as chief actors. The wires are loaded with dispatches summoning the bolder leaders to the assistance Of the National Committee. Am on a thewe are several members of the noted Wormly Conference of l7tf In managing Democratic circles there are Intimations of forthcoming disclosures of the part plaved by some of Mr. Blaine's present active workers in the seating of Mr. Fares in 1876. A great air of mystery is thrown over the matter by thofe who have referred to it, and this is increased by the declaration that it had nothing to do with what took place in Louisiana, Florida and So nth Carolina or at the Wormly Conference here, bot that it I relates to transactions in Washington, no hint of which has ever been made puolic. It is said to involve most oi those men in New York and the West who are now declaring, In the face of the oflicial returns of that Ute, that Blaine has carried New York. Their purpose is now known to be to attempt to throw such doubt over the New York result as to give ground for controverting it, first in that State and afterward in Congress. The belief is that in Congress they hope to succeed by plans similar to those quietly employed by the same men in 187G. Grtml 1'roceitlon In Honor of Cleveland and Hendricks. Baltimore, Nov. 10. A grand street parade in celebration of the triumph of honest government in the election of Cleveland and Hendricks, as was announced, took place this afternoon. The procession consisted of twenty-four divisions, each with a chief marshal and aids and bands ot music, representing the various exchanges, commercial and mercantile, trades and ialUStlitt WJHtQltl: sional callings, and all the Democratic political Clubs in the city. The first division was composed of the leading grain and commission merchants of the eity. All trades, dry goods, hardware, boots and shoes, bankers and brokers and others were represented by solid and well-known men. General John Gill, a member of the Corn aad Flour Exchange, was chief marshal. The Evening News estimates the number in the procession at 20,000. The btreets were thronged with people. Giving It Up. BCiTai.o, Nov. 10. The Evening News says that many Blaine backers in this city have been paying bets on the Presidential result since the Associated Press and other authorities conceded Cleveland's plurality in tnis State. The Republicans here as a body have given up the fight and taken do n their banners, leveling their wigwams. They deprecate the measures being adopted by party leaders to change the result. Frank Hurd Will Contest. Toi epo. ., Nov. 10. Frank ünrd said yesterday that he has decided to contest the election of Hornels. lie claims that he has already discovered errors sufficient to reduce Koxneis' majority from C29 to 9 outside of Lucas County. He says there is one error of 9J in Erie Countv, and that be knows of one rf M in Lucas County. He says he now feels satisfied that he was legally elected. The Vote of Tennessee. NA.nvn.LE, Tenn., Nov. 10. The Secretary of State has received oihclal returns from thirty counties in Tennessee. The last estimates from official and unoflici&l returns show Bates' majnritv for Governor from 8.CCO to J2.O0U. The Cleveland vote will exceed this by a few thousand. tTIIK ASIATIC SCOCRGK. A Sensation Created in Paris by the Authorities Acknowledging the Existence There of Cholera It Conld Not lim Longer Kep'. Secret. London, Nov. 9. The acknowledged existence of Cholera in Paris by the municipal authorities has caused an enormous sensation. The prevalence of the disease la a sporadic form has been known to the health o:licia!s of the city for weeks, but they deluded themselves with the hope that theplasue would disappear on the approach of cold weather The extraordinary iacrea.se of tne plasue iu the ixwt few dys, however, has been so great that no further deception was possible snd the facts w ere at last relactantly stated. Medical experts assert that they do not fear an epidemic during the winter months, but they now believe that the disease has been planted so deeply that it will live until spring, when it will probably break out in its worst form. Since the official announcement &f the existence of cholera in Paris there has been a marked iepreMon in business of ail kind. Tne pass, user traffic between London snd Pari", which is usually at its height at this reason of the jear, has been reduced one-half. Fully two-thiMs of the proprietors ot the large hotels complain that their guests are lea vlug them so rapidly that they will shortly be without customers, and the wires are busy witu telegrams canceling engagements for apartments w hich had been secured weeks in advance. The Hotel Bristol, ia the Place Vendome. one of the most select in the city, and where a room can seldom be obtained without previom notice, is almost deserted, and the proprietors state that this Is a fair sample of the effect of the outbreak of the scourge on like eMaalishment throughout the capital. A general gloom seem to have settled over the usually careless and gay habitues of the boulevards, and condemnations of the inefficiency of the (Jovernmeut are heard on all sides. A full realization of what a fearful epidemic next summer means seems to have taken possession of the popular mind, and a state of depression exists wLich can only be compared to that of the dark days of the commune. Disastrous Itoiler Explosien. Nrw Orleans, Nov. 7. The boiler explosion at Mead's sugar house was more terrible than at first renorted. The killed are E. Eden, engineer: W. Booker, John Jones, Henry Nash, Josepti Richards, Paul Richards, James Reese, William Wilson, Henry Marce,in. colored. The last two are boys, aged twelve and thirteen. The wounded are August Rant., Oscar Kaut., K. Rautz. John Kricke, dangerously scalded I John De Land, John McGuiie, slightly. The boiler was bought secondhand twenty years ago. It had no water at the time, snd cold water being let in it exploded, flying through the loot ot the sugar house a distance of 250 yards into the canal. Tb?enzineer was thrown '00 yards, landing on a wood-pile ten feet high. He was the only one killed instantly, lhe others lived several hours. Mrs. Lyman's Case. Montkeal. Nov. 6. Mrs. Lyman has made another pathetic appeal by letter to her benefactor. Mr. Ferry, to get her ont of the horrors of her situation in heme con tined with the most refractory lunatics in Longen Pointe Asylum. She declares she is starving, as she can not eat the food supplied her. It is now two mouths since hercase was brought into court, and yet nothing h.s beeu done for her. R. D. McGibbon, who pleaded the unfortunate woman's case, has been otlicially notified tnat the Government will not pay Uie expenses of the medical expe rts, S:;oo, whom Jnd-e Jette nominated to sit In judgmeut with Dr. Vallee on Mrs. Lyman's sanity.

Sullivan, of Boston, and John M. Laflln, of New York, had their much-talked-of bout nnder the Siarouis of Queensbury rnles at Malison

Square Garden last night. Laiin was knocked out of time in the second round. It wis a dismal affair throughout. A Helena, Ark., special says: "A. Yv Acree acting telegraph operator and agent at liarmlcy, has committed suicide." The rumor that General Sheridan had been ordeicd to New York for duty is emphatically denied by the Secretary of War. The foreman of a Milwaukee fire truck slipped from the truck while a run was being made loa tire yesterday, and was instantly killed. 'Squire Thomss, colored, convicted of burglary at Charlotte, N. C, ana sentenced to be hanged on r1day next, has been reprieved to February 27, l&iT. Mayor Smith, of Philadelphia, has sent letters to the newspapers requesting ttiem not to poet news bulletins calculated to excite the public or give rise to disorder. The St. George's Society of Toronto has appointed a committee to consider the best means of preventing tne immigration of undesirable accessions to the population.

THE PHOTOGRAPHER'S WOES. Some of His Customers Who Are Hard to Please. Kansas City Star. "You must meet some queer people in your business," said an Evening Star man to a Main street photographer, as that longsnfTering individual was preparing to level his warlike looking instrument at a trembling subject, "tiaeer people?" replied the reproducer of human mugs, "I wish I could place it so mildly. If there is any place in this world that the fool element is bound to crop out in human nature, it is in a photograph gallery. No one sees the sublimely ridiculous in life as the photographer sees it every day. Now, look at that poor simpleton sitting there trying to look pretty." The subject alluded to belonged to the species of girl who always looked her best with a calico apron on and a dish-rag in her hand: in other words, she was a typical biddy. Her anything but pretty face was crowned by a hat that would have made a milliner groan. It was loaded down with beads, ribbons and feathers of brilliant and diversified colors. Her dress was of red and L?X air was banged to the end of her no3e. The girl hi A sickly smirk on her rough' looking face, and was turning her eves toward the ceiling with a gHshing look that was supposed to give fcsr the air of an actress. You would be astonished," tön tinued the photographer after be had disposed of the tragic looking biddr, "to see how many absolutely ugly looking people come to have their pictures taken, and to find as I do that none of them appreciate the foct that they are not beauties. I am certain that all people think they are much better looking than they really are; but the exaggeration with some is greater than with others. All are invariably astonished when they see themselves as others see them, and to find-out how they have been deceived as to their own looks. This causes us photographers a great deal of trouble. No matter now perfect and true to life the likeness may be the moment it is handed to the object for the first inspection it is sure not to come up to his expectations, and th result is he finds fault and demands another trial. We always cheerfully Bit people time after time, although we know the first likeness was as near perfect as human art could make it. It would never do to insist that the picture was true to life, for such a claim would wound the vanity of our customers. The result is we are compelled to make flattering likenesses to bring the pictures up to what the conceit of the original has made him believe he really is. No matter how revolting this practice may be to me as an artist, I must either resort to it or lose my customers, for they will go where they can get the most flattering pictures." "Who are the most difficult to please, the men or the women?" "The women always. A man may be shocked to see that he is not as handsome as his flattering looking-glass bad depicted him, but he almost always has sense enough to accept the discovery philosophically and not insist on having the artist do for nim what nature has neglected to do. Bat the ladies, how indignant they look when a good likeness is shown them. 'Don't suit,' they say. Why? Oh, the general effect is bad and the expression does not suit me.' I have given ladies as high as eight or ten sittings, when the first piccure was the only true one. They will come day after day and find fault, although their friends tell them the pictures are true to life. Give me a business man for a satisl actory customer. He generali v walks in with his hair just as he finds itupon leaving his place of business, and without a glance at the dressing-room or a looking glass he takes his seat leaves his orier and does not even ask to see the proof. Such a man generally gets a good picture. It is the anxious, nervous, man cr woman who tries to look better than nature intended who gets a still unnatural picture that looks as though the subject had assumed an expression for the occasion. These people, instead of sitting easily and measuredly, have a etilf way of sitting in the chair, and their eyes have a fixed, strained stare. Snch people can never hope to have a good likeness takf n." At this moment a young man with the unmistakeable appearance of a tough entered. His hat was on the back of his head, and carefully placed to show a sleek, oily curl that came down over his right eye. His pants were cut with an enormous spring at the bottom, and his coat was not only bound with braid an inch wide, but his pockets, both on his coat and vest, were loaded down with binding of the same material. In ans wer to the artist's polite query as to his wants, he said: "I want my picture took from head to toot." After looking at the proof to see that his spring-bottom pants and tallow-candle curl bad not been If ft out he withdrew with a self satistied Bwagger. The next subject was a baby, which struggled against "bavin its picture took" for a half hour, and succumbed to the diverting influences of a jumping-jack with a musicbox attachment. "I am often compelled to use that jumping-jack for grown people," said the artist, as the mother and child retired. "Some people take the chair with such a savage look on their faces that it is necessary to make them laugh." "What style of photo is the most extensively ordered now?" "The cabinet is almost exclusively ordered. The card photo has gone out of date. Cabinets cost from $3 to 10 a dozen, according to their finish. Our busy season is just opening now. A cabinet photo is the most popular gift in existence. We have more than we can do for a few weeks preceding the holidays." An the reporter was taking his leave a carriage stopped in front of the establishment and a young lady in full bridal costume stepped out. "Here is tedious employment for the rest of the day' said the artist. "Anything but a bride. You san't get anything that looks lovely enough for them: and their proud mothers generally stand over the opera tor and tell him what to do and how to do it" FOR TV TKARS AGO. , Aim ii iuvh ui m iigiucui i ui icicnuii I the Election of 1KI4. . 1VL1... II t J t W 1 L n It. I f New York Telegram. riAsnviLLE, lenn., jnov. 3. The issues in the present canvass are bo near allied to and akin to those pending forty years ago ia the memorable canvass when James K. Folk was elected to the Presidency that your correspondent obtained to day from Mrs. James K. Polk, widow of President Polk, some of her reminiscences of the contest in 1841. Mrs. Polk, during the life of her husband, passed

many yf ars in Washington, while he occupied positions of honor and lame and finally became an inmate of the White House itself and the head of the Nation. During his administration Mrs. Polk was his Prime Minister in everything in counsel, and was such a helpmeet as was fitted to etand by the side of the first man in the Nation. It was her custom to daily read the newspapers, interesting herself in all matters pertaining to national affairs, and such articles as she felt that her husband should note personally ehe marked for his perusal, in this way keeping up with all the political issues of the day and uniting herself to her husband by all the ties of congeniality which a loving, noble and intelligent woman could form for herself. Mrs. James K. Polk passed her eighty-first birthday in September last, and still has left to her that mental vigor which has always characterized her. In health she is somewhat feeble, though she occupied her pew yesterday In the First Presbytrian Church of this city, of which she is a member, aad united with the congregation in the communion of the Lord's Sapper. To see her one woald declare her in perfect health, and the probabilities are that her days will yet be long. She has a horror to be interviewed, though she will always talk readily to your correspondent whenever asked to discuss any important questions of the day. She entered her handsomely furnished parlor with a firm 8 ten when your correspondent called on her that refuted her fourscore years, and extended her hand in a hearty greeting that told of the warm cordiality that won her friends in the White House and wherever she is known. In answer to a question relative to the political excitement now and that of the canvass which preceded Mr. Polk's election, she said: "So many years have elapsed since that important event that the facts have almost faded from my memory, and then, too, being the wife of one of the parties most interested, the excitement was kept tar away from me. You are aware at that time our home was in Columbia, Tenn., a small

Tillage, and we had no railroads and no tele graph system," j "Wbjt wrS the questions then agitated; do yon now remerrber?" "Oh, yes; the question then, as now, was largely about the tariff. In that particular, the two canvasses forty years apart are very similar. Then, another point of similarity I remember was that without the vote, of New York Mr. Tolk could not have been elected, and we were naturally very anxious to hear from that State. The ticket was 'Polk and Dallas.' and the battle cry was Polk, Dallas and Texas,' " "Texas?" "Yes, the acquisition of Texas was another issue of the canvass. Of course there were some opposed to it there is always somebody opposed to everything. There was never another canvass, save perhaps that immediately prceding the war, that equaled it in fervor." "Was there more excitement than at the present time?" "Well, all the information I have of the present canvass is what I glean from the newspapers and from what my friends tell me, and I judge that the feeling now is as a calm May morning to the turbulent, restless storm of excitement in those days. Every district had its political military company of organized troops, which, if seen now, would alarm the people to the ververpe of madness. Since the candidacy of Mr. Bachan an the canvass has al ways, Ueen too onesided to create anv exciUaient, except when Mr. Tilden and Mr. Hendricks were candidates and perhaps now. "Y ou see, my increasing age has toned down my ardor in such matters, though I always take an interest, a deep interest, in State and National affairs. NEW YORK HAS TO BE CARRIED. "Even then it was necessary to the success of the ticket to carry New Yerk. Tennsvlvania was secured by the nomination of Mr. George M. Dallas for Vice President, and he carried his own b'tate. I regard the acquisition of Texas and the results following the Mexican War that is, the adding of California and New Mexico in the territory of the United States as among (he most important events in the hiitory q( this country, aad that fact is becoming more and more apparent. The country was advanced by these acquisitions, and has ever since resped benefit from them." "Was the tariff the leading question in that canvass? ' r "That was one of the questions; a tariff for revenue only was what the Democrats desired, while the Whigs contended that the higher the tariff the cheaper the goods. Another question wu3 concerning United States Banks, which it was desired to dispense with in favor of State Banks " "How did Mr. Polk receive the news of his election?" "There being neither tailroad nor telegraph, naturally the news was not flashed to us nor known all over the Union as soon as would now be the case. The news was received here at Nashville at night, and a party of friends took buggies and drove to Columbia, a distance of forty miles, and arrived thereabout 2 o'clock in the morning. Mr. Polk was at home when he received the intelligence, and there was afterward a grand demonstration ; of course, not at that hour, as it was so late" MAN-EATERS IN INDIA. The l'rightrul Ravages of Tigers Six Vitlages Abandoned. . London Globe.j H G. Turner, acting agent to the Governor of Yizsgapatam, writes to the Chiet Secretary to the Madras Government, from Lothugelda, on the 3d of June, 181, as follows: "I have the honor to report that the neighborhood of this village, together with thj adjoining villages belonging to Gangs raz Madgole, are infested with man-eating tigers to such an extent as to render some special measures being taken; for their destruction a matter of urgent importance. During the last four months upward of forty people have been killed in the vicinity of the police stations of Paderu, Nandapoor, Padawa and Suiankota. In the neighborhood where I am now encamped, which is within the circle of the Eamshinghi police station, upward bf thirty-five poeple have been killed in the last twelve months, and iu both places there is a weekly recurrence of deaths from the same cause. The panic that exists hero is terrible. People will not go out of their houses arter dark. : They are obliged to gather in lare parties to go to market; villages are deserted; cultivation is pursued under the greatest difhculy and in constant treoidation. This tuorniDg I was shown- .a deserted village abandoned on account bf the tiger terror. 1'ecently a man and his wife were plowing a field near this abandoned village when a tiger attacked the man in the middle of the day. He hit him with a bill-hoot, and the tiger turned on the woman and carried her or before his eyes. On the same road I was shown two spats where the tiger carried off two men in one day. J Yesterday I was shown a place where a tifer sprang upon a constable, knocked him "down and mau'ed him so severely that he died the next cay. This constable was one of a guard who were escorting about 100 people home from market. Three days ago a village munsif came to see me, with the story that a tiger got into his yard, in tbe middle of ,& village, seized his wife, and, although he b-at it off, the poor woman died next day. I came up here with ,

Mr. Lushington, and Messrs. Egan and Stuart, from Jaypore, joined our camp with the hope of getting a cbance at this brute, and the niaharajah of Vizlanagrum, with his usual public spirit, has lent me some shikar elephants, but the hopes of finding a tiger in such an immense area of forest are very dim Indeed,' and I am afraid no good will come of our efforts. There is some chance thst this particular tiger of this neighborhood was killed by one of the constables, who got a shot at him when he was carrying off his comrade, as I have mentioned above. But north and west of us stories of ravages continue to come in; and a tiger killed a man at Gaugaraz Madgole within the last four days. We have been in consultation as to what is to be done in this dreadful position of affairs, and we are unanimously of opinion that the only thiDg to do is to supply certain villages witu police, carbines and ammunition, and endeavor to persuade the villagers to attempt to kill these beasts themselves, giving the usual reward of 1C0 rupes for an ordinary tiger, and a special reward of 200 rupes for the well-established death of a man-eater. I have inquired of a few villagers who tell me that their guns are no good, being matchlocks, that they have no guns, that their guns were lost in the liouri. I therefore think it likely that this unprecedented human slaughter may arise from an unusual dearth of fire-arms in the country. It is clear to me that if something is not done to stop these ravages the countryside will be gradually depopulated. I should say that at least six villages have been abandoned quite recently from this cause, and this means that lands have fallen out of cultivation, that the people try to live on jungle produce, and, failing that, go off to the plains as laborers. It is not only the absolute danger of life that we have to think about, but likewise the disastrous stopping of all agricultural operations. It is horrible to contemplate the feelings of a poor laborer going out for his day's work to a field a few hundred yards from his house with the knowledge about him that there is an even chance of his being carried away from the side of his plow, or that his wife may be seized when she is bringing him his midday meal. Yet this is, and must be. the attitude of mind of every man in this country who pursues the usually peaceful vocation of the husbandman."

"Billy the Scrapper." Philadelphia Eecoid. "Now, then, Beddy McGinty, kape In the line, or I'll be afther kicking the red, white and blue stuffin' out of yez. I've spoke to yez once, and I'll spake to yez no more." The above somewhat inelegant remark, which was spoken with an air of conscious anthority, was overheard by a Kecord reporter hurrying through Jayne street, above Seventh, on Saturday afternoon, where throngs of newsboys were waiting for the last editions of the four or five afternoon papers which have their distributing rooms on that narrow thoroughfare. The speaker was William J. Herrity, a short, broad-shouldered and muscular newsboy about seventeen years of age, better known to fame as "Billy the Scrapper," and his note of warning was addressed to a small specimen of carrot-topped humanity who had attempted to oust a still more juvenile colored boy out of his place in the line that was besieging the distribution window of the Item cilice. At that moment two diminutive youngsters approached the "Scrapper, and, each handing him a cent, took their places at the end of the line of boys, who were making as much noise as so many gigantic English sparrows. "Well, I'll tell yea how I works it." said the sturdy youth, in reply to a question as to what he had been paid for; "yez see these kids coms here to get their papes, and the big 'uns 'ud have everything their own way if I didn t look out and keep order, ihey'd be after pushin the kids out of ther places ia the line, and scarin' away the darkies and ginerally upsettin' the whole business Jist out of diveltry." "And the little boys pay you to keep order and protect them in their rights?' "J light y ez are, and it's chape at the money, fur I'm only after chargin' them a cent a day." Here he suddenly darted across th9 street and cuffed a boy on the head who was wrangling with one of his little clients over some early edition papers, "tuit tryin' to cbate the kid, yer dirty duffer. Paid fur yer place, did ytz? an' what if yez did, that's no reason pr yez to cbate Jonnie Baxter, is it?" He then went up to the window to settle another dispute, and the reporter turned to a small boy for further information. "Ob, he makes about $3 or ft a week at this job when there's anything going on that sells tbe papers, and he only works at it tor two or three hours. In the morning he sells papers himself. Why is he called the Scrapper? Why, 'cause he's so fond of Ecrappin', of course. The admiring youngster then proceeded to tell how the Scrapper had fought scores of ambitions young pugilists from the ranks of the newsboys and bootblackB, and had come out first in every encounter. "Oh, he's a dandy, I tell you, and he lights as fair as they make 'em," was the high praise with which the Scrapper's little admirer wound up his account of the hero's doings, For over a year Mr. Herrity has been keeping order and protecting the small fry from imposition and the bullying of the larger boys, and he has come to be regarded as judge and jury in all the squabbles that take place among the horde of boys that gather about the neighborhood mentioned. He takes great pride in his fairness. The payment of a cent, while it entitles a boy to be carefully looked after for the day, does not allow him to take any liberties with tbe boys who have not paid, and any movement of that sort is promptly stopped by the Scrapper's warning voice or muscular arms. They Can Kot Io It Twice. New York Herald. 1 The Eepublican party clings to the power which the people have voted that it shall lay down. There is a conspiracy to steal the iTesidency and Vice Presidency of the United States again for candidates whom he people have rejected. Eight years ago the robbery was done in Florida, Louisiana and South Carolina. To-day it is attempted in New York. Audacity is tbe Republican policy now as it was in lsTti. Zichariah Chandler is dead, but Stephen B. Elkins and Jay Gould survive. They are the chief conspirators Elkins inspiring the Republican National Committee. Gould controlling the Western Union Telegraph Company. During the last two days Gould, by falee reports of election figures through his telegraph agencies, has been executing his share of the plot by preparing Republican partisans for a fraudulent claim that the vote of New York has been cast for Blaine and Legan. Yesterday afternoon when Gould's work bad been going on for twenty-four hours, it became ripe for Elkins, and the Republican National Committee, which Elkins owns as absoulutely as any gang of negroes ever was owned in the slave-trading times, issued a proclamation advancing the plot to its second stage. This proclamation claims Indiana as well as New York for Blaine and Logan, ayers as to New York that there is "no ground for doubt" of the claim. Impudently imputes an intention of fraud to Governor Cleveland and the returning officers, and summons the people to "resistance." It is tbe old fable of the wolf and the lamb and tbe turbid water. The Republican wolf ate the lamb in IS'O. But if we know the

American people he can not do that again in 1884, and it we know G rover Cleveland tbe wolf will, find mere than its match in strength and determination. It is the official returns of the ballots of the people of New York, honestly counted, and it is not Jay Gould and his Western Union Telegraph Company, that are to determice the electoral vote of this Suite. We believe that those returns, if honestly counted, show that a majority of the p3one bave voted for Cleveland and Hendricks. We also believe that Gould and Elkins are conspiring to cheat the count. Our counsel is for peaceful methods and careful abstinence from any others till the last extremity. But if the Republican National Committee's call for "resistance" is meant to incite Republicans to resort to violent means to defend frauds on the pretext of preventing them, upon the heads of Elkins and his fellow-members of that committee rests the responsibility for tbe stirring np of any violence that may ensue. The people of the United States have been cheated once by tbe Republican party in a Presidential count, and have submitted wheu the cheat was ratified by arbitration. In the 55,000,000 inhabitants of this country there are not 55,000, if they can read and write, who to-day do not feel in their hearts that from March, 1877, to March, 1881. the two men who exercised the offices of President and Vice President never were elected to them fairly. There will be no arbitration this time, nor any submission.

TUE NEW MANAGER. Is Mr. Jay Gould a Satisfactory Representative of tbe Republican Party? I Boston Advertiser, Nov. 7. The way in what are called the interests of the Republican party have been taken care of for the last two days will, no doubt, fix the attention of a good many of those Republicans who gave their support to Mr. Blaine. For the time being the great representative of the party is Mr. Jay Gould. Mr, Elkins is the acting rxanaer, of course, and for a time Mr. Secretary Chandler has appeared upon the seen?. Objection could be raised to either of these persons as active agents of a Earty which stands for moral ideas and an onest ballet, without implying that the objector is particularly squeamish or "finicky," to use the word of a visiting orator the other day in Faneuil HalL But the open appearance of Mr. Jay Gould, to give the inspiration and to fix the standard of proper action at a most critical moment, passes everything that has yet happened. We have several times expressed our distrust of the present management of the Republican party. Here is a concrete case, the embodiment of the new management in a single person, and in the most conspicuous manner possible, which we pray our friends to consider wen. We shall not take up the charges of fraudulent practices which have been rife for the last two days, but shall content ourselves with inquiring whether gentlemen who have stood by the party nominations this year think, on the whole, that Mr. Jay Gould is a satisfactory, or even a reputable, representative of the interests of a party which assumes to be in a peculiar sense the guardian of public morals. Mr. Gould is a great power as a railway monopolist, and may be supposed to have important views as to the railway management, though he . is generally credited with more particular devotion to the manipulation of the "Gould stocks" in the market; but has anybody ever heard that Mr. Gould had any tneb interest in public affairs that he should be tbe natural person to take the helm for a great party in straits? He did, indeed, have some interest of that sort for a moment fifteen years ago; but that was when he was preparing for the gold speculations which terminated on "Black Friday," and we do not remember that he has since attracted attention as a political student or amateur statesman. Mr. Gould is known to have a special in ! terest in the election of Mr. Blaine an in terest which was once hinted at in Eome memorable phrases by Mr. Edmunds, and was proved by substantial evidence at the Delmonico banquet. But does that make him a satisfactory' exponent, protector, and pilot for the Republican party? It is to be nsesumed that he is thus satisfactory for the I a;.. Knt 4V. the party, so that he can intrnst its good name, as well as his individual fortunes, to wbateyer centrol he chooses, or feels bound to accept. Tbe men of business, the cooler part of i tbe community those who thrive otherwise than by the trade of politics realize that the present is a grave crisis. It is a time when the interests of both candidates and of both parties may justifiably be watched for jealously, and when the coolest, the most honorable,' and especially the most respected party representatives should have the guidance of affairs on each side. Are the interests of the Republican party in such hands at this moment? Is there one intelligent Republican who does not feel in his soul that Mr. Gould's intervention this week necessaiily throws doubt upon the fairness and honesty of tbe 6teps taken? is there one who does not say to himselt that this presence from Wall street means some sort of connection between stock gambling and politics? And is there one who does not leel that this also means an enormous increase of the temptation to "crookedness," which the hope of political success by itself offers in plenty? It was not by such hands that the Republican party was piloted through tbe stormy scenes in which it won its fame. And we do not believe that its management by such hands is now witnessed by tbe mass, even of these Republicans who followed Mr. Blaine, without a sense of shame. TBE SCOTT LAW. A Lull in the Peddling: of Ides. I New York Times. Saturday. 1 As during the early part of Thursday, no up-town gathering yesterday was to be compared m size with that at the Republican National headquarters. The members of the committe were on hand early, going directly to the consultation room in which Thursday's conference was held, with Jay Gould and ex-Governor Cornell as the committee's coadjutors. Thursday's bold tactics, however, were not again attempted. No word issued from the consultation room during the entire morning. A steady stream of anxious men meanwhile filed into tbe room begging a word of encouragement. Several messages to the committee passed the doorkeeper and were sent up stairs. The unvarying reply was that although the committee had received many private advices, there wasnothiDg to communicate of public interest, bnt that there was na reason to change the claim of the night before that Blaine had carried this State. A man came from one of the rear rooms on the lower floor a little before noon, saying that the latest calculations gave the State to Blaine by 1.400. "1 wish we could believe it," was the comment from a voice near the door. A murmur of acquiescence in this expression of distrust passed gloomily over the room. Tbe committee were discredited under their own roof. A young man with a pale face and dark spots under his eyes, the evident effects of a sleepless week, clambered over the stoop of the house above ths headquarters and reached the staging in the committee's yard. Sergeant-at-Arms Merritt sat at the window. "See here," said the young man, clutching

Mr. Merritt's arm, "I want you to tell me tbe truth. I have a big amount of money on Blaine nearly every dollar I own. Now, do yon honestly believe he is elected?" "I have no doubt," was the reply, "that he has carried this State and is elected." "Do you think he has carried Indiana." "Ye 8, Indiana and New York " "Then what is the meaning of John C. New's difpatch in the Tribune conceding Indiana to the Democrats?" "1 am surprised that the Tribune published it," Mr. Merritt said, dolefully. At that moment an extra edition of Cyrus W. Field's Blaine organ was brought on the platform, the headlines practically conceding Cleveland's election, and announcing Jay Geuld's telegram of congratulation to Governor Cleveland. Mr. Merritt had nothing to say. A new arrival then drew from bis pocket a copy of the noon Associated Prets bulletin, which recited a rigmarole about mountain districts and mall returns, from which the conclusion was announced that "this confirms the first press report of to-day, that if the Associated Press reports are correct and the returns to the County Clerks incorrect, BiaiDe has a plurality of 1,000 in the Slate of New York." "Well," said Mr. Merritt, "the districts yet to be reporUd gave Garfield a plurality of 4,000. We have no reason yet to fear the result." The bystanders gave no sign of believing any such' professions. The Gould dispatch and the weakening of the Associated Press were arguments not to be surmounted by bluster, and there was no disposition in the crowd strongly partisan as It was, to second the committee's efforts at bluff.

"Counting Oat" in New York. New York Times. J While the Western Union Company was in use yesterday to fabricate monstrous untruths which it pretended merely to transmit, many people were talking of the chance that the vote of New York might not be counted as it had been cast. There is no danger of this result. A miscount could only happen, under the lawa of New York, if there were any election district in which there was no minority, and, therefore, no representative of the minority to watch the count, or if that representative had been bribed to acquiesce in a false count. The law provides for an Inspector of Elections on the part of the minority in every election district of the State, and such a representative wes, as a matter of fact, present in every election district of the State on Tuesday night. The Inspectors are not permitted to pass upon the legal sufficiency of the ballots dropped in their boxes. They are to forward a specimen of each kind of ballot used, with their return, to the Supervisors of the county. A record is kept of the announcement of the count in every election district, and as the function of the Supervisors to whom the reports are made is simply to add the totals of election districts, any discrepancy between the vote as announced by the Saperi isors and the sum of the district totals would be detected and exposed at once, and would subject the Supervisors to severe punishment. No doubt noon proof of the ui&crtpancy a court would issue a mandamus to the Supervisors to make a recount on arithmetical principles, and not upon partisan sentiments. The .functions of the State Board of Canvassers" are also ministerial. Their duty is simply to add up the county totals. Of course, any failure here would be visible to tbe whole State. A question as to the formal sufficiency of the ballots may be raised by the protest of any member of the State Board, which is filed with the return made by bis associates. The whole business of counting votes is done in the daylight, from the first step to the last. Election frauds in this State have been generally confined to this city, and to cases in which the Inspector appointed en behalf the minority has been in colli usion with his associates. There is absolutely no fear that the vote of the rural districts will cot be counted as it is cast. THANKSGIVING. Tbe Governer of New York lias Issued the Following Proclamation of Thanksgiving.
