New York in the Light of the Figures

Some of the figures OF the recent election
In this State are instructive to all parties.
The whole vote cast for Judge Of the Court
of Appeals, the only candidate at large, was
B2i, oGG. DANFoRTH, Republican, received
s9l, ,A1; BRADLEY, Democrat 95S, IO2; Tuck
ER, Greenback. 70 100; and VAN CoTT, Pro-
hibition, 4,223 Though this gives DAN
FORTH n plurality of 37,939 over BRADLEY,
he still falls short by over 10000 Of getting
majority Of the whole vote cast.
The Republicans OF New York, therefore,
stand in the same position i'm regard TO the
popular vote thrown for their State ticket,
with their political brethren in Maine In re-
spcct to their candidate for Governor.
Neither OF them have carried their State by
nh absolute majority.
Last year the whole vote cast for the
Secretary Of State Of New York was
7s6,5l6. BEACH, Democrat, received 3s3,062,
and CHURCHILL, Republican, 81, 70s. This
gave BEACH an apparent majority Of
1924. But the several candidates
the Workingmcn. the Grccnbackcrs the
Social Democrats, the Prohibitionsts. and
the scattering, pollcd an aggregate OF
81 CSC. This makes a total Of 4)3ljI votes
ing him over 10000 short OF majority Of the
whole vote thrown for Secretary Of State.
In 1876 the whole vote thrown for Prcsi-
dent was 1,0l5, 562, Of which TILDEN obtained
b2l0l9, and HAYES 9,2O7, which gave Ill
Den majority Of 32,7l2 over HAYES. The
Prohibitionists and Greenbackers east 4, 5OG
votes for President, leaving TILDENs ma
jority over all - .236.
These figures show that neither the Demo-
Gratis nor the Republicans have carried the
State by an absolute majority since the
Democrats succeeded in accomplishing that
result in 1876 and that the number Of
electors who voted in 1876, and did not vote
In 1877 or this present year, is upward Of
100000
These figures may afford food for refec-
dion to those who are wont to class New
York among the States which are sure for
this party or the other.

Ono Of the first duties Of the House Of
Representatives, which ought not to be
postponed one hour after the ccremonlous
Organization, will be to inquire into the
authenticity OF the cipher kilograms which
were published on the eve Of the recent
elections, the correctness Of thor transla-
tons, and the means by which they were
obtained. This is due to public morals and
1t Is due 10 the parties whose names have
been banded so freely over the country that
they should have an opportunity to vindi-
cate themselves, If that be possible. If not,
they must suffer the consequences

How Does Queen Victoria Sit,

The Marquis Of LoRNE was welcomed to
Montreal by the Mayor, Aldermen, and
citizens. He delivered to them a formal,
written response Singularly enough, in
stead of telling them something now and
instructive, or at least entertaining, he
undertook to inform them on subject with
which they might naturally be expected to
be more familiar than he. He assumed to
tell them how Montreal sits And how did
he say she sits2 He said
your beautiful city sits lkc a Queen"
Now the only Queen that the Marquis Of
LoRNE knows anything particular about is
Queen VICTORIA, his mothor-in-law.
But suppose he had said Your beautiful
city sits like my mother-in-law, how Hat
and ridiculous his speech would have
sounded And yet, manifcstly, that must
be what he meant
Then again the comparison was not apt
He was anything but happy in his illustra-
ton. The Queen Of England, the mother Of
numerous offspring and the grandmother Of
n still more numerous progeny. has always
been represented as very actvo--a busy
body who seldom sits in ono place any con-
siderable length of time. Montreal is inn
movable, and always sits in the same
place She doesn't sit at all like Queen
VICTORIA. who sits in n chair, and once in a
while on the throne; but only few minutes
at time.
II would have been more appropriate to
say: "Your beautiful city sits like hen, -
because hen sits three weeks on the same
nest; or, still more correct to say: "Your
beautiful city sits like goose because a
goose sits tour weeks in the same place.
Almost any comparison would have been
preferable to the one he employed.
We doubt whether the Marquis's mother
in-law will be pleased when she receives her
