jorities, although ii admits that Mr.. Warts in-
creased vote over the republican candidates in
New York city makes the contest for the attor-
ney generalshlp very close. In regard to the
vote on the state ticket the Hsrald says: An
other day has paSsed-the third since the cleo
the generaI state tse ence OF any 9mer on

year, when the election was for governor AM
other state officers, and $500 larger than tn =
