New York's Electoral Vote.

The Republican Victory Not Disputed by the Democratic State Committee The Only Possible Grounds for a Com test in General HancOck's Interest," Knocking the Pins from Under John KeIIy-Importnn Letter from Edgar
 K. Apgar.
 From hs New York HeraId.r
 The following letter has been addressed to the Albany 47yus by Mir. Edgar K. Apgar of the New York Democratic State Executive committee:
 As there appears to be some misunder- standing on the subject it is proper to state that there has been no meeting held since the day of election either by the Democratic State committee of the Executive commit tee of that body, nor have notices been sent to the members of either committee for any such meeting in the future. Any action taken by the members of the committee, whether officers otherwise, is individual action, which the committee has not authorized, and for which it cannot be held responsible In so grave matter as calling into question the vote of New York in the Electoral College too great caution cannot be exercised The only way in which any contest could be made, with even the shadow of probable success, would be by the rejection of the Repub- Hcan electoral tickets on which the word 'electors'' has been twice printed. This. I believe cannot and should not be done To change the result in any other way more than twenty thousand separate cases of fraud ulent or corrupt voting would have to be proved-an evident impossibility. It cer- tainly cannot be expected that the present State Board of Canvassers will declare other wise than is shown by the face of the returns, and my view of democratic doctrine leads me to hold that Congress cannot go behind the seal of the State to investigate fraud at the polls in the choice of Presidential electors This being so, it seems to me that all talk as- suming to possess an official character about having the electoral vote of this State cast for Hancock is calculated to bring ridicule and reproach upon the Democratic party and would tend, if importance were given to it, to produce still worse effect Those who would justify even slight departure from established laws and forms to count in Gen. eral Hancock in a spirit of revenge for the frauds of 1876, would, in my judgment, go far to make the bad precedent of that year a rule for the future, and would take a long step toward Mexicanizing our government Holding firmly to these views, I am impelled to their public utterance as member of the Democratic State committee and of the exe- cutive committee, in order that I ''may not be considered to have by silence acquiesced in' what purports to be, but is not, the au- thorized action of either committee.
 Very truly yours

They have curious custom in India for the dissemination of ideas, the complaints of the people and the announcement of their needs. Companies of young men assemble at fairs and the great bazars of the country towns and sing songs which contain, without much attempt at rhythm, the subjects they desire to bring to the ears of the populace. Recently these Kirtans complain in simple, pathetic language of the injury to the peo- pie done by the free-trade system of Eng land from which the whole of India now suffers. They recite the past richness, beauty and excellence of their home manu- factures, their wonderful creations in cloth, silks, cashmeres wool fabrics, jewelry, robes, turbans, shawls, necklaces, all of which have disappeared. These young men are taught the English language, gluttony and drunken ness; become B. As and M. As and de- spise their people.

THE RIGHT MAN IN THE RIGHT
 PLACE

A few days ago we mentioned the names of several members of the Connecticut House of Representatives who, by virtue of natural ability, general training and legislative expe- rience, are fitted to fill the Speakers chair. Among those thus mentioned was Hon. Will liam c. Case of Granby. whose qualifications for the place are unsurpassed, not to say un- equalled, by those of any other candidate
 Mir. Case is one of the ablest lawyers in the State. He has had greater legislative expe- rience than any of the other candidates: He is thoroughly familiar with parliamentary law, has cool head and quick wit, and un- der him the business of the House would proceed without friction and needless delay
 Then, too, if service to the party is to be considered in making the selection (and it usually is considered) MT. Case is certainly entitled on this ground to the favorable con sideration of the members of the House. He is an active Republican, and during the cam- paign just closed, and in others, has done ef- fective work for the party on the stump. Those who have heard his eloquent and con- vincing speeches, and they have been heard in all parts of the State, know how true this is.
 All things considered, MT. Case as Speaker would be emphatically the right man in the right place.

The astronomer of the Providence Journal says the earth is about to cross the track of the November meteors, that gigantic ellipse of met oric matter whose perihelion crosses the eartlLs orbit, and whose aphelion extends beyond the planet Uranus. From the 10th to the 14th, the earth is p1oughing through this meteor zone, and more meteors than usual, radiat- ing from the constellation Perseus, may be looked for. The probability is that not many will be seen, but there is a delightful uncertainty about the working of celestial
 machinery that makes it not impossible that observers will be rewarded with more than the ordinary shower. The November me- teor-zone is made up of a swarm of parti- eles, following in the train of Tempers comet. The swarm of meteoroids is not equally scattered around the orbit, but is
