New York is still in doubt and the precise
majorities will not be known until the Off
cial returns are made. The World says that
the returns received by it and of several of
its contemporaries on election night abund-
antly justified the concession made by the
republican committee that the democratic
state officers had all been elected, but
there no returns yet received which justify
the claim made, for instance, by the 7ri5-
ataae on the morning after election, and
repeated since, that all the republican state
officers excepting Hustled have been elected.
What is certain is that whereas the repub-
licans in the last legislature had a two
thirds majority, amounting on joint ballot
to the enormous figure of fifty-two, this
immense .preponderance has been so com
pletely upset that the democrats even on
the present return show q majority of eight
votes on joint ballot. This represents
change of sixty votes in the legislature in

Tuesday. November Is 1888!

Mr.. Gladstone in his speech at the Guild
hall declared that the law would be en-
forced with firmness and decision in Ire
land. Its endorsements has been intrusted
to those agents who, whether constabulary
or military forces, have already earned a
title TO the gratitude of their countrymen
by the courage and exemplary patience
with which they have performed their
difficult duties.
The Times saws: This emphatic state
ment may Sserve as warning to those
tenants who, being tempted, yield even
Temporarily to the no-rent policy. We
understand that the practical difficulty of
engaging in a conflict with the large body
of Irish tenantry will be met if occasion
arise by taking one by one the counties in
which resistance to rent may by organ
lied, and by using for the enforcement of
law the whole power of the executive.
Landlords, if assured that the Government
will strenuously support their legal rights
now that the last semblance of injustice
is removed, may be called upon in certain
districts to postpone their demands until
recatcitrant tenants are reduced to sub
mission elsewhere. 1t is plain that thus
the law can be effectually indicated.
Those who have time to reflect will prob
ably profit byE the exemplary punishment
of their fellows"
On the Edgeworthstown estate, county
Longford, the tenants of Mr.. George
Errington, M. P, for the county, have de-
clared that they viii lot pay rents, in con-
sequence of refusal of Is per cent. re-
duction. The tenants of Sir George
Fetherston, Bart. in the same district; the
tenants of the Earl of Buckinghamshire
and the tenantry of other estates near
Limerick have made similar declarations.
The Pal Null Gazette, commenting on
the complimentary allusion at the Guild
hall banquet to the Irish administration of
Nj. Forster, says: I'VE have to pay for
the degree of order that has been secured
by deepened disaffection. 1t would be
great mistake to suppose that only
Fenians and rebels resent the work that
are deeply incensed at the scandalous in
justice, such as shown In the case of Dr.
Kenny"
Mr.. Gladstone and the Times, to the
contrary, however, it very much seems as
if the tenants would not pay rent and the
question is how are the landlords going to
help themselves?

The Albany Express, (stalwart,) is mad
because the halfbreeds would not vote for
the stalwart candidates and expresses itself
in this brotherly style.
1T was seen that half breed vengeance
was not yet satisfied They would be sat
lated. They would be satisfied with moth
ing less than the full price of blood. The
batteries were boldly opened upon Hurd;
the sneaks secretly conspired against
Braman and Draper, and boiling nomina-
tons were put in the field in Oneida ard
Oswego counties. Plainly the purpose
was revealed was to defeat openly Oh
to stab in secret, as bravery or hypocrisy
seemed most congenial. The Albany half
breen preferred Indian treacheary to manly
opposition, and the result is recorded else
where. If the Republicans of Albany had
nominated their Husteds, their Everetts
and their Steeles, they might have been
sustained, but they preferred men of lof-
tier purpose and truer integrity, and have
been beaten. Their honor remains, how
ever"
Truly it is united partyl
