SANITARY CONDITION OF TIFF CITY.

RESULT IN THE CITY TO BE KNOWN TODAY.
IIkEI HOOD TuAT TILE VOTES For PRESIDENT WILL

LIKELIHOOD THAT THE VOTES FOR PRESIDENT WILL
BE COUNTED IN ADVANCE OF THE OTHERS
There is strong probability now that the vote OF
the city on Presidential Electors will be known
soon after to-day. So much interest is felt In
the result that it has been deemed best to
call off the figures on the returns for elect
ors and have them tabulated. The count OK
the of the tickets then be proceeded with.
Counsel for both sides met yesterday afternoon and
practically agreed on this. Colonel George BllSs
and John f. Brodsky represented the Republicans.
and A. j. VanderpOel, General Francis &. Barlow
and c. Z. Miller the Democrats. The Democratic
first proposed the method and Colonel Bliss
promptly acquiesced. The Democrats, fearing that
they might have prepared pltfall for
themselves, asked for time for consideration, and
was agreed that the decision Of the Board OF Su-
pervIsors should be announced this morning Aside
from this there little of interest during the
day. Once or twice there was small ripple over
some defective ballot or incorrect footings by IN
spectOrs whose mathematics had been negecteds
but on the whole the count went on monOtonously
and rapidly. When the Board adjourned at night
1t had completed the canvass of more than one-han
of all the Assembly districts.
ONE VOTE FOR GROVER CLEVELAND
The days proceedings began with the reading Of
the returns of the IXth District by Supervisor
Miller, There were four changes IN this district
In the Tenth Election District Grover Cleveland
received one vote. This credited as such.
When the Thirty-frst Election District was reached
1t was found that the Supervisory
return was missing. In its place was

mittec Oh Corrected Returns and the inspectors
were sent for This district when finished footed up
electors, 5,276. The City Press returns on tho
morning after election showed: Blaine electors
4I37; Cleveland electors. 5,2O2. -,
The Xth Assembly District returns were read "
Supervisor RothInan. In the Nineteenth Elec-
tion district two defective ballots
for Presidential Electors were found.
This return was sent TO the Committee on Corrected
c"rrcctio on the Judiciary ticket. he returns as
canvassed gave Blaine electors. i,l77; Cleveland
electors, 5,593. The returns given by the City
Press were: Blaine electors 4,l77 Cleveland elec-
tors 5.593, q gain of five for Cleveland.
Supervisor VConnor read the returns from tho
Xlth Assembly District lie read rapidly
and clearly. In the Tenth Election
District the figures for Allen and Patter-
son, candidates for Judge of tho Court OF Common
Pleas were reversed. On the County Clerks re-
turn Allen received 30 votes and Patterson Oos
