to obtain prompt decision the
question of the receivability Of the

which The revenue officer OF the
State declined to receive. Crouch
refused to make payment IN any
other way, whereupon he was ar
rested and held for trial by order

Our Very Latest.

The count still proceeds in New
York. The democratic press
claims that no change results, be.
cause the returning boards have
no function but to foot up and
count. The republicans claim that
Blaine has a.much larger plurality
than was before asserted for him if
they can get a fair count. The
state returning board stands four
democrats and one republican, as
far as we understand the case. Let
the result be what it may, nothing
of great detriment can follow, and
parties are so nearly equal as that
neither will dare to commit any
great blundcrs. There is no oc-
casion for leaving this country.

a bourbon isuse.

Just the week before election il
was announced that the Blair
educational bill twas not fayorably
acted on by the democratic house
because they had not the time.
This statement was 50 wide Of the
truth that it vas used when it could
not be met. The argument before
had been that the bill was uncOnsti-
tutional.
The real truth is that the bill was
sent to the house from the senate
two months before adjournment,
and by unanimous consent could
have been passed in a day. Mo-
ton was made 10 take it up and
put it on its passage, and objection
was made by II Virginia bourbon.
BY reason Of this the State Of Vir-
ginia was deprived Of over five
millions Of dollars for her public
schools from the money now lying
idle in the treasury. In this we
all suffer some, but the children are
the principle victims. The general
public would have been benefited
by having this money put into
circulation, and the general tax
payers of the states and counties
might have felt some further re.
lief.
But the bill still lives on the
speakers table, and we will see |
what bourbOnism will do with it |

The fifth session of the legisla-
ture for this year is now being
held. They have done nothing so
far. At the close they will have
passed a fraudulent election law,
and drawn their pay. Such things
do not commend hem5clves very
long. The reaction will come.
The bourbOns carried the state
Of Virginia by the skin of their
teeth. They claimed 10000 and
got 900. This is a loss of $4,000

determine the result in number

is known, however, to show that

The General Result.


Last week we held the HERALD
back in the vain hope that we could
give our readers definite informa-
ton Of the election.
kilograms received up to the hour
of going to press then indicated that
Blaine had carried New York by a
very small plurality.
Relying upon the sources OF in
formation we then had, we had some
doubt OF success, but we could not
refrain from solving doubts on the
side of our wishes.
We are inclined to do the same
now. We believe we were and are
. right, and we still hope that right
will prevail.
But We must confess that we are
as unable to give satisfactory infor-
nation now as we were this time
last week.
The small success of Hendricks
in his own state made New York
essential. We wish a president
could have been elected without the
brokers' state.
Almost every hour since the close
of the polls, both parties have laid
claim to that state by a plurality
ranging from 400 to 1000, and, for
a brief period, the figures of each
side ranged from 1000 to 5000 plu-
rality.
The situation is unchanged in re-
Spect to the matter Of claims. The
democratic committee still claims
the state by small plurality Of 500.
The republican national commit
tee claims it by l,20O.
1t is quite clear that nothing but
the official count can settle so close
an election in a state having nearly
1000 election districts and polling
100000 votes.
So there remains nothing to do
but to poSsessour souls in patience,
and calmly await results, being pre-
pared to meet them in a spirit be-
coming men who believe in a form
OF government in which the MAORI
ty must and should rule.
For the sake of our Institutions,
we wish the result in New York
were more decisive one way or the
other. 1t would have avoided the
unsecmly talk about counting in "
or" counting out" For our part
the man with the maiOrity,whether
it Be one or a million; whether he
be of one party or another, shall
have honest support for his inau-
guratiou.
We want no Electoral commits
sions-uo abdication by congress
Of its constitutional functions aud
representative duty-nO emulation
Of the example of the late Virginia
legislature which ignored cOnstitu
ent rights in a way that outraged

islative halls.
We hope for fair count and the
Inauguration of the man with
majority.
It's now suggested that the Tam
many and county democracy have
fallen ont among themselves, and
that each is crying fraud against
the other. Kelly is beaten. They
threaten to carry the election re-
turns into the courts. If they shall
do this, the delay will suffice to al
lay feeling and better prepare the
people everywhere to accept the
result.
