When Freedom from her mountain hight
Unfurled her banner to the air,

Where b. eathes the foe but falls before US
With freedoms soil beneath our fest
And freedoms banner streaming DER us2
II is our flag IS we'll as that OF the most
stalwart Of Republicans 1t is the flag Of
Delaware, Of New York, Of Indiana, Of
New Jersey, Connecticut and the solid
south; II is the flag Of the Independent
Republicans who have marched to victory
under the lead Of Cleveland and
Hendricks and the election Of Cleveland
and Hendricks gives the glorious as
surance that that dag shall continue to
wave over q nation which has decided
that our government shall be an honest
and an honorable one.
For with each passing day we regard
the prospective election Of Grover Cleve-
land to the Presidency and the re. election
Of Thomas A. Hendricks to the Vice
Presidency as more and more assured
There has been a crisis impending
but the storm did not break
and now It only remains for every body
to 20 back to his regular daily duty
and to keep perfectly cool in the serene
consciousness that there will be NO NOR,
returning board " business, but tha
the official count Of ths state board o.
eAnvaasers in New York will settle the
matter AuthoritRtively and that settle
msnt will be acquiesced in by the who'll
people.
On Thursday night RvERY EyENIS
stood where 1t could hear prett,
plainly the pulsations Of the great hear
Of this great nation. The temper Of tn
people, we are convinced, was then bsinI
tested by the powers which are controlled
by Jay Gould, whose immense stake il
the election Of Blaine has bsen full,
appreciated. Up to midnight that tes
was protracted and then there came
sudden Revision. The great manipu
lator had learned that the voice Of th
people could not be stiHed, and his NJ
conditional surrender yesterday show
how thoroughly he had learned thi
lesson.
Therefore our advice to everybody is I
keep cool aud await patiently the vel
dict Of the county oanvsssers on Tuesda
next, or even, il necessary, the subs'
quent revision Of that verdict by the Ne

Sew Yorh,s sgunlcIpau election.

New RoFk's Municipal EAectt0n-
Ali voters in the city Of New York,
who Acs for what they honestly consider
the welfare Of that great city have had
demonstrated to them by the present
election the folly Of holding q
municipal and national election
at the same time. The only
persons who have been pleased with this
arrangement are the slavish members Of
professional political organisations who
are Watching for opportunities to
cast their anchors to windward
and enrich themselves by rotbing
the taxpayers. Il may be, however,
since those biters have besn badly bitten

rogues will agree that New Yoik's MUM

At Robesonis, 10 miles from Stouchs-
burg, Eumbsr Of masons were working
at the bottom Of Ferguson & CompAny's

with new fire brick. The stack was
probably 100 feet high and the work
nearly completed. Ten, some say Is, men
were in the stack, SONS at the bottom and
others on the scatfold above.
just as the shock of the dynamite ex.
plosiOn was felt, the stack quivered, there
was q rnmbllpg noise, followed imme
diately by great deluge Of bricks, com

The election took place last Tuesday and
the Tribune has not yet learned the result
Of 1t. Instead OF furnishing its readers
with accurate returns II has tried TO
make them believe that one James q.

once candidate for the Presidency, has
been elected. Naturally, the best

sin pity IL may bs said THAI its con-
duct since the election has not been the
result OF deliberate design, or indeed Of
any exercise OF Its presumed brain. The
Iribune's gyrstions have been, 80 to
speak, purely muscular and automatic.
Like the common domestic hen sitter

their automatic character.

vassod and Declared.
Albany journal.
When the boards OF supervisors have
completed their CANVASS they are required
to deliver three certified copies Of 1t to
the county clerk. That official forthwith
malls one cory to Governor Cleveland
and one to Secretary Of State Carr. The
third copies are collected by specially
sworn messengers, and brought TO Score
tary Of State Carr as soon as possible.
The law thus guards against the loss or
miscarriage Of single copy and the de-
lay it would cause. AS soon 40 he has
received the returns from all counties the
secretary Of state calls the state board OF
cAnvsssers together IN Albany, and II all
| returns have not been received by
November 18th he calls them together on
| that day and dispatches messengers TO
secure the missing county rsturnf. II
these are not returned within five days,
| the board reAssembles and oanvasBss all
the returns In its possession. The state
board Of eanvassers consists Of Secretary
/ Of State Carr, Comptroller Chaplin, At
torney General 0'Brien, Stats Treasurer
Maxwell, and State Engineer Sweet. Oh
these all but General Carr are Democrats.
In the very remote contingency that
majority OF them are not present, ther
Mayor Banks and Recorder Gould o.
Albany, become members Of the board
under the law.
The powers Of the state boaid Of can
vassers are somewhatvaguely expressed II
the statute, which reads "Upon suct
statements q. O., the Ger daed copies o
county returns filed with the secretary o
state), they shall then proceed to deter
mine and declare what persons have beef

that the board has any right to ''go be
hind the returns" although the wor'
"determiDe" Is, of course, somewha
vague. At all events manifest frauds II

Hon. GrOUer Clsvclaad-MY DEAR SIR /:
congratulate ytu aud the people of the

Presidency Of the United St4tes. You
owe souF election, in my Judgment, to
the fact that tie people believed yeu to
BIZ an honest mau and not 10 ny partition.
lar effort made by any faction Of either
the Democrat or the Republican party.
Independent men who care more for good
government than for parties OF in
dividuals have made you their choice
because they were convinced that your
administration would not be for the bsne-
fit OF any political organisation or favored
persons, but for the interest OF the whole
people. This is Just the result which ia
most desired. We have reached time
when party amounts to little. The coun-
try is above all, and 1t wants an honeBt
government by honest men. The belief
that we will find 1t in you has led to your
election. Yours, very truly,
