now CLRvELAND's MAJORITY WAS CUT
DOWN FROM $4,000 TO $4,000.

In the city POO, 900 votes were cast, with
q preponderance Of $4,000 in favor of
the Democracy. As this looks like
first rate majority, the superficial OBJ
servers who note that Cleveland had
$4,000 over Blaine on the vote stated
above will be apt TO suppose that all
was fair and right. But it was not.
The Democracy should have cast for
Cleveland 100000 votes at least for
the Comptroller, which is the only
clear party vote here in this election
shows about that proportion. Plummer
got as many votes as the Republican
party proper can cast. He received
53,926, and the other two candidates.,
Tammany and the County Democracy
show the total outside of that vote.
Tsmmany cast 76'973 and the County
Democracy S4,709. If we suppose that
eleven thousand citizens, independent
of party, voted for Koew--and more
would not be likely TO, this leaves for
the Democracy the figures above nam.

those Independent Republicans who
bolted Blaine, this would have given
Cleveland 10000 Instead of that, he
received tn this city only l33,443. His
vote was therefore nearly $4,000 short.
He received the y, 900 from the Repub.
lican Independents, which leaves him, in
fact, only 100000 Democratic votes
They went to Blaine for while the
straight Republican vote for a good
reputable Republican was only 6s,92G
BIaine's vote was s9,652. But Blaine
did not get the straight Republican
vote, lie did not get so large a vote

Perhaps good portion of those Inde

1.-THE Cleveland Gem"

GOV. Cleveland has received new
honor. His name has been attached
to the finest diamond ever cut in the
New World. Simon Dessau, the New
York diamond importer, on the day af-
ter election commenced cutting a very
large diamond, weighing 7S carats,
which will weigh forty to fifty carats
VIXEN finished 1t will be worth S40,-
600 to S5O,000 when cut Mr.. Dessau
has named it "The Cleveland GEN."
and as such it promises to become his,
torical, being the largest and most per-
feet gem ever cut on the American
Continent.
The stone was shown when partly
finished to Gov. Cleveland, who was
much pleased with the compliment 1t
will be sent to the New Orleans Expo
sition. This New Worlds Kohinoor
was found at the Cape of Good Hope
about eight years ago, and has been
owned by Euglish brokers until two
months ago, when Mr. Dessau bought
it. His intention was to cut it at
once, but the enthusiasm of his father,
ID. 5. Dessau, prevented it. The old
gentleman is an ardent supporter OF
Gov. Cleveland and he insisted it
should not be cut until after the cleo
ton. "If Cleveland is elected it snail
be called the Cleveland Gem" and II
was so agreed.

0leveland's Cabinet.
NO CREDKNCE NEED BE GIVEN To THOSE
NAMED BY VARIOUS NEWSPAPERS.

ALBANY, n. Y, Nov. ls.-It may be
positively stated that all the rumors
now in circulation with regard to Mr..
Cleveland's cabinet are the merest gos
sip. No man ever kept his official secrets
more closely. During his administra.
ton few of his appointments and i'm
portant official acts have been predict
ed before their public announcement,
and very often his closest political
friends had been as much in the dark
as the outside world Governor Cleve.
land keeps his own counsel well, He
moves cautiously and deliberately, but
when the decision is once made it is
quickly declared and generally meets
public approval. In selecting the men
who, as cabinet officers, are to shape
his administration at Washington aud
become his personal advisers, he will
adopt the same course. IL can be said
that the subject has not yet received
any serious thought from him, and will
not until he lays down the guberuato-
rial office. Cabinet makers, in prepar-
ing their states, should also bear in
mind that Governor Cleveland has a
fondness of men of ability, efficiency,
and honesty, who are not active seek
'ers for places, The cabinet, accord
angly, is likely to be genuine surprise
TO the country.
When he will resign the governor
ship is not positively known, but it is
YSobsble that he will retire not later than
January L. This will relieve him Of
the labor of preparing the annual mes
kage TO the legislature aud give him
time for rest and preparation for his
duties at Washington.

Debts Of the Campaign.
Nrw Yopk November is

NEW YoRK, November is.
There were rumors here this morn
ing that the Republican national com
mittec is heavily in debt and has not n
penny in the treasury. 1t is said that
the money is due to many persons. in.
cluding arrearages for rent. printing,
music, uniforms and other parapher-
MALTA of the campaign, aOd also in
ciudes money advanced by individuals
for missionary work in the interior of
the State. 1t is even said that the
dinner at Dclmonicos, like the famous
Dorsey dinner oi 1880. remains unpaid
for. None of the Republican commit
tee could be found this evening to
throw any light on the story of their
bankruptcy, but no Republicans could
DO found to deny it,
Said Dwight Lawrence "There is
no doubt that the national committee
is swamped in debt, hut | am not pre-.
pared to say that the sum is ~ large
as 100000 as is reported. We have
been beaten by two things-the Del
monico dinner and DR.. Burchard's
foolish speech.
Speaking of the curious fact that be-
fore the election, while Cleveland had
the call in the betting at 10 10 7 on
Kelly ,S Bliss books Blaine led on the
general result nj 10 tn = and 10 to 6,
when 1t was conceded that tn win
Blaine must have this State. one gen
tleman said at is easily explained.
The Democrats feel confident of the
State and the odds they offered seemed
based on good judgment. 1t was nee.
essary to counteract this effect | know
that the money piled into Kelly &
Bliss pool-room during the last week
of the campaign to keep up the odds
on Blaine on the general result came
from the Republican national commit
tee by the check of Chairman Jones
His losses in this way must hc some.
thing enormous, and there is no qucs.
ton in my mind that the claim put
forth on election night ;hat Blaine was
elected and afterwards maintained was
done 50 that Jones friends might
hedge out good part of their money"

RETRIBUTION.

The abuse that the Republican par
ty, from the defeated candidate down, are
heaping upon poor old DIR. Burchard
since the election, is unjust on their
part and undeserved on his part. True
it is that the Reverend gentleman made
a speech to Mr.. Blaine in the presence
of thousand clergymen brought to-
gether by the Republican managers for
the purpose of giving Blaine relig-
ious boost into the Presidency. True 1t
is that Burchard characterized the
Democratic party as the party of
"Rum, Romanism and Rebellion" an
alliterative appellation which MIR.
Blaine forgot to resent until three days
later, when he found it was beng used
to his disadvantage. And it is proba-
bly, true that this speech cost Blaine
many votes, aud may have done sutfi-
cient damage of itself to change the re-
suit of the election. But why should
DIR. Burchard be abused for uttering in
those three words the war cry of the
Republican party for twenty years
past For two decades or more the
opposition has called us the "whiskey
party" They have called us the party
of ignorance because the laboring
classes clung to US for protection
against monopolies. They have called
us the party of Romauism because the
Irish vote has been cast with the Dem
ocratic party. And they have attempt
ed to take to themselves all the glory
and all the credit of crushing the re-
bellion, and charged the Democracy
with being responsible for the attempt
ed secession of the Southern States.
Having never hesitated to charge all
these things upon the Democratic par
ty, why should Republicans curse DR..
Burchard for combining in three words
the leading and favori,e epithets which
for years they have been pleased TO
apply to the Democratic organizations
Dr. BurcharG, no doubt, believed that
by repeating these time-worn charges,
he would please the party that had
made use of them for 50 long time,
and therefore that party is responsible
for his intolerant utterarces. That
party taught him his lesson in bigotry
and name-calling, and now when he
stands up before his instructors and re-
peats what ne has learned in thei'
school, they turn upon him, aud tell
him he has opened his mouth and put
his foot in it. BY their sharp criticism
of his language they admit that his al
legation is false, and by this admission
they also ackno Wedge that the char.
ges which for years they have laid al
the door of the Democracy are false
because if DR.. Burchard did not tell the
truth. then his party has certainly beer
lying about us all along. But the day
of retribution came at last, and tn,
batteries that the Republican party ha,
been using against us with success fol
two decades, have been turned upor
them. Their falsehoods in regard L
rum, Romanism and rebellion are nov
acknowledged by themselves as untrue
and with fearful eyes they are forcec
to admit that the repetition of thei
ISLANDERS by the Reverend DR.. Burch
ard at An inopportune moment has cos
them the Presidency. Retrlbutive jus
tice is slow, but always sure.

How the President is Chosen.
TnE ELECTORAL SYSTEM, AND IN WHAT
MANNER THE COUNT Is MADE.

Technically speaking, the president
is not elected by the people, and the
people do not vote directly for any
presidential candidate. They cast their
ballots for electors, and these electors
choose president and a vice president,
In each state the number of electors is
equal TO the number of senators and
representatives which the state has in
congress. In New York there are
thirty.six electors. Each party has an
electoral ticket with the names of
these thirty.six electors printed on It,.
The electoral ticket which receives the
greatest number of popular ballots in
the State will be chosen by the people
aud the electors named on it will be
entitled to give their votes for the
candidate WHOM, they represent.
The electors who are chosen will
meet in each State on the first Wed
nesday in December and cast their
votes for president and vice. presi-
dent. As a matter OF law they can
then vote for whom they please. They
are not legally bound to vote for Cleve-
land or Blaine, or any other person
who was a candidate before the people.
As n matter of usage and public trust
they are expected to vote for the can.
didate whom they are pledged to sup
port
Certificates of the votes cast by the
electors in each state are then made
ont and sent to Washington. These
certificates will be opened in the pres
euce of the senate and house of ropre-
senlatives and counted on the second
Wednesday in February. The total
number of electoral votes is 40l. The
candidate for president receiving the
majority of these--that is, 20l--will
be declared president. If no person
has such majority, then the election
goes into the house of representatives,
which is required to choose a president
from the persons--not exceeding three
who have received the most elector-
al votes for president. In the house
the vote is by states, each state having
one vote.
