Conkling. who said: at seems quite
obviouS that the State Of New York has
appointed electors favorable to Clcvc-
and and Hendricks, and the sooner the
fact is accepted the better. it seems t.
me, 1t will be for tGc whole country. In
this city, AMI King county. there seems
no reason to upprchcud u seriuus diff.
Guilty or question about the number o.
votes given to the Presidential tickt Is.
That number is already known far and
wide. Az to wnts Of ]mnndnmus or ether
extraordinary proceedings. | cannot dis
cover any need or excuse Cor them nor
any Justification for Il prolonged hagglc

The Post declares Tnmmnny's power
gone forever. The braves will never
be in a position to knife another Demo
cratic Presidential candidate as they
knitted Cleveland. The homes, people
OF tbs city have gained possession Of
the municipal government and are not
going to let it slip back to the thieves
again. There is 40 chance for Tam
many % get n shorc OF the "spuils' dur.
ing the next two years.

tee show that in the next House OF Rci.-
rcscutatiyos the Democrats vii! hayc
ls3 members and the Republicans IL.
a Democrats majority Of fctty.onc. A..
ready the question Of the organization
Of the next House is being discussed.

Ninth Congress than they have in the
present Cunglcss. OF the forty.ouc
Democrats who voted to strike ont the

That the tariff question will come on
again i'll the next Congress. Carlisle. 1t
Is said will certainly be- Speaker, and
OF course put Morrison at the head OF
the Ways and Means Committee. Ran
