THE ELECTION.

At the present writing it is not definitely
settled who is TO be the next President.
New York will settle tho question and
only the official count will determine it.
II is certain that the election in that state
is very close and there will not probably
be 1000 difference in the vote for Blaine
and Cleveland. This is total vote OF
ever 1000, 900 is certainly remarkable.
81. Jehn will have rs, 900 in the state and
Butler $1,000 so that Cleveland will lack
40, 900 Of majority ia that state. Before
the election the independent Republicans
claimed thst $1,000 Republicans in the
state would not vote for Blaine and the
greater portion Of them would vote for
Cleveland. Probably 10000 Of them did
vote for Cleveland, but the number was
more than offset by the number Of Demo
cratic workingmen who voted for Blaine.
II 10 admitted on al sides that nearly all Of
the 1000 st. Jshn men we're Republicans.
We are sorry the vote in that state 10 so
close for the reason that it gives both
parties an opportunity to cry fraud and
may leave doubt as TO whether the vote
Was justly counted and declared. For our
own part We only hope that the candi date
who did actually receive the most votes
will be declared elected. II Cleveland
has only maj ority Of one vote, il honest
" cast aud counted. be is AS much emit
tied to il as though it were 10000, and the
same thing is true Of Blaine.
II is claimed by Republicans with con.
siderable show Of truth that In several
Southera ststes 1t is impossible to get an
honest vote and have il honestly counted
II the same could be truely said Of North
srn states we should certainly despair OF
the stability ofour government.
In regard to the vote Of New York state
the Democrats at first claimed it by GO. 000.
and long after they must have known it to
have been exceedingly close but before
they could have known the exact truth
they claimed it for c,rtuipiy and Ia
windy proclsmaiions declared iha, they
we're not going TO be cheated out OF IL,
They claia-d that ths Western Union
Telegraph Go. had couspired against
them, whom IL fact the President OF the
company. DR. Green, and several Of the
pronisent directors are Democrats.
They also clsi@ed that the nssoci,ted press
agents ~sre holding hack the retnrus and
altering them IL the interest Of The Re
psbiicsns, which ~ss equally false. 10
fact they made such uswsnantable claims
that people began TO suspect Il to be
cover for disrepuiable proceeding on their
part, and the pas, hrtory Of the party in
The state gave additional color to tie
suspicion

The MstAsds Of Casvassing the vsts II

NeW y Sk.
I The laws In New York provide that shs
vote 10 each polling district shall b
eonnisd by four inspectors Of election
who oil ont . certificate Of the result o
the count and seal il up and transmit IL 4
the csusty clerk On the Tuesday fol
lowing the election the supervisors Of escl
county meet and canvass thcse certificates
and forward the result TO the Secretary o
State ct Albany. and On the 18th Of thiI
month the secretary Of state and othel
minor state officers will meet and add
together the vote as shown by the csrti6
Gates Of the county supervisors and the
persons shown to have the most voter
will receive certificates Of their having
been chosen electors.
The board Of supervisors in each county
can oaly correct clerical errors, bat an eel
Of the legislature expressly conisrs upon
the supreme court. whenever il shall ap.
pear BY affidavit that errors have occurred
10 tho determination OF the board Of osua.
~ canvassers. the power 10 require the
board TO correct such errors; and il the
board has dissolved it can be forced 10
convene anew, and the corrected state.
ment under the order Of the court stands
in lieu OF tho original statement. The
New York SIM, the ablsst anti Cleveland
paper in the country, states these facts
and says:
1T follows, therefore. that while the
state canvassers cannet he directly con.
trollsd by the courts, any error Of the
county canvsssers can, on satisfactory
proof, be corrected by order Of the su.
preme court. The accuracy Of return
would therefore. in cases OF doubt, DO
tested before any justice Of the supreme
court sitting in the district where it is
believed the error has occurred.
'As recently as 1874 the court OF ap-
peals held that while the certificate Of the
proper officers is pstma .fdcie evidence Of
election to a public Office, yet the certiH.
cate and the returns upon which it 10
based are open to inquiry; and the return
OF election officers may be set aside by the
courts when necessary to promote the ends
OF justice.
1t will thus be seen that the laws Of the
state carefully guard against fraud and
the cry Of the Democratic papers that
attempts will be made 10 count them out
Is purely bosh. The most that can be
done by either party is to prevent fraud il
it should be attempted, bnt the unani.
nous fraud cry by the Democratic papers
raises the suspicion that it is uttered for
The purpose Of covering up fraud Oh their
part. The Republicans have only assert
ID that they want fair play and this they
ire bound to have let the result be which
way it may.

The official count in New York statt
which will, in all probability, decide thu
Presidential contest, is watched with I
great deal Of interest. Beth parties have
engaged the best legal talent to watch the
count in nearly every county. Especially
in New York and Kings counties the
watch is close by both sides and any
attempt to cheat or cover up cheating
already perpetrated viii most likely
be detected. On Tuesday the first day Of
the canvass by the county supervisors,
thirty-three counties completed their
labors aud the result did not vary mate
rally from the figures before given. II
the remaining twenty seven counties show
q like result Cleveland will have small
plurality. OF course the counties where
there is no contest would get through
first, and the result in those counties
would be first reported.
There is report that in localities in
the state large numbers Of men have made
affidavit that they voted the Butler ticket,
where the returns show that these votes
we're not counted for Butler, and as the
Butler and Cleveland ballots we're OF the
same size and same paper, and tho 2epub-
lican ballots were little larger and on
different paper the inference is that these
votes were counted for Cleveland either
by mistake or design. How much truth
there is to this report, and whether. il true,
any advantage can be taken Of the fact
1t is not impossible that cases may arise
where the aid Of the courts may be re-
quired which may take some time to de-
eide. We hope the party that Is honestly
