The Center OF the Struggle.

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-Great interest at
taches to the official count of the vote of New
York county for presidential electors. People
here feel that the eyes of the nation are
turned toward this city. The city ball has
become the last intrenchment of the friends
of Blaine, and every one who could spare
the time rushed to the aldermanic chamber
to witness the final struggle. The aldermen
realized the importance of the work before
them and the impatience and anxiety
of the people throughout the
county. They looked, accordingly like
men who had prepared themselves for long
DAYS work. They came in time, but the
crowd had come earlier and blocked the hall
and doorways. At 10 o'clock the crush was
so great that it was very difficult to force a
passage within the railing.
An imposing array of lawyers pleaded with
nolicemen to escort them through the dense
mass of spectators, and they were soon
seated at the outer semi-circle of desks.
They represented the national and state
com mittees of both parties, and even Ben
Butler had a legal representative, who
came to show cause why hundreds
of votes which were cast for the
man from Lowell should be counted. The
struggle for seats within the railing caused
such confusion that nearly all the aldermen
had to stand. The lawyers kept coming till
they had occupied nearly all the desks and

Chairman Barnum Talks.

icpcCial lcteErAn 10 the GlODc.I
NEw YORK, Nov. 12.-When ex-senator
VIM. II. Barnum, chairman OF the national
Democratic committee, was told Of the pro-
posed contest in this city and Kings county
he smiled. That's all right" said he.
"that's all right There won I be any con-
test in either Of them. We propose to have
the votes counted as they are cast, and as
they are cast Gov. Cleveland is elected.''
''Wbat steps have the committee taken
70 counteract any move of the Republicans,
senatorl
''Well, we have employed lawyers, led BY
Roscoe Conkling, aud are prepared in every
legal sense To fight them. Any move they
make will be promptly met. We have an-
ticipated every thing they could do, and
know just what steps to take.''
'Il is said by some Democrats that mis-
take has been made in securing the services
of ex-senator Conkling, Republican, and
in permitting Alderman Waite, Republican
also, to be president Of the board Of can
vassers."
eff Gov. Cleveland has been elected-and
he has been and can't be defeated-then it Is
over, after Gov. Cleveland is In his
seat, then IL we have made any blunder
let it be told, but that's all right There's no
blunder about the election of Gov Cleve-
land" And the clear-headed manager Of the
canvass for the Democrats smiled more
broadly than before.
''The committee knew aud knows now
what It is doing" at Is also remarked,
senator, that Mr.. Conkling win be returned
to the senate by combination OF Inde
pendent Republicans and the Democratic
members of the legislature"
81 don't think that Roscoe Conkling wants
to go there" repiiad Senator Barnum, shak-
ing his head. ''He worked for many years
in politics and was poor man. At his pro-
fession now ne is making money. 1 think
that he would be very unwise to 90 back to
the United States senate again. l don't be-
lieve that he would care to CO."

ALBANY, N. Y, Nov. 12-No one here
now seems to doubt but that Cleveland has
received a small plurality of the votes cast in
New York state at the late election. The
only question that remains is whether or
not they will be counted for him, and that is
a horse of entirely different color 1t is true
that the official canvass of fifty three out of
the sixty counties in the state has been now
completed, and the only difference shown
from the first figures that gave Cleveland
1924 plurality is six, and that is in his favor,
but New York and Kings counties remain
officially undetermined, and there the
Democrats are looking for trouble
That the Republicans have organized
scheme whereby they hope to count the state
for Blaine there is no doubt, and to-day the
GLOBE correspondent was enabled to learn
the full particulars Of it. The law of the
state of New York regarding the canvass of
the votes is very explicit, and one Of its pro-
visions is as follows:
The board of state canyassers shall meet
in the Office of the secretary of state on the
Wednesday next after the third Monday in
November after each election. or
sooner if all the certified copies of
the statements Of the county canvassers
shall have been received from all the coun-
ties, to canvass the votes given for electors
of president and vice president, and in case
all the certified statements shall not have
been received on that day, the board may
adjourn from day to day until the same shall
have been received, not exceeding Eve days,
and IL at the expiration of four days the GER
tilted copies of the statements of county can
yassers shall not have been received from
any county, the board shall proceed upon
such of the said return statements as shall
have been received.
According to tbs reading of the above law
the state board of canvasers must meet upon
next Wednesday, the 18th, and they cannot
adjourn longer than until the oath. Now it
is clearly evident that the canvass Of New
York, which gave Cleveland over As, 600
plurality, will not be finished before the lat
ter date, and with those votes thrown out
Blaine would easily carry the state. They
put the construction upon the law that any
county that is not in by Nov. "a cannot be
counted, and thus hope to keep New York
out of the returns.
That construction was put upon 1t to-day
by Secretary of State Carr, a member of the
state canvassing board and a Republican,
when he said to the GLOBE correspondent:
II the counties are not all in by that date
we have to go ahead and canvass without
them, and declare whatever result we may
find.
When the attention of Gov. Cleveland was
drawn to the question he said that the un-
derstandingof the law was that the board
was TO ''proceed," that is to-day, to begin
the canvass but that it need not declare the
result until 1t had heard from all the
counties.
Dan Manning said; "We VIII get an order
from the supreme court compelling the
county cnnvassers TO be in time. They can

Making Cleveland a Cabinet.
lspecia: Telegram to the Globe.

WAsHISeToS, Nov. 12.-The Star, in its
gossip. continues to speculate on the prob
abilities of President Elect CleveIand's cab
inet. 1t says Democrat who has not fixed
upa cabinet for Cleveland is rarity. Many
OF them have taken the trouble to write out
the names OF their proposed cabinet appoint
ments with about all the formalitv that would
be necessary in submitting them 10 the
senate for confirmation. In all the confusion
of names and preferences two conflicting
ideas show out prominently. One is enter
tanned by a class 'Dyed-in-the-woor Demo-
Gratis, who insist that under the new admin
istration none but tried and unwavering
Democrats shall be put on guard. The other
class insist that the Democrats owe their sue
cess to the Independent Republicans, and
that the letter must be recognized. Those
in favor of having the Independents repre-
sentrd in the cabinet seem to be largely in
the majority and almost without exception.
Mr.. Schurz is named as the proper represen-
tttive Of that element.
very prominent Democrat, who served
some years in the senate, in talking OF this
phase of the cabinet question, expressed the
general etuIucul OA iuOoc WHO MAINTAIN
that the Independents must be recognized
He said: 'sThis Is not Democratic victory.
1t could not have been won by the Demo-
crats alone. We owe the election Of Cleve-
land and Hendricks 70 the Independent Re-
publieans, and every rule of honesty and
fair play demand their recognition.
Nothing would be more unpop-
ular than for us TO proceed upon the assump-
ton that it was q straight Democratic
victory. Now, as TO the suggestion that the
acceptance Of position under Cleveland by
prominent Independents, would subject
the latter to the suspicion Of having made a
bargain, or the other suggestion that Curtis,
Schurz and their associates stin
profess TO be Republicans, and therefore
could not consistently go into Democratic
administration. With all that, we, as Dem
ocrats, have nothing to do Our duty is to
offer them fitting recognition Of their ser
vices, and II they decide TO declineit then we
viii be at liberty to go ahead aud select
none but Democrats for position It would

ents and reformers who made the fight with
