visions have been made by the
health officials for the treatment

believed have passed the critical
period and are now nearing conva-
lesence. The remainder Of the
crew are healthy and the vessel was
found to be in an excellent santa

from Havana seven days ago with
a clean bill Of health for this port.

ALBANY, n. Y, November 2O.-Dsputy
County Clerk II. s. Beatte arrived here at
noon to-day with the official declaration of
the vote Of New York county. County
Clerk Cornelius n Hart Gaze on the came
train with the corrected returns ofRichmond
county. They Immediately fled their state
meuts with the Secretary of State. The
other counties in which clerical errors were
made in transmitting the official vote for
the Presidential electors were heard from
and no changes we're needed. Ex-senator
Conking visited the Secretary Of States
Office at p. m. and after glancing at the
prepared tabular statement by counties,
went away. When the State Board of Can
vassers reconvened at tour o'clock, the mem.
bers were all present. The board was not in
session more than twenty minutes. The
members proceeded in the most simple and
business ike way. There were no lawyers to
bother them about technical points and even
Gen. Carr seemed anxious to hasten the
action that would finally result in annsunc-
ing that the electoral vote of the State
would be cast for Cleveland and Hendricks.
1t was found. however, that the official tab
ulation footing up and completion, IS the
votes i'll the sixty counties would not be
ready until tomorrow and another
adjournment until tomorrow az noon
was taken, when the official declara
/ ton will be made. Before ad-
/ iouruing the canvsssers, on motion Of At
torney General o. Brien, decided to allow
Blaine forty-seyen votes in township in De
laware county The Blaine electors names
were printed on blue paper and there was
no Endorsement on the ballots. County
Clerk Hart, OF Richmond county, app Jared
before the board and handed in corrected
return on Presidential electors. He pre-
sented the original declaration which
was neatly and legally made out
Tie mistake was in copying the state
ment sent here, the names of two Butler
electors having been omitted. The Asso
ciated Press reports on Wednesday nigh
led people throughout the United States tc
believe that grave errors in the vote o
Richmond county had been discovered
which might affect the result. Deputy Sec
retary of State Woods semi-oficially an
nounces that, from an examination of thu
returns in his possession, OI'endNrfer. wit

The requirements Of the Presidency never
had a more careful and earnest student
than Grover Cleveland viii prove. The
duties of the Office never received more
diligent and industrious attention than ne
will give them. The scrupulous adhesion
f. his promises to tie people which ne
showed as Mayor and has shown as Gov
eruor he will show as President. If one set OF
nromises can be said to be more binding than
another, they should be such rs relate to
the observance Of all existing REFORMS and
to the efectuation of al needed and prom
ised reforms in the manning and manage
ment of the general public service and IN
its absolute divorcement from partisan die
tation, partisan rewards, partisan punish
ments and partisan activities. The people
of this country are resolved that the bnsi-
ness of the General Government shall he
done on business principles. The sooner
politicians of the minor and TRADITIONAL
type understand that the wiser they Will be-
Tie sooner they understand that Grover
cleveland is at one with the peo-
ME in that resolve the wiser they will be.
Politicians with any claim 10 be considered
statesmen are aware Of the fact already,
both with regard to the people and the
Presidentelect. And it may be of assistance
to curious or prophesying sonls to be as
sured that any conception OF reforms as
good things for balls TO catch votes with and
then as good things to fling away or forget
when power is obtained Is utterly foreign to
the mind Of the President-eleet. He is rs
single and sincere as he is determined, and
his determination has never been question
ed BY friend or foe.
A positive, Industrious frugal and re-
forming administration is certain. One
prudent and truly American in its policy
can be relied on. One which will consult
capacity, honesty and loyalty to the con-
stitution in its election Of agents can conf
IDENTIFY be expected. Ii is not compll-
mentsry fact that q people, which has
founded and expanded the Union and made
all men free and voters, find the pSoblems oi
business service and honest elections I'M
solved after nearly eenture of organized
government The solution of those prob
lens as related to one another as cause and
eject are, wiz be the purpose Of the mex
administration.

Refusing to Entertain Temperance Ladies
Out of Malice.
HARTFORD, November 20.-The detection
of the prohibitionists from the Republican
party in Connecticut, to which the victory
for Cleveland in this State is largely sttrib-
atable, has resulted in the expression by the
Republicans of a great deal ofbitterness to-
ward their former allies. Clergymen who
were prominent in the prohibition move
ment have felt the lash Of the Republican
pillars of their churches in Norwich and
several other places, and forced designations
are threatened in more than one instance.
Republicans who have heretofore aided the
temperance movement are extremely bitter
against all temperance workers.
.. An Example in Middletown.
Middletown furnishes special illustra-
lion of petty spite of this character. The
Women's Christian Temperance Union is
70 hold its annual convention there this
week. The local committee to provide &C.
eommodations for the delegates consists OF
,wo ladies Of strong Republican proclivites.
During the past month they had made ar
rangements with many Republican families
10 receive the delegates but since the cleo
rionthey have been notified, in nearly every
instance, that the offer Of hospitality is
withdrawn. This placed the committee in
an embarrassing position, but Mayor North
rop and other prominent Democrats have
ccme to the rescue, and will keep open
house for the delegates, The affair has
created perfect tempest in a teapot IN
Niddletown
