To-day tho vote of each county of tho
state Of New York will be canvassed by
Che persons and in tho manner pre-
scribed by law. Both Of the great parties
have arranged to he represented be coun-
sci in all the counties. 1t may be relied
upon that all proceedings had will be
jealously scrutinizcd. This is as ii should
be, for it will lend weight and authority
to the decision Of the boards, and satisfy
the people as to the fairness aud legality
of their acts. Each precinct return will
be scrutinized, and If found to bc
in conformity with tho law Of
the state will bo recorded in ac-
cordance with its face. If any returns
arc invalid under the terms of tho state
law they will no doubt he rejected as is
done in canvassinr the returns of every
election held in New York. When the
county boards have finished their labors
the result in each county will be given to
the world, and must stand. Not until
then will any man know whether Blaine
or Cleveland has carried New York. AT.
ter that all men will know which of the
two candidates has the only right to its
electoral vote. In the meantime all good
citizens will be patient and prepared to
cheerfully bow to the lawful declaration
of tho result, whether it runs with their
wishes or contrary to them.

A Possible Cabinet.

II Mr.. Cleveland is elocted-which Is
yet matter of grave doubt--ho will have
been chosen by 1853 electoral votes from
tho "solid SOUTH" a fact which our demo-
cratic contemporaries, for some purpose
best known to themselves, keep constantly
before our eyes aud exult over most
unanimously. He needs, therefore, but
IS votes from northern states to secure
control of the government. although If
New York is counted in his favor he will
have 2l9. AS matter of fact then, three
fourths Of the votes necessary for his
election come from southern states, and
rs matter of fairness three -fourths of the
favOrs no will havo to bestow will be de-
manded and should perhaps be givon to
this section. 1t will be difficult for Mr..
Cleveland to divide his seven cabinet
officers in this ratio as ee-fourths
would be a small fraction more than five
and larger fraction less than six. He
can, however, make things even by ap-
pointing tho lesser number and disbursiug
the lesser fayors with q more generous
hand.
Tho south will undoubtedly demand
tho appointment of those it most warmly
admiros and highly honors. How, then,
