NEW YORK. Oct. 3l.-In order TO meet

confidently expected that by this means
the result will be ascertained so that 1t
can be communicated to the public at
much earlier hour than it has ever
been done before, and so that
figures may be given completely
in the journals OF the Associated
Press the next morning. When we re-
member that there are 5l2 election pre-
cincts IN this city, and that the figures Of
each are canVassed separately, the magni-
tude of the labor and the minuteness of
the care requisite to determine at once
the aRgre ate and mBjnritIes of the whole
metropolis can be appreciated by the
public. We trust, however. that we shall
be able on Wednesday morning TO furnish
tie news earlier and more perfectly than
it has ever been done before.
