The control of the legislature of New York,
perhaps for the future well as the present,
turning on the decision of the contested seats
in the senate, both parties agreed to leave the
matter to the court of appeals and abide by the
result. There were four cases. The court.
composed of a majority Of democrats, has de-
cided the matterin such manner as to insure
through the action of the democratic board OF
canvassers, democratic majority. Without
going into detail it is well to say that the ques-
lions were chiefly technical In the 10th dis
trict the point was mainly the iaitializing in
stead of spelling ont the Christian name of the
republican candidate, and he is TO have the
certificate. In another case-the 18th district
where printers quad on the republican ticket
had shown on the tickets and those votes were re-
jected the court suggested that the canvassers
should await another return In still another
district (the 25th) ballots sent to wrong
polling places were thrown out by the
canvassers as defective and action in awarding
the certificate to the democrat is indirectly
confirmed by the court. The contest in the
twenty-seventh district was decided by voiding
the election of the republican. who lad an I'M
disputed majority Of 600, on the constitutional
ground that he held at the time of the election
a state office. But the decision did not give
the certificate to his democratic opponent.
new election ought to be provided IN this in
stance. The democrats will take a technical
advantage Of the quad case and possibly of the
one in the twenty-seventh district, and this.
with the one decided squarely in their favor,
will give them two or three seats, or two seats
with an election ordered perhaps at a day too
late for the organization of the legislature, the
equivalent Of a third seat This is sufficien.
without the seat awarded to the republicans;
indeed, with the lieutenant governor, vote it
would suffice with only the two votes which
the democrats secure under the decision. But
the board of canvassers having referred the
matter Of the seat for the twenty-seventh dis
trict to the senate, that body will probably adj
NIT the democrat Democratic control of all
branches Of the state government means a re-
districting that is expected to perpetuate that
partys supremacy in New York

1t is hoped that the Post Office Departmeu.

1t is hoped that the Post Office Department
and the supervising architect will promptly
come to an agreement in respect to the minor
changes in the plan of the new city post Office
suggested by the former, and that there will be
no further delay in the approval Of the design
and in the contract letting for the new struc-
ture. This is the proper time fer the suggestion
Of improvements in lighting, ventilation, &C.,
and the post Office OF the capital ought to be a
model in all respects. but Washington appeals
to the post Office authorities not to
davdle over the matter, wasting valu-
able time, but to decide quickly as
well as intelligently upon these questions
Of detail, and to cease to retard beyond the
point of absolute necessity the work of con-
struction. Washington, whose post Office hopes
have been long deferred begrudges every min
ute Of unnecessary postponenieH.. For this
reason especially there is nc favorable public
response to the suggestion that part of ID
street be included within the post Office site,
and the building lines be brought out to the
avenue. Architectural ard other objections
are made TO the proposed change. but the con-
sideration which influences Washir g.on is the
thought that thework of designing must be begun
anew. that congressional legislation grantAg
the use Of ID street must be secured and that
the enlargement of the building will be accom-
panied by an increase of cost which will pre-
vent the erection OF a granite structure of
the required height within the limits of the
appropriation and compel an appeal for
more money to Congress commit
ted to policy of retrenchment. In
the months required for the accomplishment of
these things. if they were secured at all, not
a stroke of work could be done in actual con-
s:ruction- The city would sit idly with hands
folded. while the question of the local post
Office, being reopened in Congress by its own
snwise act. might be finally determined after |
long delay in a manner that would unsettle and |
overthrow all tina. had been accomplished. |
Washington will not initiate the dog which |
dropped into the river the bone between its |
teeth in order to snap at the apparently larger |
bone reflected in the water. The post Office |
potentially within its grasp is handsome, ad- |
mirably arranged, and highly creditable struc- |
ture. The capital does not greedily demand |
more. but it does ask that everybody hustle |
like the energetic supervising architect in /
pushing forward the work Of building the post |
office which was pictured in yesterdays STAR.
