THE DUTCHESS CONSPIRACY.

The hearing in the Duchess County contempt
case before Judge Cullen was completed yestcr-
day, with the exception that briefs upon the
law are to be submitted on Saturday. Senator
Hill did not testify, but made statement TO
Colonel Bliss, which went upon the court records,
with the same effect as if he had gone on the
witncss-stand. This statement docs not seriously
change the situation, except that it rather in
creases the load thrown upon Judge Maynard
and brings the Board Of State CanvaSscrs and
the individual members Of that Board to the
front in their violation Of law.
The law requires returns TO be sent to the
Governor the Controller and the Secretary Of
State for the purpose of being laid by them be-
fore the State Canvasscrs. The Supreme Court
was engaged for two or three weeks in en-
deavoring TO get tho returns 50 forwarded, hav-
ing made repeated orders that they should be
forwarded forthwith" and plant Judges hay
ing as often interpOsed stay Finally there
were a few hours during which no stay existed,
and County Clerk Emans, under the reluctant
advice Of counsel, sent the returns by mail He
Immediately followed them to Albany and went
to the Governor whose duty it was to keep the
returns received by him and send them to the
about it," Mr.. Hill by his own admission re-
fened the whole question to Mr. Maynard, the
Deputy Attorney 81 cneral, who advised Emans
to get the returns back Under some mysterious
influence a boy messenger in the Governors
Office and hitherto responsible Secretary OF
State surrendered the returns to Mr.. Emans.
There seems to have been fear that the Con-
trolers office might not be 50 easily managed,
and Maynard himself went and got the returns
from that Office and delivered them to Emans.
Thus the man who was not only the law officer
Of the State, but who is declared by Governor
Hill To have been the special legal adviser OF
the Board Of State CanvaSseIs not only by his
advice, but by his active intcrpositiOn, prevented
the Board from getting the correct returns OF
the election, and then under his advice the
Board counted the returns which the Supreme
Court had declared to be false and incorrect on
the pretence that they knew Of no other re-
Turns. Maynard was correctly described on the
witness stand yesterday by Mr.. Hinckley, the
Democratic Editor of The Poughkeepsie News, =
when he said he advised Emans to go to Albany
TO consult MAYNARD " the counsel of the Demo-
Gratis" Maynard's promotion to the bench of the
Court of Appeals is only a small reward for the
infamy Of his conduct. We suppose it is i'm
possible to indict him in the Democratic county
of Albany but the attempt ought to be made
and we are net sure that it would be impossible
for the General Term Of the Supreme Court to
discipline him for misconduct as an attorney.
Will not some one who has an interest in the
reputation of our State and It's judiciary look into
this matter?
Ii is, after all, a matter of little Importance
whether the poor tool, Storm Emans. shall now

MEANING or THE LOCAL ELECTIONS.
The people of the State OF NewIOrk will not
condOne crimes against the ballot-box. That Is
the meaning of the results Of the elections which
were held on Tuesday in number of the coun-
ties Hill, Murphy Maynard, the members OF
the State Board of Canvassers and the rest OF the
gang which put through the seat-stealing in
fanny may well tremble as they examine these
telltale returns For the figures demonstrate
that the people execrate them. In nearly every
county that has been heard from the Repub-
licans have made decided gains. The next
Board of Supervisors of OnOndaga will be over
whelmingly Republican. The present Board
stands Republicans H. Democrats Is. OF the
10 towns which voted on Tuesday the Re-
pubIicans carried all but "A gain of over
last year. The next Board of Supervisors of
Tioga will contain Republicans and l Dem
ocrat The present beard contains Repub-
licans and 4 Democrats. The Democracy OF
BrOome has been put to rout, and no mistake
The next Common Council of Binghamton will
contain 10 Republicans and Democrats. Tho
present Council contains Republicans and
Democrats. In the same city the Republicans
have elected of their 13 candidates for super
visos. There are only IA Republicans IN the
present Board of Broome, while in the next one,
according to present appearances, there Will DO
more than 20. In Steuben Democratic ma
jority of in the Board of Supervisors is con
verted into Republican majority Of 16. The
Republicans have also made gains in Chcnango,
Cortland, Hcrkimer, Montgomery, Seneca, Tomp-
kins. Franklin and Washington, and even in that
most trustworthy of Democratic strongholds,
Schoharie while in the other counties, with an
occasional exception, they would seem at least to
have held their own.
The outcome of these elections in OnOndaga
and Cortland and in Stcuben and Chemung are
especially noteworthy and gratifying. For in
these counties the Hill seat-sealing gang got IN
their fine work. Onondaga and Cortland com
pose the XXVth Senate District, and the ma
icrity of the electors of the district voted Tor
Mr.. Peck, the Republican candidate for Sen
ator. Nevertheless to his Democratic com
np,itor. Mr. Nichols was awarded the seat. Now
the majority Of the electors Of Onondaga and
Cortland embracing the first opportunity TO do
so, rebuke this outrage. SO in the XXVllth
Senate District, of which Chemung and Steuben
are a part The seat of that district is now
occupied by Democrat, Walker, although he
was defeated by plurality Of nearly LOO
votes The falr-minded men of Steuben and
Chemung took pains on Tuesday to prove what
they think of this shameless assault upon the
will of the majority.
Do you think it paid, Senator Hill? DO you
think it palc1, Judge Maynard, of-Heaven save
the mark-the Court of Appeals? You thought
at the time that you had done an immense ser
vice fer the Democracy by putting up and put
ting through the seat-stealing job. What do
YOU think now? Take a good look at these
returns and then answer.

Ex-Governor Hills scheme to disfranchisc
rural voters by passing law compelling them
to register personally is arousing strong opposi-
ton among the farmers. The State Grange has
adopted emphatic resolutions in opposition to
such law. They ought to prove specially in.
bercsting TO Governor Flower, who is something

ever for such law. Its purpose is too plain to
be disguised The conditions in the country

required in the former.

chester County Grand Jury, which has spent
considerable time in making an Investigation.
The Indictment is for rnnslaughter in the second
degree. Not satisfied with this, the Grand Jury
visits censure on the railroad company for not
having provided the block system and on the
station-agent at Hastings for neglect OF pre-
cautionary measures. The jury has done its
duty Now we trust that the Distrct-Attoney
Of Westchester will be equally jealous in doing
his.
