The New York Morning 1agertiSer,
Monday, labored industriously with
the official figures OF the recent Presi-
dental election, in an effort to show
that Mr. Cleveland will be minority
President, and therefore not the choice
Of the people Of the country. The I'D,
UGrtiScy'S method of arriving at this con-
clusion is to take the 5,1S5,02S votes
cast for the Harrison electors and add
10 them the 1,350,079 votes cast for the
Populist, Prohibition and scattering
candidates, thus making a total Of
6,544,l07 votes cast in opposition to
Cleveland. This computation, how
ever, is based on the assumption that
every one of the l,359,010 persons who
voted for neither Harrison nor Cleyo-
land would have voted for the former
had it not been for the scattering can
didates whom they preferred to either
Of the leading contestants. But the
foolishness of this assumption is appar-
ent, and for all reasonable purposes Of
estimate, it can very properly be as
sumed that had it not been for the in.
dependent candidates these 1,359,U10
voters would have divided their suf-
fragcs about equally between Cleveland
and Harrison. An equal division would
have resulted in 6,233O99 votes for the
Cleveland electors and $685. 500 votes
in favor of Harrison, clear majority
for the Cleveland electors of 36f $50.
There is very little profit in this after
election arrangement or iugglery Of
figures, in order to explain away defeat,
but it serves to DISPOSE Of such silly at
tempts as that Of the Adeertiser to prove
Mr.. Cleveland a minority President,
after such an overwhelming popular
verdict in his favor and in endorsement
of the principles represented by his
candidacy as was given by the people Of
this country last November.

XIII Them Both ="

This was DR. Willard Springer's ad-
vice respecting the two coroners' physi-
clan bills which rival aspirants for
appointment had brought before this
General Assembly. And the General
Assembly took the advice. 1t killed
them both.
II was very proper thing to do. The
existing system, which leaves this
appointment with the Trustees Of the
Poor, has been working satisfactorily.
Nobody came to the Legislature with
demand for change SO long as the
Democrats had the poor board. There
had been no public demand for a
change; there is none now-outside of
the place-hunters and their immediate
friends. And the business OF the Gen
eral Assembly is to legislate for the
public interests--not to make places for
individual Democrats.
There are two other measures before
this General Assembly to which the
same advice should apply. Both have
passed the House and are now in the
Senate. These are the Coal Oil Inspec-
tors bill-wc say inspectors" not Gin
spection," because its manifest purpose
is partisan rather than public-and the
bill striking out the five years qualitica.
