New York's vote does not always
decide the election of presidents.
Grant did not need it in 1858 or 1872.
Ttlden had it in 1873, and a majority

4,284,S 85, Hayes, 4,O33,9 5O,) but he
failed to reach the white house. Gar
field could not have been elected with

have been defeated without it in 1884.

rapidity with which it evaporates.
The object of DR.. Aldrich's visit was

gated by them and number of wells
and total number of acres supplied by
them. These gentlemen we're pleasant
