THE LEGAL OUTLOOK.
■ NOW York Herald: It is a fact
known beyond doubt or cavil that
a plurality of the votes cast in this
state last.Tyesday for Presidential
electors was cast tor the electoral
ticket in favor of Grover Cleveland.
Every ballot has been counted
by the local election officers charg
ed. with the duty and sworn to per
form it. Their returns have been
officially declared and filed in the
various districts and counties
tbrciuglibut the state. They have
been carefully footed up and the
aggregate announced by several in
dependent and trnstworth agencies,
including those that are hostile to
Governor Cleveland as well as
those that are unbiased. They all
agree in the one result—that a de
cisive plurality of the popular vote
of the stale has been cast tor Cleve
land electors.
The various county canvassing
boards meet to-day. Thar duty is
plain and simple. It is merely to
canvass the returns filed with them
by the local officers—to count
them, ascertaining the aggregate
and make a statement of the result
in each county.’’ Copies of these
statements are then to be transmit
ted tb Albany, to be in turn can-,
vasaed bj the board cyf rrfsce canvass
ers. In other words the duty of
the county canvassers is simply to
record the will of the people as ex
pressed at the ballot-box and shown
by the local election returns. If-
they are not hindered nor interfer-
red with by outside meddlers in
the dischaige of their duty, if they
are allowed to perform it lawfully
and regularly, there can be no
doubt that the result which they
will reach and report must confirm
that already , to and accepted by
the public—namely, that Grover
Cleveland has carried the state of
New York by a decisive plurality.
Mr. James G. Blaine, his aiders
and abettors, do not propose to ac
cept tins result They threaten
that the win of the people as ex
pressed^ the polls shall not be as
certained, declared and recorded by
the regular forms mid the regular
mode prescribed by laW. In plain
language!, they " are plotring and
conspiring . to defeat , the popular
will and (teal the electoral vote of
the greatest state in the Union. Mr,
William M. Evarts and Hr. George
Bliss, who me hot inexperienced ip
questionable proceedings of this
kind, are the paid attorneys employ
ed to take charge of the claimant’s
desperate case. The plea 'of fraud
is to be advanced, and on this pre
text an pttepipt; is to. be made to
count Cleveland out and Blaine> in.
Have Blaine and Elkins, Evarts
and Bliss, stopped to consider what
must be t^e ineyitable. result of . a
contest oh tins issue?, The vote of
the state as actually cast is, as we
have shown, in favor of Governor
Cleveland!' But if no fraudulent and
illegal ballots had been cast for
Blaine, Governor.Cleveland would
bavecarried the state by at least
fifty thousand plurality, and if only
legf 1 ballots are to bje Runted his
now conceded, plurality of twelve
hundred or,.so must swell to at
least twenty-five thousand.
It is a notorious fact that by the
most shameful and corrupt trading
there were secured for Blaine , in
this city not fewer than from twen
. ty-five to thirty thousand votes that
rightly belonged to GoveThbr CleveJ
land, and that would Eave gone to
him had,they been' honestjy cast.
These democratic yotes were se-
• cored for Blaine in return for repub-

TESTIMONY:
ProfH C. White,

Uni vkrsity of Geo gia,
Chemical Laboratory,'
Office of State Chemist,
Athens, Ga., June 20, 1884.
I have been familiar for a number of
years with the general character of Prof-
Horsford’s phosphatic perjmrations. Re
cent examinations made by me of the
“Acid Phosphate” and “Bread Prepara
tion,” show them to be exactly what is
claimed for them In the circulars acorn-
panying the packages. The “Acid
Phosphate” is a concentrated solution in
water of “Acid Phosphiite of Lime. The
“Bread Preparation” is a mixture of Acid
Phosphate of Lime, carbonate of soda
and flour. When mixed with water, car
bonic acid gas is liberated and a. double
phosphate of lime and soda is formed
and remains in the bread when baked.
Yn-OTxMnarj nxBin oi tartar baking pow
ders the substance left in the bread after
“raising” is rochelle salts—a double
tartrate of soda and potash. The phos
phates are useful uvneral substances in
animal nutrition and growth, the tartra-
s are not.
In my opinion, the l’h. , l.aric Pow-
di r is, therefore, prefeialil*- »•* the others,
so far as healthfulness is concerned.
