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- HE HEALTHFUL AND NUTRI TIOUS BAKING POWDER restores to the Sour, the strength-giving phos phates thk* are removed with rhe bran, and whten are required in the system.

White, Mil! < IJ > ni 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. H.C. WHIT . FROM John xirliii. M. 0..
