A guesa as to what will be the result of eluction iu Nnw York may te considerad extra-hazardous. Purties are in a grenter denioralized oondition than has been known in twonty yoars. The state is Democratie naturnlly, and were there no bolt a precTicfion could safely be made asto who will be her next goveixor. John Kelly will reeeivo a large vote perhaps 20,000 in the metropolis; in Albany, Syracnse aud Oswego and in other localities along tlie canals where reside men who havo been hurt by the Tilden-Robinson economio policy, Bome strength will be exhibited. Away from these localities of state patronage north and south of the Erie, few votes will be oast for him. Kelly may receive 35,000 or 40,000 in the_state. Will that loss of votes elect Cornell V It is by no ineans oertain. Thousands of Bepublicans disgusted with hia nomination, the dictum of Conklitig, will ■vote for Eobinson. To counterbalance the 40,000 Democratie votes thrown for Kelly 20,000 Eepublicans, an average of 300 to each county, must vote for Eobinson. This is a large estímate but aone too large if some advices can be depended upon. An unknowu element that polled 70,000 thousand votes last fal', the Greenbackers, Bhould be considered. Their oandidate is also the candidato of the Farmers' Alliance, a body possessing no especial streügth. Lewis ís ultra and will poli littlo or nothingbeyonda light ■ote, the highest estímate given being 10,000. This party having gone to pieess whfire will the 60,000 remaining voters go ? Muoh the larger share will be given to Kobinson, return to the party from whence it carne. Considering that Tilden carried the state by 53,000 ín 1874 against John ADix, stronger by 30,000 votes than Coruell ís now ; and tlie further fact that Eobinson ís equally as strong if not stronger that was bis predecessor, there are good grounds for believíng in his re-election notwithstanding the bolt of boss Kelly. This paper has noticed the faot that Sen. Grant, upon leaching the Pacific coast, foreswore henceforth the use oí' intoxicating liquors. It observes siso that ïn response to a farewell banquet in San Francisco the Gun. said : "I shall at least meet one and aü of you elsewhere, and if it should not be in. thia life, thatitmay be in thobetter country.'' As the end of lile is nearing the General perceives the necassity of a change from his old habits of intemperance, and, by his remark, indicates he is not without thought concerniug the fathoniless future. So long as he keeps on in this way there ia hope that he will yet become a good man personally if not politically. That the Greenback organization is to be eliininated henceforth from the list of parties needs no more or better pioof than the light vote polled by it in Ohio. Piatt, its oandidRte for goveinor receivod a little over 9,ÜU0 votes against 38 ..■ x-„t.o rAii„ ;„ itö t„ Tinit; of prort„oe and manufactures, laborera otteining employmont, the excellent outlook u all department. „„. „ a„ Btroy the party that has thriven upon the miufortuneB uttending the country aincs the panic of 1873. The editorial pretender of our rag baby contemporary now begging for patronage, said, at a gathering of publishers at Lansing, in January last, that the " Press ought to ise above and live without party patronage." What has brought about this great change in the mind of " our rising statesman" who, but a little while ago was unable to spend his daily ineome, and didn't want any pap to prop his orgaa that was started to m-ake hiui governor, congressman, or aomething? The couuty oonveiitions of the varioua parties n New York city have placed full tickets in the field, preparatory to the great eontest of Tuosday next. It is difficult to make a sensible predietion as to the rosult with the split in the Democratie ranks. The bolt will draw out an unusual heavy poll which ■will give the state ticket except its head a heavy majority. The Republicana ■will iniprove the opportunity by making a strong effurt to olect their county tieket. Genesee county is rapidly obtaining a reputation as the murderers' paradise. Before Matt Pitch the Goodrich slayer of h8 wife and daughter was safely locked in jail beyond reach of threateniag, lynching; pursuers, George Rinehart of Flint was shot through the heart, dying iostaatly, by Wm. Withara of ugly disposition and quarrelsome oharacter. The murdered man leaves a iarg family unprovided for. In New Haren, Conn., llev. Mr. Hayden is on trial charged with poisoning bis wife. An oxamination of Mrs. H.'s tomach reveáis eighty-six grains of arsenio, equal to a teaspoonful and twenty times the amounfc necessary to kill. The trial attracts wide spread attention both from the past high standing of the acoused and distinguished cuemists, experts, summoned to testify to the power of the drug. Gov. Robinson stands little chance of election now. Thestrong-mindedladies met iu convention at Poughkeepsie oue day last week and resolved to oppose him because he vetoed the bill giving woinen the right to becoine members of School boards. Archibshop Puroell's creditors, some of whom are very poor were violent in their demonstratious the other day, threatening to take the life of a priest' in ohargo of his mattera if they were not paid. Tohave tnade the Brooklyn gathering, ftddressed by Conkling and Beeoher, complete, Elizaboth Tilton and Kate Chase Bprague ought to have oecupied prominent positions upon tho platfoim.
