RICHMOND. NOVEMBER 90, 1875
TIE .NhW YU1K ELECTION.
The New York Amer can viii excuse us for
pr.Grrriug the testimony of the Albany Argus
To It's own. The Argus quotes chapter and
verse-arranges the counties into regular re-
publican Ticket and the" opposition licket"-
ana states theircs,it in each county. Not so, |
the American III gives no systematic views of
the eiec'ion--claims county here aud there |
or denies to alr. Crawford The vote of "A few
others. |
TIL" American affects 10 claim a majority |!
for MI. A.. because they are disposed to give
the choice of Electors tn the peonls.-B But how |
is even this ascertaned? And admit that such |
Us their determination, is this conclusive
proof of their OVID predictions for any can
didate Virginia votes in this way. The Yer
mont Legislature hut the. other day re-
Jecled bill for giving the choice 10 the peo-
ple-Georgia has come to similar concIu-
sion. The Que is for Mr.. A.--the other for
Mr. Crawford. The fact proves nothing one
way or the other. In certain parts of n. York
we find both the enemies and the friends of
Crawford supporting the change.
But the point of view in which the election
IN ~ Y. strikes us is this that IA vast majo-
rity OF the regularly nominated republicans has
heen returned to the Legislature thus show
ing That N. York has no inclination TO desert
the old modes Denominations She will ABIDE
by the nomination of the candidate of the re-
publican party. Her state elections prove this
her interest guarantees it. She will never con
sent to send the election 10 the III. of II if her
union can arrest it. Her republicans would
| rather waive any little preference they NAV
have for particular candidate, than merge
her proportion of influence in choice by the
II. of R.-The same sentiment displays itself
in Pennsylvania. Without concert among
The Republicans, Shulze would have failed.
The principle, therefore, of nominations, never
had more weight in New York and Pennsyl-
wanna. than at this moment.
The following are the reflections oft Al
bany Argus on the late election:
THE ELECTION.
Inc result al the late election truly gratifying 10
the republicans of the state, aud will he attended
with important consequences TO the body potic
throughout The union. Notwithstanding the unexam-
pied, though secret efforts of federalism, 10 break
down The regular nominations, by uniting in support
nj the opposition and self-nomnsied tickets, every
county, except where some local causes brought
TO bear upoA the question, the republican party has
proudly triumphed
For 80 signal victory The omen efforts ofdis
content, and the covert, aud herefore dangerous dr.
Signs of faction, we ought he devomy thank
full and we cherish the hope that the dangers to
which the Democratic party has been subjected by
i-advsed opposition tie part Of some of is mem
hers, to the system OF rcgG'ar nominations, will he

Had the hand OF federalism been copspcuous in THE
beginning oil tins contest, there he doubt thai

ardent republicans, who have suffered themselves To

persisted IN measures likely 10 favor the schemes of
