"THE SOBER SECOND THOUGHT OF THE PEOPLE"
"= Van Buren,.
In 1886, the people Of the State Of New York
"thought' VIM. L. Marcy and Martin Van Buren,
were the men hest calculated to promote the honor
and interest Of the State and Nation and they gave
to them their suffrages BY majority Of 5000. In
1888, their {" second dsought' convinced Them they
were wrong-that they had erred-and they directly
passed their verdict against the former by 10000
jorty and indirectly the latter by the same vote.
They in 1896 howght" they would choose 80 ofthe
40 Congressmen-in 1888, their sober second thot
convinced them that they then voted against their
own honor and interest, and they have reversed
their decision in thirteen Of the aforesaid instances
The cities on The HudsOn.-New-York at the late
election gave average Wing majority Of about 1900
Albany 64O-Troy 57O-Poughkeepsie 41o.
Duchess County has given about 600 majority for a
Wing Congressman. LrTcHrnLD COUNTY ranges side
by side with her in terrtory-shal she not in the race
for the public good? She can next spring give an
equal majority-and when TRUMAN SMITH or some
other rue-hearted Wing is nominated. if the proper
freemen, shall it not he done ..s
What will our good.natured friends say now-those
who have for the last two weeks been proclaiming
that had bet CPS with Dutchess Co. man. 80 with
somebody else, IS with another, and so on, on tho
election of Mr.. Seward, and were 60 very apprehen-
sive that the Enquirer would have to stop in conse-
quence ofthe loss Of our means carry on? Does it

amounts? Did they guess better than we to the
result when they tantazing with further offers
of bets? Now that the election is over, and we shall
win all that did stake, we would inform them that
the whole amount will not reach X dollars. The
second thought" Of the intelligent people has pre-
vailed and our best hopes are realized
1t is amusing to look over some Of the loco papers Of
this State, and see what accounts they give of the
New York election. Thus the New Haven Register
of Saturday-by the bye, decidedly the most monda-
cous and lying print in the State-gves statements
from New York, Kings, Queens, Westchester, Rich
mond, Rockand, Duchess. and Herkimer, and says,
these are the only counties from which any thing
like certain returns have yet been received'-thus
passing over Ulster Albany, Rensselaer,, Schenecta
dy, and Saratoga, from which returns had been re-
ceived, and which were published in the Palladium
Of the dafc get the strong loco county Of
Herkimer, where the returns were more imperfect
than from either Of the other. 1t then says ifihe
other counties have done any thing like as well, we
(locos) have carried the State" We do not believe
that on Friday evening, in New Haven, uhe time
that paper is made up,) another intelligent individual
in the city would have hazarded such an assertion.
