are busily endeavoring to create the i'm.
preston that the wings have lost ground 10
this state since the last election. The
very reverse Of this is the fact. The Al.
bany Daily Advertiser, Of Monday. contains
The official canvass, by which it appears
that the wing majority is but a fraction
less than four thousand. Last year it wac
about 10000. 1t appears however that
there is falling off of about 5000 in Tho
aggregate vote, and that the wing msjori-
les are uniformly main, aimed IN those dc.
tricts that have given a foil vote, and re-
duced in those that have fallen off in The
aggregate.
''lt will be observed (says the Adver,iser,) ths,
the total vote has fallen short OF that of last year
by 1856, and that ii has decreased in six of the
eight Senate Districts. In the Bird and 9Th, where
unquesonably The election was mos, closely con-
tested, The vote this year slightly exceeds that of
the last. In the Third. The Wing. have gained
exactly Two hundred and fifty upon the vote of 1898
and The Loco Focos EIGHTEEN. The PRINCIPAL
falling off is in the old Eighth District, where the
great strength Of the Wings lies, and where, Of
even ordinary exerlion. Thus The Wing, poled
last year 27.927 votes, and this year ouly 2l,927.
No one prelends to doubt, however, that our &C.
:ual majority here is now as great as ever. OF
course, with fall vote this year, the popular ma.
jority would have been bu, little shor, of The last
There are one or two facts which 60, indeed
TO show that The Wings have gained strength since
the election of '3S. We have already said tina,
the Third District was The scene OF The warmes,
contest, and here we have gained 222 votes on an
increased poll Onondaga was another hard fought
field. In 1888 we had 10 ma ory in that county.
now, with an increased poll, we have 246. In
Oneida, TOO, this years aggregate is greater by 500
than that of The last. and the Wing gain abo",
equal 10 this additional vote. la Ca,tarausui the
vote has increased about GO and The Wing gain is
l49. In Broome The vote has increased 300, and
The why gain is As. In Clinton The vote has in.
creased about so, and The Wing gain is 1874 In
Essex the vote has increased so, and the Wing
gain is 49, In Franklin the vote has incr eased IL,
and the wing gam is 20. In Kings the vote has
increased nearly 400, and the wbis gain is l5.-
In Lewis the vote has increa ed about so, and tho
wing gain is 2l7 In Saratoga the vole has in.
creased about 40, and the wing gain is As. Ia
Sullivan The vote has increased As, and the Wing
gain is 40. In Tioga the vote has increased abou,
so, and the wing gain is l3S. Indeed, with Tho
exception OF one or Two counties (as Chenango and
Ailegany,) where local prejudices Injured our State

wing majority, the resul, presents This conclusive
proof of our great strength in the Sta'e. pS In
almost erery county where there has been an in.
creased vote there has been corresponding
Whig gain. Mile on the contrary the Loco

fall
We are enabled, therefore, 10 say with
confidence that the Wing party has gained
in the recent election, wherever The contest
wasa severe one--and that the aggregate
