Not since the Harrison campaign OF 1910 has
there been any thing like the Juror of excitement
that exists in this State at the present PERIOD and
should not be surprised to see 81 600 votes polled
on Monday next.
There are no questions of State policy before the
people, and no movement has been made by Cover
Cleveland to affect disposition except recon-
mendation to repeal the law imposing what is call
ed "the poll tax" which is levied on every person
in the State entitled to receive vote unless he per-
forms military duty In addition to this, tax is
also levied on all personal property well as real
estate. The farmers generally object to the repeal
of the poll tax, as the consequence would be the i'm
position of additional tax real estate to support
the administration of government On the other
hand the repeal is supported quite ardenty by me-
chanics and single men in the popuous towns This
question will therefore be about balanced. Some
little feeling has been attempted against Cleveland
on account Of his shelter to Dorr, of Rhode Island,
but it will not amount to much.
The contest may BIZ fairly considered as turning
entirely upon national policy, the battle cry Tor
the whgis Is &c Baldwin and Clay"-for the demo-
Gratis, 'Cleveland and Democracy;" and the aboll-
tionists, "Silleth and abolition" The wing party
teciive SYSTEM" while the democrats generally
| fight shy, but are busy circulating Woodbury's
| speeches." and &c Plebeian tracts" which are as
anti-tarff as free trade can make them The inie-
tain the wing ticket; and its effect is already felt In
| many changes among those who voted for the de-
mocratic candidates at the last election
The result of the election for State Representa-
tives is made important from two facts-hrst, that
one and perhaps two, United States Senators are
| to be chosen and, in case a Governor is not cho-
sen by the people thatimportaat duty also devoyes
upon them. The principle of State representation
lie alc late tn adj
ing of parties, as, for instance, the town OF New
| Haven, with a population OF over 1900, has bun
two representatives In Assembly, while, under the
apportonment, other towns with not one fourth the
population, are entitled to the same number Each
| town is entitled to one representative, but none
more than two. Thus it will be seen that, what
orly test Of the actual political complexion of the
| State will be from the vote for Governor.
| The question of the annexation of Texas has
| also been brought into the canvass The wing.
| avow open opposition to the measure, the objec
of which is to endeavor to draw off the Abolition
vote, so as to secure majority IN the Legislature
to elect United States Senator. In tact, 81
lar has this movement extended, that have
been informed this morning that secret under
| standing is supposed to exist, or at leas
a profier has been made by the prominent wire
Iect man for United States Senator who will
| openly avow hostility to annexation of Texas, i
they will ''sack up their efforts and show thu
wings a chance for success. Should such be tn
/
| majority. But, as Richie says, 'lows uerrons.
Much feeling is exhibited here among the proml
nent and active friends of Henry Clay, relative t.
| the course of the wing party in New York city OF
| The new question of "native Amercanism
has not been indocirinated in this State yet, Blu
| he recent withdrawal of all opposition of tn,
| vhig press of New York has induced many at
distance to believe that the wing party about t
| mite with the ''natives' on some of the cand
iates or throw part of their vote for Harper, fo
| Mayor, in order to obtain possession OF the cit,
| md then claim share of the victory The lead
| ing wings here, as before stated, are in muci
| ,larm at this movement, they say II /
such should prove to be the result it will certainly
cause the defeat of Clay, the democratic pres
throughout the Union will announce the fact as al
| !amgamation OF the two parties, and thus induc'
thousands and tens Of thousands OF the adopted
citizens of the far West and genial South to go al
lengths to defeat the candidate of any party thu
| oined against them in the proscrlptive crusade
There appears to be much in this single question t
induce the wing party of New York city, in thu
election for charter officers, to be careful what the
do, and how they do it,
have looked in vain to find any remnant or trac
of the Tyler party, but find that the wings hay
dominated Daniel p. Tyler as their candidate TO
| Secretary.
shall attend large wing and also democrat
ic meeting tonight, and give you full particular
of every movement tomorrow. In great haste.
