Thus you have calculations on behalf of tic
two parties, and may Judge from the County
which you know best what the general result will
be. We gladly court the test
With all Difference to our Loco FRIEND we thinl
we could have made more probable Statement
for his side. Take the County of Washingtc"
for instance We estimate it at 1900; III,
Standard puts it 1000 for Clay. Now III:
County gave Harrison 2,O47 majority in 10, anc
even in AZ gave Bradlsh l,076-lhe difference
being made by Wing falling off of 9o3, and Il
Loco. Foco decrease of IL votes. This is the way
our opponents make their gains. Does any ma,'
imagine that the vote this Fall will be nearer that
of '42 than that of '40l We arc confident j,
will be greater, aud that the Wing majority wall
be higher than our estimate. Whoever believe;
that Washington Will give only 1000 Tor Clay,
may well believe that the State will give Polk
$4,000.
Take ST. Laurence In 1910, this County
gave 4,903 for Harrison, 4,75l for Van Buren, :
In 1912 ii gave 1854 for Bouck and 1919 for
Bradish-l, 545 Van Buren, majority. Here is all
apparent gain of 1897 to our opponents, while
they had really increased their vote only ll3
and tho highest vote they ever got III the County
only exceeds our highest vote by 81 votes. Ana
yet our facetious contemporary talks of ], 500 70
Polk Now we shall give at least as many votes
for Clay as we did for Harrison we think more
Our estimate allows Polk 800 majority in st.
Lawrence, but il we had to bet way or the
other, we would bet that he will not get 300.
Then think of OtSego-elways a strong Tariff
County, largely interested in Wool-glowns, and
whose Member Of Congress has been constrained
to vote with the Wings against every attempt 10
break down the Tariff. In tins county Mr.. Van
Buren, has always enjoyed strong personal popn
larity, having represented 1t IN the Convention 10
revise the State CONSTITUTIONS though living
hundred miles away. Mr. Van Buren, had more
personal strength here than in any other county
in the Union; and We, he obtained but IA MA
lorty here in 1910, when he had by far the high.
est vote ever given 10 any body in the County.
And vet the Standard CLAIMS Fourteen Hundred
here pwice Van Buren's majority for Polk, who
is VIGOROUSLY anti Tariff, in favor oi taxing Tea
and Coffee in order 10 admit Wool free OF duty,
the Debt OF Texas-Tweniy.two Millions in
amount. Does any man believe that Polk can
pc, 1,4O0 in Oisego2 We gave him 800, in
Difference to old results; but We mean TO record
majority for Clay in Otsego on the 9Th of No
vember next.
So of the State generally. The Wing party
polled for Con. Harrison in 30 no less than
925,sl7 votes; the largest vote erer polled by
our opponents was under 2l7 ,0O0-dltfcIence
about 5000 When Mr.. Polk can overbslance
that, and have $4,000 extra, We shall doubtless
know it-but it won't be TINS year.
There are several Counties which will do bet
ter for Clay than our es,imate-Albany is one
Montgomery another; Yates we think third
Only let those who believe Wing victory essen.
tial to the Nations prosperity take hold and WORK
for it, and we shall have more than 10000 ma.
jonry for Clay.
