The Aibdny ErenlRg Journal, after quoting the
Express's charges agains, Gov. Seward proceeds
to show by actual returns the Abolition vote OF the
several Counties of our State in 1910. '43 and ~

worthy of remark that in fourteen OF the twenty
Counties referred TO by the Express a. having been
injured by Gov SEWARD. there was in 1874 a
dimRished Abolition vote. The rcrerse of the
accusation OF the Express therefore, shows the

CLAY, a Stakeholder, they could work more eiioc'u

fuel their fires required In four months after the
nomination. in the Fall of si2. they swelled their
vote from 2799 to 1862. And IN lsi3. 10 the amaze
men of all parties the official canvass shows an Alb
clifton vote in this State of 1928 This exceeded
by e7oO the - 900 majority which Gen HARRISON
received in ls40.
The campaign of lsi4 opened, as ia seen with an
Abolition vote of 49, 900 against And this. in Il
great degree, was occasioned by premature nom

tionists before the battle fairly commenced had

fresh and strong before the People without an Army

The Brney vote " OF 1913, against which he
had 10 contend instead Of increasing, as is alleged
in the year ls4i, was held in check In the coun-

the Birney vote experienced a dlminution OF
nearly ONE THOUSAND. And let il be noted aud re-

campaign of ls4f the Abolition bail was stopped, IN
