HALE's VoTE The freesoil vote
all over the country has fallen of ire
mendously, and is anything but a
compliment to Hale IN his own
State, where his partisans thought ne
was going to make such a heavy run
upon the Democratic vote, he has
only about two-thirds as many votes
as disparity cast in March, In every
other New England State his vote IS
full third less than his party cast
lin 1S48. In New York, where the
freesoilers cast about $4,000 IN
l1S4S, Hale has only about 10000,

over Hale and Scott In Pennsyl-
yania, where the freesoil vote in 1878
was over l 900, Hale has only a.
bout $500, and Gen. Pierce has a
large majority over federalism, and
freesoilism and nativeism combined.

, the freesoil vote in Ohio and Michi-
gan and other Western States where
Hale's "eloquence'' was to do so
much. His whole vote probably viii

=, one-half as many as his party cast i'll
