has very rarely appeared in any Journal We pro-
coed to answer them seriaf'm
l. We do not know " politician Of THE TRTB-
USE school, who is not working for GEORGE
OPDKYE. and will not vote for him. Possibly two
or three such may be bullied and wheeded into
signing the Havemeyer entreaty now hawked from
door to door but we sure that not Six Republican
readers of The TRIBUNE in our whole City viii vote
for Fernando Wood And if even one does 80, he
will do it in defiance of our most earnest wish aud
remonstrance. Wood has no shadow of claim to
q single Republican vote-he is the deadly enemy
of our principles and our party-he never writes a
political letter nor makes speech that is not sur
charged with Misrepresentation aud abuse Of Re-
publicanism. If any Republican thinks of voting
for Wood We beg him to join the Sham-Democracy
at once, and never again pretend to be Repub
lcan. But we don't believe be can get hundred
Republican votes in the whole City.
ii. THE TRIBUNE was openly, earnestly, actively
in favor of Mr.. Opdyke's nomination for Senator.
Even after Mr.. ManieTre was nominated, we tried
to have him withdrawn, in the hope that Mr..
Opdyke might even then, be nominated and elected.
And we don't believe any Of our " school opposed
BIN, for any such reason as the Tammauy libel
intimates. We supported him then on purpose to
have him elected, just as we do now.
ILL., We do not know that " the full Republican
"vote, on a party line does not exceed 20,0OO"
On the contrary, we believe there are to-day
rs, 900 Republican voters in our City; and We
trying to bring them all to the polls in support
Of Mr.. Opdyke
w. We know Of no bargain" by any Republi-
cans or others, to give Wood even forty Republican
votes, much less 1900; and, il any one has made
such bargain, he will come a great way short of
fulfilling it. The goods utterly refuse to be de-
liyered. But there can be no such bargain.
V. Mr.. Opdyke's vOte-now that the Americans
have come to his aid-will greatly exceed $4,000, if
Hayemeyer receives no more Republican votes than
Wood does. Our only danger is that the drowning
faction at Tammany Hall will beg votes enough
away from us to put Opdyks behind Wood. If
they will just let ne alone, we will get them out of
their dileprna by beating Wood and Havemeyer
together. Every vote they snatch from us now is
taken TO their own detriment. Hands of!

We learn that the agents Of the Tammany party
have succeeded in persuading few Republicans IN
the neghborhood of Wall street to sign call COM
hitting themselves to the support of Hayemeyer.
Apart from the fact that they thus abandon their
Republican principles and league themselves with
the deadly foes and caumniatOrs of heirparty these
gentlemen are under monstrous deusion. They
suppose that Havemeyer can beat Wood. That IS
a great mistake. The next Mayor will either be
Wood or Opdyke; and the Republicans who vote
for Havemeyer may, IN the event of Woods cleo
ton, console themselves with the reflection that
they have helped to accomplish that result.

We nr,ni IN anorn.,sr column the affidavit OF Mr.
s. Lee Perkins. of No. 189We.t Eighteenth street,
gentleman of character and standing and an en-
gineer by profession, who has some statements 10
make with regard to Mr. Hayemeyer, tne present
Tsmmany candidate for Mayor. Mr.. Perkins says
that in the Winter Of 1876, during the pan,
which then prevailed, he waited on Mr.. Have
meyer to induce him to sign a call for public
meeting to consider the possibility and the means of
relieving the distress of the working classes, and
Mr.. Hayemeyer refused, on the ground that the
suferings of the wOrkingmen were altogether their
own faults and that instead of wearing good
clothes, mechanics and their wives ought to dress
in tow cloth, &c. According to Mr. Perkins, this
was said in a naughty and purse-proud manner,
which was more offensive than even the substance
of the remarks.
We publish this affidavit because it is brought
to us by highly respectable parties who de-
sire to have the facts made known, but not be-
cause we attribute to it any important bearing on
the question of the Mayorslty. Nobody has ever
advocated the cause of Mr.. Havemeyer on the
ground that he is very benevolent man, or one
much influenced by charitable sympathies, or one
remarkable for manners and speech Of gentle
courtesy. Those are not qualities which are 80
necessary in Mayor as decision, in6e1ibilty, and
sternness of purpose. Our own objections to Mr..
Hayemeyer are of different character. We re-
sist his election because he is a renegade Free
Soiler because he is the representative of Tam
many Hall, which urges his election as necessary
to the success of It's faction of the Democratic
party and the defeat Of the Republicans in the
Presidential contest of next year, because, having
refused to stand as the Peoples candidate two years
ago. he is now ready to serve as the standard-bearer
of Isaiah Rynders, Jim Irving, Tom. Byrnes, Pro
fame Bell & Co.; because he counts among his next
friends politically such men as Oliver Charlick,
Richard #. Compton, and GershOm Cohen; and,
finally, because lie is the weakest of the anti-Wood
candidates, and because every vote for him is et-
fectively vote in favor of Wood. If Others choo'e
to oppose him for pezonal reasons, we have only TO
say that that is branch Of the subject which we
do not propose TO dwell upon.

MIR. oppYKR AND rnE TRIBUNE.

The Tammany wireworkers, who make The ": Y.
TINES the conduit of their daily ISLANDERS, in their
last issue, assert that
1.-The fact is, that 0pdyke is the candidate marked
out for sacrifice by every politician of THE TRIBUNE
school. He made himself obnoxious last year in the
Legislature to the Albany and West Washington Mar
ket tribe OF Republican wre-pulers, and they lately
defeated him for the Senatorial nomination in his own
district where he rain Of election only 10 kill
him OIL more eiectually in December by making HIM
the wooden horse out Of whose belly the corrupt Re-
publcans in favor of Wood to leap al the proper
moment in this Mayoralty contest. These men know
very well that the full Republican OF the city,
PARTY hne does not exceed 20 OOO and Of this they
also Enow--none better, for they parties 10 the
bargap--that the machine pote in the Republican
ranks amounting 10 $500 1000, viii BE- cast for
Wood a. the man. in al points Of view, most useful 70
tie West Washington Market operators. Thus, at the
outside supposing that every independent and honest
man n the habit Of voting the Republican ticket should
vote for George 0pdyke, that gentemsns total vote
could not exceed l6OOo-ust about enough drawn of
from Havemeyer TO give the needful aid 70 WoodT

Mr.. JAMES Y WATKINS, who has been placed
the Fourth District embracing portions ofthe Nlth

us for quarter of century as an mysterious, In
telIgent, useful citizen, of unmpeachabo integrity
and moral worth. Though never till now can

assiduity have made New-York what she IS The
District is hard one, but Mr. Watkins has troops
of personal friends in it, and we are not without
hopes of his election. We beg every good citizen
of the District TO do his utmost to secure that re-
suit. We warrant them never to regret it.

If there is any member of the Wing party IN thlS
City who regards it as his duty to cast his vote for
Mr.. Ogden on Tuesday next, in order to express
his political convictions at the ballot-box we shall
not attempt to bully him or to seduce hi1' into
different course of action. Every act Of honest
obedience to political principle is worthy OF re-
spect; and it is not only the right but the duty
of each citizen to vote as his conscience Dictates
But if there are any Wings who think that the pres
ervation of the City from the rule of Fernando
Wood may properly be put before considerations
connected with National politics. We earnestly
appeal to them TO follow the lead OF the American
Convention and vote for Mr. OPDYKE. He alone
has such mass of answering supporters, that with
the help of a few independent voters his election

The friends of Havemeyer and Tiden devote
good deal of space in The N. T. Times to an eabOr-
ate attack on Mr. SolomOnL. Hull the Republican
candidate for Corporation Counsel. Among other
things they allege that THE TRIBUNE has described
Mr.. Hull as a new Ward-politician in this city,
"but little known outside Republican headquarters,
:" and not favorably known even to the limited
extent of his recognition
We know well TO what straits political despera-
ton viii lead men; but, considering that Messrs.
Havemeyer and Tilden claim to represent great
amount of respectabxty, We must say that they
ought, for their own sakes, to keep within bounds
This statement respecting THE TRIBUNE and
Mr. Hull is falsehood.
Mr.. Hull has resided in this city some FIVE Of SIX
years, and has gained very extensive business as
lawyer. Several very heavy mercantile houses n-
trust him with the management of their legal affairs;
and, though We have not known him personally
until the present time we suppose there is no one
among the younger generation CT our lawyers in
large business, who has more or more ardent
friends. He was presented for the nomination by
the Ninth Ward, one Of the strongest Republican
sections of the city; and that he is man of re-
markable energy and talent we can voueh.
Some scandalous stories have been industriously
put in circulation here against Mr. Hull by prom
inent Democratic politician. We have investigated
them and they appear to have no foundation ex-
eept personal or political luminosity. Let no Re-
publican withhold his vote from Mr.. Hull on &c
count of such imputations which at any rate
ought not to weigh against years of known honora'
bic activity and of steady and consistent service IN
the Republican cause.

The ~ Y Times broadly asserts that it has
10, eco more Daily subscribers than THE TRIBUNE.
This is comparison which we have not courted;
but we believe our Daily circulation larger than
that of The Times, aud we consider the advertis-
ing public entitled 70 know the truth on the sub
ject. We propose, therefore, that the Pressmen
respectively of the two journals shall state on oath
the actual number of copies of each journal printed
during each day of the current month and that the
two statements shall appear together under the
editorial head of each journal respectively tomor-
row. Does The Times aceede to this proposition :

Several Virginia military companies passed through
Washington this morning their way to Charlestown.

applications for arms.
Judge Watts, who is direct from New-Mexico, says

The Navy Department has received dispatches from
Commander Porter giving full particulars OF his re-

Even the Tammany men will now admit that
Mr.. Opdyke will receive 90 600 Republican votes
Add 10 these the votes Of the Americans and the
Peoples party, which at low estimate will be
6, 600 more, and We have aggregate of 26O0O
which can without exaggeration be counted on
Is any eoe so deluded as to suppose Haveneysr
can reach that numberl He cannot come within
5,OOO Of it, by any sort of arithmetic with which
we are familiar The only candidate who has the
means OF beating Opdyke is Wood; and he can do
il only By the withdrawal from our candidate to
Havemeyer of large number not only OF Repuoh-
can and American supporters, but of those inae-
pendent voters belonging to no party on whom We
have right to count. But we confidently trust

The American Stayoraty Convention, at its ad-
journed meeting on Monday night, reconsidered the
nomination of Mr.. OsoSsn, which they had made
on q previous evening, and then dominated GEORGE
OPDYKE. This is judciouA and every way iaud-
able termination of their labors. Ii shows that the
masses of the American party, A'me e'oVo strong
perceive the folly of running candidate whose
only use will be to draw off votes from opdyke' auh
thus secure the election of Wood. Accordingly
their Convention have Abandoned that error and
have formally adopted Mr.. Opdyke as tber NOM
inee. They may be assured that there will be no
Tiemannizizg in Mr.. Opdykes administration; and
that in distributing the patronage of the Office he
will duly consider the claims Of every section ct his
supporters Certainly the public would have DO
occasion for sorrow if the places of such men as Jim
Irving, Tom Bynes, johnny Austin, and the like,
were filed by respectable citizens of the American
party

In 1858 it cost the city but 81, 1888 to teach
9.3I3 pupils in the Evening Schools, or 81 93 per
scholar. Last year, with 1878 scholars-less
than twice as many-the expenses were nearly
four times as great, $50, 79l, SO % per scholar
The larger number might have been educated with
much greater economy than the smaller, but had
the cost per scholar remained the same, the city
would have saved in the item Of Evening Schools
alone. S334ls, or 81 per cent of the amount ex-
pended.
In the light of these figures let every man see
to it that on Tuesday next he votes for the right
men for School Officers. Never mind party nomi-
nations; elect the best men.

The n. T. Times, which at first said that the
Republicans we're pretending to support Opdyke in
order TO insure Woods election, now admits that
- there are many Republicans who think Mr.. OPP
Ike may be elected by the division in the Demo-
cratic ranks. and that voting for him is the
'.surest way of defeating Wood Right, neigh
Dor And there are not only many Republicans"
who think thus, but the Americans have come to the
same conclusion, and all who are not blind are be-
ginning TO see TO- Wait till after next Tuesday,

He xood last night delivered himself at the Cooper ln

p,rons Of HE and aspirations in CONGESTION with the
Chief Magistracy Of New-fork-"
1t is such prepOsterous trash as this which is
fast drifting our City upon the perils and disasters
Of Wood administration. Everybody who was
near the Wood meeting knows that it was at least
ten times as large as The Times here represents it
that il was one of the greatest political gatherings
ever held in our City. The truth is, Wood is the
natural chief and favorite of the b'hoys," who
constitute the voting mass of the Democrats of our
CITY. His Democratic opponents figure quite re-
specially in a secret Tammany conventicle or par
lor of the Fifth Avenue Hotel, but make sorry
figure at the polls The real nucleus of opposition
to his sway is formed by the Republican party and
organization, which furnished the great majority
of the votes which beat him two years ago. Let
those who really mean to beat him rally upon
GEORGE OPDYKE, and they can succeed: every
vote thrown for Havemeyer or Ogden is just thrown
away.

The two journals which support Fernando Wood
The Daily NsioS and The Hsraid-both admit
that Opdyke is the only candidate whom their
champion has to fear. They are right Have
meyer is SO weak, with only Tammany Hall aud

him, that be is already defeated. The struggle
between Wood aud Opdyke is now to be warm

From Charlestown we learn that John Brown
yesterday found il necessary to decline visits as he
was deeply engaged in preparing his public ex-
planatOry letter. He will make no speech at the
execution, and says he has confession to offer.
Gov. Wise has issued orders that no one be ad-
mitted to see Brown between this and the time for
the execution. There is to be a guard of $500
soldiers at the execution. A proclamation has
been issued by Gov. Wise, announcing that the
State has taken possession of the Winchester and
Potomac Railroad, and that the first three days
of December il will be used for milstary pur-
poses. He also warns the people OF the
State to stay at home on patrol duty
on the day of the execution, to protect their
property; and that, if it is necessary, martial law
win be proclaimed. Gen. TahaferrO has also
issued proclamation that all strangers who can
not give satisfactory account of themselves Will
be arrested; and that all persons coming to
Charlestown merely TO witness the execution VIII
be turned back Several reporters for the North
ern press have been driven ost of Harper's Ferry,
and compelled to go to Baltimore. Passengers
now riding on the railroad are required to procure
passports from Governor Wise.
