Presidential.

we lay before our readers the following
"historical facts and opinions of the press
which we gather from our contemporaries.
No one would rejoice in the nomination of
the Hon. ID. S. Dickinson of New York,
more than woj especially if it would secure
the Union and the harmony of the party
HISTORICAL FACTS THE DIVISION OF
PARTIES.
In 1876, at the Presidential election be.
tween the Democracy who voted for Thorn
as Jefferson. and the Fedcralist who voted
for John Adams, the latter got every clec'
toral vote in New England. Again, $500
at the Presidential election-the same can
didatcs in the tield--thc Fcderalist Ad-
ans received the unanimous electoral vote
of New England. The whole North voted
for Adams OH both occasions, save parts
Of Pennsylvania and New York. The
South was nearly or quite unanimous for
Jefferson.
In 1898 and 1899. when James Mtdi-
son was running for President on the Dem.
ocratic ticket, every New Englanl State
voted against him save Vermont. All the
Southern States voted for him save Della,
ware.
In 1928 all New England went for
John Quincy Adams, except one electoral
vote in Maine. Gen Andrew jackson
was beaten in every Eastern State. The
South went lmost unanimously for Jack
son.
The New England States are now where
they were in the days of Jefferson and
Jackson-oppo'cd to the Democratic par
ty. After all the mutations of politics
and of time, the divisions of parties are
geographically about as they were 1890
and 1900.
All Of which shows very clearly how
much is expected of New York and the
other Middle States at this peculiarly OK
citing crisis in our political history. We
remarked the other day that We could as
sure our Southern friends that i'll the event
Of Mr.. Dickinson receiving the nomination
he is sure to carry the State of New York
by an overwhelming majority. We be-
lieve Mr.. Dickinson will have every D.m-
ocratic vote in the State, together with the
national and conservative votes of the cd
Wing and American parties.
In confirmation of these, We have much
satisfac ion in extracting from our cxchan
ges the following extracts, showing most
cogelusively the remarkable unanilnity of
feeling which pcrvadcs all parts Of the
State in favor of the nomination of the
Hon. d. S. Dickinson to the Presidency
Of the United States, to W.T.;
The Ulster Rcpeblican, published at
Kingston, Ulster County, says:
"No one enjoys more full or justly the
confidence OF the Democracy than MIR.
Dickinson. lie is Union Democrat and
what is more, has always been. IL, can
carry New Work over all antagonist,.'
The Tompkins County Democrat says:
awe this day place at the head of our
editorial columns the name of the Hon.
Daniel S. Dickinson"
The Suffolk County Dymocrat says:
"Should the labors of the Convention
terminate in the presentation of the name
Of Mr. Dickinson as our standard bearer
in the coming contest, we have no hesita-
ton in procla.ming the success oil the Ma
tional Democracy, in the gret battle of
1860, as beyond doubt
The Ovid Bee, publi.hcd at Ovid, Sen
eca County, says;
"Thc two delegates TO Charleston from
this State, if united into one, and required
to vote as a unit, would vote at once for
just such u man; and so settled is the gen
eral conviction on that point, that is Who'll
ly unnecessary to name that Nut0 al
Democratic man u Nr Fork to the par
ty-a man whose record is undoubtcd both
in his own State and throughout the I'm
ion, His nomination would tend to unite
every section Of the Democratic party i'll
one accord, and carry this State By thous-
ands upon thousands for the Democratic
Electoral ticket
The Putnam County Courier says:
"By reference to the head of this column
the reader will observe the colors under
which We intend to sail until the sitting Of
the Convention in April next We hoist
the sail Of the Hon Daniel S. Dickinson,
the Old Roman of the Empire State, as
the only one calculated at the present cri-
sis to control a clear majority of the
electoral votb Of tie Union. Daniel S
Dickinson is the only man upon whom all
sections Of the Union will rally with una
loyed confidence

vailed Oh various occasions
