DEPARTURE OF THE BlGHTY-sKsESTH BROOK
A FEW FACTS FOR THINKERS.

To he Ediforof Tie n. '. Tyijsre
Sir: II may be allowe6'tbe use Of your columns,
permit me to lay before your readers few facts,
and thus call their attention 10 the importance Of
watching tho canvass as well ~ tue polling cisotes
The Official announcement 81 the late canvass, as
published in TIE TRIBUNE Of ibis morning, shows
the vote 10 be as follows:
Aerreaste vote o. State ticket (bigiest) 28
Aggregate vote for Ccuaty Cisrk ........' ~
Artrcrafe pstict-Atto ey..-........-5sjol
Aggregate vote for
Aggregate vote for Jadieiay ................SSeSI
Aggregate vote for sheriff. '.9J'|s
The vote for Sheriff was divided 40 follows
Vgt6 1874: Tweed H. $40; Brown 1884; Lynch, f2495
--ri,ing Lynch majority over Brown Of asa.
by an examination Of the above figures, II VIII be
seen that the vote fo- Sheriff exceeds the average
vose polled by 5000 and the average vote Of County
Clerk ald Distret-Attomey by 300.
Inasmuch as the three names were upon the same
ticket the question naturally arises Why 5000 of our
feow citizens should have felt 80 much more interest
in the election Of Sheriff than any other officer to
be voted for. Or is il fair to presume that 5000
voters " cut" AL the balance Of tho ticket
In contemplating this matter various suggestions
arise. Were the pol-books altered TO correspond
with tho returns Were the returns changed after
being in the hands of the chairmanof the canyassersf
Very few Of our best citizens take any further
interest in the election than Of deposng their ballot
After the announcement OF the result, no record
being kept the matter cannot be followed up efiec-
tusly by contestant.
Friends Of Opdyke, the most important matter to-
be attended TO is to you are not out counted.
70 this end let there be one man stationed IN every
election district in the city to hear the official an-
nouucemeut.
Let some one Of the number attend the county can
vas and observe any, and the least discrepancy be-
tween the returns and the announcement, and SD
fasten the guilt where it belongs.
Lynch evidently has been counted in" See to-
it. that Opdyke is not counted out Honor.

Mr. Gunther under other circumstances would
make respectable run for the Mayoralty. But
80 many OF his political and personal friends see
that the present contest is between Wood and
Osdyke, that they have resolved to postpone his
claims til a more opportune occasion, while they
now 20 in to crush the common enemy by casting
a vote which is sure to tell in the right direction.
Hence they go for 0pdyke to kill Wood.

The contest between Wood and Opdyke to.
day viii be very close. Every vote will tell.

Republican who is deluded into voting for him,
IN effect cOieS for Wood.

At the last County election great many
legslIy-appointed Canyassers were thrust out by
fellows vino came in, aud, by exhibiting forged
certificates from one Of the Supervisors, were
permitted to take part in the canvass. At least
three thousand illegal votes are said to have
been counted for Sheriff in this way. See to
it, friends Of honest elections, that no such
fraud Is perpetrated to-day.

Joe Hories new friends are denouncing Mr.
Opdyke, Ia placafds all about the streets, as
" an aboliiioaist.' Perhaps they think that is
way to induce Republicans to vote for a
member Of ''Peace Society,"" who wanted TO
have Mr. Lincoln mobbed.
