1t is conceded that the Republicans Of New
York will re.nominats Gov. Fenton, at their
convention this week. Tho bread-and- butter
party will head their ticket with Demoora,
at least the World which speaks for the
Democratic party, says this must be the ar
rangemcnt. The campaign now promises to
be very active and vigorous. The Tribune
speaks hopefully of the result in the follow
ing article
Friends living remote from Us write to ask
what is the probability with regard to the
result of our approaching State Election.
We answer specifically and confidently.
AT the last Presidential Election, the total
vote Of our State was as follows:
P,e,id..s Lincoln ses.7as. Mcclellan scl. sse
T. A9ond 49, isyd Sone. ss
Mejo,ilss Lincoln .74s F,nton $3.50 Aivord 7,7I9
Gov. Fenton had the hig hest vote and the
largest majority Of any man on either Ma
tional or State ticket. And his vote stands
to this day the largest ever cast for any one
in this State for any Office whatever.
At our election last fall the vote stood
con,ro1i.r-Hiiihou.s sos.4ss Robinson ai.ssa
MsJortis-Barlow, a. Hhouse, 3o,576.
We believe our majority was largely re-
duced in 1864, by foul play, especially with
the soldiers votes; last fall We polled rather
mole than our actual majority, because the
Democratic managers undertook to plow with
strange he,fers and 30 diegusted the rank and
6le Of their party that thousands of them
utterly refused to vote. If the same policy ia
persisted in, the disgust and disaffectlon will
probably be greater this year. The New
York Democracy are rather hard on the bit !;
and it will take them some time to reconcile
them to the leadership of Weed, Raymond
and the ringer of the Z" little BELL But on
square party ssue, aud full popular vote,
the Kepublican Union majority in the State is
Just about 10000.
We can overgo that figure this fall, and
arc determined to do it. Never did the pulse
Of party beat higher than does that of the
Republicans OF New York to-day. The New
Orleans massacre, with the neiarious means
used to mislead the public mind touching the
facts, and the dispatches of Gen. Sheridan,
have aroused stern public indignation which
sweeps all before 1t. Ii the election were
next Tuesday, we should POLL more votes than
we did last year with two months wherein
to enlig hten and arouse the masses by pub
locations and speeches, We can poll at least
40 900 more votes than any party ever yet
cast in this State save at the last PresIden tial
election.
And let none fear that We shall not make
proper efforts throughout our State. We
have Congress 10 eject, and We shall con-
test every district with desperate resolution.
Where our local strength Is overwhelming,
we shall work for our State ticket; where We
are relatively weak, We shall fight to elect
our Representatives In Congress. We may
lose one member (gained in "a by adverse
divisions) in this city; We confidently expect
to gain three, and hope for four, elsewhere.
A L. S. Senator is at stake, and we have not
the taintest notion of losing him.
Our State Convention next week will be
very strong in numbers and character, and its
meeting and deliberations will swell the en-
thusiasm already prevailing. We shall there
take steps to secure a thorough canvass Of
our Sta te from end to end. and to call out
our vote to the utmost. Recent acts of our
Legislature have strengthened the impede
ments to illegal voting, which operates sig
nally to our advantage. 1t will be faI more
difficult to "a vote often,'' or to vote at all If
unqualified, than it ever yet has been. Our
saving by these acts must amount TO several
thousand votes.
