The New York 7ymes says that the Repub-
licans comp3ois Of the secret circular Of the
Democratic State COMMITTEES, whereby . great
vote was drawn ont for theircandidaaes. We
have seen no such complaint. II was the
business Of that Commitaee to getout As large
vote as possible, and they did il we'll. Il
wewere disposeato complain at ", il would
be that the Republican Committeedid not do
likewise. But, while We know thatthis Com
mittee we're far less efficient than the Demo-
cratic, we should have to know that they had
ample means before assuming to censure. II
is manifest that the Democratic COMMITTEES
controlled and spent an extraordinary amount
Of money. Look again at the language OF
their secret circular, addressed to Golden
tial Democratic manager in each county, ~
follows:
"Dr.R SIR. The necessity for close atten.
ton to details in this contest Is most appa.
rent. Il is comparatively noiseless, but it
should be made full of activity.
1.-THE great end to be accomplished is:
"1o poll every Democratic vote.
1.-The first thing to be done is to learn the
names of all the Democrats and doubtful
men. For this purpose the blanks were fur
nshed you. and, so far as you have returned
TO me the lists, ] to-day send you copies by
mail See the remainder as rapidly as pos.
sible.
These lists are to be placed in the hands
| Of active men in the districts; ! inclose in
each list circular describing their duties,
for their direction; ! also inclose you copy
thereof.
snake it your business to employ these
men yourself. Do not trust to letters; 60 and
see them; pay them for their time in warn
ing the tilatory, and for election day, and to
provide the means to haul the slow men to
the polls. 1t is better to spend money IN this
way than by meetings. Ii you have any
doubt OF the men you EMPLOY, tell others OF
our friends that you have placed money in
! their har ds
''Get Your detailed vote for 1865 and for
! 1866. Compare the two. and this will show
you the districts likely to be slow. Give
| them special attention now. 1t Is important
| to get Trustworthy men in each district. DO
not devote your attention g to making sre-
| cifc majority but look 10 getting out your
whole vote When this is done, the sjoriiy
| follows.
In very slow districts, would suggest
| special contract with active men, thus: In
1865 the district polied 100 Democratic votes;
| in 1866, 10 Democratic votes. Now, for
every Democratic vote over 10 polled we
will pay Won u fixed sum the day after the
| election. ! his is simply an incentive to
bring men out. for the vote of 1867 shows
that they are there. See that your agents
| have all Democrats assessed, naturalized,
! and their taxes paid. Let me know what |
| can do for YOU Send forward the lists rap>
| idly.
. Be very careful of this paper; keep it
| entirely private.
Respectfully yours,
nWM. A. WALLACE,
'sCh'n Dem. State Cent. Com.
Yet with this extraordinary effort and
manifestly lavish expenditure of money to an
extent which the Republican could not begin
to equal, sharswood has but about 1000 ma>
jority, willie the Republicans have both
branches Of the Legislature in spite Of the
detection in Philadelphia. And the Demo-
cratic vote is not SO large by several thous
ands as it was last year, when the Republi,
cans gave Gov. Geary over II, 600 majority
