Hoffman, the Democratic candidate
for Governor of New York, has a
majority of 10000, while Seymour's
is but 9,O33. Griswold, the Radical
candidate for Governor, runs 10000
behind Grant, and Seymour runs
about the same behind Hoffman.
This fact fully dispels the charge OF
fraud made against Mr.. Hoffman and
his friends by the Radicals. 1t was
the unpOpularity of their nominee
and the popularity of ours that gave
John T Hoffman over 10000 majority
in the Empire State.
