Samuel J. Tildon, Chairman Of the State
Central Committee of New York Denocra-
ey, the arithmatician Of the World takes up
his slate pencil, aud proves to the terrified
unterri6ed" that their late defeats are
heavy gains, arguing happy results in Nov.
smber. The result of Mr.. Tildsn's figuring
is as follows:
In Indiana we have reduced the Republican
majority from IA SIG to o doubtful claim of 800
majority.
In Pennsylvania we have reduced the Repub-
ican majority in 1866 about ono half. A further
change Of one vote in lao would have given us
q couplste victory in that great commonwealth.
In Ohio, in the Congressional election lust
more than one-half-frsm 10000 to Is 900
from the Congressional election of 1866, and
have gained three members Of Congress.
To this ciphering on the part of Mr.. Til
don the Tribune this responds.
Ohio, last year three thousand Republican, is
this year only sixteen thousand, which you find
to be great Democratic gain. In Pennsylva-
mia, last year nearly thousand Democratic, is
this year only ten thousand Republican, which
you find to be Democratic gain of the most
magnificent proportions. From such gorgeous
gains you call upon the Democracy Of New
York to be inspired. So do we. May the in
spiration DO widespread and enduring!

Central Committee has evidently forgot 1867

the leaders are publishing encouraging ad-

masses Of the party are preparing by thou
sands to vote for Grant and Collar.
The World came out in lengthy editorial
the moning after the elections advocating a
change of candidates, which the leading or

The week before last, our neighbor bid
Samuel Doleful" look to Pennsylvania,
Ohio, and Indiana for Wonderfully live
and stalking ghost" Last week he joins
the rapidly augmenting host of Mr.. Doleful,
and acknowledges, in utter despair what all
along that immaculate organ of the Cecil
Democracy has SO stoutly denied. The fol.
lowing is its confession.
We assert what all will admit that feeling Of
disappointment pervaded the Democratic ranks
when the New York nominations were announc-
ed. No one doubted the virtue or the ability of
Messers. Seymour and Blair No one denied
that they were exalted patriots and worthy the
suffrage of the nation. The disappointment
grew out of the apprehension that they were
not available. If the result of Tuesdays cleo
ton has confirmed this apprension, the World
is right in suggesting their withdrawal.
So this veritable journal owns the corn
that it has been palming wilful lies upon its
party ever since the 4th Of July last, telling
them that no better nominations could have
been made, and that Grant had no popu.
larity, etc. But if Seymour and Blair are
"exalted patriots, and worthy the SURFACES
of the nation," and NO one doubts their vir.
tue and ability, what is wanting to make
them " arailable ," These qualities do not,
it seems, constitute democratic availability +!
