The State Of New York bears the dishonor Of u
majority for Seymour Of some 5000. This re-
suits from the fact Of q city majority of some
60,COO against a majority for Grant from the re-
nlainder Of the state Of 5000. The Union
League, however, Of New York city are determined
to contest the election Of Hoffman ~ Governor of
the State. IN consequence Of the enormous amount
Of fraudulent voting. His majority was 10000,
showing how far Seymour ran behind his party in
his own State. Following in the wake of New
York are the petty States Of New Jersey. Della
ware, Maryland. ana other IF the middle range.

election Of Lincoln in 1861. The majorities are
in most cases heavier. and in some States two
fold greater. than in that celebrated Union tn
