Tot us deal first with The Journals ICON
"stantly decreasing Republican votein New York
"City.r Turning to the records, we find that the
Repnblican vote of this City and of Chautauqua
County respectively, at the several Presiden-
tial elections since the Republican party was
formed, stands as follows:
New York ..--..17,71 1920 1861 47,13S
Chautauqua.. 1857 0,48l 0,TOO 1851
Ought New-York to be ashamed of that ex-
hibitH Consider that the better part of our
population is constantly migrating from the
City to its suburbs, and being replaced here by
new corners, hostile to the Republican cause,
and judge if Chautauqua journal can justly
reproach us for the constantly decreasing Re-
publican vote of New York"
H. But there were frauds perpetrated in the
Citynlast Fall. Yes, there were-atrocious, gi-
gantic frauds, paid for, in good part, with money
drawn from Republican taxpayers by Demo
cratic officials through Tax-Levies which passed
the Legislature by the help of Republican votes,
in spite of our patient exposures and earnest ex-
postuations. We warned our legislators not
to fill the Golfers of Tammany so bounteously I;
but some of them took their allowance OF tlle
swag, and piled up the Levies which pad tor
the Forty Thousand bogus AUTHORIZATIONS
and colonized repeaters who stole our Electoral
Vote from Gen. Grant. Right in the face OF
this stupendous villainy, the two dozen afore-
said voted to give Tammany more money 10
beat us with again! And the best advice that
The Journals crowd have to give in the prem
Uses is, Remove temptation from the Leglsla-
ture by repeating law older than any party
now existing. and let tho Tammany Ring tax
us without limit or scrutiny How is that to
preyent their cheating us hereafter even more
than they cheated us last Fall, and with lar
less difficulty
III. As to THE TRIBUNE being "Clty
"iournal"-whereon the jobbers' organs harp
it is no such thing. 1t is issued in the City,
because this is the best point in America
whence to circulate great newspaper; but II
is nowise local in its character, and has never
sought to be. 1t does not pander to the vices
which countrymen find the City the safest
place to indulge in, and which thus furnish a
large portion of the City's gains: hence it was
never popular here, and never will be- We
presume it has more subscribers in Chautauqua
County than The Journal has; and we do not
doubt that its influence there is quite equal to
that of its rural critic. And we close by telling
that critic frankly, We know what your dem
onstratiOn against THE TRIBUNE means, and
it won't do The XXXIId District will elect
no jobber to the Senate next Fall, unless he be
a Democrat Let this be understood, once for
all have Republican candidate nominated
whom honest men can vote for without shame
and let us have peacel
