Hoffman must suffer by his approval OF the
Erie Directors. and similar jobs at Albany last
Winter, to which he cannot have given hearty
assent, though he has foolishly proclaimed that
he did. Had Gen. Hartranft been our candi-
date for Governor, his majority would nave
exceeded 10000, as the vote for Judge OF inc
Supreme Court clearly indicates. .........
Pendleton was strong candidate in ONO.
The fact that his was trial race preparatory
to entrance for the next Presidential sweep
stakes, impelled his friends to do their utmost
They have controlled the Legislature Tor TWO
years past; they had no doubt that the AVth
Amendment and the cry of "nigger' would
now insure them a complete triumph. Ihey
went in to win, and professed no doubt OF the
result. Mr.. Pendleton felt entirely confident
that he would be chosen Governor All that
the Greenback swindle could do for him. In q
State demoralized by the financial tergiversa-
tons of John Sherman and sundry lesser lights,
has been realized; yet he is chosen to stay at
home by decided vote: and-Iowa being
Overwhelmingly Republican, as usual the Oc-
tober Elections close with net loss to the
Sham Democracy Of the Legislature of Ohio.
Shall these results teach us nothing in New
York; The vote of our State was stolen from
Gen. Grant by the foulest, most audacious con-
spiracy and gigantic fraud. She is far more
decidedly Republican than Pennsylvania is, or
ever was; she was carried for Seymour and
Hoffman by crimes that ought to fill fifty State
Prisons to OVERLOOKING. At least Seventy Thou
sand illegal Naturalization Certificates were
fabricated for the occasion; while fully Tween
ty Thousand fraudulent votes were polled in
this City alone by less than two thousand
thieves and ruffians, most of whom had no right
to vote at all. These villains were subOrned
to commit felonies by greater villains who
live on the plumber of our taxpayers and
call themselves Judges, Supervisors, County
and Municipal officers. The thieves who haunt
the City Hall had cords around the necks of
the thieves who fear the penitentiary and
State prison, and made them commit new
crimes in order to escape punishment for those
they had already perpetrated. Right well they
knew that their employers could and would
shield them from punishment for the perjuries
and other felonies whereby they robbed the
State of her vote for President, and imposed
on her Governor who would know who made
him and govern himself accordingly. This
great State is now ruled by men who achieved
power by acts which should long since have
consigned them TO cells in our State Prisons.
Shall they riot in impunity another year
The answer will be given at the polls. AS
in Ohio and Pennsylvania, the croakers are
the chief impediment to a Republican triumph.
Day by day, we were favored with confden-
tal advices from either State that General
Apathy had command of the Republican
forces, and could not be superseded-that
thousands had been alienated by Grants
blunders in appointments-that a great many
reyolted at the XVIII Amendment-that Pen
dleton's Greenback scheme was sweeping all,
before it in Ohio-that Geary was load that
PENNSYLVANIA would not again shoulder, &c,
&c. The answer TO these Jobs comforters is
given by the returns.
Republicans of the Interior! we strongly
hope to reduce the fraudulent majority rolled
up for Hoffman in this City last Fall by more
than Thirty Thousand. Will you cooperate
with us to make our efforts effectua7
