From these figures it will be seen that the
prospects of carrying the First Senatorial dis
trict are not very fattering, although, as the
Republican vote in 1868 exceeded by about
five hundred the Democratic vote in 1867,
good man on the former ticket might possibly
carry away the prize from a bad man on the
latter ticket Mr.. Watt, who has received the
Republican nomination, fills this requirement
to an unusual degree, while it is generally con-
ceded that Mr.. Samuel Josephs, the late mem
ber of the House from the Third district, is to
receive the Democratic nomination; and if
this should prove to be the case, the require
ments for the success of the Republican nomi-
nee will certainly be fully met on the other
side
scrutiny of the votes in the Representa-
tive districts shows that the Second, Third,
Fifth Ninth, and Thirteenth are hopelessly
Democratic, and may be dismissed with
simple exhortation to the Republican voters
residing III them to make the best use of their
votes and diminish the Democratic maiorities
as far as may be possible. The Sixth, Ele-
venth and Eighteenth districts are very close,
and success will crown the efforts of the Re-
publicans in each of them only in return for
the utmost exertion to secure the election of
good and unexceptionable men. In the Sixth
and Eighteenth districts new men have been
placed in nomination, and as far as our know
ledge of them at present extends, we have rea-
son to believe that they are both worthy of
the support of the Republican portion of the
voting population of the If districts. The fail
ure of Messrs Kleckner and Hervey, the mem
bers of the last House, to receive a renomina-
ton, was the first step towards insuring sue
cess If either of them had been renOmnated,
he would have received just what he deserved,
an ignominious and humiiating defeat.
With regard to the ten remaining districts,
the Republican maiorities of the past two
years would have rendered them entirely safe
under certain contingencies. These require
ments have been fully met in the First, Sc
venth, Fifteenth, and Seventeenth districts
by the nomination of new men, from whom
we can at least hope for decent and credita-
BILE discharge Of the Legislative functions to
which they will undoubtedly be called. In
the Fourth district the Gas Ring succeeded in
/ splitting the convention, and we have two
| candidates presented, one of them a new
man, who has no disreputable associations,
and the other a member of the Gas Trust,
who should be Indignantly repudiated by
every honest Republican voter in the district.
Unless Mr.. Elliott's name is withdrawn, either
voluntarily or through the action of the City
Executive Committee, the result will proba-
bly, be the loss of the district, which has been
Republican for years; and if this result
should be brought about the Gas Ring will be
directly and solely responsible for it, Under
every contingency we trust that Mr.. Breadv
will remain in the field, and that his friends
will do their utmost to secure his election bv
plurality, if not by majority vote.
We now come to the familiar names of
Messrs. STOKES, DAVIS, BUM, ADAIRE,
CLOUD, and HONG, the half-dozen mis-
representatives who sat in the last House,
and now have the impudence and temerity to
&c leto.e lie people Of their districts for re-
