dishonest radical GENIUS to be correct,
this citv has never polled it's full legal vote.
! Look at New Hampshire, which In 1909
cast Is. 900 votes, her population being &C.
cordlue to the census OF 1870, but 5l7 ,O00;
| therefore that State cast one vote for less
than four and three fourshs Of the individu-
Ais omprising her population. Give New
York City an aggregate of 900,000, and as
her highest vote ever cast was only $4,000
but one person in every five and three
fourths cast his vote. Thus it is seen that
even under a census, which fraudenty
lessons our population, this democratic
city polls proportionslly nearly twenty five
per cent less votes, that the republican State
of New Hampshire. Do the republicans re-
peat and commit frauds there?
Ii is believed that the democratic state
ticket will be elected by from $4,000 to 100,
600 ma iofity be elected even without this
city. The republicans have, apparently,
very weak ticket. Their candidate for
Governor and Lieutenant governor, both live

rose water politician and nice young man;
"says" he was not capable of editing q
newspaper, and stands nc chance to be gov

placed in nomination against Governor
Hoffman Their candidate for Lieutenant
governor is s. Kaufman, a jew lawyer of
very small capacity, or note. Thousands
of repu blicsns are dissatisfied, and the party
is in a quarrel everywhere. They eagerly
embrace John Morrisoey and his repeaters-
but eventual won't save them. The de
mocrscy have kicked out the rowdy element
and radicalism has welcomed it with open
arms In November, with our unexcep
tionable state and local tickets. and under
the excellent leadership of Messrs. Tweed

honorable Tammany Society, you may look
for a brilliant democratic victory one
which will cheer the hearts of true demo
