NEW YORK, June 1.
In q communication to the Evening Post,
which has been reprinted in the form OF cir
cular for distribution, Ex-Governor Randolph,
of New Jersey, has proposed plan to utilize
the vote opposed to Grant 30 that 1t may be
made effective.
Governor Randolph's plan ls simply this: In
each State the State executive committees Of
The several parties opposed 10 presdens ,es Grant
electors 30 nominated being men OF honor ana
pledged 10 carry out the purposes OF tne
union, There shall be placed at the nead OF
each Joint electoral ticket the name OF one Oh
the electors mutually agreed upon VINO snali
be considered as expressing the preference OF
the voter for Presidential candidate. Thns,
In New York State, We will Say, it snail De
agreed that General John Cochrane, Mr.. VIM.
Cullen Bryant and Mr.. George Law shall be
among the candidates for electors on the Joint
ticket Liberals will vote the ticket arranged
with the name of General Cochrane at the
head. free-Traders will vote that headed 6y
Mr.. Bryant. Labor Reformers that headed oy
Mr.. Law. When all the votes In the State are
counted, If IL be ascerlained that the )olnt
electoral ticket ls elected, then the whole
electoral vote Of the State shall be given TO
the candidate whose representative eector
heads the most ballots, and when the electoral
colleges meet In December, then all The elect
oral votes shall be given to that anti.Grant
candidate who hos received the largest num-
ber of electoral votes.
The scheme might work thus: In New York,
the ticket headed by CochraDe might receive
200. 900 votes; by Bryant l50, 600 votes; by Law,
$4,000. Under the arrangement, General
COchrane's friend Greeley wound have The So
electoral votes of the State. When the elec-
torsl colleges come to compare notes, 1t might
appear that Grant bad received $50 electoral
votes, Greeley 100, Groesoeck 20, and Judge
Davis IT, The Greeley, Groesbeck and Davis
electors would cast their combined l87 votes
for that one of their candidates having the
most votes, and thus General Grant would be
defeated.
Governor Raudolph's proposition was printed
IN the Evening Post OF yesterday and the
World of this morning; but both Journals
reserved their comments. understand The
circular has teen sent to the leading ConserVa-
tive Journals and statesmen of the country.
Any political meeting balted with popular
names wilt attract crowd in q City as large
as New York, and Steiuway Hall was there

NV private advices from the Pennsylvania
Democratic Convention at Reading are to the
effect that the feeling In favor OF the lndorse-
menL Of Mr.. Greeley greatly predomlnaied.
This waa hardly nypact.d, a. thu D0moorAtic
press Of Pennsylvania has been nearly all the
other way. But there was no mlstakiDg the set
of the current at Reading, and resolutions In
favor OF Greeley could easily have been Car

majority not 10 exasperate The Straight-outrrs

probable that Mr. Greeley will also speak.
There is no question but that the great meet
