New York viii VOte-Sure for

Editors Of the Register:
As the elections in some Of the most
important States are over, the next
State of any significance which has not
yet spoken is New York, and many in-
auiries are made as to how she will cast
her IS electoral votes. The election for
State officers occurs the same day OF
the Presidential election. A Governor,
members of the Legislature and other
State officers are to be chosen then.
The Legislature elected will elect a
United States Senator in place Of Sem
ator Conkling, whose term OF office
expires next March. Both parties have
candidates in the field for the various
offices and both are striving for success.
The canvass has been an active one
throughout the State.
Francis Kerpan, of Utica, is the Lib
eral and Democratic candidate for Gov"
ernor. Hei is lawyer by profession,
and an able, pure and vigorous man.
His private life ia without blemish /;
his reputation spotless; his character
unimpeachable, and his integrity and
honor unquestionable. The Admins,
tration candidate is "Gen." John A..
Dix, OF the city of New York. He ls
quite old and feeble, and is, in fact,
yerging upon the grave. 1t was he who
so patriotically uttered, "If any man
attempts TO haul down the American
flag, shoot him on the spot" During
the war, however, he took particular
care not to expose his precious person
to rebel bullets. How he obtained the
title OF General am unable to state,
unless he fought in the Revolutionary
war He has been perpetual office
holder and office-beggar from the time
whereof the memory Of man runneth
not to the contrary. He has been upon
all sides Of political questions, as he has
a peculiar faculty of compromising his
principles to suit the times.
Such are the standard bearers, briefly
told, who are leading their respective
political parties in this State. Which
will win ? New York has long been a
Democratic State. In 1868 she gave
Seymour a large majority, and in 1870
elected John T. Hoffman, the present
efficient and popular Democratic Gov
ernor, by $4,000 majority. There has
not been a general State election since
then. In addition to this Democratic
majority is the Liberal Republicans,
which element is very strong Ill this
State and ia composed Of some OF the
best men and most active members OF
the old Republican party, who to-day
stand shoulder to shoulder with the
Democracy in this battle for constitu L.
tional freedom. Taking these facts into
consideration it warrants the prediction
that New York will give an overwhelm-
ing majority for Francis Herman and
Horace Greeley.
The election In pennsylvania, IN
stead of discouraging the Greeley party,
has infused new life into their organiza.
ton. The tremendous frauds perpe>
trated by the unblushing and reckless
GRANTEES in Philadel phia have aroused
a feeling of honest indignation in the
minds Of all law-abiding men.
From all parts of the State comes
the cheering news that the friends of
good government, honest administra-
ton, republican institutions, and OF
peace and publication, are nobly and
manfully endeavoring to roll back the
waves OF corruption, and 10 stand with
in the folds of the old Constitution.
Let me assure your readers. Messrs.
Editors, that New York will do her
whole duty on the 9th day Of next
month, and will give her votes in the
Electoral College for the farmer OF
Chappaqua. DATA.
