was no doubt that the election Of Gen DIX would be an
EXPRESSION OF approval OF the third term principle, while
his defeat would be equal expression OF the VIII OF
the people OF the state OF New York opposition TO
anything OF the kind. He has heard the rumors that
the Democrats o. the part Of the State were Cd
posed 10 the nomination OF Mr Tden but from the re-
Torts Of both Mr. Dorsheimer and Mr.. Warren, both

shown during the meeting OF tDe Democratic staVe
Committee was also evidence 70 him that all the DIT

Convention had entirely subsidized and tnst nothing but

Samuel J. Tlden received over 1900 let ers within
three DAYS from different parts or the state assuring
hin the part OF the Democratic
party to elect Office. Tee Issue being one as 10
United States, hs chaLces even better than they
