THE CAMPAIGN IN NEW YORK.
The Views of the New York Hera,

The Views of the New York Herald.
The following editorial in the New York
Herald of October 26 will be read with
interest:
The election is to take place on Tuesday
next. The intervening week will be one of
strenuous effort on both sides. The Repub-
lican speakers advertised for the remainder
of the present week average more than fifty
for each day. The advertised Democratic
speakers are not more than half as many,
but they comprise a larger proportion of
men of first rate ability. Elk Governor Sey-
mOur, altogether the most plausible and
persuasive campaign orator in the State,
makes his first appearance in the canvass
at Little Falls this evening, and he will
also speak in this city on Thursday evening,
at Utica on Saturday evening, and at Sche-
nectady on Monday evening. Senator ker
nan speaks this evening at Troy, to morrow
evening at Whitehall, Thursday evening in
this city, Friday evening at Albany, Satur
day evening at Utica, and Monday evening
at Rome. The only Republican champion
who can compare with these two is Senator
Conkling, whose only remaining appoint
ments are at Buffalo tomorrow evening and
at Utica on Friday evening But if the
Democrats bring their great gunsmOre fre-
quently into the contest during the week
the Republicans have an advantage in the
The activity of the canvass on the Rel ub-
lican side is a consequence OF the Repub
lican victory in Ohio and the expected VIC
tory in Pennsylvania, where an initiation
platform will have the same effect as in
Ohio. The New York Republicans have
gathered hope and zeal within the last two
weeks, and are making vigorous canvass.
Within the last day OF two they profess to
be sanguine of success; but such professions
are made for electiOneering effect, and may
not have any substantial basis. The lead
ing Republican organ Of this city stated yes
terday that 1.-The state co umittee has in it's
possession information which leaves no
doubt whatever as to the success of the Re-
publican State ticket" alleging that this
vass of the State" 1t is probable enough
that the Republicans are making gains and
that they will reduce the Democratic ma
jOrity Of last year, but we do not think they
have any chance of recovering the State in
this election. Governor Tilden and his
friends are managing the Democratic can
vass with remarkable skill, and the reform
issue, which they press with unwearied
diligence, takes q strong hold on popular
feeling.
The weak point of the Democratic can
vass is one which hardly appears on the
surface and does not admit OF exact meas
urement. There is considerable opposition
to Governor Tilden's ticket in the Demo-
cratic party itself, but it is not openly
avowed. Ii it has been communicated to
the Republican leaders in private cOnversa-
tiOns this may perhaps be one ct the
grounds of their professed confidence. 1t
Is well known that there was strenuous
Democratic opposition to Governor Tilden's
nomination last year; that he encountered q
passionate Democratic opposition IN the
Legislature last winter, led by Sneaker Nc
CURE, and that the dishonest Democrats
who have been hurt by the canal in
vestigation had formerly great number
not all nave deserted them. remark
made by Attorney General Pratt in the
canal board last week shows he is
out of accord with the Governor, and
a rather damaging statement by Speaker
Mcclure, published yesterday, proves that
he ia mere than willing. to damage
the Democratic ticket. 1t does not yet
appear how the numerous friends of Chief
Justice Church stand affected toward the
ticket, but the judge is supposed to be out
of favor with the Tilden Democracy.
Speaker McGuire's statement, to which we
have alluded, impesches the veracity of
Mr.. Fairchild, Governor Tilden's candidate
for Attorney General, and is also blow to
Mr.. Hammond, the Democratic candidate
for Senator in the twenty.sixth district.
Speaker McGuire's damaging statements
are corroborated by the Published evidence,
including an affidavit BY Mr.. Howard Car
roll and letter from Mr.. Alvord, Q prom
inept member of the Assembly. Nobody,
except, perhaps, some of the Republicau
leaders, has any means of estimating the
extent Of the Democratic disafiection in the
