New York in the Light of the Figures.

At the Saratoga Convention, the Rcpub-
ncan managers expressed no confidence
that they would be able TO carry the state
this fall On the contrary, the shrewdest
of them gave it up; though a few said that
II HAYES should succeed in Ohio, the Re-
publicans might perhaps try to recover
New York.
The result in Ohio has doubtless infused
little hope into the Republican leaders
In this state. All the indications point in
that direction. aud we advise the Demo-
Gratis not TO bc caught mapping The basis
OF Rcpu'l can expectations, rs we under
stand il, is the supposition that that party
has "A large reserved force Which has not
been at the polls since 1872, but which will
come out this year mainly because their
Convention declared against third term
FOR GRANT.
Viewing the subject from this stand
point, the figures of the last three elections
are worthy of careful study. In 1s72 the
Republican vote cast in the State was
A6,O in 1873 II was 33i 900; in 1874 it was
sG6,OOO. In ls12 the Democratic vote was
S2, 900; in 1873 II was 337 $50; in 1874 it was
10000. II will be seen, therefore, that in
these two years the Republican vote fell
OF $4,000, while the Democratic vote in
creased A.0OO. The Republicans assert that
this decrease on their side was unnatural,
and owing to causes which no longer exist (;
and they affirm that they will have the
whole $1,000 ut the ballot boxes next Tues
day.
Unquestionably there is significance in
these figures. But we think the Republi-
cans are reckoning without their host.
This is the of year, as Dr. GREELEY used
TO say, and they cannot get out their full
vote. Moreover, good many OF tho $1,000
were at the pools last fall but they voted
for TILDES instead Of DIX. 1t was mainly
from this source that TGLDEN got the
"A. 900 increase over KERNANs vote OF 1877.
1t may be that more Republicans will 20

year OF the year before; but are the Re
publican leaders quito sure that they will

why is TIE SUN so anxious for the suo-
cess OF MOODY and SANKEY In Brooklynl The
answer is plain. because the wickeduess Of
Brooklyn has become alarming, and because
there IL necessity for moral and religious re-
yival among its people. These two points do
not need To be proved. They are palpable and
indisputabie. We assume, OF course, that the
reviv will bring forth the practical fruits OF
righteousness; that II wil destroy social, polit-
l. and mercantile corruption; that It viii
purify the moral atm phere OF the place; and
that II Will lead TO a higher virtue, personal and
public. than has heretofore prevailed. We
would not give anything for religious revival
that did not produce these results, and We shall
judge Of the present revival oy its success In
establishing them. In these results the whole
community are interested. They are for every
body's advantage. They injuro no religious de-
nomination. We care nothing for the revival in
so far as It IL considered adyant geous 10y one
sect or abother We shall care little for 1t II 1t
90 not 20 b, yond passing religious emotion.
We presume that the reyival,sts and the cl,rg,
Of BROOKLYN who cooperate with them, regard
the revival as something that will directly and
deeply affect the lives aud conduct of those who
I'm under its influence. Thus only is II of the
slightest interest to lHE SUN.

Signs of the Pennsylvania Election.

Mr.. Bon MAcKEY is evidently IN a state
OF mind His Pittsburgh newspaper is
oiled daily with monstGous les about PER-
sHING and PIoILET, and frantic appeals to
the people not TO elect them. His case ould
certainly be desperate under an honest adj
minstratiOn, ana there are those who
think he has his little savings reduced 10 a
portable shape, ana has some notion Of
joiniu Z JONI PATTI PRISON in South Carolina,
or CLAYTON III Arkansas, or COSNOILY and
SwEENY in Europe. But he will not retire
until he sees how the fight goes. An eX-
Treasurer, dong general banking and
specializing business, may rake in nearly
rs much Of the plumber as the actual ill.,
cumbent Of the Office, provided the latter
be his friend. Mr. kEMBLE, for instance,
has not suffered under his friend MACKEY,
and MAcKEYs "uneXpended balance Of
political inlquity" could scarcely do worse
by him. But il PIoLIET should be elected,
the prospect would be very sad. There
would be the KEMBLE bond, and the checks
on broken banks, aud we know not what
else, to be Immediately replaced by cash.
Then according to the last report of the
investigating committee there would re-
main to be accounted for the following re-
spectacle items Of alleged plumber. We

Is it any wonder that MAcKEY looks for
ward TO the election of PIOILET with I'M
bounded terror In IA recent impression
of his paper, he gives great string of rea-
sous why the people should save him from
this hideous calamity Of an honest man for
his successor. Among them is included, of
course, the original objection that PGoL-
LET cannot b. bribed, which becomes a
very serious matter, in view Of his sturdy
denuncation OF the crime OF embez2le-
ment, and his declared purpose to exact
FOR the Commonwealth the last dollar OF
Interest received on the public deposits.

principle enunciated by ProILEr, which

ton will be, III the language of the best in
formed OF our Philadelphia contemporaries,

HENRY WARD BEEcHER kept out OF reach

the afternoon, though the services were held at
times when his attendance upon them would
not interfere with his own performances. Ii IL

Ing the present revival, the evangelists will have
to make special efforts to get at him. II direc,

they might wait on him aud escort him there.
Once there. lie must be induced to mount the
platform, where he can be seen by the multi
Jude. Then would be the opportunity for
MOODY and SANKEY to wrestlo with him.
MOODY should spply the terrors Of the law with
a lash Of scorpions TIL he writhed under tue in
Fiction. lie should keep This up I'LL the sinner
gave signs OF surrender. Then SANKEY, rising
In his presence, should sing some OF those re-
morseful psalms composed by the King OF
Israel when conscious OF his transgresslons.
The struggle should be kept up for hours, II that
length OF time should be necessary to bring
BEECuER to his knees. He should not be al
lowed to reply, or to open his mouth at ALL I'M
less to announce himself ready TO make his CON
fession. That confession would be the crown
ing incident Of the revival. II would doubtless
come hard II would probably curdle the blood
OF the audience; It would certainly make
MOODY and SANKkY stand aghast. hut bowen
would be there to sustain the truth and at least
a score Of Bfooklyn clereymen would be ready
TO express their satisfaction. In any event,
BEEcHER should not be allowed to escape. II
he pefsisteutly refuse TO visit the Rink and put
himself under the influence OF the evdugelists,

Attug upou him.

Many of the clergy of Great Britain were
led to favor MOODY and SANKEY by seeing that
their own churches, instead OF boii1s deserted
on account Of the revival. were fuller than ever
during its progress. The same result from the
labors Of the evangests was visible In Brooklyn
on Sunday. There was an increased attendance
at the regular services OF nearly all the churches
OF every denomination. There was a deeper in
terest than ordinary in the exercises 1t IL not
surprising, under these circumstances, that so
many Of the leading clerglmon of Brooklyn have
come forward to sustain MOODY and SANKEY,
and have displayed their determination to CO.
operate Ia pushing forward the WORK Of revival.

The Glorious Free Press.

The superannuated drivel OF Or. BRowN-
son about the want OF conscience in the
daily press is pretty thoroughly refutcd by
the aspect which the three morning papers
OF largest circulation in New York now
present. Here are the Times, the Herald
and THE SUM- all ut work like three
brothers, for the preservation of the indie
pendence of the judiciary, and in resist
ance of bold attempt to establish the
dangerous one-man power. In minor mat
tiers and details which are subordinate,
they mag differ; but they are all at work,
with all their might, every one in its own
way, for the liberties Of the people and
against q dcspotic, partisan rule.
1t Is because the people find the press so
faithful to them, and the most jealous guar
dian of their rights, that they, III turn,
yield To- the press such Il powerful and
generous support.
