evidently considerable change on the part Of the coun
try people Had the election in this State been held three
weeks ago Judging from what able observe and
see myself in various places and in counties where
the magnates are not all OF the same political com
ploxion the Syracuse ticket would have been carried
by greater majority than Tilden carried the State last
and both houses OF the Legislature been secured
70 the democracy But ! 40 not think that could he
done nowi and, although at the present outlook the
apparent attitude Of the many Of the counties
have visited leads 70 believe that the democratic
ticket VIII win by good majority IL certainly Will not
be ~ near az large majority as last years Indeed,
the republicans should push ill the end Of tins
month their planning get their full vote with the
same vigor that they have been doing, there is
knowing what may happen. The evidences are every
where that an Immense vote viii be polled. In
cities and towns where registration Is Of obligation
have found that the registration in every instance far
exceeds that Of last year This is remarkably so in
would seem that the work Of those who have been in
sructed 70 get out the full republican is meeting
with success and they can succeed as well in the re-
mote districts they may have reason the 81 of No

leaders last year that the rank and he stayed at

who doing their utmost 70 have the State

hand to help the party the way OF canyassing and

lary they now the democratic victory Of last year
was due

gods the republican State ticket I'VE could have
won the election But while the democratic canvass
Of the most thorough ever known, scarcely
step out Of the usual routine was taken to stir up the
country people"
Another remarked ;-'There were comparatively few
republican meetings held IN the small villages last year
and things quiet republican farmers hardly
knew that there to be an election"
Things certainly quite different this year, and If
what have Witnessed Of the efforts being made by the
workers in both parties in the counties have been in
pattern Of what is being done in all other counties the

OF the largest votes ever cast in the State, The re-
pubhcans as | have mentioned, believe that If they
get out their full vote they will carry the State
the ground that there more republicans than
democrats the State. But how the canvass is going
to determine beforehand which party certain
votes am at loss TO see; Tor II Is not every repub-
hcan voter who talks freely this year and have found
instances OF this suspicious circumstance on every
side. There o good deal OF il weeks
ago than now; but wherever have gone of late have
come across enough examples Of voters among the re-
publcans who 'have not made up their minds; don't
know whether they Will vote at all" and who think
