Commissioner Bishop, the Chief Supervisor
Of Elections, dcsirous Of appointing as deputies
the best men he can find in the ranks OF both
political parties, sent request to the respective
headquarters yesterday morning, asking the
managers to make out lists OF persons whom
they were willing to recommend for the posi-

subject matter was Immediately taken under

York, is perhaps remarkable for nothing so
much as for his hopcfu1ncss. It is no more
difficult for him to vote Mr.. Tileen into the
White House than it was for the :Pickwick fat
boy to swallow veal pic or sink into serene
Sleep. If there be one thing Mr. Masone cali
not conceive, that one thing is q Republican ma
jority anywhere. He is the sole Democrat in the
State who refuses this boon to what are termed
the rural districts, regardless OF the grief such
refusal is calculated 70 create in those unhappy
parts. Very possibly Mr.. Magone regrets that
the canvass is so one-sided, fearing lest Mr.. Til
den meet with too little opposition to really
make his virtues shine. In view of his surpass-
ing confidence, it would be cruel'to recall that
Mr.. Magone also believed Horatio Seymour
would take the nomination for Governor, or to
Inquire into other instances where his hopes
have, sineularlv enough, failed to agree With
the actual results. It was at least refreshing
to talk with Democrat so free from doubts,
and to discover how the enemy proposes to cut
and quarter the Republican host.
"You regard New York as certainly Demo-
cratic State2F
II should say did-and By more than SO, 600
majority, sir. Anywhere from that figure up,
but not one down."
"On the reports already received from every
election III Inc 9LsttC- LII PAA Aho0
publicans are going to vote for 1ilden."
"I1ow about the Democrats, on the other
hand, who are going to vote for Haves!"
awe admit that there is detection IN some
counties where the canal influence exists. But
that amounts to nothing In comparison to our
gains. I tell you squarely, VIC don't want canal
thieves or rogues OF any stamp to work with US.
It is pure party that is to sweep this state"
It was easy to agree with Mr. Magone there.
That Wis what Gov. Mccormick told me over at
the Republican National Headquarters: But the
statcment would not interest Kelly or Morrissey
any more than it would the leaders, equally I'M
maculate, OF the Ctklgo Democracy.
q How much majority. Afr. Magonc, do you
espect the rural districts to give Hayes!"
L N1aioritv7 don't expect them to give any,
cir, believe Mr.. Tilden will come down to
New York City with the State in his pocket"
T1erc was really no purpose to say ANYTHING
otter this with respect to New York. Before
finishing other topics, however, Mr.. 31agone said
in apology: IT did not, of course, mean that
there would be no majority at all for Mr.. Hayes
north OF New York County; but it will be only
nominal, you know" ...
In case q trGe Of Gno00 votes or so is Mr..
Magone's idea Of a nominal majority. l,c would
not be Understanding the Republicans by
more than 5000 or 10000; but lie did not
descend to figures on anything less than the
national canvass. Neither his houefu]ness nor
his attention are confined to the Empire State,
though he differs somewhat from the National
Comuittee's view. Here is Mr.. Magone's slate:
Necessary for choice, 1S5 yotes-
, 1876-10-29

The Republicans Of illinois, noted for their
generosity, will not fail to be grateful that Mr.
Magone, Of New York, allows an obscure Vest
crn man named X. B. Hayes no less than 65
Waeonc. when one reflects that he is not COM
ncllcd to do it, and that he puts Mr.. Tilden'gs
New York majority at, say 10000: whereas, =!

mittee, is Happily less hopeful and more reason
able. His slate elects Mr.. Tilden, to be sure,
mt does not fail to recognize the fact that the
great "Reio1mer' is not the only candidate be-
fore the country. Mr.: King considers lss votes
Republicans, and 81 as doubtful. The National
Committee make out this list:

this.
Leading Republicans say that at no time has
Inc outlook been SO thoroughly bright here. ,
IT MEANS SOMETHING
when such men as John Jacob 'Astor, Moses
TAYLOR, William E. Dodge, Jchn A. Stewart, and
James Lennox declare themselves for Hayes be-
cause they think the election Of Tilden would
be unsafe. Perhaps the most remarkable con-
version Of the campaign here is that Of Mr.,
Astor, who has hitherto stuck to the Demo
cratic party through all its fll-dongs. Now, as
man with immense business interests TO guard,
hc Is forced to come out in opposition
to all his former associations. Mr..
Lennox, who never signed q call for political
meeting before in his life, is among the signers
for the grand meeting to be held ut Cooper
Union "Wednesday night, when the Hon. Will
lam II. Eyarrs will spoak It is expected that
William E. Dodge will preside. This will be
likely to stop the claim Of the Democrats that
he is for Tilden and Reform. The Reform part
is right, but Mr. Dodge puts
HAYEs' NAME IN PLACE OF r1LDEg's.
In the Eighth Congressional District,
the only sure Republican district in
New York County, but which is now
represented by Democrat, Elijah
Ward, by reason Of a bad Republican nonina-
tion, an exceptionally strong candidate has been
secured in the nomination Of Col. Anson G.
NcCook, who is popular as he is competent.
There is little doubt that he will redeem the
district.
In the Eleventh Congressional, known as the
Murray Hill District, the Republicans are GER
tain to nominate l.. r. Morton, the widely
known banker OF the house of Morton, Bliss &
Co., Of New York, and that Of Morton, Rose &
Co., in London. With Mr.. Morton the Repub-
1icans will be pretty sure to gain
the district. The Democrats have renomfnated
Willis, the present. Congressman, who Is
VIGOROUSLY unfit for the position, and whose
election was due to blundcr and nothing else.
ONE OF THE SINGULAR EVENTS or THE CAM
rA1GN,
when it is considered that it took place here, is
the reputation of Tildcn by one Of the largest
Democratic clubs in the city. Last night the
club met at its headquarters, corner of Twenty
first street and Second avenue, and pulled down
the Tildcn and Hendricks banner, md hosted
one bearing the names of Hayes and Wheeler,
Morgan and Rogers. Then the members went
inside and passed this resolution unanimously:
Be IL rtsofrtd, Tint VIC indorsc the regular Re-
publican nominations for President, Rutherford
E. Hayes; for Vice-President y. 4. Wheeler: for
Governor, Edwin D. Morgan; for Lieutenant Gov
eroor, Sherman 5. Rogers
Straws OF this character indicate something,
and furnish Mr.. Tildcn food for thought.
