The New York Canvass.

NEW YORK, Oct. "A.
10 the Editor of the Press:
was at the Republican head quarters Fifth
Avenue Hotel, last evening and found our DO
litical friends confident of carrying this State
by at least $4,000 majority. The Republican
majority outside of this city in the State will
not be less than 75,000 probably more. In this
city it is very difficult to decide how much re-
pesting will be done, but the Republicans are
vigilant aud determined that no man shall vote
not entitled to the elective franchise, and that
no repeating shall be DONE They well know
that New York is to be the great battlefield of
this Presidential election. They realize that
the contest is between religious and civil liberty
on the one hand, and oppression, ignorance and
superstition on the other
The registration has been enormous and the
Democrats have made great preparations for
fraud. Tildeu, like good general, is throw
ing all his reserves into New York city. But
the Republicans do not intend to be cheated out
OF the electoral vote of New York if they can
help it. The legitimate Democratic majority in
the city does not exceed $4,000 to 80 000 and any
thing beyond that can only be obtained by cheat
ing In the state outside of the city the Repub-
lcans are gaining votes every day. There has
no4been so much enthusiasm in any campaign
since lS4O. Everywhere the Republicans will
have heavy majorities.
The latest news received here from Florida,
South Carolina, North Carolina and Louisiana,
lead the Republicans to be very hopeful and
some are confident of the electoral vote of
these states. But intimidation may make the
result otherwise. The men who by; their in
dustry could produce 10000 tierces OF rice in
the Georgia and South Carolina rice rwamps,
cotton crop of 100000 bales. 80 to 100000
hogsheads of sugar, and very large COIN and
wheat crops may not have the privilege of the
elective franchise, although far more intell-
gent and industrious than the majority of Irish
men in New York city.
Loyal men here recognize that the great
question before the country is the maintenance
and perpetuation of the national government.
They see with alarm that Alabama, Texas
Arkansas and Missouri have stricken from
their constitutions the requirements of para
mount allegiance to the United States and the
Union. Business men view with dread the
possible election of Tiden. They remember
that when the Democratic party went out of
power government had to pay twelve per cent.
interest for money although the country was
prosperous and at peace with all nations, and
they fear a return to that experience. They
dread another financial revulson. Business is
improving, but Democratic success might
throw US back into the Slough of Despond. So
the business men of New York think, and
thinking thus they are laboring earnestly for
the election of Hayes. Their influence will
assure New York to the Republicans Fl

Up in Snyder county, N. Y. they have a
panorama of the Holy Laud, which is enliven-

iugs ago the pugilistic contest became unneces-
sarily warm, and was prolonged to such an
extent that the boy at the crank became dis
gusted and turned on!the next picture, just as
the ninth round was about to conclude. The
consequence was that one of the combatants
was knocked clear through the ruins of Solo
mons temple, and took refuge behind the Sea
| of Gallee just as his adversary kicked his boot

ONE Of the things which no feller under-
stands is Massachusetts politics. In North
ampton the Republican paper bolts the Re-
publican nomination for county treasurer be-
cause the candidate is an undertaken and will
keep the books in room "where there is the
smell of varnish and the sight of caskets."
Furthermore, the candidate is opposed be-
canse he is rich, and because the Office should
go to "some worthy and poor young man."
This is wonderfully frank statement of the
spoils system. 1t has heretofore been held
good to have rich man for treasurer.

DEMOCRATIC journals are fond of pointing
to Alabama as a State which has greatly
prospered since it has passed under white
rule. They proudly say that it has reduced
its debt from $50. 1000, to one half that amount.
1t is true, and in the event of a Democratic
success we may expect to see the same plan
applied to the National debt. Alabama re-
duced her debt by repudiating one half of it,
by forcing her creditors to accept in place
of $1,000 bond at 8 per cent, $500 bond
at four per cent. This is Democratic finan-
cial reform
