NEW YORK CITY, Oc

NEW YORK CiTf, Oct' 20 lc|o'
No use talking about the Centennial-anybody
can talk about that. Have run over here, by
way of change
We have heard more politics talked in this
City than in all other places since we left home
and strange as it may seem in this Democratic
hot-bed nearly all the talk has been in favor of
Hayes and Wheeler. But, be it known, nearly
all the business men and respectable tradesmen
(or large majority of them) in this city are Re
publicans. 1t is the vast ocean of riff-raff that
you find about the wharves, in the low dens, on
the streets and by-ways, and in police Uniforms,
that multiplied by voting early and often, COM
pose the great Democratic majority. The we'll
known features represented in Nast's cartoons,
on the chapc that make New York strongly
Democratic. The registration of votes in this
city is COMPLETED, and foots up almost 100000.
At least 10000 are fraudulent and intended to
overcome the honest Republican majority in the
State. But the Republicans are awake, and say
they will carry New York in spite of Tildens
Reform" frauds in this city.
Merchants and others are gathered here from
all parts of the country and the general feeling is
that Hayes will be elected. 1t is confidently
believed that he will carry New York, Indiana,
and New Jersey, and two or three Southern
States. 1t is remarkable fact, that the Demo-
Gratis, in their most sanguine counts, have never
put down Pennsylvania or Illinois as Democrat
ic, or even doubtful. Did party ever elect
President without even hope or IN effort to
carry Pennsylvania And if Pennsylvania is
hopeless, what is their chance in the adjoining
State of New York;
A word as to Peter Cooper and his party"
To speak Of the Peter Cooper party over here
excites laugh. Nobody claims that it is any
thing but trap to fool Republican Greenback
men into wasting their votes. The Democratic
Greenbackers only "letting on" to induce
Republicans to waste their votes, while they will
vote for Tilden.' The Democratic Greenbackers
in Ohio and Indiana veted the Democratic State
tickets while the Republican Greenbackers stood
to their ticket. Itis even now asserted that Sam.
Cary is advising, the Democratic Greenbackers
to vote for Tilden, while he is keeping up the
canvass, in order to induce Republicans to waste
their votes. 1t is a fact not generally known,
that Congressman Hewitt, the Chairman of Til
denis National Democratic Committe, is a son-in-
law of Peter Cooper; and it is universally accept
ed fact here, that Hewitt is keeping the old soul
on the track as a snare to waste Republican
Greenback votes. But Republican Greenback-
ers throughout the East getting their eyes
oper, and most of them will vote for Hayes
If there are any Republican Greenbackers in
Donipban County, (and We know of several,) we
warn them that they being used Demo-
cratic tools. Having heard no news from home
since We left, We do not know what action the
great Greenback County Convention took; but
ifthey played the part dictated by the Democrats,
who are really engineering the Greenback move
ment, they made themselves simply second fd-
dies or tenders to the Democratic party. This
is their mission, and we surprised that a
few sensible Republicans can be bamboozled into
training in that crowd.
We were on the Centennial grounds, on "Ohio
Day." October 26th, and saw Hayes, and heard
him speak. To say there was jam, would not
fill the bill. 1t was the most enthusiastic crowd
we ever saw-and everybody, from all parts of
the country, was confident that they there saw
the next President of the United States.
We will close, by say ing to the Republicans of
Doniphan County, see that you elect Republicans
to the Legislature. EDITOR
