The PrOspcct---Letter from a Rich
mOnd MAN i'm New York.
New YORK, October 26,

NEW YORK, Oct0Der 70, 1916.
Dear Dispatch: have carefully investi-
gated the situation here as far as I have had
opportunity. / have seen and talked with
leading men from Connecticut and New
Jersey, and from every section Of this State.
They are jubilant. They have no doubt OF
the result. 81. =. s..s-
New York is safe beyond doubt at $4,000,
New Jersey by over 5000, Connecticut by
a certain vote. The betting in the pool
rooms-that sure barometer of the opinions
of the coolest and most careful observers,
the sporting mems to 1 on Tilden
for New York, 100 to 40 on him for New
JERSEY, 100 to so on him for Connecticut
believe their Opinion will be justified by
the result. ] came here utterly incredulous
as to the result in these States, forI believed
them entirely uncertain; but | cannot re-
sist the evidence that comes to me from all
quarters. The political organization is
something we know nothing OF. They have
returns from every school district giving
the names and post-ofices OF Republicans
who will vote for Tilden. They have lists
OF the voters everywhere to be registered
and who have been registered, and every
man will be registered. The registration in
this city will be near 1S0,000-the largest
ever known--and' they count on going out
OF New L 0rk, Brooklyn, ana hlngs county,
with over 10000 majority. ~ ~, ,,....',,
The quarrel between Tammany and anti
Tammany helps ,Tilden. Both sides will
show their zeal by voting for him, and he
has no warmer friend than Green, the anti
Tammany candidate.
i; While these three States are absolutely
certain, there is still doubt, as shown by the
betting on the general result. In. it Hayes
stands even with. Tilden. / have tried to
understand the cause OF this, and think it
arises from the fear that enough southern
votes will be counted ont to elect Hayes.
There is q loose feeling that il it be neces-
sary the votes OF North Carolina, Missis-
sippi, Louisiana, and Florida will be count
ed for Hayes, or thrown out.
This doubt, L think, lis all that prevents
Tilden's election being conceded.
i found here o great cutlery about the
solid South, and that it meant payment OF
alllosses incurred by all of us ut the hands
OF ederal troops during the war. SIS
This issue has been pushed with great
ylgor. Itis the staple OF Blaine speeches
and the editorials sof the Tribune. They
have printed q foolish bill introduced into
the last Congress by Nv illiams, Of Tennes-

The New York Tribune publishes CHAM
BERLAIN's ISLANDERS OF the people OF South
Carolina. The flies of the Tribune furnish
ample testimony in refutation of the lies
which CHAMBERLAIN has only reproduced.
He has not the credit for the ingenuity OF
inyenting them; but he is the dirty conduit
for conveying the inventions OF those who
made the lies ready to his hand. Against
the letter OF tue bishops and others Of
South Carolina CHAMBERLAIN's defamation
is no more than idle wind with all reasona-
bic and intelligent people.

The RAIDS FIXING TO CARRY MISSISSIPPI
BY FoRcE.-A political meeting was held at
Port Gibson, Miss, on Saturday last, at
which both parties were represented; but
the Republican speaker, James Lynch, CO.
lored congressman, declined to speak on the
ground that he was insulted by the Demo-
Gratis. A colored Democrat then made q
speech, during which row was COM
menced, it is alleged, by the Republicans
(who deny the charge), and the meeting
broke up in disorder. Thetsheriff OF the
county, with a large posse, undertook tore
store order and arrest rioters, when the Re-
publican negroes, under United States Depu..
ty Marshal Spratt, were .nanGuvred into
an ambush, from which they fired upon the
posse, but doing no damage The latter
returned the fire, 'wounding one icolored
man. They then captured several Others,
andfthis endedthe disturbance. Theibiaeks
were alltaImed at the time OF the fight, haya
ing previously secreted their weapons near
the town. The whites, under the sheriff
were mainly unarmed.f, On the strength OF
heaffair Deputy Marshal Spratt announces
that there is Terrorism in the county, and
says the Republicans cannot vote unless
protected by United States troops. It-nay
be added that although there lisa company
of United States troops at Port Gibson the
commanding officer did not,soe that their
services were needed, consequently did not

The Gold Hill NeWs, one of the
stanchest Republican papers in Ne
vada, and which, by the way, has
Hayes and Wheeler nailed at its mast
head, reviewing the possibilities ami
probabilities of the st. Louis Conven-
ton, pays Governor Tilden the follow
ing well-merited compliment
In a long professional and public
life. he has not committed one act
which eau be looked upon AS a blem-
ish to his character. lie has fought
corruption in the ranks Of his own
party, and finally succeeded in crush
ing it out OF existence in his own
state. He is a consistent Democrat on
principle, but he was never Il ''copf err
head" and he vas always as eager TO
put down fraud coinmitLed by his own
party as was ever Republican to eX-
pose it. New York City and State
owes more To him 70 day than to any
other one man. 1t Is precisely this
which is going to injurs his prospects
at st. Louis. He was III Of the most
EARNEST workers in the campaign
against the Tammany Ring, and it was
to his efforts, joined to those of Charles
O'Connor, that the fall OF that corrupt
combination was due. Tammany has
never forgiven him for this, and never
will forgive him. The organization
has never, since his attack. been
strong enough to rule New York, hut
it still exists, and managed in the
Utica convention q secure a number
of delegates % ST. Louis. These dele
gates are pledged to vote against Sam
uel j. Tilden to the bitter end, and
they will do it. They are sworn to
prevent his nomination, and they will
do this if they eau.
There are many other things which
will initiate against Tilden. He is a
hard-mnney man, and this fact will
array Ohio and the sOit-mOney West
ern States against him. But his great
opposition will come from this miser-
able remnant OF Tammany Hall in
New York. 1t is very difficult to non
mate a man in any convention, unless
the party in his own State Is unani-
nous in his Endorsement. Still it is
possible, perhaps probabie, that Tilden
will overthrow his rivals and secure
the nomination. If he does, and the
party unites in his cordial support, we
shall have an old-time fight, principle
against principle.

grievo1S faults is ''getting stuck" af-

same rule does not apply so strongly
to men who go crazy after light-head-

men are naturally silly, and are more
easily deceived by fascinating appear

defense for either. There are some
women who make a practice of falling
