his own State, had the strongest pledges to
the country, not simply of his will, but of his
power to meet emergencies of all Sorts No
wonder that all the ferocity of the wolves
and tigers who feed upon the offal of the
public crib should be vented on him. Their
passion only goes to prove the injustice of
their viruleace. 1t should be in the mind of
calm observers the most convincing proof of
the wisdom of this choice. Mr. Tiden is not
called upon to promise what he will do in cer~
tain emergencies: what he has lone is bet
ter pledge than all the words in the dictions
airy. Another strong reason in my mind for
preferring MI. Tilden in this emergency is
that a new and clear policy towards the
Southern States may be inauguratcd, free
from all the obstacles hitherto raised by the
class of public men of the North, who
live by ingratiating themselves with every
element remaining among us of the evil pas
sions raised during war. So long as this
course is tolerated, there will be no real har-
mony between the sections. This is favora-
BILE moment for stamping this spirit Of MAJ
Lightly under our teet, by selectinga man
whose fairness and impartiality may ren>
state mutual confidence and ultimately unite
the whole people. We need this very much
in the present low condion of our public
| affairs. We need more to fortify the views
of our position by foreign nations. In short,
the time has come for the Inauguration of a
wholly new and. vigorous policy by thor
oughly competent and experienced man.
That man, hope and believe will be found
| in Samuel j. Tilden. l remain very truly
yours.

| Colorado Election.
| DENVER, Oct. 4.-There is no longer any
doubt that the Republicans have carried the
State by majority of about two thousand,
and official figures show a ratio Of gains by
them which if sustained in sections not yet
heard from, must increase the majority to
$500. The chairman of the Republican
State central committee claims 81 of the &c
counties in the State and three fourths of the
legislature, and the entire State ticket.
Official figures are coming in and show
slightly larger Republican gains and MAORI
ties than last nights dispatches indicated.
Arrapahoe county gives the Republicans
400 majority; Boulder county, 40 majority;
Republican gain in the two, 1852. The
Democratic loss in Las Animas, their strong
est county, will be % per cent. greater than
heretofore estimated, and they lost member
of the legisture in that county. The Demo
Gratis concede the State to the Republicans,
who claim 1000 majority. The legislature
will be twothirds Republican in each house.

never occurred in the State.
