Why Hayes and Wheeler will Garry it
In November.
From the New York Tribune
New York is the battle-ground. Repub-
licans willingly acknowledge il. Democrats
boastiully assert it, confident 10 the ability
OF Gov. Tllden to carry his own State.
What ground ia there for this confidence :?
Nine Democrats out of ten look no further
Than the fact that Gov. Tilden did carry
the State in 1874. Yet his vote at that
time was only 4l6, 1891, and the Republicans
had cast i45,S0l for Gov. Dix two Gears be-
fore. The Republicans who did not vote
elected Mr.. Tilden. IL there is anything
certain, it is certain that very full vote
OF both parties will be cast this year. Now
the Democrats have never polled as large an
honest vote, in the whole history OF the
STATE, as they did in electing Mr. Tilden in
1874, for they We're then reinforced by many
thousand Liberals and Independents. That
he will not get the votes of great pro-
portion of these is known to him, and to
every other intelligent Democrat. A few
hundred support him still, and will do their
best to elect him. But with their aid,
the largest Democratic vote ever really cast
in New York was 90, 4l0 less than the Re-
publican vOAe cast for President Grant in
1872, when the Liberals opposed him.
Where, then, is the reason for expecting
Mr.. Tildens election?
We are told that the Democrats did
once cast larger vote. namely in 1868 1t
Is false. They returned a larger vote, but
over 10000 of it in this city alone was
falsely and fraudulently returned Then
they pretended that liz, 522 votes were cast
for Hoffman in this city. In ali the hot
Contests since, local, State. and Presidential,
with the aid Of thous ,nds of Liberals, the
Democrats have never in a single instance
polled 5000 votes in this city, and they
in 1868 was the work of Tammany repeat
ers, and part was frauduleptly returned,
never having been cast even by repeaters
We are told that Mr.. Tilden ran in an
"oh year" when the full strength of parties
was not polled. Ii was a year OF Congress
sional elections the "tidal wave" for which
Democrats now look in vain was then actu-
ally rolling; and while it was an extraor-
dinarily poor year for Republicans, whose
vote was over $4,000 less than their full
strength, the Democrats polled larger
h nest vote than ever before. II their large
vote was due TO Republicans, they will not
get it again. If the full Democratic
strength was not polled at that eviction, We
do not believe it ever will be. In the fol- |
lowing table, the vote of this city is sepa-
rated from that of the rest Of the State. |
The last column shows that the Republic |
cans outside Of the city, with the Liberals |
opposed to them, polled 3s9,5ll votes for
Gov. Dix in 1872 and 372,I45 for Presi-
dent Grant in 1868. Now that they have
the support of nearly all the Liberals they |
will cast over 100000 votes in and the Sec
ond column shows that they are able to |
poll over $4,000 in this city On the other
hand, the Democrats have been able to poll |
as much as 32S, 955 votes in the country
only once-ior Mr. Tilden in 1874. II they
were able this year, as they are not, to per
petrate once more the infamous frauds of
1868, and to return liz, 80 votes from this
city, they We uld still be beaten:
