THE REPUBLICAN, side OF THE STORY.
They Decline 10 Furnish Similar Letters
from Prudent Motives.

hbl,ed TO a representative OF tho HERALD and alter
thorough investigation their authenticity is established
In his mind. II appears that the same magnificent
organization OF the State which wrought
change Of 100 900 in 1874 is being
RED on with even minute attention to detail
Blanks have been sent TO tho chairman or the demo-
organization Of every election district in tho
sta,e, the head OF which the following is printed:-
PLEASE GIVE THIS YOUR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION.

Mr. Magone, the chairman OF tho committee, says
that they have received some so 600 names OF voters
IN this request, and that the COMMITTEES is
now receiving ut an average 200 letters a day from
their correspondents announcing that such and such
republican doubtful voters have out Tor Til
den and generally giving news Of the most astonsh-
ingy favorable character 1t will DO remembered
that in 1874 Governor Tilden predicted his
joriiy within lew thousand, and If the indications Of
his astute work do not dcIudc him, thon, indeed, it
looks though New York certain for him by
majority, he reported havo claimed to an init
ma,o personal friend, Of
rRoX SIXTY TO SEVENTY THOUSAND.
The newspapers, Mr. Magone s.atcs furnished to
the committee at cost price, and the only other money
spent was for tracts and documents, postage and in
some instances expenses Of campaign speakers.
It has often been said that whichever party would
lose both ohio and Indiana would give up the contest.
Mr.. Magone emphaticay denies this While the pros.
pect In both States he Gays, looks most favorable
the committee will go With its work
II both States lost to Governor Tildcn
ncxt Tuesday. "Evcn then" said he 1--WE are conn-
dent OF clecting Governor Tdcn and base this
pectaton upon your election table published edi
toriay in Fridays HERALD That table is correct
and it shows that AFFORD to lose both Ohio and
Indiana by carrying New York, Connecticut and New
Jersey"
DOUBTFUL
Mr. Magone estimated the doubtful vote in this
State which could be influenced at 81, O00 As the
committee has about So 600 names this would indeed
look though they had opened tho avenues OF argu-
ment and persuasion to ovcry in the whose
vote II is possible to chanse-cerianly remarkable
achievement in tho history Of ecctonoering tactics
which should secure to Governor Tdcn oven II he
fail OF election, the of tho greatest political or
ganizcr Of the age.
