THE STATE CANVASS.

The Albany Argus is in a state of mind. {:
has found that "a former Republican New-YOrk State
Senator man Of great wealth. is likely to be prosecuted
Oh his income returns" under the recent order OF Com
missioner Raum. Well, what ofitf
Col. Lester B. Faulkner offered resolution
IN the Livingston County Convention the other day.
nOuncng that the war brought to close IL years
ago. Tho information must have been received by tee
graph and Col Faulkner doubt felt constrained to
suppress 1t until now.
There is very friendly feeling in the
Democratic press toward the PrOhibtiOniss. They ges
pleasant notices anu are patted the back party
which sometimes welds the balance OF power and 30
on. This must be pleasant 10 the ProhbltioDists.
In Rochester the other day one Thomas, a
Democratic speaker, referred to Tweed "one moro
sinned against than SHINING" Mr. Fernando Wood says:
"The worst man in the Democratic party Is better
than the best Republican ever knew" Both gentlemen
stand on the st. Louis platform.
Mr.. James PartOn's suppressed book on the
Chicago and Northwestern Railroad Ring is being
passed around in this State having been reprinted by the
Illinois Republican Committee from copy which fell
into the hands of Chicago merchant An explanation
prefaced to the book asserts that Mr. Tden who figures
prominently in its pages succeeded IN having II sup
pressed by an injunction from u KING Judge
The "inteligent cOntrabandn who demands
Tden and Reform usually turns out badly One spoke in
this city the other night Taylor by name who said by
the Rochester papers to have begun his career in that
place as burglar and have been convicted at different
times Of many Oenses To show that his record In poll
ties has been consistent with his record In crime IL
only necessary to say that he announced hmsei as
Democrat as far back rs 1864.
The Syracuse Courier is taking up Thomas
c. Alvorls record in connection with canal claims. It
shows that in the three year % 1870, 1871 and 1872
lac voted for bills for the relief OF canal contractors
making allowances to tho amount Of S5630iO. These
were the bills by which the canal contractors made their
profits Unfortunately, however, the list which The
Courier prints shows that large share OF the awards
went 10 the Ring contractors Syracuse. Its publica
tOn therefore, likely 10 endear Dir. AlvOrd still
more to MS constituents, without regard to party and
probably helps rather than hurts MIN.
1t is not usually the way Of the fervent De-
mocacy ignore their national nominees, but there has
been not little cold neglect OF them during this cam
pagn. The Buffalo Express says: at is singular yet
very suggestive that Of the trusted Democratic
leaders in this State have spoken word during this
campaign that be construed into personal indorsc-
mcnt OF Samuel j. Tden In all their speeches and let
ters this remarkable omission may be noted When Gov.
Seymour wrote his letter declining the Democratic nomi-
nation for he carefully absalned from even tho
mention OF Tilden's name As Gov Seymour and Sena-
tor Herman have now both taken the stump this pccu
ary IN their speeches becomes very marked Gov 5ey-
mOur ut Utica spoke Of the Democratic candidate for
Governor Mr. Lucius Robinson, a. man OK virtue, IN
teligcnce patriotism, and many 0tner good quautlcs,
but said no word OF Tilden barely mentioning MS name
in speaking OF the attacks Of Republicans on his reform
policy OF the past. Senator keruan has SPOKEN IN b-
ao Utica and elsewhere. and in none OF his speeches
do We iud even an auslon TO Mr. l1lden personally
