voted the Republican ticket These re-
ports are confined to known cases, and
therefore furnish good evidence of the
drift of public sentiment, ta
DO your reports indicate that many
Republicans will vote the Democratic
ticket~ a7
"They show" answered Mr.. Magone,
VERY large aouessions TO our ranks from
the Republican party, There is scarce
" town in the State ia which some
Republicans have not come over to MS.
In some towns where there are five
hundred voters, the accessions number
from twenty five to fifty. Many Of
these Republicans have joined Tilden
and Hendricks clnbsi others have
openly declared their change of politl
cal relations In addition to these
there are many who, for various reasons
| maintain nominal connection with thu
Republican party. but who say that they
shall vote for Governor I'ilden, for the
sake OF having a change in the admins
tration. These accessions," continued
Mr.. Magonc "do not come from the
floating voters, who are usually uncei-
tain up to the day of the election. They
ARE from the best class Of citizens. Most
of those whose MINES have been sent to
us are business men, manufacturers,
merchants farmers and mechanics
1--WE have not received complete re-
turns from every election district in the
State But il the reports to come show
anything like as great change as those
which we have received, the accessions
will amount to nearly, il not fully, ten
per cent, of the Republican vote in the
State"
do you not expect to lose some
Democratic votes in the counties in
which the Canal Ring was once power.

1--WE shall certainly lose some in those
counties" replied Mr., Magone But
in no event dan the loss amount to
5000 votes and that loss willibe more
than balanced by the gains that we
shall make in the agricultural districts
in .thoseN@y eoantieas aSlhe, ialmers,in
those counties are taxpayers. They
know that the Canal King stole more
than $2,O0000O yearly and that Gov.
ernor Tilden, by his exposure. Of the
Ring, saved the people that sum. and
thereby lessened their taxes They
will surely vote for the man who did
them that service. The Canal Ring did
all they could last year; but they did
not defeat the State ticket. They Ger
tainly cannot defeat lis this year"
How much majority do you think
Governor 1'ilden will receive in thi,
StateY asked the reporter
In my opinion" replied Mr., Magone
Governor Tilden will carry this State
by $4,000 majority" al,
At this, Governor TildeD. who hnd
entered the room while Mr.. Magone
was speaking, said 81 don't see how
the majority can be any less; and II
those Western States do what we OK.
pect them to do, it will be larger"
Then, in reply toa question as to the
effect of the result in Ohio and Indiana
on the Presidential election, the Gov
ern6t said "If the Democrats carry
both Indiana and Ohio, the battle will
be easily won. II we carry Indiana and
the Republicans carry Ohio, there will
be good fight all along the line. II
we lose both of those States, we shall
have &c fight hard. But I think we
shall succeed. !" " y ol a'A' .'.''' la-.N
The Governor added that Indiana and
Ohio shenld go Democratic. "Advices
from Illinois" said he, indicate that
changes similar to those which are 90
ing on in this State are taking place
there. If that is so, should thinl,
there ought to be similar changes Il,
Ohio and Indiana" g f''
