It Is possible the Republicans may fail
to carry New Jersey, but on the other
hand they have an even chance OF elect
ing their tieketin North Carolina, which
is q very hopeful State, as there are white
enough to afford very con-
protection to the cOlored voters.
And then Indiana may be won for Hayes
in November. The State has not gone
Democratic for President since 1856
twenty years ago. The Democrats have
almost always carried Indiana on the off,
years, and sometimes at the October
election Of the Presidential year, as was
the case in 1872, but at the November
always given It's vote for the
Republican candidates for President, and,
il precedent be followed, will do it again.
But leaving this chance out OF account,
we have named the States that can elect
Hayes without the Electoral votes OF
either Indiana or New York. But the
thing TO do is to carry New York, and
make perfectly sure Of electing Hayes.
With the vote Of New York for Hayes he
can afford 10 lose Indiana, New Jersey,
Connecticut, Oregon, Florida, South Car
olina, Nevada and California, and still be
elected. Hence we call New York the
keystone Of the arch in this contest.
I'VE said yesterday that New York was
going TO poll half million votes Tor
Hayes and Wheeler, and We repeat that
it is mot in the power OF Sam Tiiden, with
all his money, 'withcut the most stnpen-
dous balIot.box stutfing, to beat that vote.
Here are the figures upon which our
belief is based. Commencing with 1850,
the following table exhibits the Repub-
lican vote cast for President at each elec-
ton:
Lincoln 10 1870 6iS
Douglas In 1850
Republican majority 60 lS6

The soldiers in the field not, At this
election, allowed to vote, otherwise Lin.

larger.

It was at this election that Sam Tildeu
and Tammany Hall put 80, 900 frauduient
ballots into The boxes, and swindled the
Republicans out Of theS.ate. II
Greeley In 97s
Republican majority 5ss5
Both Grant and Greeley were consider
ably scratched. For Governor the vote

In The twelve years between 1850 and
1872 the Republican vote ot, New York
increased 81, 1856. Between 1858 and 1872
II increased 26O00. II wiitthis fall At
the very least be 10000 greater than in
1872, as extraordinary efforts will be
made 10, poll the total strength Of The
party, which will carry up the vote for
Hayes and Wheeler TO 10000. And II
there shall be such q universal turnout
as occurred in Ohio and Indiana last
Tuesday it will be 10000 to 5000 above
these figures. But, estimating the vote
at 10000, can the Tildenites exceed that
number by fair means? They must
exceed their vote Of 1879 by 81, 900
TO reach the poll Of the Repub-
hc4ns. They !hEye not got them.
They may rake together $1,000, or even
10000, more votes than they had four
years ago, but that will not win the State.
II they cite SSymonrS vote Of 1868, they
must deduct the 10000 spurious ballots.
II they refer to Tilden's vote OF 4l6, ,39l,
obtained in the etidai.Wave" year ot "a,
they must first substract .therefrom the
10000 Liberal Republicans who helped
them, but who are now enthusiastically
supporting Hayes and Wheeler. All
the talk Of New York going Tor
Tilden against Hayes has been idle
boosting. On Presidential years New
York has been Republican since 1856,
for majority Of its honesty votes was cast
for the Republicans eight years ago, The
United States Supervisors oftAe Election
will prevent n repetition Of the Wholesale
frauds perpe,rated At that time. The con.
cluston Of the whole matter is, that the
Coniederates hal better not begin utter
ing their -Rebel-yeils. .beiere-tbey,are-ou
OF the woods, as New York l. going 70
record her thirty.6ve Electoral votes for
Hayes and WhscleF. g. .
