Can 1Slden Carry New York?

There is not doubt on our own mind
on this point provided CoNxL,SG be not the
nominee OF the Republicans. There arc
some peonic here, however, who have such
doubts. We have already given the evil
dencc OF the Lieutcpant-Go vernor OF New
York, and OF the chairman Of the Kings
county delegation to st. Louis. we give
below the testimony OF the president Of the
Utica Convention. We call particular at
ten:ioa to his declaration that TILDEN's
Drcsen. enemies were bis enemies i'll 1874
(Mr. JACOBS was ono OF them thenl, and that
they said he would be defeated by from
twenty 20 fifty thousand votes ~ 4 candi-
date for Governor. The result was his
election by fifty thousand majority. Such
enemies ought to be kicked ont Of court.
They arc dishonest. But We are so pressed
Tor room that VIC are compelled TO cut short
our own remarks. We quote from the
World:
