4 few gentlemen who are Republicans &C.
casionaliy, and some who are Assistant-Deno-
Gratis constantly, continue to announce win
rather supclfuous loUdness their intention 10
vote against MIR Cornell, or 10 vote Tor the
Democratic candidate. There Is no occasion
Cor any quarrel with these gentlemen. IL
NAV be presumed that they know what
they want. and have counted the cost OF me
defeat which, 10 all appearance, viii certainty
reward their efforts. Mr. Cornell VIII be
elected the next Governor of this state, III
All human probability, with or without inc
| aid of the men whose ambition it is 10 mani
fest their superiority to party influences

course which they have taken, however Is
precisely that which Will leave them the least
ros>ibe influence in the future, and II they
are wise they viii find opportunity to change
il before the election. These gentlemen can
20, believe that tue country viii he Dehe-
| flied by The announcement and strenghch-
/ inc og tie extreme Southern element III the
| Democratic party. They 90 not desire INC
sDece.s of rcpusiiators. Yet, If their votes
were not wasted. like water spilled upon 'Hr
sand. ,hey would only promote the s"ocess 81
the very faction which mon OF this stamp are

Governor Robinson, they say, is man OF
honest purrose Be it So, for argument

OF the 1ildtn Ring IN Ncw-loik. 1t wo'li"

Uui flat Is rot the worst. The success Of
+ Governor Robinson in New-IOrk, we've that
pos,iil,, would mean tie nomination OF Mr.

t,,.i,.s and Western Iepudiators. That De
cannot be nominated as a trustworthy hard

/ beaten IN Nsw-York, the Southern Democrats
/ will bc forced 10 choose between an open le-
pu,iltor from the West and sincere and
honest har5-moucy Democrat like MIR. Bay
ard: ard we think 40 man who cares for the
pub,ic credit can doubt which it would be
more desirable TO have tina; party nominate.
n .his same NJ. Tillcn, who is willing to
omen his barrel imparnlly for soit-moncy
Chase in Maine and fora hard-money Robinson
in New-Yolk, could be put ont Of the way,
the Democratic party would be obliged by its
nomination TO take sides, without reserve, for
or AGAINST the public credit. If against, II
would be beaten soundly and would de-
serve its heating. If it should nominate a man
like Mr. Bayard, for example, there would al
least be great reason to believe that its tri-
unuh would not impcril the National honor.
There would De very strong reason for oppos-
in. such candidate. Bat there would not
be the feeling chat a mere trickster might be
chosen rs the.insiUmcnt of the most danger
on, faction now to be found in the political
! arena.
To those who realize the danger of the coun-
try from the law-dciyiug and revolutionary
course of the Solid South, there are still
stronger reasons for refusing TO cast any vote
that might help to give the South control of
the National Government. But the men who
profess TO believe that the election OF Nh
! Cornell is undesirable are, in the main, men
who refuse to see that law-defying and law
| breaking are as rampant at the South to-day
~ at any time since Lee surrendered. They
ought TO consider that every vote cast against
| the Republican ticket this year is vote to
prevent n settlement of the financial questions
on their merits, and TO enable Mr.. Iilden as
candidate Of the Solid South and the Tepu-
dating Democracy of the West, TO claim that
he can tran> SER the votes of this State, New
Jersey and Connecticut to the party which
dominates him, 10 matter what its purposes
or convictions may be upon questions vital to
the Nations honor and prosperity.
