THE STATE CANVJSS.

The Robinson Reform campaign means
$4,000 year for the Robinson family.
The animus of the Democratic party is well
illustrated by the candidate IL Is supporting for the Leg
slaure. Two OF the nominees fer tho Senate are ex
rebs colonies. They John Il. FellJws Ia the Xxi
District. and james j. Franklin IN the XVIII District.
A number of the most prominent lawyers in
Albany have agreed among then selves not to defend
any who attempts 10 brbe sn eector on election
day and 10 unite prosecuting any who nteriercs
with the rights OF attempts 10 cheat IN count
Ing the ballots. This - n cOmnendaoe enort IN the in-
tercst Of honest elections.

to defeat Hon. Abram T. Smith for County Judge,

party aud MS candidates. The Republican Comfy Com
mtee and officer OF the county and the delegates

rOversy."
The sudden death of General Joseph Hooker
lends peculiar interest to the letter written by him
few days ago General Joseph b. Carr, the Republican
candidate for Secretary OF STATE. The announcement
OF Geuera Hookers determination TO vote for General
Carr derives It's significance from the facs that
the former Democrat. The letter as follows:

acter under circumstances in which not nkely to

MaiOr-General."
There is conspiracy-it seems to deserve
that name-in the XXvIIIth Senatorial District 10 de-
feat the Republican nominee for Senator, the Hon.
George p Lord A number OF disafected Republicans.
who personally hostile to Mr. Lord. have secretly
combined with the Democrats. and these two factions
using Tilden's money 10 elect Democrat In this
strong Republican district. The public used Is
the publication OF charges against Mr.. Lords course In
the Assembly some years ago. IL Ia too late meet
these in the Republican weekies of the district
and the conspirators hoping therefore, that the
truth will not catch up with the lie before election 1t
ought TO be necessary, and probably is neces
sary, TO urge all those Republicans OF the XXyIIIth
Senatorial District who sincerely desire the welfare OF
the party vote for Mr.. Lord. and TO do everything
in their power to elect him. The fact that is
the special object OF Democratic animosty should en-
title him to the particular favor OF Republicans, aud
the fact that the loss OF e Republican this
Fall the loss OF the United States Senator IN
1881, should be sufficient 10 bring every Republican
to Mr.. Lords support. Let the Republicans
OF the XAVllth resolve that the honest people OF the
strict shall elect the Senator themselves; that Tdens
money shall not do It. IL they the polls In
this spirit, the Democracy will be routed.
