TILDES's plurality over Hayes in
New York in 1876 was $500. Then
Tammany was in the dumps because
of his nomination; now the same
clique is unanimous for Hancock, and
the certainty of his carrying the State
and of his election is ably shown by
the Brooklyn Eagle, which says that
if the registration already effected in
the two great conservative cities in.
dictate any thing, it indicates a major
iiy which may reach 100000 for
Hancock. Since 1876 the population
in the two cities has increased a quar-.
ter of million, and their voting pop.
ulation has increased by at least
10000. A week ago the State was
reasonably certain TO give a majority
of $4,000 for Gen. Hancock. Does
anybody believe that a change OF
5000 in Indiana is going to change
$4,000 votes in New York-the State
which has not a single interest that is
not interviewer with that of every
State from the Potomac to the Gulf
of Mexico9 New Jersey and Con
nectieut share in political sympathy
with New York. and the first named
State has stood firm again and again
for the conservative party when even
New York faltered. That these three
States will vote ON the same side this
year may be said to be conceded by !
both parties. Certainly Hancock has
an even chance with Garfield for the
six electoral votes of California.
Hayes was given that State in 1876
by majority of 2,73S, and it was
shown by committee of the House
