The detection" Of such Rspu blicana
as Generals Batter, Sickles and Jones
was the subject Of conversation few
days ago between prominent Book
lyn politician and Tribune reporter,
when the former suggested that the
numbers OF Republicans who followed
these leaders into the Democratic ranks
were an Insignificant fraction compared
with the thousands Of Republicans who
voted for Tidsn in 1875. why" he I'D
dsd, "There were more Republicans In
my county alone who voted for Tilden
because they wanted . change and
thought 'old Sammy would bring
about prosperity than there are Han
ok Republicans In the whole country.
And 1t will be found that these Tilden
Republicans are all going for Garfield
this year for the very reason that in.
fusnced them then, except that they
wanted good times to come then and
now they want TO keep them. The re-
turn Of these Republicans is going 10
sffos the election in this State much
more than the people anticipate.
The Republicans who voted for Tilden
in 1875 Just about represented his
majority In this State.
''And another thing" he continued.
"The business Democrats who voted
for Tildsn for business reasons are going
to support Garfield for business reasons.

county. OF about s25, 900 raised for

At the silk establishment Of John
Brskine L Co., in Forty ftA-st., II was
stated day or two ago that the twenty
i've men employed there were "Soeial
Democrats" but that the circulation
Of the cards in regard to the wages paid
at nome SD abroad would probably
cause them TO vote the Republican
ticket. The men who had voted for
Tildsn were disguised with the Demo-
Gratis and while they preferred their
new and ideal party 70 the Republican
party, still, Mr.. Erskins said he thought
they would yet vote for Garfield, for
business reasons.

Co., Of No. 70 Leonard st., said his firm
controlled o woollen mill at Lisbon,
Me-, In which sevsnty.dvs men we're
employed. Except . bakers dozen the
employees had already come out for Gar
field and Arthur, and he thought the
remainder would undoubtedly vote the
Republican ticket. Mr.. Milliken said
that tickets in regard to the tariff had
been circulated among them, and he be-
lieved that before November 3 they
would be cured Of their Grsenback
dslusions.-
In his New York establishment the
cards had worked the conversion Olive
men who voted for Tilden In 1876, and
he thought the political regeneration Of
the three remaining Democrats In his
store would be only matter Of few
days.
"Businsss men generally" said Mr..
Milliken, "are very reluctant to have q
change in the administration and feel
that the election Of Hancock would be
a disastrous blow 10 the business pros
psrity Of the country.
One Of the firm Of Messrs. John Ora
ham L Son, manufacturers Of narrow
woven fabrics, at No. $40 West Thirty
fifth st., stated, in reply to Tribune
reporters inquiries, that out Of the
twenty men employed in their estab-
lishmsnt, several Republicans voted
for Tilden at the last election, but this
year they would vote with their party
for Garfield. There was only one Dem
ocrat among their employees, and there
were strong hopes Of his conversion.
The "tariff cards" had just been re.
seived by this house, and would be
tackled up so as to influence the unrs-
psntant engineer.

sary, as it would not be to his interest
