next year, 1875, Hayes was made candi-
date for Governor against Allen and
was elected, after one Of the hardest fought
contests ever had in the State, by s,me-
thing over 5000. In 1876, the Presidential
year, the Republican State ticket was
elected by about 5000, and Hayes received
the same majority. In the following year
Bishop was elected by $1,000. In 1878 the
Republicans recovered the State by about
3,000 and in 1879 Foster carried it by II, 900.
In these seven years the Democrats have had
one majority which goes ahead of any
thing the Republicans have had, and other
Of 1900, equal to the highest the Repub-
licans have had. A majority Of 800 made
gain Of about 10000 votes" These fig
urcs, Mr.. Bishop said, induced him to be-
lieve that there was nothing reliable about
the State, and that with good ticket that
will harmonize all conflicting elements and
proper zeal and work, the State can be
carried by the Democracy.
