uniustly and by unlawful means. These
three states are expected by democrats to
cast twcnty.threo electoral votes at tho
coming election for HANCOCK. If they do
il will be in direct defiance of the will of n
large majority of their legal voters These
states will indeed be stolen. The demo-
Gratis know it, and glory in their ability to
do the wrong WADE HAMPTON knows
that the state of South Carolina upon u
vote free from terrorism aud tissue ballots,
would give to General GARFIELD its seven
votes by not less than 10000 majority, and
yet he pledges his state TO HANCOCK by
the largest majority Of any in the union,
and is enthusiastically cheered for his au-
dacity. Governor NICHOLS is equally
aware that Louisiana would cast her vote
for GARFIELD if white league rifle-clubs
would permit it and Mr. LAMAR knows
that 10000 republican majority is stiiled
in Mississippi by the Yazoo methods of his
party.
Knowing these facts, we do not SEQ why
republicans in New York should hesitate to
use their power lawfully to give back TO
the republican ticket the twenty-five votes
unawlully taken from them in the south.
No democratic governor IN the present crisis
would hesitate to use such power If he
possessed it.
If the democrats in the south will allow a
free canvass, an undisturbed discussion, and
will promise an untorrorized election and q
fair count, we ght be willing to refrain from
the use of the power we possess in New York
10 put quietus upon their hopes Of success
before the day ofclection. Let the southern
polEtgians think over this matter They may
-secc'lfh argument in threat of this kind
when column of right reason would leave
them still in their blind obstinacy to cling
to wicked purposes.

TIE OUTLOOK.

The democratic journals are beginning to
suspect that the equanimity of the repub-
licans since the nomination of the demo
cratic ticket comes from real confidence,
and that it is not assumed, as they at first
supposed. Upon looking over the field
they see that the game is not entirely in
democratic hands. They have, it is true,
the southern series of cards, owing to the
successful bulldozng and cheating Of 1876
and the subsequent years. These, however
are almost exactly set off by the cards held
by the republicans in the northern series
the sure republican states aggregating 137
against the sure southern 135 electoral
votes Tins.

A WEAPON wHTcu MAY BE USED.

The rumor that Governor CORNELL of
New York thinks Of calling the Legislature
of that state together in September in order
to put through the bill to change the
method ofchoosing electors is exciting the
wrath Of democratic organs, The thirty
five votes of the empire state are abso-
lutely necessary to democratic success. The
most sanguine of that party cannot figure
out a victory for HANCOCK without them.
The bill proposed at the last session of the
New York legislature, but which was not
acted on, provided that only tho two senator
ial electors should be voted for on the general
ticket, leaving the thirty-three representa-
tive electors to be chosen by the respective
representative districts. Taking the result
in those districts at the last election as a
guide they would return nine democrats to
twcnty-iour republicans.
Even with n democratic majority in the
total vote Of the state us large rs that OBJ
tanned by TILDEN in 1876 the republicans
could safely expect to carry twenty out OF
the thiIty-fye electors from New York by
this plan. This would be death-b blow to
democratic hopes, and the cause of their
wrath is easily seen.
We believe this mode Of choosing electors
| to be more in accordance with the inten-
tons Of tbs trainers of the constitution than
is the present method by general ticket
1t is in accord with the just principle Of
minority representation.
Whether the legislature of New Yorl, i.
to be called upon to adopt this plan or moi
we have no means Of knowing, One thing
however, we are free to say The democrats
have no cause TO complain if this republi
can weapon is used to destroy thei
hopes. There are at least TIRE,
states now held by the democrats

TT cannot DO denied that there is n very
large and respectable portion of tho republic

election Of General Hancock 10 the presi.
dency.- Charlotte IN. c. Observer.
We can imagine condition of things
under which the above assumption might
be true, but it is not, under existing crcum-
stances. No true republican, so long MS
General HANCOCK represents that party
which sympathized with the rebellion, can
desire or even feel comfortable under re.
mote prospect of his election. If General
HANCOCK ran merely as a representative oil
himself, the case might be different, but sc
long us lie bears the standard of party
whose principles, usages and practices arc
merely abominable, the case is vastly
different.

THERE is, no doubt, an honest difference
of opinion between the EUeaing Star and q
