In regard to Folgsr's chance S's
election the New York Evening Pot
(Rspsbliean) u the 18th inst. says:
1.-THE election Of Folger appear to b
utterly Impossible. Even the party
managess know 1t, although they do
not openly ray %. Desections In the
Republican ranks arc enormous, and
they are irremediable. Thew are
mainly among the class Of pe"lss
who have waited long, out having
made Up their minds are not easily
ftightened o. eaioled. Sympathy
foe Folger, personally will no longer
stem the current. The entire prob
lem the Republicans have TO solve b
how to make his defeat useful to the
cause Of good government and the
party too. They should make 1t
such . defeat that everybody must
understand ito meaning. 1t should
b clear that it b not the result Of
Democratic skill or increasing popu-
larity, bat the work Of the Repul'li.

The prosrect Of Democratic success

h eonceded by other Republican
journals Of the State. But 1t 10 feared
by sOine that an honest count cannot
be had - 1t ii charged there b .
scheme on foot to have him declared
elected at Ill hazards. The assertion
seems to be prompted rather from BE-
liet than from positive evidence. II
b Urged that the National leaders,
cemprshes,ding fully the disadvant-
sgeo which Democratic SUCCESS would
impose upon their party At the next
geaeFsl election, have resolved to
keep the State government within
Republican control and to that end
have enlisted the strength, influence,
patronage and money Of the Admin
istrstion which will he available

that there really exists no ground for
the suspicion.

IN The future abstain from eneooras-

the Republican party during the y.

The .act b that the Republicans have
been compelled to make SO many
concessions to their allies that they

They have taken u little more than
