For the past forty.eight hours NJ. lay
Gould has been using the Western Union
Telegraph to spread abroad through the
United States false information as to the
election in the State Of New York.
The proof of this is well known to every
intelligent journalist in New York. 1t is
the same thing that Mr. Gould did in Oc-
tober with reference to the election in Ohio
when not one specific statement capable of
verifcation on exposure was lowed to pass
over the Western t'non wires and when
these statements were shown within two
days to be conspicuously and Intentionally
false. As TO the vote OF New York the
plot has been nearly identical and has
been carried out with the same persistence.
The returns are sent out IN Jumps
Of elections districts which are named, can
not be identified and the publication Of
these been made in sums and at times 10 suit.
Occasional pronunciamentos from the
Blaine committee have shown that the re-
turns from comparatively remote
pointy have been received prompt
ly while those from points
whitman hours ride Of the Western Union
building have been held bsck. Meanwhile
there have been long breaks during which
no returns Whatever have been gi"en out
and these intervals have been used to
issue boasting bulletins in vague terms
as to the general result. All the time the
dispatches in the Offices of real newspapers
from county committees Of both sides and
from county officers holding the
official returns have steadily con-
tradic:ed both the doctored figures
Of tue GCud men and the bulletins
of the Blaine managers The motives OF
the Gould Blaine combination are obvious
They have determined to keep back the
truth, to confuse the public mind and to
influence the passions Of their followers or
dupes, in hope that by fraud - and
corruption in Virginia. West Virginia or
Indiana. they could secure enough electoral
votes to dispense with New York. They

letter from Wm. NJ. Eyarts to Senator Jas.
Alhill:
In response 10 many inquiries aud re-
quests made me from al parts of the State,
| take the liberty in this form Of making
public my readiness and desire 10 be consid'
cred among the candidates for election By
the Legislature as Senator from this
State. In asking the favor and
support Of Republican Senators
and Assemblymen for this dis
tinguished and responsible representation
OF this great state in the senate OF the
United States have no occasion to qualify
or restate the principles Of the republican
PARTY, or NV own hearty acceptance and
nndoubting maintenance of those principles.
The republican party in its declaration OF
its opinions and It's purposes, has never
used language obscure, uncertain or framed
in double sense. The last appeal OF the
great political parties to popular suffrage,
especially the political sentiments and
cardinal objects Of the republican party,
have been presented to the country without
conceameLt or discrimination.
In this last, as in every earlier struggle
to maintain the supremacy Of the RepuOh-
can policy in the government Of the coun.
try. | have given every aid in my power to
the support OF the policy, doctrines and can
didates of the Republican party. The gen
rral sense of the Republicans OF this State
looks upon the SenatOrship now open to
election as Of unusual Importance. They
regard this as important 10 the great poht-
zeal and material interests OF this Stale.
They regard as important TO the whole
body OF Republicans Of the coun
Try. the place and share that the Senator's
of this State shall take and maintain in the
increasing warfare with the Democratic
party, in which every Republican is enlisted
end which will be persisted in until the
Republican policy and Republican
statesmen shall regain authority in Con
eyess and the Presidency.
In this critical iUnctre in the affairs Of
the country, and in the interests Of the Re
