pUSH THINGS.

This week begins the last month OF the cam
pagn, the election taking place on the 81 OF
November. The time which remains is long
enough to insure a great victory for the hepuo-
Iican party, but il is not too long. For macn
remains to be DONE The potent arguments
upon which our party so confidently ana 50
Justly relies for success at the polls nave yeV
to be brought home to the intelligence ana the
conscience of all the voters. Arrangements
have vet to be perfected for getting out 1uii
vote in every school district from Long islanu
70 Buffalo. and, in some counties, for guarding
against frauds upon the ballot-box. All TINS
work is vitality important all OF it is in progress
all of II ought to be pushed vigorously during
the rest of the short campaign. The State Com
mittee is hard at work and so are the county
committees, the clubs and the other organHa-
tons designed to conserve the party's welfare.
II they all continue to do their best until the
close of the canvass Senator Fassett will become
Governor Fassett and the Legislature OF 1877
will be Republican in both its branches.
The political situation to-day is certainly full
of encouragement. The tide is with the Repuo-
leans Mr.. Fassett is steadily growing IN pop
ularty. His speeches have made an e1ceilent
impression, have greatly strengthened him ana
the whole State ticket. His presentation OF the
issues which are at the fore in New-York nave
been clear and forcible and stamp him as a born
leader. Until the fight ends he will continue
on the stump doing valiant service for the re
publican cause Mr.. Vrooman, our nominee Tor
acknowledgements, and our other Candidates
upon the State ticket are also gaining friends
az the people become better acquainted with
them. Add to this that the Republicans nave
made record at Albany which, the moro 1t IS
studied and compared with the Democratic
record. the more il commends the Fassett ncket
TO the regard of leve-headed men, and 1t is
evident that our party friends have good reason
to feel that this is going to be Repubhcan
year in the pivotal State Nevertheless' there
is danger in this cheerful outlook. 1t may breed
oyer-confdence, and over-confdence invites de-
feat. Our opponents have put up weak ticket
Tammany Hall is responsible for its head, ana
in Ease it should be successful Tammany would
be potent factor at Albany, the power behind
the Executive Chair This weak ticket stand,
upon weak platform, largely made up OF false
pretences. Still, it would be folly to lose sight
of the fact that the Democracy, in spite OF its
weak Tammany ridden ticket, in spite OF It's
discreditabe platform, in spite Of its scandalous
record in the Executive Chamber and in the
Legislature, is a powerful, resourceful enemy
Long intrenched in power the Democrats pos
sess the advantage which the =" ins" have, and
all the Democratic offices, we may be sure, will
be turned into recruiting stations for the benefit
of Mr. Flower We may be sure, besides that
the contents of that millonaire's big bar'l will
be freely dispensed, and that the saloons, as
usual will raise big fund which will be turned
over to the Democratic Committee to be used
in the purchase of votes.
1t would be great mistake for the Repub-
lcans in any of the counties to ignore these con-
siderations or UNDER ate their significance. There
is no reason why they should discourage Repub-
caas none whatever But they should serve
the excellent purpose of preventing over-conh-
dence from showing itself anywhere along the
line. TIE TRIBUNE believes that We will win
the battle provided we all work our hardest
until the sun sets on the first Tuesday of No
vember. Let us do so. The aim we have in
view, the redemption Of the State from Demo
cratic rule, is certainly worthy of the most
strenuous aaertions of every member Of our
party. Fellow Republicans, one and all, push
nh o.
