THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN NEW
YORK.
The Chances Of Various Democratic Cnad1-
dates Carefully Considered.

State In n Presidential contest since tho war
were the three vigorously and violently OPP
posed before the Convention by n large num-
Der OF Democrats OF tho State: Horatio Soy
mour in 1863. Samuel J. Tilden In 1876. and
Grover Cleveland in 1884 Tho three Demo-
cratic candidates. and tho only three. to lose
this State In Presidential! contest since tho
war were those who obtained In the nominal.
ing Convention the unanimous support OF all
the New York delegates. and against whom.
in advance OF tho Convention. no serious op-
position was made: Greeley in 1872. Hancock
in 1880, and Cleveland in 1883. In this place.
from which may be said to radiato Just now
the politics Of the Empire State. it is easy
enough to speak with solid information Mt
hand. alike from the declarations OF the mem
bers OF the Legislature gathered from all seq
tions OF New York. and from the visiting dele
cations OF Democrats. well qualified to speak
concerning tho sentiment Of Democrats in
their respective localities.
The largest vote ever polled for a candidate
In this state for any political office in the
choice OF tho people. was 65U.0OO In favor OF
David u. Hill for Governor In 1881 It Is my
belief which observation strengthens and in
vestigation corroborates. that Mr.. Hill is
stronger by 10000 votes in New York than no
was four years ago. and is stronger now in

What constitutes tho strength of Hill? In
the first place. he has tho vigorous loyal. and
untiring support OF all tho working Democrats
In the state. No man since Tiden's time has
been so popular with those upon whose efforts
political party must depend In an arduous
and momentous Presidential battle. There is
