THE GOTERNOR'S CAMPAIGN.

II is apparent from all accounts that Governor
Hughes's trip into the 4fth Senate District has
improved the prospects of a Republican victory
at the special election there tomorrow. The
Governors speeches have everywhere met with
hearty response and there is little doubt thai If
he could have given more time from his eNecu-
tive duties to a campaign for an anti-Sambhng
Senator he would have overcome all the obsta-
c,es against him in Niagara and Orleans counties.
These obstacles are undoubtedly serious. Nj
aSara and Orleans together make a close Senate
district, Republican under favorable conditions.
But the conditions are not now favorable. The
