THE ELECTIONS NEXT TUESDAY. ‘Public Officers To Be Chosen in Twenty States, THE TICKETS IN THE FIELD. Labor Reform, Prohibition and Women's Rights in Massachusetts. NOMINATIONS IN NEW YORK. Noxt Tuesday the people of over one-half of the Btates of the Union will choose public officers to fill important stations. A considerable proportion will elect their Legislatures, and as many vacancies will occur in the United States Senate carly in 1877, by Teason of the expiration of the terms of members of that body, unusual interest attaches to the political character of the local Senates and Assemblies which will come together for the first time next January, State ofticers are to be chosen in New York, Pennsyl- Vania, Maryland, Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Mississippi, all Laving Governors to elect except New York and Mississippi. In the latter a State Treas- urer and six members of Congress are to be elected, ana it may be added that Mr, Lamar, who is a candi- | wate for re-election to the House of Representatives, | seeks also to secure support in his expectations to succeed Mr, Alcorn in the United States Sen- | ate. ” The elections next Tuesday in Illinois, Tennessee, | Kansas, New Jersey and other States will be confined Yo legislative, judicial and county officers, but in the case of New Jersey the recent constitutional amend- ments adopted require the inauguration of some new features in its government. Matters area good deal mixed in that State owing to‘differences on the school question. New York, Massachusetts and Pennsylvania | bave prohibition tickets before the voters, Wendell Phillips leads the labor reformers for Governor in Mas- sachusetts, and the anti-monopolists in Minnesota, hay- 4ng adopted a platform in favor of the widest expansion of the currency, accept the democratic nominee for Governor, who happens, in common with his party, to ‘be in favor of hard money. A brief statement, com- | | mencing with New York, of the prospeci# in each Of | iniuence of the Grangers has consiaerably declined, ‘the principal States is given in order that an intelligent | Judgment may be formed as to what the result will be mext Tuesday, NEW YORK. It being the general impression that the democratic ‘Btate ticket would be successful at the approaching election, the chief interest of the campaign has centred on the contest for judicial and municipal officers in the city New York and the fight between Tammany tnd that sociéty’sepponents, The large pajority of over 60,000 given Governor Tilden last year seems to have had the effect, notwithstanding Hayes’ success in Ohio, to satisfy all that Mr. Bigelow, who runs for the most important office to be filled, will be chosen. Both the democrats and republicans have declared against ex- pansion and in favor of an early resumption of specie payments, Appended will be found a list of candidates for State functionaries, for members of both branches of the Legislature, “GENERAL TICKET, NO, 2—STATE NOMINEES—DOX ¥iRsT CANVASSED.

PuiLavenruta, Oct, 28, 1875, Pennsylvania just now 1s in the white heat of one of the flercest political campaigns that sha—the Keystone of States and the index of the national” purpose ever experienced, Up to within a very recent period Penn- sylvania has been a republican State, uncompromis- ingly and continuously so, Last year, on one of the lightest votes ever polled, and by one of the smallest majorities candidates were ever elected, the democrats captured the Secretury of State's office, the Licutenant Governorship and the lower house of the Legislature. In Philadelphia, which was and is the Gibraltar of re- publicanism, they took the outer posts of their enemies by reducing the Coroner's and District Attorney's offices. When they entered the campaign this year it was with the highest hopes and the most confident expectations, Their opponents had not only sinned, but blundered, which is a graver political In Philadelphia they had been convicted ot the grossest frauds, and notaday has lapsed since without bringing to light some fresh specimen of ofll- With all the advantages the democracy has signally, and your correspondent believes, fatally failed. The ticket nominated at Erie was a good one, Pershing for Governor is acknowledged, even by his enemies to bo Piollett; but the first, in a canvass that ought to be all fire and dash, is as cold as an iceberg, and refuses to | take the stump and make an aggressive fight, while Piollett is all ‘fuss and feathers,” avery Pistol of a politician, whose nose is every day pulled by some re- was unfortunate. ‘There is nothing inspiring about inflation, That cock won't fight as well in Pewnsylvania as it did in Ohio. The other njghit I was in Concert Hall, one of the largest places for public gatherings in | the city, and listened {or an hour and a half to Gov- ernor Hendricks, of Indiana, He was unusually elo- quent, and bad undoubtedly prepared himself to win the plaudits of his nearers and the votes of the demo- cratic politicians around him in the next national con- *Wention of his party. But the finances, the money question, the inflation plank in the Erie platform, were the burden ot his song, and it fell as flat upon the cars of his audience as the tune “Darhng, Tam growing old,” by a hand organ would have done, When an- other and a local speaker camo upon the stage he was greeted with rapturous applause, but when, instead of addressing himself to State and city issues, he branched | off into the inevitable question of inflation, his hear- | ers at once grew apathetic, and the audience was soon | measurably thinned, 3 Despite these things the democrats are making a bold | fight, The State treasury and the government of Phila- | deiphia yield whenever attacked and supply the most | Valuable ammunition, ‘The first has for years been | notoriously prostituted to the basest private and politi- | cal ends. “Paying a small and almost nominai salary, it has been the great prize of Pennsylvania politics, and contended for in contests in which money lias been ex- pended by tens of thousands of dollars. "This is owing, of course, to the fact that there is always a large “un- expended balance” fu the treasury vaults. Under the law a conscientious treasurer and sinking fund com- by the way, of the Gover- immediately apply these moneys to the extinguishment of the State debt, But not having conscientious treasurers or commissioners, “the unexpended balance” in the treasury, sometimes amounting to $3,000,000, from a time t)'which the memory of the present generation runneth back not contrary lias been loaned to bankers, the interest going into the pockets of the Treasurer ot Deing made the “margin” for his immense specula- tons in Third street, Philadelphia, and Wall street, New York. Of all the State treasurers Robert W. Mackey, the present one, who has held oflice for four terms, has done the most to maxe these practices pop- ular, and in the most unblushing manner, A commit- tee of the Legislature, appointed to investigate his ac- counts, was the other day boldly defied by him, and in answer to its report he has just issued a rejoinder, | Wich js not so much a defence ‘of himself as it is an | attack upon the committee and the honesty of its mo- tives, The State Treasury ring, then, is one of the chief | objective points of the democratic campaign, éad one of the most vulnerable. ‘The other is the city govern- ment of Philadelphia, An; ription of its corruptions is impossible, simply because the H#RkaLD could not con- tain them. Every department, every branch is tainted with fraud. The “Mysterious Pilgrims,” a society similar to the Americus Club under Tweed, hold all the offices and nominate all the candidates of the repup- licans. Its members steal every item of public prop- erty and even the cobble stones from the wretchedly paved streets of Philadelphia, as was proved by a re- | cent investigation, This year there has been a decided revolt agaiust them, and the Union League Club and | form Association, both powerful political associ- ave nom- league and of the candidates they ifices. And this brings me to the question Both parties are, of course, confident. Mr. Chairman fortably entrenched in Chestnut street, next door tothe Post Office and over a well appointed “sample room,” believes that Hartranft will have 30,000 to 40,000 ma. Said he to the Heranp correspondent, “we will come to Philadelphia with 15,000 majority, eee fon, B. Wright is not so precise about his figures, whom he marshals, Woe have struck off 10,000 fraudulent names: in the registry in Ph phia,”” he said, “and the ntry is ablaze with enthusiasta for Pershing and Piollett.”” Whst Mr. Wright says about thecountry, will win. Both parties in this State have nearly completed their Rominations for the various offices to be filled in each of the twenty-one counties, None are behindhand | except Essex county, whose nominations for the House of Assembly will not be completed until Monday next. The election will take place on Tuesday next, | and the various offices to be filled are as follows:—Kight State Senators, sixty Assem- blymen, 4 sheriff im each county and the usual number of coroners, besides in Essex and Hudson | counties a few lucal posts of honor and lucre. No ques- tions of national politics have entered into the contest, Both parties stand onthe same ground in relation to the financial question, they being in favor of hard money, The following is a complete list of the nominations for the Legislature.

THE TWENTY-FOURTH DISTRICT AGAIN, A Tidal Wave Threatening to Overwhelm Selk- reg and the Republican Assemblymen, Copieskit, Schoharie county, Oct. 26, 1875. ‘There is probably no Senatorial district in the State whore the democrats are making greater efforts to elect their candidate for Senator and their candidates for the Assembly thanin this district, which is com- posed of the counties of Chenango, Deiaware and Scho- harie, Itis peculiar district in many respects and contains a larger number in proportion to its vote of that class of voters, republicans and democrats alike, who cannot be made to follow their party blindly than any other in the interior, The only thing necessary to | bring out these independent voters in full force is the an honest man, and the same quality is not denied to | placing of first class local candidates in the field by both parties. The local politicians understand the temper of the district so well that it seldom happens that a really inferior raza is put up by either side for either house of the Legislature. Whenever either party has made a slip on this score it has always been defeated, This excellent tendency of the great mass of the yoters in the three counties is all the more noticeable when there is an election for a Senator, for then the three all have a say together on the choice of one of two men, and no matter what the little local dif- ferences may be in each county over each one’s respec- Live candidates for seats in the Lower House they all keop their weather eye open on the Senatorial ques- tion. The most striking illustration of this was given two years ago, when the republicans nominated Thomp- son against Youmans. They were both popular men, and stood well in the community as men of high char- acter, against whom not a derogatory word could be said. Now Chenango and Delaware are strong republi- can counties, In 1872 they each gave a large majority for the republican State ticket, and followed it up in 1874 with majorities for General Dix, although Gover- nor Tilden’s popularity did draw so many of the inde- pendent republican voters over to his side that Chenan- | go’s 1,348 and Delaware’s 1,234 were cut into fearfully, that of Chenango last November being 672 and Dela- ware’s only 16, On the other hand, Schoharie is heav- | ily democratic, and acts as a sort of BALANCE OF POWER: as between the other two counties. The result of the contest inthe district between Thompson and You- mans must yet be fresh in the minds of everybody, for the republican Senate took the whole of last winter to find out whether Thompson was really entitled to the one majority he got out of a total vote of nearly 22,000, and on the strength of which he secured a seat in that body. 1t so happens that this year both the democratic and republican candidates are from Schoharie; and I may here remark that it has evidently been the policy of the republicans this year, in every district where there is a democratic county, to have their candidate selected from that county, in order to offset any par- ticular “home” popularity which the democratic candi- date may possess. The democratic candidate is Judge Lamont and the republican William H. Engle, They are both widely known in the district, and it would be very hard to say which has the larger personal following outside of bis own party, Certain it is that each will draw many yotes from the opposite party in his own county, and the knowledge of this fact has done more than anything else to make the canvass a great deal more thorough on both sides in Chenango and Delaware than it probably otherwise would have been. The democrats in these two counties are not able to calculate with any reason- able degree of certainty whether Lamont will draw enough votes in Schoharie, on personal grounds, from the republicans to compensate for the personal follow- ing Engle may obtain there from the democratic side, and the republicans are in the same quandary, not | knowing what strength Engle may devolop among the democrats. They feck confident that he will cut into Lamont severe’y in many of the towns of Scho- harie that usually give good democratic majorities, and Lamont’s friends boast that where Engle gets one democratic vote Lamont will get two republican votes. So it can be readily perceived that both purties have Good reasons to be very active, as they certainly have been ever since the two candidates have been placed in ten years in succession, and many years ago his oppo- nent was District Attorney of the county, There is every indication that Lamont has THE INSIDE TRACK, and is far more popular with the great mass of the voters in Chenango and Delaware than Engles and it is the vote in these counties which will, of course, settle the contest as between the two men, ‘The can- didates are of that class which the local stuinp speakers call “eminently respectable,” but Lamont, unhke his competitor, is @ man who ‘takes’? immensely with the young men, though he ts not a young man himself. “it’s a way he bas,” as an Irish- jan would say. He is hail fellow well met with them atall (mes, enters into ail their high strung plans for the reformation of local grievances as it he was one of thein, and, i fact, makes himself so perfectly at home with uli classes that carce a town in any one of the counties where the over-fatmiliar ruralist, is not as well known as the txquire himself, ‘That he will poll a very large republican vote is @ foregone conclusion, and T happen to know of my own knowledge that many re- publicans who are work: < r the republican State ticket, and ostensibly for Eugle, are on the sly putting ‘in a good word for Lamout sver and wherever they get a chance, and will on son day Le the means of having many a ballot de- sited to his credit under the cover of an Englo outside,” It may be of interest just here to state that Chei and Delaware's combined vot thompson two ago was 8,555 to Youmans’ 7,250, and that it was 5+ | go | ears | | | him so near a triumph, It is conceded on ail sides that, unlike Youmans, who did not poll within 1,565 vou of the number cast for the democratic State ticket, Lamont will this year lead the ticket beaded by Big low by fully 800 votes, and that it is not likely that, | Engle will keep oven witll the Seward ticket. Taking | | everything mto consideration—their relative personal strength in the cavvass and the fact that the campaign in the district has no charge of corruption against either to give it that bitterness which charac. in Selkreg’s, Ha Woouin’s districts—the battle is in reality a square, stand-up, honest fight on the respective merits of the two men, will win the day by at least 600 or 700 majority, pro- vided the democrats poll a full vote, which they pro: do. bes great deal of interest is felt in cach county over the contests for Assembly men, Chenang he Assembly by « repub- lean, Jn the form republicans gave KR.

The democratic nominees are unusually strong men, Gabriel 8, Mead and Isaac B. Maynard, and some of the more sanguine democrats declare that they ean elect Mead in the First district, but { think they will find that they are KECKONING WITHOUT THEIR HOST. The democratic State ticket will, I foc! assured, pol, a large vote, and there will be no seratching. Althoughl as {said before, I feel certain that Chenango and Dela- ware will give each a majority for the republican Stato ticket, I believe the a on will be very small, and that Chenango especially will give a much smaller majority for the ticket than she did for Dix last year. The democrats have an idea they can do as well in Delaware as they did in ’74, and that there will be enough republican yotes for the democratic ticket to wbift last year’s ( gesbagd majority over to their side. ButIdo not think they can. The vote on the Stato ticket on both sides in each county will be large, not so. much on account of the hubbub about the canal frauds or any particular love the voters have for Tilden a bes uuse Of the interest tuken in the contest tor jenutor, A TCRN OF THE WHEEL, It may be remembere1 that a tittle over a week ago when I Wus in Selkreg’s district 1 gave it as my opinion that in spite of the ugly charges which have been made against him of “having been bribed as a legislator the Senator would be able to pull through successfully, Since then a marked reaction secms to have taken piace m Tompkins county in favor of Schuyler. I took casion the other day io run down into the county from Auburn, and I found that the reaction was u fact. What has so suddenly brought it about it would be very Lard totell; butL iaet several republicaus who had told me when I was in the district last that as the charges against Selkreg were not proven they intended to vote for him who have changed their ‘minds and now say that “it is better after all to yote for Schuyler,” From all ean learn | am now of tho opinion that Tompkins county will yive Schuyler a majority, and that !f the Methodist voters in Tioga county do not take that $50,000 appropriation for the Catholic Reformatory veo much to heart which Schuyler voted for the vote of Broome county will not be suiticfent to» defeat him. Selkreg’s friends have become frightened by the new aspect of affairs aad are leaving no stone unturned in order to stem the tide that has all of a wudden set in against their candidate. I was in- forined at Lansing that the railroads (no particular one was mentioned) would come to Selkreg’s rescue during the coming week ina “substantial way.” It is not so sure now either that Eugene B, Gere, the republican candidate in Tioga, or Merritt King, republican, im ‘Tompkins county, Will be elected. It was thought a week ago that King could easily defeat Samuel D. Hal- 1 the democratic Candidate, and that Gere would have little trouble in getting a majority over Stephen W. Leach, But the prohibition candidates in the dis- tricts, Hooker and Perrigo, have developed such con- siderable strength during the past week that the repub- licans have justly TAKEN ALARM. ‘And well they may have, for the temperance vote in Tompkins county alone last year was 316 and 195 in ‘Tioga, and while the former elected a democratic Assem- blyman, James Bishop, a republican was clected 1m the latter by only 113 majority. Then R. A. Ford, demo- crat, is certain to carry Binghamton city (the republi- can candidate carried it last year), and as a temperance candidate 18 talked ol, and as the Lemmperance vote in the county 18 over 200—some say 300—he too may possibly get elected, It would be cortainly a grand sweep for the democrats if they not only deteated Selkreg, but also elected their candidate for the Assembly 1 each of the three republican counties, Atall events, it 1s almost certain now that they will win in Tompkins and Tioga counties, which will be a democratic gain of two, As for Selkreg, he isa slippery eel, and even though the tide Appears at present to be setting in against hin with full force his railroad friends may pull him tbrough, though at considerable trouble, not to say anything about the expense. It is questionable, when it comes to the pinch, af they will think enoagh of him to go to either trouble or expense to save him in the day of his peril, PRESENT CONDITION OF THE DEMOCRATIC FORCES IN THE COUNTY OF MONROE—THE SECRET OF JARVIS LORD'S BIG MAJORITIES, Rocuesrer, Mosror Country, N. Y., Oct. 27, 1875. A great deal of speculation has been indulged in of late concerning the probable attitude of the democrats in this district at the coming election, and up toa few days ago but few persons were able to state with any degree of certainty who would be putin the field by them to succeed Jarvis Lord. Indeed the two parties have been doing very little else since the two State tickets were nominated than watching each other's movements, and it has therefore happened that no real hard work has been done thus far by either party to canvass the towns 80 as to ascertain what might be reasonably expected of the voters generally on election day, It is only a week ago’ that the republicans, de- spairing of any open action on the part of the demo- crats before they took action themselves, held their senatorial convention and nominated William N. Emer- son, ‘Three days ago the democrats nominated Alexan- der B, Lamberton, ana although the republicans held their Assembly cdnvdwtions in the First and Third districts some time ago tho democrats up to yesterday had nominated a candidate in the First alone. So as matters stand now the two parties have) —_) put up their men for the Second district, which is U lochester city district, and each side has been doing its best to be the Jas to hold their convention, The democrats made it known that they would at all hazards not nommate | their candidate until the republicans had shown their | hand. However, with the view of forcing the demo- crats to nominate at least as soon as themselves, the republicans have issued their call for the convention to be held on Saturday evening next, By this stratagem the democrats have been compelled to call theirs for the same day ; for, if they should adhere to their resolu- | tion not to nominate their candidates until a day or so | after the republicans, they would only have the day | before election left on which to hold the convention, which would of course not allow them sufficient time to fix up the preliminaries of the battle. THY SENATORIAL CONTEST. | Although there is more than the usual interest manifested in the Assembly districts as to the re- spective candidates’ ch: , Yet the great struggle will be over the Senutorship. Emerson is certamly not as strong a mun as sotye of the republicans would have devired nominated; but he was shrewd enough to take time by the foretock in making his nomimation a cer- tainty. He happened to be an Alderman some time ago, and he resigned his place in order to be eligible to theSenate, At the tune it was the impression among many republicans that Jarvis Lord would be the demo- cratic candidate, and that if he was he would be elected in spite of all the exposés made by the Governor's Canal Commission in reference to the canal trauds—at least many of them told me frankly that they feared he would be. Nor was this fear an idle one; for a rumor— although to my mind rather an absurd one—had got | about that the Governor had actually sent a letter to | Lord asking him to become acandidate, It was believed in by many. Atall events, when Emerson was working to secure the nomination he found but little opposition, as it was taken for granted by nota few, whose wish was father to the thought probably, that he would be beaten anyhow, provided Lord was renominated. But the real truth of the qatter is, so fur as I can learn, that Lord nover dreamed of being a candidate, It is true that a | country delegate got up in the convention and placed | him in nomination; but as Logd, with wise prudence, | had made it known to the delegates from his section of the county that under no circumstance did he desire his name to come up in the convention, it {s suspected vy some of the democrats that the delegate acted as he did for effect, knowing that everything had been ar- Yanged to nominate Lamberton by acclamation, and that the mere allusion to Lord would create coufusion and an outcry. As the delegate withdrew Lord's name before even the first ballot was completed and Lamberton was nominated in due form by mation, it matters little now what his real intentions were, | | quite a Jarge republ What the democrats are most anxious about, of course, just now, {% Lamberton’s elec tion, As th believe Emerson is one of the weukest candidates that could have possibly been nominated, they think they stand a very good of clecting their candidate, who, as Lind in this 1s, So fur as outward indications show it, a very popular man personally, Possibly in the ‘country towns Emerson i# beer known and may have a grcater hold on the voters. In this city it 1s believed Alderman he voted to cut down the pay wud the firemen and agaist th raiiroads which a great many p a public beneilt, His moves y but those who will oppose hint relerence to thy election day t against him, ‘The den t the police tion of city t would be | yre_ voting atic candidate, though ones a minister of the ts very fond of field sports, and this $s has been brought up | against him of lis opponents, but | certainly hot seem ty have’ done | y h harm, aud one of the auswers ina local | efwult fin W a iderable capital out ot or rather, to bo more ave charged the’ democrats with beng inconsistent tn hominaing a man Who, if he has any | esion at all, 11s that of minister, While they are he republicans for baving « mumister democrats in their answer | strike back very lh id get im a heavy biow om the Rev.

The nomination by the democrats of of Theobald Wolf Tone («relative of the great Wolf bim- self, I believe) for County ‘Treasurer may possibly ob- tain for him a consideraile Irish vote, but this is pot at all certain, THY POWER BRIUND THE THRONK, T find also that many people in the county have got the notion in their heada’ that D. D. S. itrown had something to do with securing Lamberton his nomina- tion, und I have heard some go so far as to state that, itelected, he will be nothing more than “a tool ol Brown,” though I hardly think, judging from the general reputation of the man, that he would be any- body's tool if he knew it, Still, a false impression that a candidate's political associates are not what his party would desire often does as inuch harm in a campaiga aga well-founded one, and the inere suspicion that Brown, who is oxtremely i glesenrd m the county, is im behind Lamberton, woul undoubtedly do injury at the’ polls Brown, rightly or wrongly, ¥ looked upon suspiciously by many, republican# and democrats alike, as he was a '-backer"! anda bondsman of Demming, the County Treasurer, who defauited to the extent of $80,000 some two wn ago, and who, itis alleged, loaned to Brown aud others, without security, considerable sums of money which wore deposited ih the Farmers and Mechanics? Bank of Rochester, of which Thomas Raines was cashier, and the affairs of which are now being wound up, Besid Phelps, the Assistant State Treasurer, was a protégé ol his. He first had hin appointed to a'place in the Cus- tom House, and then, alter the fellow had got in a scrape there, had him put in Mr, Raines’ office, wher ax every one knows, he made away with some $300, of the State's funds, cumstances have conspired to make Brown not very extimable in the eyes of a great many of the voters, although he may be quite innocent of any wrongdoing lumself, If, then, Jt be true—and Tam informed that it is a fact—that after the Democratic Senatorial Convention Brown said to one of the delegates, “I’ve got the Governor's ear, and if Lamberton is elected 1 will get any appoint. ments I want, as no other man in the county has i’—to wit, the Governor's ear—Mr. Lam- berton will not be any the better for it, ‘The notion— a mistaken notion, I think—that Brown will be the power behind the throne, if he is elected, will of itselt deprive him of hundreds of votes, There Is yet another thing which will prove a great drawback to Mr, Lamber- ton. There is @ certain class of voters im the county whom Mr, Lord and his friends, when he ran, always had to buy. When Bowman, democrat, ran for Senator against Morgan, republican, eight years ago, Lord threw his intluence in favor of Bowman, ‘THE BROKEN SCEPTRE, Money was then for the first time freely used, and Bowman came within fifty-seven votes of being elected. Since that time the class of voters I reter to have beh, 4 expected their compensation at elecuon time and have always got it, One of the men who ought to know something about this matter told me yesterday that over 2,000 democratic voters were paid for m this way every election, and they will expect to be paid this year, The coudition of aflairs is such now, how- ever, that bets will be disappointed, “and,” said my informant, “they will not believe ‘that there is no money to go round as usual and will not vote the democratic ticket.” Again, the re- publicans, Tam most positive, will get out their full vote inthe county, and, with hei there only an exception, will stick to their candidates. 1 do not think the full democratic yote will be polled tor Lam- berton, although, strange as it may seein, Jarvis Lord, rge D. Lord and William H. Bowman, who was in- dicted for conspiracy in the Hand case—and for whom much sympathy is felt in the county, under the belic! ‘that he was, as attorney in the totally innocent of any wrongdoing himself—are to work for his eice- tion, “It was genorally thought that the Lords would do all they could to defeat him, but I have it on the very best authority that they will, on the contrary, support him and the democratic State ticket. At the same time they and their friends have not now the means at their command to make that support so etlective as it used to be in Lord’s case, and it may, after all, turn out to be of very hittlo’ avail to the democratic candidate, The ‘difficulty in the way of Lam- berton’s success can be readily perceived by aglance at Lord’s vote in the past. For instance, in 1873 the democratic ticket got only 170 majority, while Lord recived a majority of 3,384. The year pre- vious the total vote cast was 22,386, of which 12,814 were republicun, or 4,804 more than had been cast’ for Lord’s opponent; showing conclusively that one of the reasous why ford always secured such large ma- Jjorities was that hundreds of republicans who would not yote for him would not vote against him and stayed away from the polls. In spite of the unenviable position he has beon placed im since the Governor's raid on the “Canal Ring” I am certain, from what I have heard on all sides, that, if he bad been renomi- nated, the republicans who Voted for him every ume he rnin the past as well as a majority of those wha stayed at home rather than vote against him would do the same thing again, This, on sa large a percentage of the republican yote which’ Lord’s personal popularity gave him, as [ have already inti- mated, will this year range itself where it properly be- longs, in a party sense, and will be cast solid against Lamberton. 80, if the full republican vote is polled, [ do not think that he can be elected, although there are those who believe that the reserve republican vote— composed of men who have not voted tor years, und who do not, as a rule, take much stock in political con- tests—will come out strongly this year and throw their weight into the scale for “Tilden and reform” by sup- porting Mr, Lamberton. ‘THE ASSEMBLY CANDIDATES, ‘There will be some hot work over the Assemblymen as well as over the Senator, Monroe county is éssen- tially a republican county, and it is not theretore reason- able to expect that the democrats can repeat their won- derful success of last year, when, for the first time, they not only elected three Assemblymen, but theik candidates for county offices. The Third district, car- ried by Josiah Rich, had always been carried before by the republicans. The democratic candidate in the First district is H. C, Ely, of Mendon, who is now the President of the Board of Supervisors, and in the Third A. P, Butts, of Brockport, who was’ only nominated yester- day. "The republicans have nominated Willard Hodges in the First, and Seman Glass, of Greece, in the Third. Hodges 18 a'farmer, “who carries corn in his pockets,” us a democrat facetionsly has it, and is not very popu- lar in the district, Butts, the democratic nouiinee in the Third, ran against Freeman Clark for Congress in 1872 ug a forlorn hope, of, ax some of the politicians say, “to fill up the ticket.” Gluss, the republican nominee in the Third district, used t practise law in Now York city; but, his health falling, he went West, and finally seitled himself in Greece (the town I mean), in this county, Such men as. District Attorney Raines, who is very sanguine of a sweeping democratic triumpD in the contest for Senator and the county ticket, Velieve that the three Assembly districts will be carried by the democrats.” But my own opinion, which, being @ disinterested one, may be sumewdat nearor to the tnark, is, that though Ely may possibly get elected in the First, Glass (republican) io the Third is almost certain ofdefeating Butts. As to the Second, which is the Rochester city district, itis hardly possible to say anything definite about the prospects of either party as yet, inasmuch as neither will have put candidates 1 nomination until Saturday next, ¢ democrats talk of nominating Richard H. Schooley, who ran against James 5. Graham in 1870 and was defeated. ‘The latter may possibly be taken up by the republicans again, At all events they will give the nomination either to him or E. M. Smith, who used te be Postmaster of the city. If the latter should be nominated it is more than likely that he will be elected. 1 will conclude by saying that Bigelow on the democratic State ticket wilt get “scratched” somewhat ia the county by some of the canal men, although George 1). Lord's friends say that he, for one, will go the straight ticket. But for the bitterness displayed by the republican press in this city over the school question and the fuss they are making over itimevery issue, 1 think there would be can vote cast for the ticket, Un- douvtedly the arguments used on this subject will have some eifect on the general vote as it will have in most other counties where it is being agitated violently, as well by the local prints as by the stump speakers in the villagé and town meetings.
