“MME STATE. CAMPAIGN,“ —— An Active Canvass in Montgomery, Suratoga, . Fulton and Hamilton and Sehe- Frectady Counties. THE STRUGHLE THROUGHOUT THE STATE. Democrats and their Republican Allies Certain of the Triumph of the Bigelow Ticket. WILL THE REPUBLICANS SUCURK THE SENATE 2 Foxna, Montgomery County, Oct. 20, 1875. ‘The late Senator Hlood, who was elected Senator from the Fifteenth Senatorial district in 1869, used to laugh very heartily over the way he succeeded in defeating his republican opponent, Ido not know that the dis- trict deserves to-day the bad name it had then with politicians of being the most purchasable district in the Btate, but anyhow Senator Blood’s story was that on the day of election money was freely used by his com- petitor’s backers, who had to pay a pretty large price for the votes that were in the market. “I saw how ‘the thing was working,” said Blood in telling his story, “and my friends were very nervous about the situation. ‘Why don’t you go in and buy up a majority,’ said one of my workers, ‘Confound it, you've got plenty of the stuff to do it with.’ But I knew what I was about and let my opponent have everything bis own way until the afternoon, Then Tdid goin and got all the votes I wanted, and it being Jate in the day, I didn’t have to pay a third the price my friends on the other side had to in the morning. | That's the way I got my majority, and some of the boys were glad enough to take a dollar a vote before the polls closed.” fession, but as it was in the days when there was no Jaw that could deal with money dealers at tne polls in a way that would be effective it may be that the Saratoga | district was, in Blood’s time, no more Shameless than many another, though making less pretension’ to vir- tue, However that may be, there’ are not a few politicians in the State to-day, of both parties, who have an idea that the district is yet rather prone to go for the candidate who has the heaviest purse, and it was a remark of a politician to that effect which reminded one of slood’s boast as to how easy a man could get elected there if he only knew the ropes and when to give the tug, have in the district this year is as yet a mystery; but the democrats have it that “piles” of it are to be used In the five counties to secure the re-election of Senator Wagner. The law relative to bribery at elections, and especially the constitutional enactinent which compels members of the Legislature to take the iron-clad oath which so many evaded iast year by a legal quibble that cannot be raisetl this year will, of course, prevent any of the candidates themseives using money if they have any conscience. Indeed, Ido not think that Senator Wagner himself would countenance anything of the kind in his behalf, no matter how anxious he may be to get elected, any more than would Mr. Benedict, his democratic opponent, of using money to further a candidate’s election in which the candidates themselves may take no active part, They may not promise anything or give any- | thing to anybody to secure his vote, yet it their friends who desire their election for some good reason of their ; own, or those who desire a particular one’s defeat, and who stand in no awe of the jron-clad oath, though they may be willing to take their chances of getting into the clutches of the Jaw in some manner, make up their minds to use money in the canvass, that is none of the candidates’ business. At‘least such seems to be the impression of some of the politiciaus, and so ar_ guing, Lapprebend that they will carry their peculiar notion of the matter into practice in this district if they cannot gain their point otherwise. I refer now more particularly to certain parties who are termined to defeat Wagner at al! hazards, thouy others who are anxious that he should be returned to the Senate will not hesitate, [ learn, to fight nis enemics with their own weapons, It may be that the Gove nor’s circular to the district attorneys of th nous counties will cause these parties to be rather circu tin their operations, but they would be circ spect even if it was never promulgated Ruconn: Hackerr says:—‘‘le THE NOTIONS YOU FORESHADOW BHOULD KE ACQU!

Though there was a tussie tween him and George West in the Con tion nearly a month ago for the nomination, of whi gave you a pretty fair idea in a previous letter review ing the political situation in certain distf paiched up apparently when West ree mous renomination tor the Assembly from the First dis- trict of Saratoga county, to feel badly over his discomfture in the Senatorial Convention, particularly as Wagner had promised hun @ year ago that he would not bea candidate for rend mination this year, there can be no reasonable a Had he been deteuled by a large majority of the dele- gatos his heartburnings might not have been so great nor the indigration of bis friends, who are jegion in the’ district, 80 intense as it 18 over the fact tbat Wagner triumphed by a single vote, and that that vote was pledged to West in person twenty-four hours before the Convention met. And now has come the trouble, Two weeks ago Wagner's course looked clear; at present he ig reaily in danger, and although Wes, I believe, is acting honestly and loyally in the contest,” I know that many who desired lis nomination are secretly working to bring about Waguer’s defeat, Over these men West has no control apparently. their working is being carried on go stealthily t almost impossible to tell to what extent they have we over to their way of thinking other repubiies ot over friendyy to Wagner as a “railroad” although he is nether a raiiroad director nor officer, un less his beng a shareholder in -a sleeping’ car company places him in that category. At ail events the cry has been raised against him that he was ot the representat of the district im the Senate the last four years so much 2s an agent for railroads, man, and that itis =shigh time =a = man of another stamp was put in his place, It is more than probable that Wagner could aiford to let this cry go up all over the district, and yet get elected ; but if alone it would prove too weak a weapen to beat him down with, when coupled witu the ener- getic planning and plotting of young men who have a wonderful deal of influence in the district, and some ofwhom have ample means to salisly the capacious maw of THE GREEDY VOTER, who will be in the market for the highest bidder, it be- comes quite a formidable one. Certain it is that the opposition started against hita so recently within his party, and which I Dappen to know will be winked at y many republicans who were bitterly opposed. to his renomination, even if they do not actively and openly take sides against him, will give his friends all uney | can do to clect him, in spite of the fact that two ears ago, out of over 14,000 votes, only a ittle over 200 were given to his opponent, and these 200 were all in Montgomery juuty, This, however, it would seem, was not regarded in the district as a Proof of his popularity, as it was outside of the dis. | trict, and particularly in New York, vy those who were not aw fait ax to the condition of aifairs in the district at the time. The democratic vote for the State ticket the same year Wagner's opponent got this mite of a vote was over 12,000, so it stands to reason that had | there been ally a democratic candidate in the eld of ath he could have polled at least 9,000 votes, lispaugh, who opposed him,’? said a democrat to me, in speaking of the vote, “was a mere cat’s-paw,"” which, by the way, is nota’ bad phrase for a politician, Taking it for granted, then, that Mr. Benedict will poll the fuil vote of his party (it must be remembered that the vote of 1873 was alight vote and that the demo- in =the = district cratic vote last year was over 15,000), a serious onslaught on Mr. Wag- ner by republican: and one that jis carried ‘on with a great deal of secrecy 1s all the more danger. ous, will make his election a matter of grave dount, Bat will moi turn the tables one way or the other? If there are as many voters in the district now who can be bought and sold ike 30 much cattle as in Blood’s time, the Party with the largest amount of currency arguments will carry the day, and I am told that man. Mr, Wagner's backers, or rather men who say witl trong emphasis on the first word of the four that he ‘Must not be beaten,” are determined to make dollars and cents tell if the worst comes to the worst. If be carry out this determination I do not believe ft is wit the consent of the Senator, nor do I think, if the stories one hoars here and there in the district are true about how much some people opposed to him mean to spend to defeat him, that his opponent has any idea of encoura; the use of money illegiti- mately to secure hi ion, However, that money will be ased in tho district freely I have not the slightest doubt. A republican, who 1s opposed to Wag- ner, in scouting*the idea that it would be hard work to defeat the Senator, gave me an insight into one of the dodges by which some republicans, who will not vote for Bonedict for fear yl being accused of haying been ‘This, certainly, was rather a shameful con- | What influence money will | But there are’ varions ways | N OF COU Rr ST, HE OCCA: | ds That West had good reason | NEW YORK: HERALD, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1875.—TRIPLE SHEET. ought “are to be ‘induced not to ry Wagner, though apparently doing 80, He thowed me aballot with the Senatorial indorsen but which bad the following on the ineide:— s sombly, Fifteenth Senatorial district, Webster Waxner. 1 og of a politician laughed as 1 handed the bal- | pe ace fideed he would not lot me keop it as a curio: sity--and remarked, “You see, whoever votes that ballot voies for Wagner, doesn’t he.” Icould not deny the fact, and he added, ‘And he can take his oath after election that he voted for him, can’t he.” THe STRUGGLE OVER THK ASSEMBLYMEN, ‘The Assembly nominations have all been made by both in the five counties and the democrats aro more than usually active in their endeavors to carry the various districts In Montgomery county the republi- | caus havea strong man in the field in Herman Wendel, and the democrats a very popular candi: date in George M.

The district 18 heavily republican, It elected George 8. Bateheller three years ago by 1,306 majority, and in 1873 no democrat was willing to oppose him at ail, and Batcheiler had a walk over.

It is the impression of the democrats | that a very large proportion of the farmers will voto | be democratic ticket, The city of Schenectady went democratic last fall, but the towns gave a small ma- jority for the republican ticket, A great deal, however, in the county—as indeed in the other counties ot the district—will depend upou the turn the contest for Senator takes, and at the present outlook. it will be a ry close one. HOW GOES THE stars? Now that 1 have completed my tour of the various | counties of the State it may be of interest for me to give you my opinion as to the prospects of the two | partiés, judging from the observations I have made | since the campaign opened. In spite of the bard work | done by the republicans, during tho past two weeks | especially, to guarantee’ a full party vote for their | State ticket, of the drawback the agitation of the pub- ic school question will be to the democrats in certain | sections, and the underhand opposition totheir ticket | by democrats, friends of the Canal Ring and others, | some of whom will scratch Bigelow, and many of whom will vote the straight republican ticket, the democratic ticket will be elected beyond a doubt; | but by nothing like the majority Tilden | elected by lust year, Provided New York and King: de- | Ricumowd; Suilolk and Queens counties do as well | | as they did jast youd, the Assembly, I think, will stand at least seventy-seven democrats to fifty-one republi caus. However, the chances are that the republicans li secure the Senate. ‘The republicaus in the interior, everywhere of jute, believe that their friends in the | First district (Queens, Richmond and Suffolk counties) - | will elect Prince, and that in New York city they bave | cluded Acertainty of electing their candidate in the Fitth anc possibly in the Eighth district, Of course I have had ho theins of ascertaining what grounds they have for this confidence; but conceding that the democrats se- cure the first eight districts, the outlook in the othor districts of the the State in which I have travelled tor | the past tour weeks 1s as follows on the Senatorial ques- tion: — | Republican, Democrat. In Doubt. | Ninth. Tenth. Thirteenth | Twelfth, Eleventh. Twenty-fourth, Fitteenth. Fourteenth. Twenty-eighth, ‘Twentieth. Thirty-tirs. Twenty-third Twenty-seventh. | Twenty-second. Twenty-tifth, ‘Qwenty-sixth. ‘Twenty-ninua, ‘Whirtieth. | Thirty-second. ‘The Twelfth and Twenty-sixth Districts were repre- | sented in the last Senate by democrats, and the Tenth, Fourteenth, Twenty-third and Twentieth by Repub | licuns. Giving the democrats the first eight districts of the State it will be seen by the above that they stand fourteen to the repub! fifteen districts,” The odds are in favor of the democrats carrying the Thirteenth (Albany county), set down as doubtful, which would bring them within two of a majority; Dat it is more than likely that powerful iniluences will on Tuesday save the Twenty-fourth to the republicans, and that the Erie (the Thirty-first) and the Monroe (the Twenty- eighth) districts will be lost to the democrats, turns out to be the case the republicans will bave an assured majority in the Senate without courting any district they may possibly carry south of Westchester | county, A QUESTIC In view of the gene tion f append t OF MAJORITIES, interest taken in the coming following table showing how | | | | ole 1872:— | —1874-— | —1873— Diz, Tilden, | Rep.

But, asI have shown, though they may get their full vole out itis not so certain that they can control it; for it is apparent that the independent republican vote on Tuesday next forthe democratic ticket will be very large. So, indirectly, the republicans expressiy en- gaged in the interior to bring ail the republican farmers to the polls will, in many instances, be really bringing votes to the ballot box for the democratic ticket, WESTCHESTER COUNTY POLITICS, THE CONTEST YOR THE SENATE-—A SHADOW OF SECTARIANISM—TAMMANY TACTICS IN THE NEW WARDS, ‘The political campaign in Westchester county, though vigorous, has been exceeding short, owing to the pro crastination tactics mutually observed by the chief rival parties in making some of their most important nominations. This policy was first pursued by the democrats for the purpose of inducing their opponents to nominate a candidate for State Senator, and while their most formidable rival on the republican side had, as is said, frequently stated that he “must be consid- ered as being out of the race,” Thus the friends of the present democratic candidate for State Senator post- poned his nomination until what might be termed the “eleventh hour,” in the hope that the republicans would select some other standard pearer than the one | who signally defeated te same aspirant for Senatorial honors two years ago. But the democrats “reckoned without their host.” Their opponents, adopting the policy of masterly inactivity, waited patiently until the democrats named their candidate, and the latter party in so doing brought about the only possible contingency under which it was rumored the surongest man in the republican ranks might be constrained by party pres- sure to accept a renomination, And so it was that al- most before the faint cheering which greeted the nomination by the democracy of Stephen §, Marsnall, at Carmel, had subsided their political adversaries met in convention, and having renominated Judge Robertson by acclamation Recorder Hackett says:—"Even if disposed to throw open the books and records of the Court to a politician I could not do it, be- cause the deputy clerk is not appointed by the Judges of the Court of General Sessions.” adjourned without affording him an opportunity to ether accept or decline the honor. He isin the field now, however, and ex- presses himself as being confident of re-election, TI{K SENATORIAL CONTEST, it is believed, will prove to be much closer on Tuesday than it was when the same candidates opposed each other two years probability is bused upon* a combination of ¢ Among th | serted that Mr. M by Jndgi two years ago was owing i part to the territc onslaught made by ex-Congressman Jobn 8.

The anti-Tammany men in the Twenty-third and Twenty- fourth wards are also understood to be supporting the candidate last named, and under these circumstances it 18 not ‘improbable that hoe | will receive a handsome majority in that | former section of the county, where Judge Robertson has heretofore made such inroads on the dem sirength as to materially aid in his election. | calculations, however, aro based upon the subserviency | to Tammany Hall of the democratic rank and file mn the | soction indicated, Should the unterrified become restive | and leave the traces on election day it would be bardly safe to predict the consequences to both candidates, Appearances would indicate that, as regards the Justiceship of the Supreme Court, Judge Tappan will sweop the entire distr xeepting the counues of Orange and Dutchess, In this county the democrats are | excessively indignant at the course pursued by ex- rict Attorney (and not “ex-Judge”) Dykman, who, g to obtain the nomination for the Supreme bench from the party he had then been acting with, accepted it from the republicans, with whom he was formerly identified and had received official emoluments from, in Putnam county. On this point the democracy | feel particularly sore, they having once during his temporary conversion to their political faith elucted him to the office of District Attorney. | OUTLOOK POR THE ASSEMBLY, | In the First Assembly district the democratic atrength is hkely to be impaired by adisuffection which | has divided the party in Tammany and anti-fam- | many wings. The latter wing is headed by a defeated | candidate for re-election to the oflice of Sheri! of | Westchester county. He has also, it is said, been ex- from the councils of the Wigwam on Fourteenth street, and in return for these little disappointinents, has had ube satisfaction of seeing an | anti-Tammany candidate nomimated for member of | Assembly, The republicans are, of course, chuckling over this family quarrel among the democrata, hoping thereby an opportunity will be aiforded them'to elect | their own candidate, ‘The distracting question of re ligion has, to a certain extent, entered ito the canvass in the Second Assembly district, Mr. Schieifelin, the j democratic candidate, during the last legislative ses- } sion voted agalust an “appropriation for tho Catholic Protectory at Westchester, Parovloxical as it may seem, this, it is said, may prove at once a source of both weakness and strength to the gentleman named; for while it alienates a considerable portion of the Catholic vote, it has drawn to Lis support ali the Protestant democrats in the district, and will be likely to gain him many ant- Catholic votes on election day.

The Tammany candidate nominally this year is Nicholas Muller, but itis believed that Muller will instruct his friends in the district to scratch the name of Fox off all ballots, and, as a consequence, the partisans of Fox will support Michael Madigan, the avti-Tammany candidate, who is also indorsed by the republican voters of the district.
