Hughes in Oppencat's Henle Town—Gays' Situation Is Good and Improving. Povangerstn, N. Y., Oct. 11.Despite the very great popularity of Lewis Stuy vesant Chanler in his own county of Dutchess, made Democratic by the Chan lers, Gov. Hughes found that there were a good many Republicans and even some Democrats here today who prefer him to Mr. Chanler for Governor. Mr. Hughes ended his week's tour of the up-State communities at a meeting our the stronghold of the Chanler family noon, and with the possible reason of the meeting at Syracuse it was the keenest, most responsive and appreciative gathering he had addressed all the week. Not only were the people who lined the streets right under the office and training quarters of Brother Bob Chanler, in the jail, ready to cheer and I gash it up—a thing lacking in the street tions in moy of the other places if they poured into the opera house, ‘which seats about 1,200, packing it quickly to the doors, with hundreds standing up, ‘and proceeded to make all kinds of approving demonstrations whenever the Governor made one of his points.

They took the Gov ernor up through flag draped streets to Republican headquarters, where hun dreds were waiting to shake hands with him. Some of the men said that they were Democrats who approved of his record as Governor and thought that he ought to have his record vindicated. When he got over to the opera ‘house the entire crowd stood up agong My Country, ’Tis of Thes,” ‘ The biggest cause came when the Governor on the racetrack issue and put his patient to Mr. Chanler. *What I did,” he said, referring to the arc racetrack bills, “was to R before the people of the State nee New York for them to or con cenis. abe Tart Ie to them to, tract their legislators ingly.
