ROBERT TROUP TO JAY. 423
in the beginning of the business that you had supplanted
his father in law. I therefore rely upon the statement as
being pretty near the truth and rather within bounds than
otherwise. If, therefore, Clinton does not arrive at Columbia County with a majority of 800 or upwards against you
it is more than probable that your election will be safe.
I shall now underneath Fairlies statement proceed to
make a statement of the result of the votes in the Southern
and Middle Districts. Since writing the above I have added
my statement to Fairlie's and the result upon the whole
election appears to be a majority of 250 for you. You may
rely upon it that my statement is as unfavorable as I possibly could make it. All our friends from Ulster County assure us as well as our friends in Albany that Ulster will
yield a majority of upwards 100 for you. Mr. Cantine and
Col. Bloom both write that they expect a majority of 500 for
you in Dutchess. In Westchester County we do not think
from late accounts that our Majority will fall short of 350.
I have also made a very lax allowance for Suffolk, for
Orange, and I think, for Richmond.
Upon the whole I am well satisfied that we have succeeded and that you will be carried by a Majority that,
under all circumstances, will be deemed honorable to you.—
This is also the decided opinion of Yates, Schuyler, Peter
Van Schaack, Hobart, Jones, Harison, Duane, Bogart, Hoffman, &c.— In the Northern parts of the State the Clin-
tonians are lowspirited and have done betting. Here some
of the leaders are extremely uneasy ; I know that Willet is,
from his declarations to me.
I shall continue writing to you and hope my next intelligence will be more agreeable. In the mean time I am with
the utmost sincerity
My dear Sir,
Your very affectionate friend
Robert Troup.
