torfy-ntne for the administrations The present
character of the Senate is accounted for by the
TACT, that large proportion of that BODY was cho-
sen during the earlier periods OF the present adj
ministration--the members holding d,eir seats for
Tour years.-Both members of the r. s. Senate

oil 1874, Clay and Jackson had about g, 600 each
and Adams but IL 0G0. The Jackson electoral
ticket wanted plurality of but about 500 to sue

MI Clay, IN 1924, to the 900 in favor of Gen.
jackson, II gives HIM ma jority of secc, thousand
votes over MIR. Adams. In this event. which is
not improbable, he will have the whole vote of
Ohio.

1H'nois-votes by general ticket for three cleo
tors. Both branches the State Legislature are
nearly unanimous for Gen. Jackson OF the IT,
D. senators one is in favor OF, and is opposed
to that candidate; the member OF the House is in

Mfssowi-votes by general ticket for three
| ELECTORS Both branches ofthc State Legislature
| are nearly unanimous for Gen. Jackson In the

votes for the Jackson candidate for the U. s. SEN
ate, and but Is against him One of the U S.
Senators is IN favor of Jackson, and one opposed
to him. The member ofthe House is in favor of
! the administration.
On reviewing the foregoing detail of the twen-
ty lour States, we find fourteen, having a majority
oil representatives in the Sta.c and National Lee
glslatlres in favor of Gen. jackson. These are
New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware, MARYLAND
| virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina. Geor-
gia, Kentucky, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama
| Illinois, and Missouri
lhe Whole number of the electoral votes OF
these States is l76. But New York may proba-
bly, give five or six votes for Mr. Adams, certainly
not more than ten; and as Maryland also votes by
districts, and her representatives are nearly equal
DIVIDED, she will probably give at least sevcn of
her votes to Gen. Jackson, as at the former eiec-
tion, and again give Mr.. Adams three votes. and
possibly the remaining one which was cast for
MIR. Crawford. Deducting then, from I7G, ten
votes iroln New York, and fon~ from Maryland,
we have lG2 electoral votes. as the number which
1t IS in the highest degree probabLc will be gigen
| to Gen. jackson.
From this last result VIC NAV safely deduct. as
