Whole number Of votes, 29i
Mr.. Van Burens majority over Harrison Slower
all the other candidates IS. His popular majority
was q ,6l3. The popular vote, as indicated by the
last elections, shows considerable majority against
the Administration In this State alone his majority
was 23,272, and il is some six eight thousand
the other way. In Connecticut the change against
MIR Van Buren, has been about 5OOO-in Rhode Isl
and, Virginia and Louisiana at least 5000 more. or
the States that vsted against him then, South Caro-
lima will eerta.ly for him this fall, unless Mr.
Calhoun takes offence between now and November;
and Georgia. may also be considered safe for Mr..
Van Buren,.
Surprising the seven States which voted for Har-
rison in 1886 to go for him this fall he will still want
rs additional votes to secure his election. Nassz-
chusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York,
Michigan, and Louisiana giving in the aggregate IS
votes, are unquestionably opposed to MIR. Van Bu-
re at the present time, and unless something now
unforeseea should transpire, they will all vote
against him in Noveiuber These States, with those
which voted for Harrison in 1896, would comprise
n majority Of the electoral votes, and secure the
election Of Old Tippecanoe, to say nothing of Nir
gina, Tennessee, North Carolina, or Illinois where
the wings profess the utmost confidence Of success
IT, therefore, the seven States arranged under the
name Of Harrison !. the above table, can be depend
ed on in November, we see NO possible chance for
the reelection OF MIR. Van Buren,. But in respect
10 some of these states, doubts may be entertained
New Jersey, Maryland and Ohio are confidently
claimed by the democrats, and nothing definite
be known concerning them until after the state
elections. Ohio, is said by the Wings, to have
always been in favor Of Harrison, and the success
OF the democrats last fall is ascrbea to the impress

The state elections that have Just taken place,
and those which to follow i,nme diately. will in
dictate popular sentiment FAR as TO enable us to
form very accurate judg msst to the general re-
suit. Since the Harrison nomination, the current
has set strong against the administration, and .
careful and impartial survey OF the whole ground
leads us TO the conclusion that the Wings have the
game in their hands II they play the cards with
skill and ,drotncss. Many Of the democrats them
selves admit that a, the present time they in the
minority, bat their hopes rest the reaction hch
they anticipate after the efervescence Of the hard
cider shall have subsidized. Tn Ter other crcamstan
ces their hope would probably be realized; but il
IS. we apprehend that Il will prove delusive. The
wing leaders have usually managed with grea, clum
siness aud the democrats have only had TO look pa.
tiently or and let them divide into factions and de-
feat themselves. But different state OF hing exists
The people restless, uneasy and dssatihed.
Every species Of agricultural products 10 exceed

consent, aseribed to the general administration,

Uader these circumstances, ia is not probable tina
the snthu,iasn which prevail. among the Wing

which have already begun, will be continued slnios
without interruption, until November. Returns vii

One party or the other j. greatly mistaken in IL

ability 60 sweep the fslJ b. an immense majority
and both no dosbt are deceived to certain extent
We present estimate &C the result, founded upo
