elecaed by msj~ity Of perhaps 5000

carried in 1910, and will give Mr.. Polk
two-3Airds Of the electoral votes. And
what reason have we 10 doubt, after the
results in Maine and Vermont, that the
elections yet to be held will not show. an
equal diminution of the whig strength?
New England, above all other parts Of the
Union, was the section in which the de-
nocr-cy expected TO make the least in
road upon their opponents; and it was here
