Let US anayze TINS statement, which has so
inspired ard delighted our cotemporary
|. Louisiana-Our correspondent. has 'es:i
mated the Loco majority this Summer at 600.
Why so modest He might as well have taken
10000 while he was about it. The Journal OF
Commerce, which never yet put forth Election
Returns too favorable to the Wings, gave table
of the actual returns from the several Parishes,
making the Loco-Foco majority about 200 or
little less, if we mistake not-and this with only
Wing candidates for Congress in half the State.
Our own returns make the Popular Vote of the
two parties Just abou; a tic. But allow It TO De
200 againt us, while we had but two candidates
FOR Congre IS to draw out votes by personal strength
against their four, what is the fair presumption
Bear in mind that the Wings carried The Legis-
laturc, cecting decided majority of the new
Members chosen to either House. This was in
July, when considerable proportion of the voters
are absent from the State, three -iourths OF them
Wings. Now in 1870, we barely carried the
Legislature and the odd Congressman, electiDg
our popular Governor by 1000 majority. In
November, The Wings chose their Presidential
Electors by $3.50 majority. As the News seems
TO delight in arithmetic, We will ask it to deter
mine-,hc Wing increase from July 10 Novem.
Der in 1910 being 2,6S0-how much, by the same
ratio, Clay's majority will be next November?
>. North CarOiiad.-ln August, lo40, the
Wings carried this State by 5000 majority; in
November, they increased il to l2,594-not by
getting away the votes OF their adversaries, Gu;
simply by increasing their own. This year, cur
Governor runs behind the Wing strength, owing
10 the artiul appeals of fIoke & Co. to the West
ern Wings TO go ior Western Governor, there
having been none chosen for many years from the
Western District, where Hoke lives, and where
IS the great Wing majority. On the Legislature,
we have done as well as in 1910; Hoke has poll
ed his full party vote with some of ours. There
is no reason 10 doub, ,ha. the Whig gain from
Augus, to November will be as great this year as
in lS40.
5. Iiiao;S-Thefe is 10 $4,000 majority in
this State, but it is enough, 50 we won't quarrel
I. = no
State Election OF lS40 but the Wings rallied in
November and reduced it below 1900. They
will doubtless poll many more votes in November
Than nov. Blu, this State IS governed by Aliens,
Who arc permitted TO vote by its Constitution
without renouncing their allegiance to Foreign
powers, or in any way becoming citizens OF the
United States. This isa gross fraud and wrong,
in palpable evasion of the Constitution and Laws
or the United States. By means OF 1t 10000
immigrants from Europe, since lS40, have swelled
bv at leas, 9,00o the present LEGO Foco majority
il Illinois. Immigrants are always deceived by
the hollow professions OF Democracy until they
have baen long enough IN this country to acquire
some acquaintance with the real questions at issue
between the two parties
4. AlG5Gma is decidedly an and-Tarif and
Texas State for the present, though your 10000
majority is only guessed al. But call it what you
please.
5. M;ssOuri.-Neighbor while we concede
your victories you ought not TO claim your rever-
ses as triumPhs. Your majority for Governor is
less now than i, has been for many years, while
the Wings have large gain In the Legislature.
The Wing vote is not, and could not be, all poIed
out, for the Soft ticket, though the men CON-
posins that ticket are as hostile TO ran and your
