present probabilities of the canvass:
Total Ills

We make no pretensions to superior
information on this subject save as we
have more industriOusly and steadily
sought it. We have not relied so much
on the estimates ard sanguine calculations
of our friends in the various States as on
what they relate to US from personal OBJ
servatiOn Of the changes in Scots favor,
the enthusiasm his name has evoked. and
the solid uork which is in progress to
make him better known to the people
We cannot foresee the future, but if the
election were to take place in September,
we believe Gen. Scott would be chosen by
a decided majority. And we confidently
expect to see him gain henceforward to
the November Election.

GEN. SCoTT AND THE NULLIFIERs-
In 1882. when the Mon was threatened by South
Carolina, and civil war was imminent, Gen scott
was selected by President Jackson as cOgfder
f0I agent OF the Government, to proceed 10 the
scene of excitement, and to adopt such measures
as he might deem necessary to sustain the laws
end preserve the peace Of the country. General
Cass was then Secretary of War, and in hls Official
oroer to Gen. Scott nc says:
"He president Jackson has fuU cOgGdancs n your

q Among the victims by the destruc-
ton of the Henry Clay there is none whom
the country could so i'll afford to lose or
whose services to the community can so
little be replaced as Mr.. DOWNING of New
burg. A man of genius and of high cul-
ture, thoroughly disciplined in his profess
sion by long study and observation in Eu-
rope; with taste refined and judgment true
enough to feel the deficiencies and to know
the needs of our domestic, and especially
of our rural architecture still in the prime
of life and exercising wide influence by
his practical labors as well as by his writ
ings, he is snatched from sphere of high and
beautiful utility, and a successor we can
not hope to find. What Mr.. Downing had
done and was doing to improve the fashion
of our dwellings hardly surpassed in value
his contributions, theoretical and practical,
to the kindred art of landscape gardening.
Under his directing hand the grounds of
the Capitol and the Smithsonian Institute
at Washington were being transformed
into models of beauty in their kind; and
the grounds about many private mansions
also bear testimony to the same taste, the
same wise sense of beauty and fitness.
As writer Mr.. Downing was remarkable
for a mixture of strong sense, thorough
understanding of his subject and genial
originality. The cessation of his monthly
essays in The HmticuLturiSt will leave
permanent blank in the literature of the
Domestic Arts. While he drew his ma.
terials from the most varied culture he was
always, and in the most frank and manly
way, an American. His chief aim was to
refine the taste, and elevate the social life
and habits of his cOuntrymen to something
like the ideal proper to freemen. An artist,
a scholar and gentleman, we deplore his
untimely loss; and a wide circle of ac-
qaintapces, who with us recall his eminent
social as well as public qualities, will Join
with US in this tribute to his memory.

TIE GATHERING AT NIAGARA.

Men will differ in their estimates Of
numbers where 20 certain data are attain
able. Some estimates of the numbers
present at the Lut dy's Lane Celebration
place them as high as 100000; others as
low as 10000. knowing that such gath
erings are more likely to be exaggerated
than underrated, we place it at $4,000,
collected from every Free State, with Del
cations from Kentucky. Maryland, Viz
ginia and the District of Columbia.
1t must be borne in mind that this gath
ering took place on the extreme Northern
point Of our Lake frontier, so that hardly
600 persons were present from North of a
line drawn due East and West from the
speakers stands. Then the season was
that of the Wheat harvest along our North
err frontier-the most hurrying time In the
whole year. No great cities were at hand
to pour forth their curious, idle thousands
to swell the pageant. And yet the mag
pitude of the gathering has rarely or never
been surpassed so early in any former
Presidential campaign.
But he great numbers assembled were
BY no means the most significant feature
Of this gathering. Nearly half the speak
ers on the ground, with many hundreds of
old soldiers and others who shrink from
addressing public assembages, were oppo-
nents of the Wing party in the last Presi-
Dental Election. Among these were John
H. Bradley of Indiana, Gen. VIM. Lari-
mer, Jr. of Pennsylvania, DanielR. Tilden
of Ohio, and Charles Quin of Michigan,
who supported Van Buren, in 1845. 9TH
ers spoke who were for Cass in that
struggle. And all, whether Wings or
otherwise, spoke with the utmost conf
dence of carrying their own States respect
lively for Gen. Scott. However Ohio
might doubt New York, or New York
Ohio, or Indiana Michigan, or Michigan
Indiane, each felt morally certain that
their State would go right.
What we saw and heard at Niagara
changed our opinion with regard to OaIo.
We had previously considered that a
doubtful State; we now confidently ex-
pect its vote for Gen. Scott. 1t would GER
tainly have voted for him in 1915; it was
proved Wing State in the vehement con-
test of 1914; we believe it is nor Wing
State, and still more decidedly for Scott.
We shall be disappointed if G n. Scott
does not receive in Ohio $4,000 more votes
then were ever yet given there for any
man, and 5000 more then can nolc be Civ
en- to anybody else.
MICHIGAN, WISCONSIN, INDIANA and
even ILLINOIS look better than we sup
posed they did. We think Gen. Scott
must have two of them, and may have all.
The following is our estimate of the
present probabilities of the canvass:

WING RATIFICATION MEETING AT
GREENE.-Os Monday evening, Aug 8, the Wings
of Chenango will meet those of Broome County at
Greene, in Mass Convention, to ratify the ncmi-
nation of SCoTT and GRAHAM. Several gentle.
men from abroad will be present and address the
meeting, among them Horace Greeley of New
York. Arrangements are making for general
attendance of the Wings of that section, by canal
plank road, on horse and on foot. Mnsic, banners
and bonfres will not be wanting. The Wings Of
Broome and Chenango are united harmonious
and Jealous for Scott and Graham.

TAMlIANY AND GEN. SCOTT.

Nothing is too bad for the present repre-
sentatives of Tanmany Hall and of the
Sham Democracy to say Of the gallant and
noble veteran whom the grateful and ap-
predatory feeling of the people has chosen
as the Wing candidate for the Presidency,
and in due time will choose for the Presi-
dency itself. No calumny is too gross,
10 sheer too contemplate, no injustice too
fragrant for them to propagate in order to
prevent the aged, but yet stalwart, patriot
soldier and statesman from attaining the
post to which his own deserts and the well
fare of the country and the desire of the
people unite to raise him. However, in
eneeavOring to injure him, his enemies 90
so far as to irjure their own cause; their
assaults rebound with redoubled force on
themselves; We therefore do not complain
of their proceedings, whose result will
prove that they must ever labor in vain
who attempt to degrade one whose name
Is so intimately associated with the coun-
uy's history and so dear to every true
American heart.
But this has not always been the state of
things IN Tammany. The time was when
Gen Scott was though worthy Of its best
honors. Then it is true that De was
younger and his first laurels still wore the
bloom of novelty. But he is still the
same as then. Only ripper, wiser. Gro wned
with yet nobler triumphs, the triumphs of
preventing wars as well as of prosecuting

them to a victorious issue. Aside from
this, the sole charge is that he is now the
Whir Candidate for the Presidency, and
it is that fact which dictates and inspires
the new found hostility Of the Tammany
orators, wire. pullers and newspapers.
On the 18th of September, 1918, nearly
thirty-four years ago, a dinner was gwen
at Tammany Hall, in concentration OF
the sortie from Fort Erie, which took place
on September ID, four years previous. AT
that dinner, it is recorded, that Majo Cen
eIal WINFIELD SCOTT was selected to pre-
side, and discharged that Office. Gen.
Brown was the guest of the occasion, and
the Mayor Of the City, Gen. Miller, Gen.
Ripley, Gen. Moses Porter, Of the Revolu-
tiOnary army, and number of other dis
tinguished gentleman were present. The
report before US, that of The National
AdrOcatc, says that 1.-THE day was spent, as
it should be, in the greatest harmony and
in reciprocal Fluctuations" None of the
speeches made are reported, except that of
