very largely BuchAnans vote. Ascending to our
figures Payne Is seven thousand better than Mr.
Buchanan in the same counties last year There
are ninety counties in Ohio and il the ratio continued
throughout the State Chase will be defeated At any
rate we think IL will be very close contest We think
Chase had better look after that twenty thousand MAORI
