Lincoln's majority over the fusio: in New
! York has been rising every day, and has now
turned that point of 10000 which doubtless
saves in many Republican bets. The latest
tootings make this majority 5l,1G6, but it
will 60 even higher than that. 1t is little
singular how the majority has grown. Start
ing at 10000, it has added about two thous-
and daily until now, and with vel margin
left for further gains. There is mine of re-
publican votes in the interior to be developed
whenever wanted.
! In 1856, the vote for Buchanan and Fill
more in New York city was 6l.S35 now the
/ fusion, anti-Lincoln vote is G2,3oS, an in
crease of 1913. In 1856. Fremont's vote was
| 17.77l, and the vote for Lincoln now is 49,
OO7, gain of 1926. The growth of four
years is thus altogether republican. Even in
/ the uncongenial soil of New York city, re-
publicanism grows as fast as the city, as fast
as life.
The three Douglas electoral votes in New
Jersey are sure, but it will. take the official
result to show who has the other four, Lin
coin or the Bell-Breckinridge fusion. Ed
mund Brewer, one of the Bell electors on the
fusion ticket, is surely defeated, losing 600
votes in Camden county alone. AS between
the other three, Zone Bell and two Breckin-
ridge,) and the republican electors, the vote
so far as known is very close. varying but a
hundred or two. The Trenton True Demo-
crat believes the republicans will elect four,
but the Newark Mercury, confident Only of
one, lin place of Brewery says the others
are not SO certain.
Lncoln's majority will be so large in
PENNSYLVANIA that but little effort is made to
get the returns before their official announce
ment. Forty-two counties, which gave Cur
tin 1906 majority, or little more than half
what he got in the state, now give Lincoln
81 $50 over the Reading ticket. His plural
ity over this ticket (bolted in great meas
ure by the Douglasites,) will be over 100000;
and his majority over everything, more than
$4,000. That is a nut for South Carolina to
crack.
The plurality for Breckinridgein Maryland
is 4O4, which may be slightly varied by the
official returns from counties now only repor-
ted by majorities. Douglas gets about 5000
votes in the state and Lincoln 5000, of which
100 is in Baltimore city, and 500 in Ale
gbany county. Cecil county delaware and
Pennsylvania corner,) gives Lincoln l5S.
The Bell men do not yet give up Virginia,
although we think they will have to. The
vote is very close between Bell and Breckin-
ridge, with large gains for the former and
only small margin left for the latter Doug
lass vote will not exceed 10000, while Lin
coins will reach 1000 and perhaps 20 above
it. The counties known as the panhandle, u
from their peculiar location between the
states of Pennsylvania and Ohio, give some
1900 votes for Lincoln, 1000 to Douglas, 400
to breckenridge and 1900 to Bell.
Northern Illinois has sent down 4l.7OO
majority for Lincoln for Egypt to chew up
ON, and $4,000 is believed to be the best it
car do for Douglas. while not as much as
that is expected. The republican majority
in these counties is $4,000 greater than two
years ago. when the republican state ticket
was elected by 5000. The democrats sent
their five Congressman BY narrow maiorities;
Richardson and McClernand barely squeeze
in, in the Quincy and Springfield districts,
where the majorities two years ago were
5000 in each. 1t is possible yet that Giles
pie (republican) may be elected over Fouke
in the 9TH (Beleville) district. The legisla-
ture is sure republican, the republican legis-
lative tickets ever running ahead of Lincoln
in the doubtful counties. Alton and Spring
field, the residences of Trumbull and Lin.
coin, for the first time give republican major
tiles.
1t is doubtful after all if Douglas has car
ried Missouri. Breckenridge takes larger
share ofthe democratic vote in the Arkansas
tier of counties, and in forty-four counties
heard from Bell leads by 1900. The state is
now claimed for him by 5000. If this be
taken away, Douglass electoral vote is re-
duced to the three that he gets by the fusion
in New Jersey. The republican vote is 49,
500 already, and will, it is claimed, rise to
10000. This is about the estimate made
