ware, New Jersey, Maryland Ohio, In-
diana, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Iowa and Kansas for Lin
coin total, 100, independent of the Pa
citic States, which it says have probably
chosen four Lincoln electors.
It claims the State of New York for
Lincoln by over ten thousand, and
that enough Union members have been
elected to Congress to ensure the requi-
site two-thirds vote in the House to
insure the prohibition of slavery by a
constitutional amendment. The New
York delegation stands - Union.
The World comedies Lincoln's cleo
ton, claiming only New York, Ken

Mcclellan, and Pennsylvania, Oregon,
California and Nevada in doubt, but
most likely for Lincoln. The Times
claims 1873 electoral votes for Lincoln,
with the probability as all the West ex-
cept Kentucky and Missouri, with pos
sibly New Jersey.
