The State elections will probably, to
a considerable extent, influence each
other, the floating vote always runni,o
more or less with the prevalent tide. bnl
as the succession happens to fall cncour-
agcment is likely to be pretty evenly
distributed. Thus the first State election
that Of Vermont, Scptcmb,r lst-
will IF course be Republican success,
California, on the following ,lay. will rs
certainly show a triumph for the Demo
Gratis. The Maine election, Scp,embcr
l4lh, will be much more interesting and
significant, because it cannot be counted
as n forcgnnc conclusion. The Rcpub.
lican majority Of 10000 in 1866 was
reduced by $4,000 votes in 1867. If
the process of reduction is suil goinr on
and this Democratic leaders sanruinc.
