All these States have given con.
tihuous and decided Republican

in Ohio compares with that Of 1867

sylrania, VIC have no moral doubt
that the twenty six electoral votes
of that State will be given, by.a
popular majority OF not less than
10000. for Grant and Coliax. Tho
verdict OF Pennsylvania will be
known from her State election on
the 18Th of October, a..l.s.
On the basis of the Maine clac

10000 But this is too narrow u
margin TO calculate upon With any

| Connecticut voted Democratic iu
fhc general ebb of 1867 by 9ST
majority, ia a total vote OF 9i,l54
In 1866 tho Republicans carried the
State by Sal, in 1865 by II OBS,
and in 1861 by 2.4OG, Upon tho
basis of Vermont and Maine, we
would carry Connecticut by about
5000. We have very confident
hopes of gaining the six electoral
votes of Connecticut il the canvass
is,pushed with vigor.
California, partly owing to 10
!, publican divisions, was carried by
the Democrats in 1867, by 7,45S
majority, in q total vote of 92,352
If the Republicans of California
should gain, on tho vote OF 1867,
eight per cent, rs ,hcir brethren
have done in Maine, they would
barely lose the State by one hun.
drsd votes, Lincoln carried the
State, in 1861 By 1925. Califor
MIA owes a debt of gratitude to the
! Republican party for her Pacific
Railroad. The contest will be close
and hopeful, but we can not yet
predict favorable result.
