publican majority Of 1 900 in Cincin-
natl in the springs Of 1867, and 2, 900
in the fall, is almost entirely wiped
out in 1868. Dubuque, Iowa, goes
Democratic; Atchison, Kansas like

all show largo gains over 1867. In

political horizon, and from every de

There is another consideration that

which instructs for Graut, goes Re-
publican by q decreased. majority.
Connecticut instruct for Grant, and a
perfect Waterloo defeat to his party
imediately follows. In Ohio and iif
Iowa, where the Democratic people
instruct for Pcndleton, the most
brilliant victories are won, or the
largest gains are made, such as Gin
