The Richmond palladium. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1855-1875, 1868-07-28

One hundred and fifty nine votes are
all that is necessary for election, and IN
the above tables there are are loo cleo
toral votes, without counting one oil the
Southern State engaged in the Rebellion
In the list Of States given, eyery one
save three, in which a State election IA S
been held in the last Is months, has
gone Democratic IN all, the local eiec-
tions have exhibited great Democratic
gains, sufficient to insure the state for
the Democracy this fall. We have not
counted Illinois in the liat- but the tel
there was no doubt bu. PendietoD would
carry that State. If it would be certain
for Pendleton, then it can be safely
counted for Seymour and Blair. In ad-
dition to this, the States of Alabama,
Georgia, and Mississippi ale certain to
give Democratic majority with any
fair chance for voting. This will give
24 more electoral votes and swell the
Democratic columns to lS4. But the
Republicans are laboring har to ex
clude the votes of the States OF Virginia.
Texas, and Mississippi, by Legislation
in Congress. If the electoral votes of
these States are not counted, then there
will be in the Electoral College 294
votes. and I49 viii be all that will be
necessary to elect. The Democracy can
then lose OHIO, and stin secure % major
ity of the Electoral College, without
counting any from the South: or, by
carrying Ohio, they can lose Missouri,
Wisconsin, and Kansas. and still elect
their ticket without receiving vote from
the South There is, therefore. every
reason for encouragement TO the Democ
racy. and the election Of Seymour and
Blair may be put down as a certainty
COMMENTS BY THE TRIBUNE.
We have given The Woalds bulletin

see how bad the case really is. Ohio

every Presidential and every Governor
Election since there was a Republican

Missouri gave Lincoln 7l,676 votes
to 81 ,626 for Mcclellan, and a; her last
election (1s66) gave 62.ls7 Republican
to 4o. .95s Democrat. We are quite aware
that Prices army has returned TO the
State, and is solid fol Seymour and
Blair; but not man of it can lawfully
vote, and the Republicans hold the Reg
istries Missouri may not give Gram
quite so large majority as Massachus
etts will, but she can hardly fail to give
him 10000.
Kansas never yet failed to go largel;
Republican since the Missouri Bordel
Ruff1ans stopped voting the Cincinnati
Directory at her polls, and at her las
Governors election (1s66) thus pro

Her vote for Congress was just abou
the same. She will this Fall poll 500
votes, whereof Grant and Colfax wi

do not guess this: we infer it from he
