TIE PROSPECT FOR TO-DAY.

Inc OeErolt 1TlOuNe gives y EeNleH "a
the canvass in the several States, and
the prospects. We condense its state
ment in regard to the political outlook;
mississippi, Texas and Virginia may
nmuse themselves by going through
the form Of an election, but the Ques-
ton as to whether they viii or NOT mas
ceased to possess the slightest practical
Importance. The States which will
choose electors alone are Vermont
Maine, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana
West Virginia, Nebraska, Alabama
Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, new
Hampshire and Oregon. or these all
save Alabama, Connecticut, georgia
and Oregon are certain 10 choose ne
publican electors, and those named Ars
doubtful with the chances In our favor.
Michigan will choose electors Stale
officers and Congressman by mimi
mum majority OF twenty thousand In
the State and clear majority in every
Congressional district.
New York gave the Democrats fifty
Thousand majority last year, and they
have made arrangements, by naturali-
Eatiou frauds, &c., to roll up an enorm-
Gus vote in New York city. II Will thus
be seen that our friends are laboring
under enormous disadvantages. As 10
the result in the State at large we are
hopeful, but not over-contdent, and
We do not expect to again carry all the
Congressional districts that gave us
majorities in 1866.
Massachusetts elects State officers and
Congressman. Everything will be car
ried by immense mPtorities, including
the Fifth district, -
Illinois is certain to give an immense
Republican majority for Grant. and to
elect the Republican State ticket, ana
at least nine OF the Republican candi-
dates for Congress.
Kentucky will give the Democratic
national ticket majority OF the most
enormous character. 1t will be less,
however, than that rolled mp for the
Democratic State ticket in August last.
This State also elects Congressman, and
the Republicans have hopes of carrying
at least the Eighth district, where Col.
s. N. Barnes is our candidate.
Iowa elects state officers and Con-
gressmen as well as electors. We shall
make a clean sweep of this State, carry
ing even the Third Congressional dis
triCt, where there is a totally upjustifa-
BILE bolt against the denomination of
Hon. VIM. b. Allison. l.. A. Thomas,
of Dubuque. is the boiling candidate.
Missouri will vote for Grant, but the
Republicans will lose several Congress-
meg.
Wisconsin will give Grant decisive
| majority, and in the Congressional dis
tricts we shall certainly hold our own.
This State does not elect State officers.
In New Jersey the contest is close
and the result is doubtful. The Re-
publicans hope to elect their guberna-
toriAl candidate and carry three of the
Congressional districts. They are max
ing u spirited fight, but against heavy
odds.
California is one of the doubtful
| states, and has latterly been claimed
" he naFnnrFaNn hmm
regaining the state, and OF gaining at
least one congressman.
Tennessee we shall certainly carry
| for General Grant, and we shall also
elect our candidates in nearly all the
Congressional districts. The state
elects no state officers.
Maryland will give large majority
| for MIR. Seymour, aud we cannot carry
more than twp of the Congressional
districts at the utmost.
The states of Arkansas, Louisiana
| North Carolina and South Carolins
elect congressman next week, and We
expect TO carry all these states for Gen
eral Grant, and TO elect majority 81
the congressman, .ElE--.ifEef
Delaware Will probably cast her cleo
torial vote for Mr.. Seymour, and will
elect j. F. Briggs (dem.) TO Congress
over the Republican nominee, General
T. A. Torbert. %
| huOue 1Slauu Will give a na0uSOme
Republican majority, and will re.eIect
Messrs, Jenckes aud Dixon TO IhG
House of Representatives. Nevada is
claimed by the democrats, but may he
properly considered as doubtful, with
the chances in our favor.
Minnesota and Kansas are beth
certain to give large Republican ma
lIorities, although we may lose a con-
gresham in the Second Minnesota dis
TricC on account OF dissension there. O
G. Andrews is the regular candidate
but Iguatius Donnelly runs AS amin
dependent candidate. z1-
Senatorial successors also depend up
on the result in Massachusetts, Mich
igan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada
New York, Tennessee, New Jersey anC
Wisconsin. Ofthe legislature of thest
nine states we are certain OF six, and
probably two more, with fair cbancE
for the ninth one.
To sumo up, 1t seems to US at present
that one hundred and seventy-foul
ELECTORAL votes are sure for General
Grant, and twenty.one for Mr.. Sey'
mour. We have placed eighty-tWC
votes as doubtful, and think that al
| least fifty-five OF these are almost Ger.
| tain to be cast for the Repu bIican can,
didRtes.
