The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1871-09-01


Supposing the two parties to hold
their ground in the States put down
as Democratic and Republican, the
Democrats would have to draw six
votes from the States set down as
doubtful to elect a President. To
carry Connecticut would accomplish
that. New Jersey, which has gener-
ally been Democratic, and which
there is probability the Democrats
will secure again, would give one vote
more than wanted. Texas would Sc
cure the election to that party under
the circumstances we have assumed.
Then there are the two great States
of Pennsylvania and Ohio, which, to
all appearances, viii be debatable
ground. Of course, either of them,
without Connecticut, New Jersey and
Texas, would give more votes than
necessary to elect a Democrat. In
fact, with either Ohio or Pennsyl-
vania, the Democrats could afford to
lose two or three of the smaller States
set down in the Democratic column,
as New Hampshire, Florida and Ar
kansas, and still have votes to spare.
But, supposing New York, which is
now Democratic throughout, should,
through late events and mismanage-
ment, be revolutionized and go for the
Republican presidential candidate,
there would be still Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Connecticut, New Jersey and
Texas to fall back upon. Pennsyl-
yania and New Jersey would make
up for the loss of New York. Ohio,
New Jersey and Connecticut, even
with the loss of both New York and
Pennsylvania, would give the election
to the Democrats if the other States
should stand as placed above.

Of the wounded and 'willsprove fatal
to others who have not been other

the accident was simply that the en-
gineer of the express train chose to
plunge his train into one standing at
the station before him. The accom-
mediation train made several stops to
get passengers, and the express
train for Bangor left on time, and
ran the highest allowable rate of

to tl.'e engineer to be careful, as there

KAISER GRANT owns 100000

Grant was poor man, without any
business qualifications. He has re-
ceived not over $4,000 as salary for
services rendered to the Government,
yet he is millionaire. Many Radi-
cal Senators and Congressman, who
a few years ago were very poor, are
now immensely rich, with poor sala-

counted for in the fact that many Of our fellow

A New dodge"

The Sentinel of yesterday announces that
DoDeE's attorney has given notice of his inten-
tion to contest the election of Col. SHANNON as
Public Prosecutor. The motive TO such action
is stated to have arisen from the discovery Of ls
ballots with Col. SuANSOS's name lightly eros
sed by penciT naTR and which was not perceiy-
ed by the judges at the time of counting the vote.
In view Of the fact tina: all Of the gentlemen
on that board were opposed to Col. SHANNON,
and were desirous Of defeating him more than
any other local candidate, we can only view the
opera ton OF DoDoE's lawyer rs rHse de guerre
Of the meanest kind, and we would beg TO suggest
IN Col. SHSSSoS, Ju lge MOrT and their friends
that II se-cxnmination Of the ballots in this and
also 10 some other townships, may possibly re-
cur 10 their material advantage.
