In Indiana the main election is in
October. Mr.. Hendricks, the Demo
cratic candidate for Governor, was
only beaten by 100 votes. In 1870
the Democrats carried-fhe State by a
majority of $500 If they could do
this on their unaided vote, who doubts
that, with the aid of at least 10000
Liberal Republicans, making a change
of 4O, 900 votes, they are not absolutely
certain of success? Does any one be-
lieve the 5I4 majority Grant obtained
in California, and the 8, ,045 he secured
in Connecticut, will not be swept
away by the Liberal detection? i. Il.
BarnUm, Esq, assured us that there
were more than 500 Liberals in Bridge
port alone, and fully 10000 in the State.
Since 1868 the Republican majority in
New Hampshire has never exceeded
3, 100. Two years ago the Democrats
carried it by 1000. Last March the
Republicans had, we believe, less than
2, 900 majority. OF course the Liberals
will give this, his native State, TO
Greeley. Alabama, which gave the
trihing majority Of 4, 600 for Grant, has
been carried since by the Democrats.
1t has now a Democratic Governor and
Legislature, and will certainly vote
for Greeley. The certain account
stands thus:

Here is within two of enough. But
we are going to take the 20 votes Of
Pennsylvania as certainly as Grant
gets the I3 Of Massachusetts,. She only
gave 26, 900 majority for Grant on
poll of 657, 900 votes. There are 10000
Liberal Republicans, at least, in her
borders. This makes a change of 6O,-
OO0 Last year the Democrats came
within 1900 votes of elccting their
State ticket. The main fight will be
in October. Colonel FOrney and many
other Grant men are opposing General
HaTtIauft, the Grant candidate for
Governor. He, it is admitted by all,
will be badly beaten, being man of
bad character, and supported by Cam
erOn's thieying ring Our friends IN
Pittsburg and Philadelphia say the
majority for Buckalew, the Greeley
candidate, will be 10000 at least. This
will settle Grant. His party will not
even rally in November. We resume
our table:

This elects, with 27 to spare. But,
in addition, we claim FloFida's cleo
toral votes. The Democrats carried it
by a majority of 200 at the last election
i'm 1870. We claim the ten votes of
North Carolina, having actually carried
it at the late election, after the fraudu-
lent votes were thrown out, as they
will be. Grant can not poll within
10000 of as many votes in North Caro-
lima as his party did in August. We
shall take Ohio. The Liberal vote
must be 25, 1000, involving a change Of
$4,000. The majority for Hayes for
Governor was but 10000. This gives
us the State 10y 10000. In Illinois, al
though Grant had large majority IN
1867, he will be beaten in 1872. In no
State in the Union Is the LlDeTal cause
more energetically advocated ana
backed up by so many Liberal Repub-
Iicaus. We believe that Greeley and
Brown will receive its electoral vote by
full O,OO0. Thus the account will then
stand:
hyoTtII Car0iiua -. .................-. 10
Illinois. q
We expect the 10 electoral votes Of
Wisconsin, where the Republican ma
iority was less than 10, go last year.
This will be easily pulled down by the
thousands Of Liberal Republicans
among the Germans, with whom the
State is flied. Our friends in Nebraska
believe we shall carry that State,
beaten about 2, 500 In 1871. They also
think, in Rhode Island, that the in
fluence OF Senator Sprague, who has
always carried the State IN his pocket,
and who is now for Greeley, will be
sufficient to revoiutionize it in N0vem-
Der. That would bring our electoral
vote to 2S5. There are 364 electoral
votes. Of which Grant would receive
50. We have enough for Greeley Dy
this calculation and nearly 100 70 spare
We could afford to lose literally upon
il. and still have an abundant n.argln
IInon which TO 90. The indications OF
this canvass almost precisely resemble
fine memorable race Of General scout
in Ig52 against General Pierce lie
carried 4 States, and had AZ electoIai
votes. Pierce got q States ana Zo4
| electoral votes 1t is not Wlthlh the
newer OF the pins this year 10 beat
| f,reeley and Brown. The coalltlon
between the Liberal Republicans anu
tbe Democrats will do General Grants
! business.
