The Outlook for the Presidency.

The Outlook for the Presidency.
Looking OF the matter calmly in the hSn'
of the latest though incomplete returns
we are prepared to say in all s'hcei''.
that we have really been more irl5oteh@"
than hurt BY The elections OF !aSt '"eS"a!
Nav. moro than That. although we arc q! NC
means ne we'll oil as we expected TO he, VIZ
IN truth have more reason to-day than eFei
nerare 70 look forward to the election .
GREELEY and BRowS.
What was the rcsul: Of Tuesdays work
Il is said that VIC have lost Pennsylvania
Not 50; she has never been ours. But We
loneed to have her twcnty4nlne clcct"f'
votes, for they would have placed Us bcyonc
the possibility Of defeat, and preSumins upon
the fact that the Radical State ticket 'hci'
was headed by an acknowledged rogue H'
evrccted too much. She remains where sht
s,ood IN 1850. 1861, ard 1S6S-with the Re-
npb,Icans. And OHIO? No wCl!-intorued
y,;htr.,J OF Democrat could have expected
absolute victory for Us in that state, hut We
did expect great @ainS III Ohio. ana right
nobly, according 10 IL" present returns, has
she met our expectations. \ State Whlri'
has for eleven years given an average me
iorjtv Of 81. 900 for the Republicans (oncc CIV
ing 100000 now gives that plii! barely h.
800. Have VIC not here caus" for con@i;l' UE'-
ton. A reduction "r $4,000 Is not 'il''''
no,ter. /, is Il great matter In view " the
immense struggle, OF the Administration
p,r4y 10 increase thcii majority, ana Their
hoyl that they would do il. Hard work
will rive us Chic in November; but we can
do Without her.
And now it appears we have carried IN
diapa-or, If we have not carried, we miss it
BY the tribe OF a hundred or so votes. And
who of lis would not have been will
Ing on last Monday to give the Radical,
PENNSYLVANIA with Indiana for the Demo
crazy and a Liberal gain Of $1,000 III Ohio
as an offset. Bcaten--ladly bcatcp--at one
point, we have had @rcal victory i'll
another, and still another.
Vow look for moment IT lie electoral
college. consisting Of $3.50 votes. Of which Il
candidate must receive Isl 10 be successful.
The following are sure for GREELEY aud
Brown, and the Radicals admit it:
Alabama, 10; Arkansas, G; Connecticut 6;
Delaware. 8; Florida, 4; Georgia, II; hen-
,ucky, II; Louisiana, s: Maryland, $; Mis-
souri,, Is; New Jersey. 8; New York, 50 :;
Tennessee, II; Texas. s; NirGinla, IL:
West yirgiuia, 5-tota', 1G5. adding H.
diana, now assured to IL, we lave rs; OF
within six of a sufficient number 10 elect.
Now here are ting states which both
sides admit to be doubttul-vz., California,
Il; Iliuois.2l ; Minnesota. ); MisSis>ippi,S ;
Nevada, 8: New IlampShire,3; North Caro-
lima. 10; Wisconsin, 10.
Illinois is generally considered The strong
hold OF the Liberal Republicans. The scccs-
SION from the old party in that State was led
Nv the foremost Republicans IN the State
men like Governor PALMER, Governor koER-
NEE. aud Others. Here is The seat Of tie
Chicago YriJonc, the greatest and most in
t1ucntml paper IN the Northwest. and 1t Il
doing woman service for the Liberia! catl-c.
Here are thousands Of Germans, who are
pledged to Liberalism TO the last extremity.
Under such circumstances the Liberals in II
,inois nrp confident Of victory, and with Hi
nois we have fifteen more votes than arc ne
ccsSaly to elect our candidates. Or there Is
North Carolina, in abundant caution cla>>i'
fed as doubtful. Who doubts that when they
know how close the battle. The Conservative:
Ct that State will arouse, overcome the SINAI
rauGulcnl majority registered against them
and give liz iour more electoral votes thar
VIZ need.
III the same way we might speak of Cali
tornia, which is rs likely to be Democratic
and Republican, and with her six votes W.
would be safe.
Is there, then, any reason for dcsp"nd
sncy! Ought not our victories in Georgia
Connecticut, Indiana, and Ohio, is well Il:
our single defeat, to incite lis to renewed nc
tivity! With o,nyasS marked by the wis
dom Of that in Ohio and Indiana, aud by the
energy and enthusiasm of that III Georgia
the redemption Of The country from Radica]
misrule Is easily accomplished
