The smalncSs Of the vote here given
for 1863 is partly accounted for by the
fact that 4,7i} votes were given to the
Temperance candidate. In the Lcgisla'
turc chosen last year the Republicans had
g majority in the Senate and % in the
House. The republicans carried all the
Congress districts two years ago by these
maiorirics: 1st-l ,40G; 9nd-2,3l7; 3rd
1920; 4,h-2GlO; 5lh-l,2lO.
The candidates for Governor at Mon
days election were SIDNEY PERHAM, Re.
publican, (incumbcnt,) and CHARLES p,
KlMGALL, Democrat. The candidates

ed still further by the ballots Of Disguised
Democrats.
We can hardly expect quite such re-
suits as these in the Middle States that
are 70 vote in October. The GREELEY

New England. bu: the probabilities are We

probabilities. I: Pennsylvania should

GREELEY. Ii BCcEALEw is elected, il
will be because the Republican candidate
for Governor cannot command the full
vote Of his party. The reasons that may
defeat HARTRASFT will not operate in the
presidential canvass.
Nothing has transpired thus lar in the
canvass 10 justify the hopes Of the opposl-
ton. Election after election shows the
Republican ranks almost unbrOken. The
GREELEY wave is already rcCcding 1t
has become perfectly apparent to the
country that Mr.. GREELEY's success
would be u success for the Democratic
party and must result in restoring that
party TO the control Of the government.
That is something that great majority OF
the people Of the United States cannot
consent to. Accordingly, Republicans who
for weeks alter the Cincinnati Convention
were resolved to vote for GREELEY, have
made uD their minds, reluctantly it is true
but definitely, that they will have to give
him up. They can't vote with the De.
mocracy, and they have nothing left but
TO 20 for GRANT. There arc Democrats,
too, in abundance who realize what q
calamity il would be to the country
tor the party that hears their name, or.
ganiZed rs il is, to come At the present
time into power, and who will quietly
vote from motives prudence to continue

apridC in the name and history and prin.
ciplcs Of their party, arc unwilling to i'm.
molatc them all by voting Tor their lie.
long enemy. They arc appealed to to
vote Tor GREELEY TO beat GHAET; but
they ask themselves why should they not
rather desire to beat GREELEY and vote
Tor GRANT accordingly, GRANT having
been Democrat up to his election, while
GREELEY never has been and Avows he s
not one now.
The tide is setting strongly in favor o!
GRANT; and before November, should the
opposition fail 10 gain signal victories in
October, ii vii! be irresistible.
