Victory Vet in the air
How then stands the case? Alabama
will give Greeley and Brown ten cleo
toral votcs; Connecticut, six; Florida,
four; Kentucky, y; Maryland, eight;
y York, 35i New Jersey, ninei Tenn
essee, twelve; Virginia, eleven, West
Virginia, five; Arkansas, six; DelewaTe.
three; Georgia, eleven; Louisian
eight: Missouri fifteen; Texas, eight;
California, six; Indiana fifteen, and
North Carolina ten; making in all one .
hundred and ninety four. The indi (
cations are that Graut and Wilson will
receive the electoral votes of the fol-
lowing States: Iowa, eleven; Maine
seven; Massachu usetts, thirteen; Rhode
Island. four; Vermont, FIVE; PennsyI
vania twenty~niue; Michigan, eleven;
Kansas. five; Ohio twenty two; New
braska. three: aud South Carolina seven
making in all one hundred aud
seventeen.
The number Of electoral votes nee
! essary to a choice is one hundred and
| eighty four. According to our figures
the States which are almost certain to
support the Liberal candidates will
: rive them ten votes in excess of the
: requisite number. II it should turn
out that we are mistaken in some oil
$ the States we have olassed for Greeley
!, and Brown there Is still wide margin
. to 20 upon.
- ~. -s.-.--, --;.r. .l.-s~ sieetornl
u votes. are as follows: Illinois, u
WISCONSIN, 10; Nliunesota, . Nevada
Z 3; New Hampshire, ; Oregon, ,, and
o Mississippi s. Iu Oregon and Nevada
n the Liberals are confident Of success
and Greeleys chances are decided J
better than Grants. Our friends il
e Illinois believe that her twenty one
s votes will be given to Greeley aud
, there is fair prospect of carrying
: both Wisconsin and MiSnesota if the
Liberals and Democrats work as they
t. ought to do between now aud No
e yembcr.
We do not, of course, pretend thai
our figures are infallible, but from th'
= lights before Us they are about as cor
<. rect as can be made; and We advise ouI
ie Radical friends to regulate their ex
y pectations accordingly.
- We are not discouraged at all. VIZ
r see in Tuesdays elections the extrem
ls est stretch of the Radical tether. We
u see in the November prospect very
different condition OF things. We sex
all the States in line, and not two oi
o three outposts to be taken by detail
N We see Illinois rally to the side Of In
Z diana, and New Hampshire and Con
necticut aud New Jersey come up tt
= the support of New York. We see 4
e united South rolling into tbs West
ie and leapiug forward, with the pangs Of
hunger and delay, upon the thiuned
aud scattered columns Of the enemy
If We see the pacific coast, like Butcher
, at Waterloo, come in 4 little late, but
u still in time. We see, at this moment
;; all about US an undaunted body ol
t Liberals, stuog into action by repulse
but full of nerve anG grit, equally firm
II IN defeat as in victory
''sieady they step adown the slope
Steady they mount the hill;
D. Steady they load, steady they hrc,
Moving right onward still
d We see all this, and We say, the day
r is nat lost; we have not yet even
y brought up our reserves; the enemy
. has spent his force, and we have as
;. pretty a thing before US as brave aud
= capable men could desire. We say
this aud we mean it. We say this and
" " we will stand to it, having no greater
h or more immediate interest in the re-
20 suit than our neighbors.
