Some folks profess to be nervous over
the result in Vermont. A man who
could have suggested that there was any
probability of the Liberal party defeating
the Grant gentlemen in the Green Noun
tain state would stand fair chance of
heing incsrccratel in the nearest insane
asylum on the shortest notice. As the
campaign progresses, We begii to indulge
in figures, absolute numerical dgures
Nobody about the national headquarters
here ever entertained for a moment the
hope that VIC woul carry Vermont Last
night and to day we have talked over the
prospects in the country. Looking at
them from this elevated position, the
slate is clear and bright Let Vermont
and Maine 90 for Grant and his rings
Mr. Greeley's success does not depend
on the electoral vote Of those states, But
the question arises. what states
WILL 60 FOR GREELEY?
Letus see aboutit Now, for instance
we can count up the states which Grant
is next certain to carry These may be
numbered as follows: Maine. Vermont,
Massachusetts. South Carolina, Ohio.
Michigan, Iowa. Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Kansas and Nebraska That is mcgre

tucky, Tennessee. Indiana, Illinois. Mis-
sour, Oregon, Arkansas, Texas, CaIifor.
MIA, West Virginia. Nevada.
These states cast two hundred and for
ty eight electoral votes. That elects
Greeley. But there arc several states not
enumerated in these lists Let them be
set down in column Of doubtful Then
let Mr.. Grant capture the doubtful But
with triumph in all the uncertain com
monwealths, Useless S. Grant has not the
slightest chance Of election.
