One of the most significant features of the pre-

SOME FIGURES THAT WON'T LIE.
From the State Journa'

rIOAl lie DtdLe OOurnal.
1t is often asserted that Figures won't lie but
do they not sometimes convey false impressions /?
y AS an illustration of the various uses to which
figures are putt we instance the statement~so COM
monty made, that Grants majority over seymour,
at the Presidential election in this state in 1862
was "a 107, and that in the year following at the
gubernational election. Fairchild's majority over
Robinson, was only 1868
These figures are doubtless correct as compiled
from official sources, and the conclusion is drawn
by some-ihdeed it isa very common but falla-
cions argument Of Democratic politicians-that if
the Repu blican majority could be reduced in one
year from $4,000 to 5000, then it would require
the votes of but few so called "Liberal Repub-
canss" in each precinct this fall to whittle sucn
majority down to nothing, and carry the State for
Greeley. Unfortunately for the 'Dolly Yard ens,'
aD~analysis of these very votes shows that there
was not the slightest change in the relative
strength of the two parties at the election men
toned
The vote of1s68 is officially stated as follows:
For Grant 1903, 900
For Seymour S4,793
Total 193 693
The vote for 1869, as follows
For Robinson 81 239
Total 1so.741
Thus showing falling of in one year-between
the Presidential and Gubernatorial elections of
6s,952, or nearly one third of the entire vote
of the State, and on comparison we find that the
Republican loss was 3939S
Democratic loss was %, 554
Excess of Republican loss 1884
Add Fairchild's majority 1898
Total 941o7
Which last total IS the enact q mount of Grants
majority IN 1868
This may be called singular coincidence, but
is none the less plain and palpable fact which
very forcibly illustrates the folly of relying on
small majorities at State election as a basis for
s'fguring OUT the defeat of the Repu lican can
didate at Presidential eection,-.he full relative
strength of the parties having always been
brought out at Presidential but seldom or never at
State elections.
The Republican party has had a clear, solid,
working majority in Wisconsin, during the past
twelve years of at least $4,000 and in this connec-
ton we call the attention of all candid and int ell
Igenti Investigators to the following official ma
jorities of the last three Presidential elections
viz:
1860-Linceln over Douglas 210s9
1864-Lincoln over Mcclellan 17138
1o6S-Grant over Seymour 24.107
We therefore confidently predict majority for
Gen. Grant in Wisconsin in November next of at
least Twenty Thousand, and are strongly con-
frmed in our estimate by reliable reports from all
parts of the State.
