FIgurlnr On the Presideuor.

(From the Phila. PresS)
The following States cast Democratic
majorities at the last elections held In
them: Alabama, Delaware, Georgia, In.
diana, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri,
Nevada, New Jersey, Tennessee, Texas,
Virginia, and West Virginia. Giving to
Greeley the electoral votes Of all OF these
except Indiana, and also that OF New
York, which the Democrats are tolerably
sure to regain, and then adding to the
Greeley column the six States of Arkan.
sas, California, Connecticut, Louisiana,
Mississippi, and New Hampshire, which,
though they went Republican at their
last elections, may be considered doubtful,
the Electoral College would stand thus :
For Grant and Wilson. n......................l 1856
For Greeley and BroWn.......... ...,.... 1871
Total electoral votes. 366
But the six Republican States which
we have granted may possibly be carried
by the Coalition, are not q whit more
doubtful than the four at present Demo.
cratic States Of Alabama, Delaware, Ne.
vada and New Jersey. If only a small
per centage Of the Democrats refuse to
vote, or give their ballots to Grant in
preference to Greeley, all these four
States may go Republican. Adding them,
therefore, to the six before enumerated,
we have ten doubtful States, one.half OF
which at least Grant is likely to get, and
yet Greeley might carry thom all, and
still fall four short of majority in the
Electoral College.
The following table will better illus.
