This leaves Pennsylvania in doubt, and
as l79 votes are necessary to a choice, as
goes Pennsylvania $50 goes the Union" If
Pennsylvania casts a majority of her votes
for Hartranft in October she will do the same
for Grant in November, and will carry the
close States of Alabama, Indiana, LOuisi-
ana, Nevada, New York, Oregon and West
Virginia, with their seventy three votes,
over to Grant. While, on the other hand,
if her October election goes against the
Cameron artranft combination, her ma
jority in November will be still larger
against Grant, and the close States Of Ala
bama, California, Connecticut, Nebraska,
Illinois and Wisconsin, with their fifty five
votes, and probably Ohio, with her twenty
two, will be cast against Grant and for the
successful opposition.
The ticket that will achieve this result is
Andrew G. Curtin, of Pennsylvania, for

A sure Majority in Nsvcmber for the Lib.

position misunderstanding the Elcc.
toral Votes in Advance.
Correspondence Of the New York world.l
PHILADELPHIA, April 23-The democrat
ization Of the Grant Republicans in Penn
sylvania is becoming SO widespread that
nothing less than the withdrawal Of U. s.
Grant from his candidacy for the Presi-
deiicy win serve to arrest it. The action of
the Cameron Grant convention at Harris
burg ON the tenth instant has already
proven such Bull Run disaster as the
combined political acumen OF Grant and
Cameron will be utterly powerless to re-
trieya. The nomination Of Senator Scott
for the Vice Presidency will but add to the
load.
The casting about of Cameron and Grant
for Vice Presidential candidate from this
State shows conclusively the weakness of
the administration forces, and it has given
the Cincinnati movement an impetus that
must be highly gratifying to those inter-
ested in it. There is not Grant Repub-
lican in the State, Cameron included, but is
weeping bitter tears over the distressing
fact that the Philadelphia convention does
not meet till June; were it to meet prior to
the Cincinnati convention, Andrew g. Cur
tin would be the choice Of the convention
for Vice President as certainly as Grant
would be chosen for the first place on the
ticket.
One of the administration postmasters of
this State was at the law Office Of Colonel
A.. X. Mcclure day or two ago, trying to
effect compromise that would give the
State to Grant next November. Mcclure,
having passed the rnbicon and ''burnt the
bridges behind him." is not q compromiser.
A meeting of Liberal Republicans was
held here to-day, and, among other things,
the probable result of the coming Presi
dental election was considered. The fol-
lowing States were conceded to Grant, ard
the others counted on as opposed to him:
