Alabama ..a.,"...... ...............IO 4,2Sl
In Indiana the main election is in
October, Mr.. Hendricks, the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor, was
only beaten by LOO votes. In 1870
the Democrats carried The State by a
maiority Of 300. If they could do
this on their unaidcd vote, who doubts
that, with the aid of at least 10000
Liberal Republicans, making change
OF 10000 votes, they are not absolutely
certain of success? Does any one be-
lieve the jl4 majority Grant obtained
in California, and the 3,O45 he secured
in Connecticut, will not be swept
away by the Liberal detection? p. r.
Barnum, Esq, assured us that there
were more than 800 Liberals in Bridge
port alone, and fully 10000 in the State.
Since 1865 the Republican majority in
New hampshire has never exceeded
3, 100. Two years ago the Democrats
carried it by 1000. Last March the
Republicans had, we believe, less than
1000 majority. OF course the Liberals
Will give this, his native State, to
Greeley. Alabama, which gave the
tritltng majority of 1000 for Grant, has
been carried since by the Democrats.
1t has now Il Democratic Governor and
Legislature, and will certainly vote
for Greeley. The certain account
stands thus:

Here is within two Of enough. But
we are going to take the - votes of
Pennsylvania as certainly as Grant
gets the Is of Massachusetts. She only
gave $1,000 majority for Grant ON a
poll of $4,000 votes. There are 10000
Liberal Republicans, at least, in her
borders This makes Il change Of co.
600. Last year the Democrats came
within 1900 votes of eleCtiu% their
State ticket. The main fight will be
in October. Colonel Forney and many
other Grant men are opposing General
HarlTanft, the Grant candidate for
Governor He, it is admitted by all,
will he badly beaten, being man of
tad character, and supported by Cam
crOn's thieying ring. Our friends in
Pittsburg aud Philadelphia say the
majority for Buckalcw, the Greeley
candidate, will he 10000 at least. This
will settle Grant. His party will not
even rally i'll November. We resume
our table:
Brought down. n...,.........,.. ............. ~

This elects, with - to spare. But,
in addition, We claim Florida's elec-
tOral votes. The Democrats carried it
by majority of POO at the last election
in 1870. We claim the ten votes OF
North Carolina, having actually carried
it at the late election, after the fraudu-
lent votes were thrown out, as they
will be. Grant can not poll within
10000 of as many votes in North Caro-
lima AS his party did in August. We
shall take Ohio. The Liberal vote
must be 25,00O, involving n change OF
$4,000. The majority for Hayes ful
Governor was but 10000 This gives
us the State by 10000. In Illinois, al
though Grant had large majority in
1867, he will be beaten in 1872. In nC
State in the Union is the Liberal cause
more energetically advocated and
backed up by so many Liberal Repub.
licans, We believe that Greeley and
Brown will receive its electoral vote by
full 10000. Thus the account will thel
stand:

We expect the 10 electoral votes o
Wisconsin, where the Republican ma
jority was less than 10000 last year
This will be easily pulled down 10y the
thousands of Liberal Republican,
among the Germans with whom tn,
State is filled. Our friends in Nebrask;
believe we shall carry that State
beaten about >, 900 in ISL. They ais,
think, in Rhode Island, that the in
fluence of Senator Sprague, who ha
always carried the State i'll his pocket
and who is now for Greeley, awill bt
sufficient to revolutionize it in Novem
ber. That would bring our electora
vote to 2S5. There are 367 electora
votes, of which Grant would receive
81. We have enough for Greeley by
this calculation and nearly 100 to spare
We could afford to lose literally upon
it, and still have an abundant margin
upon which to go. The indications o
this canvass almost precisely resemble
the memorable race of General Scot
in 1852 against General Pierce. He
carried 4 States, and had ~ electora
votes. Pierce got q States and %
electoral votes. 1t is not within thu
power of the pins this year to bea
Greeley and Brown. The coalition
between the Liberal Republicans ant
the Democrats will do General Grant
business.
