Democratic Expectations.

The following letter which we find in
the New York Tribune of Monday morn
ing, shows that Mr.. Kimball entertained
his rosy visions up to the last moment.
Poor man how he must have felt under
the news Monday evening.
My DEAR SIR Our canvass is now as
complete as we can make it, but the doubtful
votes are SO large that it is impossible to pre-
dict the result with any certainty. Many
towns report 10 per cent. and nearly all per
cent. Of the entire vote as doubtful. have
looked the returns over carefully, and have
come to the following conclusion: That we
shall reduce the radical majority of 1868
about 10000. You see by referring to the re-
turns that the Radicals carried the State in
1865 by $4,000 majority, on a vote of l3l, 700
/ estimate the vote this year at 1923 900, and
think we shall throw not less than 60 900, leav
ing their majority about 5000 or 1000 less
than 'GS. In this estimate do not claim any
portion of the doubtful votes.o If we get one
third of them it will reduce the majority still
more, unless the vote is larger than | esti-
mate; but am by no means sanguine of get
ting many of the doubtful votes; indeed
shall not be surprised if our opponents not
only get the doubtful votes, but many who do
not now claim to be doubtful, as they have
pleUty Oh money anu sPeaheis, anu aiS man
ing skillful use of all the party appliances to
get all the doubtful votes, and reclaim as
many as possible of the voters who have
openly declared for Greeley and Brown.
Our opponents claim MAORI Of $4,000
votes. but | do not think they expect to get
more than from G000 to 10, 900, and they can
not expect that unless they think they can re-
claim many who have openly declared against
them.
We have done all we could in an honorable
way, and are all hopeful that we shall not
dsappoint our friends In other sections of the
country, ard certainly shall not unless they
expect too much of us. We are confident we
shall reduce their majority of 1858 (and this
Is the only test vote for seven years) from
5000 to ~ 900; if we do either it will show
change sufficient to carry one-third more
States than we need to elect Mr. Greeley.
With these results we shall feel that our
friends in all parts of the country should be
satisfied. With kindes. regards, l remain
| yours, with esteem. c. p. kIMpAIL.

General Grant mt shiloh.

Col. Stewart Of Indiana, now in Washing
ton, has just received letter from General
J. d. Webster, chief Of staff to General Sher-
him, in view Of the charges that General
Grant was intoxicated at Shiloh. to state what
he knew of General Grants condition during
the two days of battle, which effectually dis
poses Of this long standing SANDER.
CHICAGO, SEPT. 4th, 1872.
Col. Isaac S. STEWART:
DEAR SiR,-Your note Of the I'd instant is
just received, and in reply l have to state
that you are authorized on my behalf to deny
in the most emphatic manner, all statements
of General Grants having been drunk, or in
any degree under the influence Of liquor, at
the battle of Shiloh. l was at this time
his chief of staff and chief of artillery.
| breakfasted with the General at Savannah on
Sunday, the first day of the battle, went on
board the boat with him and rode into the
field with him at about half past o'clock,
in person, and was necessarily with him, ex-
cept at intervals of absence on duty, during
the whole day. lay down with him long
after dark at night on small parcel Of hay
which the Quartermaster put down to keep
Us out of the mud in the rear of artillery line
no the left, and never heard till long after
wards of any idea entertained by any body
that he was drunk. Nor did see him drink
during the day, and am surse he was per-
fectly sober, as he was self possessed and
collected during the varying fortunes Of that
celebrated battle. II there are any words in
which l can deny the miserable charge more
fully and distinctly, am ready to adopt them.
Very truly yours,
j. d. WEBSTER,
Late Breyet Major General Volunteers
Chief of Staff to General w. T. Sherman.

VIII Greeley Retire?

The Maine election returns wear such
a discouraging look to the Greeleyites
that they think he had better retire from
the field at once. Few care to stick to a
cause and candidate predestined to GER
tain defeat. where there is no principle
demanding support Mr.. Greeley's defeat
in Maine will be followed up by his de-
feat in all the October elections, and so on
until he gets his quietus in November, if
he continues candidate. According to
all the Tribune calculations, past and
present, there is no chance for Greeley to
recover from the stroke of Monday. The
voice of Maine is potential with such q
majority as Perham has. 1t indicates the
popular sentiment on the questions in
yolved in the campaign with unerring GER
tainty.
Liberal Republicanism had its trial on
Monday. 1t was an element Of new and
unmeasured strength. Report gave it
considerable power. 1t troubled organ
izers somewhat to make up their figures
under the uncertainties it produced in
both parties. If Greeleyism took from
the republicans it also sent democrats into
the republican ranks. The democrats ex-
pectcd to hold their party up as unit for
Kimball, but they failed very decidedly to
do 1t, and they will lose still more when
the vote comes squarely between Grant
and Greeley. Our election has fairly es-
tablished the fact that the democrats are
weaker with the liberal republican alli-
ance than they would be with a straight
ticket That fact settled, its influence
win be immense in Pennsylvania and 9TH
err States that vote in October. We have
exposed for them the perfect shallowDess
of the liberal republican movement. They
have our experience to guide them in
their calculations. They begin where
we leave off. Parties will take shape at
once under the new impetus. 1t required
weeks of labor in Maine to resolve the
new problem which no other State win
require.
Nowswe shall see whether MIR. Greeley
will think it worth while to continue the
farce in which he is engaged. Thousands
OF democrats would be highly pleased to
learn that he would decline to stand longer.
We hope he will not decline, for we desire
the satisfaction of seeing this game played
to the end, SO that Greeley may learn what
a tool he Is and those who put him for
ward may receive their chastisement in
full. We do hope Mr.. Greeley will not
retire.
