ton estimates give to Grant 2S States and
70 Greeley 5, or PCS electoral votes for
Grant to 80 for Greeley. The popular ma
jority for Grant is placed at 1000. The
Herald editorially says that, whether the
result will be accounted for by the popular
strength of Gen. Grant Oh the one hand,

ness of the Liberal Republicans, combin-
cd with the Democratic bolt on the other
hand, II is in many respects the most re-
markable in the history of the country.

jority at 300, 900. 1t says that the defeat is
due TO the Democracy surrenderinC to
