rick reasons for not previously making

What the World Thinks.
The World, commenting on the result
OF the North Carolina election, thinks
that the inference from the earliest re
turns seemed perfectly legitimate. As
the election now stands there is reason
for solid confidence, but none for frothy
exultatlon. Greeley's chances, in the
light of the North Corolina election,
are more promising than Grants.
