ought TO get the largest per centage of the
increase over the vote of last year. Fifteen
or sixteen thousand majority is what the
Ring has persistently boosted that 1t will
be able to poll i'll this city.
The counties out of which the Repuhli-
cans have always got the majOrities that
have enabled them TO control the State
are Allegheny, Bradford, Chester, Della
ware, Erie, Indiana, Lancaster, Lawrence,
Lebanon, Philadelphia, Somerset, Susque-
hama, Tioga, and one or two others, each
of which in the light vote cast last year
gave them from 10000 to $4,000 majority
on the State ticket. Topartially neutralize
tie heavy majorities in the counties named,
the Democrats have always been very
strong in Berks, Clarified, Columbia,
Greene, Lehigh, Luzerne, Monroe,
land. and York. Given a fair esti-
mate Of the major;ties in the twenty
five counties enumerated, and almost
any Philadelphia politician can tell very
nearly what the result in the State will be.
| have visited the majority of the strong
Republican counties, and met intelligent
gentlemen from the others, and have as
surances that almost none Of them will
give Hartranft the full strength of the Re-
publican vote. In some of them il will be
reduced 80 per cent or more; in others %,
cratic cOun les, Oh the other hand, there is
every reason to expect increased MAORI
ties. Almost the only exception L have
heard Of is Schuy kill, and there may be
| no very great loss there; if there should
be, it will be more than made up in Luz
Zarne. What appeared to me like very
fair estimate of the result in the State, out
! side of Philadelphia, was shown me by a
leading Democrat of central county, last
week. 1t made Buckalew's majority 5000,
| and to obtain this the most moderate esti-
mates were made of majorities liz the sew
| eral counties. A majority like that cannot
be nsutraliZed in Philadelphia.
THE INDIANA CANVASS.
indianapolis, Oct. 3.-As to the State
at large the Congress Districts are begin
min to make excellent reports, and there is
strong probability of carrying nine of the
districts where only seven have been hoped
tor. OF these the Ist, Id, Hid, Nth
With, With, and lXth are sure, and the
With and~Xth almost certain. This with
the election of the two Congressman al
| large, Kerr and Williams, will give the
! Liberals 1 members i'll the Indiana Con
gress Delegation. OF the Legislature, OF
which the main fight is concentrated anC
with Il skill and bitterness never before ex
perienced. it is almost impossible to calcu
late on for certainty. The body consists O
100 Representatives aud 60 Senators, half o
whom hold over from term to term. There
is, however, a vacancy this year, which
leaves 20 to be elected. On these 26 Nor
ton stands his last resource. OF the "a a
present holding over, - are Liberals ant
some doubtful. Upon these and the new
members rests MOrtOns further hope O
power. AS things stand, the balance fall
against the Ring.
