The Electoral TOte.

The Commercial is endeavoring to keep
up its courage by talking about the elec-
toral vote, which it Gays the fourteen
weak States that were not carried by the
Democratic party at the late elections
are entitled to. This is all "fudgej" it
is the old woman over again counting
her chickens before they are hatched."
So far the Republican party is not enti-
tied to q. single vote in the electoral COL
legc; ard it is only entitled to sixty
eight votes in the House should the
choice of President go to that body.
Defore an electoral vote is cast it has
yet to be won and authorized by the
people. The Commercial claims faurteen
States; in these fourteen Stats its par
ty las e,cc.cd ffty-six menao ocrs Of Con
gress OILY, and the Democrats have
elected seventeen, but that paper claims
that TIE States have been carried by its
party, and as they alo entitled 10 sixty
eicLt votes and votes eGo-. Senators, It
therefore claims that the fourteen States
would choose ninety-four Republican
electors. This is the boldest piece OF
i,nprl rlerce we have yet seen advanced.
In Ma5su chxsetts the people all voted
for Governor as thcy wouli an have vot-
cd fer an electoral ticket, and sAo Demo
Gratis wcl by over seven thousand ma
jor;ty. The same vote would have car
ried al the electors.
Butler is called the faires: type OF the
Radical Representative, aad yet Butter
was the worst beaten ,aur il NassacEus-
etts. As he is the craftiest and most
useful man to his corrupt and deserted
party, so is he the most proper RePresen-
tative nan. IL his defeat the Republi-
can party has its scvcrest blow.
Two of the fourteen States the Com
mere II claims IN its column were carried
by tie Massachusetts und
Nevada. Il must, therefore, surrender
them, and its number is thereby reduced
to twelve, and the Democratic States in
creased to twenty six. This gives the
Republicans II electoral votes and the
Democrats 299 But even this view OF
the case is not warranted when scanned
by the light of the late elections. Be-
cause that elections rendered doubtful
every STATE which is claimed by the Com
mcrclal, and there IS now more probabili-
ty Of the candidate of the Radical party
being overwhelmingly defeated in 1876
than there was OF the defeat Of General
Scott and the Wing party in 1852. The
Wing party then carried four States,
and If the Democrats do what they
should in the 4lth Congress. namely. e1-
pose all the rascalities and frauds of the
Grant Administration and the 42d and
43I Congresses, we do not believe that
tAe Radical party will carry more than
four States in 1876. The military renown
of General Scott could not blind the peo.
pie Of this country; nor will that of any
other maA be able to do 80 in 1876

Dis,roportion OF the Sem natc.

The New York World publishes u
table from which it says it will be seen
that while the Senate at present stands
10 Democrats to 55 Republicans and
Independents, it would in a prompter
accordance with the will of the people
as last expressed stand SO Democrats
to % Republicans. And if the people
of the whole United States were as
fully represented as the 217, ,353 inhab-
itants Of Rhode Island are represented
the Senate would stand 200 Democrats
to only 90 Republicans. And still the
United States Senate, which meets in
less than month from to-day, will
have an overwhelming Republican
majority.
At the time of the making of the
Constitution no such enormous dispro-
portions in the sizes and populations
Of States existed as now exist. At
that time the smallest State (Dela-
ware) had population Of $1,000, and
the largest, (Virginia) had but little
over G0O, ,00U. The State of New York
then had q population of about $40, 900.
But now, when the State of New York
has come to have a population of near
ly 5000, 900, we have State (Nevada)
which is smaller in proportion than
the smallest in 1887 The dispropor-
ton then was about to IL, whereas il
is now as / to 100.

THE REPUBLICAN PARTY DOOMED.
The Editor of the Republican fairly
,, groans in agony over the inefficiency
Of the Radical party. Hear his awful
prediction, should Congress not issue
more greenbacks
A Word of Warning!
The result of the elections in the
different States should exert an indu-
cnce on the legislation Of Congress at
Its coming session. II something is
not done to improve the business OF
the country, the Democrats will elect
the next President as sure as the sun
shall rise and set ON the first Tuesday
in November, 1876. Men cannot live
without employment, and when times
are dull they hold that any change
will be for the better. 1t is idle to tell
them that sound financial policy re-
quires return to specie payment, or
that the initiation of the currency will
only put off the evil day for time !;
that revulsion, failure and prostration
of trade will eventually follow all such
expedients. They must have bread
to-day for themselves and families,
and they are for any measure that
will insure immediate employment,
without regard to the influence likely
to be exerted on the trade OF next
year or that of the year thereafter.
They are measurable right, us it is an
old axiom that Sufficient to the day
is the evil thereof"
Congress should do something to
put the wheels of industry in motion.
it is worse than idle to refuse to act.
II they hesitate the party is doomed.
We are not sufficiently conversant
with legislation to say exactly what
should be done, but we do know that
en- terprise is languishing and the
wheels of industry move very slug
gishly. The great want of the times
seems to be more money. Good mort
cages sell at discount of ten or
twelve per cent. and loans on real es-
tate cannot be procured without the
payment of bonus of Ike amount.
This should not be the case. If the
government could pay OF its bonds to
the amount OF 500, O,O00, 900, or more,
by the issue of greenbacks, the inilu-
cnce would be felt from one end OF the
country TO the other, and the cry OF
hard times would soon cease. Wcmust
have greenbacks as additional proteo
ton to certain industries, the endorse
ment of the bonds of the Northern
Pacific Railroad, or the development
of a grand system of internal improve
ment, or the party must pass oct OF
place and power.

surprising. 1t is not surprising that ambi-

themselves may sometimes resist the nomi-

it is surprising, and much to be regretted
when any large body Of voters desert their
