GRANT AND The FIGURES.

The Radicals Of the Federal city Of swindles
burned quantity Of stolen powder on Inc
Thursday evening after the State elections
and then five hundred or more department
clerks and other loafers went to the White
House, where Grant sometimes stops, to sere'
made him. To get rid Of the gang the Presi'
dent was obliged to come forward, after
somewhat hasty toilet. and make the expected
bow. To the establishment Of the drunken
.bble he said something, and the reporters
put it in English as follows:
Genaeuaen-I am very glad to meet you on this
occasion, and to congratulate you on 80 good
cause for rejoicing to the entire country az over
lican majorities we're not great, they Wereg SUI
| ficient 10 accomplish the purpose. The rag
baby" has been entirely suppressed, and me
people now know what kind OF money they are 70
| have 10 the future, and think we have an assur-
ance that the Republicans will control this gov
eminent for at least four years longer
The rabble then eheered for the great
apostle of the Third T erm, they cheered for
the hard money which Radicalsm took away
and has not the power to return, and TOR the
free schools which Radical msrule and ex-
trayagance have almost destroyed.
The Presidential prediction as to the next
four years is somethi ng little startling, or it
would be if Gran. was ever known to be cor
rect in anything. Let us look little into
the calculation.
If the Radicals have q decent man for their
candidate land we do not deny that there are
such within the ranks Of the Republican
party) he will probably get 10 electoral votes
from Wisconsin, from Vermont, from
Rhode Island, from Oregon, from Nevada,
8 from Nebraska, from Minnesota, II from
Michigan, 10 from Massachusetts,, from
Maine, from Kansas, IL from Iowa, p from
Illinois South Carolina may give
him more. Pennsylvania is not fully
R sdical, but her 20 votes may be, for
the sake Of calculation, set down as Radical,
as well as the % votes Of Ohio Concedes
a. SO the votes Of New Jersey with the % Of
Ohio neither of which are more than proba-
BILE, and still the total will be only III cleo
toral votes. What other States have the Rad
icaIs chance Of winning? Let us recal itu
late them with their respective votes.
New York, beyond the slightest shadow Of
q doubt, will contribute her thirty-fve votes
for the success Of the Democratic nominee.
Missouri will not fail to record her fifteen
votes against the new or old Cesar. Texas
will contribute her eight votes to the same
glorious purpose. Tennessee will join the
ranks Of redemption and reform with twelve
more votes. Kentucky will give her twelve
votes to elect Democratic President, if for
no other reason, in honor Of the memory Of
Breckinridge. Alabama, redeemed from
carpet-bag thraldom, stands ready with ten
votes more. Virginias eleven votes are Sc
curely Democratic. and the eight votes Of
Maryland are equally certain. Georgia will
most assuredly record her eleven votes against
X adical scoundrelism.
No peripatetic vaga5onds or drunken pro-
carnations can steal the votes Of Arkansas
away from the glorious Democratic vote
erty, must give her ten votes to the anti-Rad-
ical candidate. Connecticut is solidly and
Democratic with her votes, and to
these Delaware will add 8, Florida 4, West |
Virginia 5, and Mississippi 8. That Indiana
will add her Is Democratic votes is we'll
proven by her record. In New Hampshire
the vote will be close. Her five votes can not
be positively claimed for the anti Radical can
didate, although more than probable. Cali
fornia bids fair to contribute her votes to
the Democratic candidate but they are not to
be classed among the certain and assured
Jewels Of the Democratic treasury.
As 10 Louisiana, although positively anti
Radical, we are far from sure that Returning
Boards, lying officials and the base panders
Of office holders will permit her to record her
eight votes in condemnation Of the damnable
dynasty from which she has suffered SO long
and so bitterly. But leaving Louisiana out Of
the reckoning and counting the II votes Of
California and New Hampshire for the Radi-
cal nominee, still there will be no certain
majority for the latter. Grants assurance
that the Republicans will control the gov
eminent four years longer appears in the
light of the above calculation mere bragga-
docio. The arithmetic Of any tanners clerk
would suffi % to prove that the Radical candi-
date has nothing like an even chance before
the people in the coming day Of judgment
upon the party of thieves who have well nigh
ruined the republic.
