For Tilden.
FOR Hduea
Doubtful

Necessary to elect. -...-........--.ls
According to these figures Tilden would have
| twelve votes to spare, and Hayes would require
dfty-six to elect. Conceding TO him the four
States classified as doubtful, he would still be
snort snort o thirteen votes. where are they to come
ayers have not been able to answer to their
own satisfaction.
The most interesting points at this time are
Indiana and Ohio. No doubt is entertained by
| the Congressional Democratic Committee as to
decided majority in Indiana for williams.
The estimates generally agree upon 1900,
way. at the outset of the canvass the Demo.
Gratis did not count upon Ohio at all as one of
the necessary elements to elect. Previous dis.
fractions on the currency had wrought bad
feeling and divisions. Now they are united
heartily, and the Republicans are giving ground
in the manufacturing towns. The Germans are
substantially united for Tilden in the cities and
towns where they are mostly found in large
numbers They have cast off Schurz as leader
at least for this occasion. The reports are
encouraging, and the result will be close bat
the State is put down as doubtful.
Wisconsin is included in the doubtful list,
though the accessions to Tilden are numerous,
and the Germans are zeslous in his support.
The accounts from there claim the State for the
Democrats decsively.
No fear is entertained of the votes of Florida,
North Carolina, or Mississippi, which the Re-
Carolina will give Tilden not less than ten !
Thousand majority, and it may reach double |
that number. Peace prevails in Florida and |
Mississippi, and that is the best assurance of |
Democratic victory IN both States.
But for the corrupt Returning Board in
no doubt OF any kind would be ad-
mitted in regard to that State. If frauds can
control the vote, and the vote is essential, they
will be perpetrated. Bot tho belief is general
that the Democratic majority will be 30 over
that the managers will not venture
upon this experiment. Colorado 10 claimed by
both parties, but aa it 10 about to emerge from
D Territorial condition, the Federal patronage
becomes an important factor in determining
the result, and will be used without scruple, in
view especially of two new Senators.
No serious attention is given by the Demo-
cratic Committee to the newspaper reports
about West Virginia. which Originate with the
That State 10 booked for eight or
Ten thousand for Tilden.
While no claim has been made for South
Carolina, it is known that the cOlOred detection
% large enough to justify great expectations I
Ind che recent local elections prove that in I
Jpite of threats and violence by the Republican
oaders, many blacks are separating from the c
old, joining Tilden clubs, and voting the {
Democratic ticket. This is the view Of She | @
ituation taken here by tho most prudent menu (
,ers Of the Congressional Democratic Com Z
1ittee, though some of them make much larger
and include States that are usually 6
Onceded 70 Hayes. n
If the October elections favor Tilden to the 4
xtent anticipated, q stampede may be looked | D
or among the Republicans, which cannot be Q
Ereseed by any aTtaul management. A decided &
Democratic victory in Indianas though auocess @
nay enaiIy be achieved without it, would be C
