According 10 these figures Tiden would have
twelve votes to spare and Hayes would require
nft,-sx to elect. Conceding 90 him the four
st ties classified as doubtful, he would still be
short thirteen votes Where are they to come
from Is n question which the Republican man
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 though
there may be margin Of 5000 either way. At
the outset Of the canvass the Democrats did not
count upon Ohio at all as one OF the necessary
elements TO elect. Previous distractions Oh the
currency had wrought bad feeling and divisions.
Now they are united he thy, and the Repubu-
cans are giving ground Ia the manufacturing
counties. The Germans are substantially united
for Tilden In the cities and towns where they

caslon. The reports are encouraging, and the
result Will he close; but the State is put down
as doubtful.
Wisconsin is included In the doubtful list.
though the accessions TO Tilden are numerous,
and the Germans IRE Jealous In his support.
The accounts from there claim the State for the
Democrats decisivelv.
No fear Is entertained Of .he votes Of Florida,
North Carolina, or Mississippi. whioh the Repub-
licans have treated AZ uncertain. North Carolina
Will give Iilden not less than ten thousand
majority. and It may reach double that number.

But for the corrupt Returning Board In Louisi-
ana, no doubt of any kind would be admitted in
regard to that state. II frauds can control the
vote, and the vote is essential, they will per-

Democratic majority will be so overwhelming
that the managers will not venture upon this
experiment. Colorado Is claimed by both

No serious attention is given by the Demo-
cratic Committee to the newspaper reports
about West Virginia, which originate with the
Republicans. That State is booked for eight or
