POLITICAL OUTLOOK.

We shall have no more eiectlOn re
turns until after the people have sig
nified their choice for the Presidency
The States now conceded by the
Democrats to the Republicans cast 15s
electoral votes. The number neces'
sary to choice is 1856. The States
thus conceded are the following: Col
orado, 8; Illinois, q; Iowa, II; Kan
sas, 5; Maine, I; Massachusetts,, 13
Michigan, IL; Nebraska, 8; Minneso
ia, 5; Nevada, 8; New Hampshire, 5
Ohio, %; Pennsylvania, .; Rhod
Island, 4; South Carolina, s; Ver
mont, 5.
The States that are reasonably surt
to 60 Democratic are Alabama, 10; Ar
kansas, 6; Delaware, 3; Florida, 4
Georgia, IL; Kentucky, II; Louisiana
8; Maryland, s; Missouri, l5; Missis
sippi, s; North Carolina, 10; Oregon
8; Tennessee, II; Texas, s; Virginia
IL; West Virginia, 5, making, all told
14S. Florida is not quite certain, moi
North Carolina, but probably the,
will be carried for Tildcn by intimida
ton and fraud.
For doubtful counting those which
are very nearly certain to 60 Republic
can, but which are claimed by Demo.
cracyl are Connecticut, 6; New Jer-
sey, o; New York, 35; California, 6;
Wisconsin, 1O-66 in all. Wiscontin
is one of those States which the Demo-
Gratis always hope to carry next time,
but never do. The Antimonopolists
carried it two or three years ago, but
at the last election the Republicans re-
gained their foothold. The only hope
Of the Badger Democracy is the apathy
or our friends. Thus far the cam
paign has been dull, comparatively,
but there is time enough yet to cam
vass the whole ground. Matt Car

he is yet strong enough to
make the canvass, and proposes to de-
vote his whole time, until election

listed, and there is no fear of Wiscon-
lin. California never goes Democrat

But Indiana and New York are
right with Republican prospects,
