Coming events cast their shad-

Presidential canvass is likely to be
influenced more or less BY the fall
State elections, as indicating the
drift of public sentiment informa-

August 7th, which may be scored
in advance for the Democracy, by
a telling majority. The next three
State elections are in Vermont, Cali
fornia, and Maine, the 9th, 9th and
1lth September, successfully, in the
order named, Vermont which comes
first in that month, will 90 Republi-

ing in California is of importance
as significant of the feeling of the
whole Pacific slope. The parties
are pretty equally divided, each
claiming a majority; and both will
struggle earnestly for success. The
Chinese labor question will enter
largely into the State canvass and

The whole number of Presidential
electors to be chosen is 36S (withou
Colorado.) 1t will require 1S-
electoral votes to choose a Presi
dent. There are fourteen State
having 1874 electoral votes that vs.
will concede TO the Republicans
though we have hopes of Nebraska
New Hampshire, Ohio and Pennsyl
vania. In the event of tidal wave
something like the log-cabin revolu
