Conceding to him the four States
classified as doubtful, he would still be
short thirteen votes. Where are they
to come from is question which the
Republican managers have not been
able to answer to their own satisfac-
tion. - ~ ILL.,. II atf
The most interesting points at this
time are Indiana and Ohio. No doubt
is entertained by the Congression
Democratic Committee as to decid.
ed majority in Indiana for Williams.
The estimates generally agree upon
Is, 900, 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 elem ments to elect. Previous
distractions on the currency has
wrought bad feeling and divisions.
Now they are united heartily, and the
Republicans are giving ground in the
manufacturing counties. The Ger
mans are substantially united for Til.
den IN the cities and towns where
they are mostly found in large num-
bers. They have cast off Schurz as O
leader-at least for this occasion. The
reports are encouraging, and the re-
suit will be close but the State is put
down as doubtful.
| Wisconsin is included in the doubt
full list, though the accessions to Til
den are numerous. and the Germans
are Jealous in his support. The ac-
counts from there claim the State fol
the Democrats decisively.
No fear is entertaiped of the votes
of Florida, North Carolina, OF Mil.
sissippi, which the Republicans have
treated as uncertain. North Carolin,
will give Tilden not less than ter
thousand majority, and it may reacl
double that number. Peace prevails
in Florida and Mississippi, and that il

victory ia the both States.
But for the corrupt Returning BoarC
in Louisiana, no doubt of any kline
would be admitted in regard to tina
State. If frauds can control the vote
and the vote is essential, they will b.
perpetrated. But the belief is genera
that the Democratic majority will b
