THAT ARGUMENT.

Says the Elko Independent: THE Re-
publican papers and speakers have been
tfging in this campaign that there is a
strong probability chat the vote Of the Re-
publican Congressman from Nevada may
be very essential to the election Of q Re
publican President in 1880, il the election
Of President should be thrown into the
House. Now, in the first place, the very
little strength which the Nationals have
developed in the October elections shows
thAt there Is scarcely . possibility Of the
election going to the House at all and in
the second place, if it should go there, it
sah be shown that there il scarcely q posi-
binty Of the election Of anybody but a
Democrat. II Congress should have
70 elect the President, then, of
course, the vote would be by States, and
Ne majority Of the delegation from each
f1Att would east the vote Of the State.
Now there is scarcely a doubt but that
the following States will have a majority
Of their Congressman Democratic Ala

Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Ken
lucky. Maryland, Mississippi, Missouri,
New York, North Carolina. New Jersey,
Oregon, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West
Virginia. Louisiana, Ohio and South Caro-
lne, which. makes twenty-three States out
Of thirty-eight. giving the Democrats a
majority Of eight, with full as much prob
ability that it will be greater as that it will
p. less. So the chances are about . thous-
