THE SPIRIT OF DEMOCRACY.

From the n Y. SUM-
0ohn sherman and the Democrats

In his recent speeches in Ohio, John
Sherman not content with revamping
the old stuff, distinctly charged that the
Democrats, after starting out well in the
Fortv-fourth Congress. had latterly in
creased the appropriations, while he and
his associates were engaged in reducing
expenditures.
There is no possible excuse for this
Justification Of the record. A compari.
son Of the appropriations for the same
objects, taking the last four years of Re-
publican ascendsncy in Congress. with
the four past years when the Demo
Gratis had possession of the House oi
Representatives, will effectually expose
this Misrepresentation. Here are the

Con. Grant and the Figures.


A good many jealous Republi-
cans affect to believe, and perhaps
really think, that with Grant for a
candidate, aud with troops at the
polls, and with plenty of supervise
ors and deputy marshals, they can
surely carry the next Presidential
election.
Have these sanguine stalwarts
taken fair look at the figures?
Let them ponder their lessons, and
gather wisdom from the same.
A majority of the electoral vote
is 1856. The class of Republicans to
whom we refer. and indeed all
kinds of Republicans, admit that
their candidate, whoever he may
be, will not receive single cleo
toral vote in the Southern States,
and that his sole reliance must be
upon the North.
The Northern States which went
for Hayes in 1876 cast 1865 votes.
This number is 10 short of ma.
jority. Four Northern States went
for Tilden-New York with 35
votes, Connecticut with 6, New
Jersey with 8, and Indiana with Is
making an aggregate of IS. Let
us, for the sake of calculation, con-
cede that Grant would carry all the
Northern States that Hayes did.
and then where is he to make up
the deficiency of 10 votes? 1t will
be remembered that the whole
South Is conceded to the Demo-
cratic candidate. And upon the
theory that Grant would carry all
the Hayes States, he must get the
needed 10 votes from the four States
that went for Tilden.
Where can ho find them? Indi-
ana is as sure to 60 for the Demo-
cratic nominee in 1880 as is Ken
lucky. Connecticut may vote for
the Republicans, and there is a
bare possibility that New Jersey
might go in the same direction,
though there is far less probability
that these two States should take
that course than there is that Ore.
gon, California and Nevada should
throw their twelve votes for the
Democratic candidate. But give
to Grant the fifteen votes of Con.
necticut and New Jersey, and he
would still lack four of a majority.
OF course, If Grant could secure
all the Northern States that went
for Hayes, and then add to them
the 80 votes of New York, he would
be elected. This result would give
total of POI votes. But he were
to carry New York and all the
Northern Hayes States except
Ohio, the loss of its % votes would
reduce his total to 179, which would
be six short of majority.
We advise the friends of Grant
and the bayonet to carefully study
these figures.-N. Y. Sun.
