from those states where 1t is alleged that fraud
has been committed and a wholesale imitation
OF population made. All the returns are, how
ever, Subjected to the closest scrutiny. While

gives entire assurance Of the success of the
democratic ticket In November. He says that
In Maine the union is perfect between the

state, under the management OF Mr.. Eaglish,
was never so complete as now, and no doubt
Wbateveris felt In the ability of the parry TO
carry it by handsome majority. Mr.. Merrlck
says that the democrats have good reason to
believe that they Will carry Ohio, even al
though they do not make any positive claim to
that effect. That Hancock viii be elected he
has no shadow of doubt.
