We have said that General MAHoNE might
possibly make up ticket from the Demo-
cratic and Ecpubiican tickets. But II be
did 81, what aegro wouldyo for ticket
which would give Generass1RANT five votes
in preference 70 ticket which would-gire
him eleven votes? Such a negro wouid
reckon himself traitor, aud would be so
accounted by his fellows. What Democrat
would agreeto give SEYMOUR only one vote |
instead Of Ieieven?--for II five Republican |
electors be chosen, the Democratic candf- |
date will get only one vote in Virginia-as |
the five Republicao electors will offset FIVE |
Democratic electors.
On the whole General 3ilHO.E Is pretty |
nearly to the end Of his rope. Possibly he
will attemp to convene new Republican
Convention, as Mr.. MASSEY, Of King Will
liam. threatened to do-after the Chicago |
and Cincinnati nominations are made.
