when an average republican newspaper makes
an ASSERTION it sticks to it. utterly regardless of

to tue difficulty Of reaching the polls. they

availing to CORE C. these evils. and az tho Two
or three policemen present were poverless
against suoh crowd, the Mayor summoned

Grants failure TO carry tho Georgia del
egation solid is everywhere recognized as
q break in his line which drops him to the
level Of other struggling candidates. He
has 1928 votes from New York and Penn
sylvania, Il every delegate from those
States votes as he was instructed, which is
not usual, Grant has not carried another
Northern State, and excepting Illinois, he
has no chance of carrying any. Without
Illinois he needs every Southern vote to
give him q majority, and he has already
lost II delegates in Georgia and Is sure 70
lose a. many more in other States. The
third-termers are now forced TO carry solid
every Southern State left, which they can
not do, and also to carry Illinois, which
day by day grows more improbable, in
order TO nominate Grant on the first ballot.
Speaking practically, such a nomination
has become impossible unless Grants
friends can reverse the present current in
Illinois. 80
