The Cincinnati Commercial pretends to
believe that John Sherman will be nom
mated at Chicago. The reasons are not
clear how this is to be effected, unless it be
on the principle that to Ohio belongs the
spoils. Sherman does not appear to have
even q dead sure thing on Ohio, however.
Thus far he has only secured delegates
to Chicago out of 1886 already chosen.

submitting to southern rule as good for thou
 sands of votes for the Republican party in Connecticut, more than enough to turn the scales, if the State were in doubt.
 But this is not the only, and perhaps not the chief, reason for considering Connecticut
 surely Republican State this fall. A study Of election returns of the past ten years, or
 twenty years shows that Connecticut is not doubtful Republican State, except under unusual circumstances. Since 1852 Connec- ticut has gone Democratic but once in presidential election, and that in 1876. The nearest approach to it was in 1864, when the general gloom throughout the North, the longing for the war to end, reduced Lincoln's majority to 2, 406. It is a weIl-known, uni versally recognized fact that during season of gloom or depression the party in power is sure to lose votes. A notable illustration of this was seen in the recent elections in Eng land, where the failure of the crops and the stagnation of the great industries of the coun- try produced a complete revolution in the gov ernment. It was precisely this feeling which reduced the vote of the Republican party in 1876, although we have never doubted that even then the Republicans had a majority of the honestly cast vote in this State. In the light vote of 1872, when the election was a mere
 matter of form, the Republicans boiled 5O,- 63S votes next year came the financial pan- ic and the beginning of the hard times, and in 1874 we find the Republican vote dwindled to less than 4O, 900, while the Democratic vote is nearly 47 OOO, or a thousand more than at the Presidential election two years before. The hard times continued, on eve ry hand business men were failing, factories were closed or run on short time, wages were reduced and often no work could be found l The Democratic papers and orators were shouting that the Republican party was re- sponsible for the business depression and that
 there was no help except in change. It was not surprising under such circumstances that many men voted the Democratic ticket and the Democratic presidential vote in-
 creased from 45, ,8SO in 1872 to 61, ,394 in 1876
 It is safe estimate that at least five thousand
 of these votes were those of men who would
 have voted the Republican ticket except for
 the hard times.
 We shall have no such loss this year.
 Thanks to kind providence and to the wise policy of the Republican administration the
 times have changed. There is prospect of
 general prosperity. The men who in 1876 voted for 'change'' will now vote against change, especially against a change for a party whose free trade policy would be hos tile to their own interests and if carried out would close every factory in the State
 There is a majority of Republican voters in this State, and there need be no fear but that there will be a full vote next Novem- Der. This means 8 Republican majority in the State of more than 2,5O0 votes. If Maine and Indiana are carried by the Repub- licans this majority will be increased three or four fold
