only carried Ohio, his own State, by a ma
jority of 1000, and wouldn't have CARED
the State at all if proper Democratic
effort had been made in Ohio prior to
the October election. Hayes only carried
Illinois by nineteen thousand votes; and
this is the State that has rolled up tremen-
dous maorities for the Republican ticket
in days past. 1t gives US pleasure to say
that whoever is nominated at Chicago the
Democratic party expects to carry New
York and Indiana easily, with an even
chance, or better, for OLio; and IT Grant
is not nominated with an even chance Tor
Illinois. ....
The Gazette says: Let US see If there is
any real ground for the extraordinary
claim put forward by the Grant managers.
Below is table carefully prepared from
returns of the election of delegates, based

The foregoing figures show how the vote
will stand on the first ballot, provided the
Convention admits the solid Grant delega-
ton from Illinois, which is not probable
1t will require 379 votes to nominate. 1t
Justice shall be done in the case OF Illinois,
Grants vote will not reach 300. 1t is not
likely that either the Edmunds or Wash
| burne delegates will 20 over to Grant. The
circumstances are such that they can not
be transferred bodily, and it does not ap-
pear that Grant is their second choice
Viewed from the present standpoint OF OBJ
servation, the final contest at Chicago will be
between Grant and Sherman. Blaine is vr-
tually out of the race.-The foundation OF
the Cincinnati Festivals is the great chorus.
The great work is done by them, and the
success and glory are chiefly theirs. Theirs
is a work that is continuous. great cho-
rus to perform such works can not be i'm
provised nor patched up in hurry by
gathering church choirs and social sing
| ing societies. 1t is the result of regular
training, and each Festival broadens the
foundation for the next. If Theodore
Thomas should be snatched away to swing
his bat n where they say the music is
much finer on the one hand. and more
Wagnerian on the other. than any earthly,
still the foundation elements would remain,
and the festival of 1882 would go forward.
So also we may remark that the College of
Music goes on the same as before, and will
continue to contribute to the entertain
ment of the public, as we'll as to furnish
the same means of higher musical educa-
ton to its pupils. ...
The Commercial says: In fifty-eight
work shops in Cincinnati, careful inves-
tigation has been made, and the result is
the ascertainment of the fact that fifteen
hundred of The Republican workingmen
employed in those shops will not vote for
Grant. Add this list to that If several
hundred strong which we published few
days ago, of citizens who made the declara-
ton that they never would vote for Grant
again, and we have in Cincinnati two
thousand Republicans who will oppose the
third term to the bitter end. We should
) think this an indication of public senti
ment to which it would be worth while tc
t nav some attention.-The census o.
