eral of the States that were formerly
decided one way or the other in the list
of doubtful States, Minnesota and Ne.
braska may positively be placed 70 the
Republican cUl'Nnn. VIII IL Connecti-
cut might probably go Democratic in
an election for State officers. the chances
are favorable for a Republican LegiSla-
tnre. Massachusetts will most assured
ly elect Eepublican Legislature, while
the Governor and other State offices
may BIZ in doubt with the chances in
favor of he ErpuhiicaLs Though the
chances in Maryland look favorable for
the Democrats, there i. ground for
CHASING the State a, doubtful. MS
sissippi viii most a,surrdly go Demo
cratic though there are those who are
sanguine enough 10 predict the election
of an Independent Legislature. Nir-
ginia, notwithstanding the claims OF
the Democratic BourDOns, will most
likely trust her fortunes with the Read
justers awhile longer The outlook in
New Jersey indicates political rcvO-
luton and the election of the kcpuDn-
can State ticket and Republican Leg
islature. Though there is much dissat-
i-taction amongst the Democrats the
stances for the election Of the Demo
cratic ticket are most favorable. In
Pennsylvania there can be little doubt
Of Republican success.
