different local officers. In view of the
result of the last election in Ohio, much
interest attaches to these approaching
contests, from their bearing on the Presi-
dental contest next year:
For comparison with the coming re-
turns, we have taken the very last cleo.
tions in each State as the fairest express
sion of the present popular opinion. In
every instance this method is favorable
to the Republicans, as WILDE seen by the
following figures:
Connecticut voted for Governor in
l8S2-Democratic majority over Repub-
lican, 4,l6l. Democratic majority over
Republican and temperance combined,
1927.
Maryland: Congressional election,
lSS2-Democratic majorities over Repub.
lican, 6,2lO.
Massachusetts: Governor in 1882
Democratic majority over Republican,
IL, 949. Democratic majority over Re-
publican and Prohibitionist combined,
lisp.
Minnesota: Congress in lSS2-Re-
publican majorities over Democratic,
1929.
Mississippi: Congress in lSS2-Demo-
cratic majority over Republican and Fort
Pillow Chalmers, 10, GOA.
Nebraska: Governor in lS82-Repub.
lican over Democrat, 27,070. Republi.
can over Democrat and Anti-M onopolist,
%, l72.
New Jersey: Congress in lSS2--Dem-
ocratic over Republican, 1908.
New York: Governor in lS82-Demo.
cratic over Republican, 1872, 854. Demo-
crat over Republican and Prohibitionist,
1877, 1910.
Pennsylvania: Governor in 1882
Democrat over Republican, 40, 2O2. Re-
publican, Independent Republican.
Greenbacker and Prohibitionist over
Democrat. 80, 1873.
Virginia: Congressman-at-large in
lS82-Coalitionist over Democrat, 5,SCS.
Coalitionist over Democrat and Colored
Republican, l,466.
OF these ten States, the Democrats
will probably carry Connecticut, Mary.
land, Massachusetts,, Mississippi, New
Jersey, New York and Minnesota.
The Republicans will carry Nebraska.
Pennsylvania and Virginia are placed
in the doubtful column, with the chances
in favor of the Democrats in both Of
them.
The seven States classified as proba-
bly, Democratic give SO electoral votes.
Add to them Alabama, 10; Arkansas, 7;
California, s; Delaware, 3; Florida, 4;
Georgia, IL; Kentucky, l3; Louisiana,
s; Missouri, l6; Nevada, 3; North Caro-
lima, 8; Tennessee, II; Texas 3D. and
West Virginia, 6, and there would be
an aggregate of pa, or % more than
are required to elect a President next
year. The IA electors Of Massachusetts,
could be omitted, and there would still
be a surplus Of nine to spare beyond
the POI votes needed under the last ap.
portionment.
Ohio with % votes; Indiana with Is
votes, which gave 1000 Democratic
majority over the Republicans last year;
Wisconsin with ii votes, which sent six
Democrats in a delegation of nine to
Congress in 1882, and Michigan with l3
votes, which elected a Democratic Gov.
ernor and a majority of the Congress.
sional delegation in lSS2-these States
are all omitted from the reckoning, al.
though they might fairly be added to
the Democratic column, and will proba'
bly, swell the Democratic majority
in 1884.
These figures are most encouraging te
the Democrats, but they must still beal
in mind that, to win the Presidency
next year, discretion, harmony, union,
and energy are indispensable elements
They have a powerful enemy to combat
possessing the whole machinery and
patronage of the Government, and reck,
less as to the use of both. Vigilance
and courage must not be relaxed, ever
though the road to victory seems broad
and clear.
