part" he said Gin the campaign, espsci.
ally during last week, Il was quite evi.
deAt before the close of the canvass tha
the Democratic party would succeed, a,
TIC currents were running strong 10
that direction. think however, three
or four weeks before the election the
chanses were strongly in favor of the
BE publicans. Ifthey could have stood
by the Scott Law, and given the temper
ancs people the go-by they could
have succeeded. The trouble was they
had toe many irons in the ere, and
sOme were burnt. Ny observations in
Ohio led me to the conclusion that The
two parties are absnt equally divided
and slight advantage to either will
turn the scale. As to what will be th.
result may safely say that Ohio i
placed among the doubtful, with th
chances in favor of tho Democrati
party.
