Tennessee, Texas. Virginia and West
Virginia. They will give the Demo-
cratic candidates for President and
Vice-President 1853 votes, which is 48
less than the number necessary to .
choice. The Northern States to which
the Democracy must look for these 4S
votes are the following:

i OF these States three (California, Ne
vada and New Jersey cast their
Electoral vote for Hancock in 1880.
Several of the others, more important
on account of their Electoral strength.
have since been in Democratic line, and
still others have shown rapid Demo
cratic promise. With Natioaal issues in
the balance and, the factional quarrels
engendered by local questions out of the
way, there are strong Democratic
probabilities in majority of the eleven
Northern States tabulated above, and
Democratic possibilities in all of them.
Ohio leads off with a Democratic ma
jority of twelve thousand in full vote
in the year Immediately preceding that
I of the Presidential election. The signs
of Democratic promise in this State
were never before so brilliant 3ss5
The head of the Republican, ticket is
elected in New York, but the Demo Gratis
have the larger share of State Offices,
and the Legislature is Republican
largely through the manner in which
the State is districted. New York went
overwhelmingly Democratic last year
through the widespread apathy in the
Republican party. The Republicans
have not regained their. ground, and
New York is left le-ground for
1884, with the advantages in favor of
the Democracy. .f,aa4i.t
New, Jersey remains Democratically
steadfast, and may be counted on for
1884. We may also look for Nevada
and California again.
The comparatively unimportant cleo
ton in Pennsylvania this year doesinot
obliterate the warlike attitude and. ,tri-
umph of the Democracy in 1882. ia
Indiana is Democratic State, and
the performance in Connecticut this
year does not leave us in despair as to
the land of wooden nutmegs and steady
habits. !. "a F.isfs4
Then there are fighting chances in
Colorado and Oregon, and it is worth
the trouble to keep the Democratic flag
floating in Wisconsin, and even in Mas
sachusetts and two or three other States
which are not mentioned in the posi-
BILE eleven. .-
The vote of New York and New Jer-
sey added to that of the Southern

out New York and Ohio. 2tt4
If New York and Indiana cast their
fifty one votes for the Democratic can
didates they will be elected, without re-
gard to what other Northern States
may do. - - "a
the ..Solid South will be solidly Demo
cratic, and we may certainly count on
that as reasonably as we did in 1876 and
1880. 49,. s.f, f.t.s.
The great battle grounds will be New
York, Ohio and Indiana. These are
the States in which the Democrats have
greatest hopes, and if their campaign is
wisely managed they will be careful to
maintain for contingencies the Demo
cratic hold on such States as New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania, California and Ne
vada, and cultivate the seed which has
been ssown in Connecticut, Massachu-
sets, etc. ., .~t w.
1t will be observed that there is
scarcely any way of stating the situa-
ton to make it look unfav0rable to the
Democracy. There is much in the
arithmetic of the case that invites the Re-
publican party to fold its tents and pre-
pare to meander. ~ Cincinnati Enquirer a

notes are on very poor paper they are
still in good state of preservation.
