from the remaining doubtful states.
California, Connecticut and Nevada
would furnish the requisite number; so
would New Jersey and Connecticut, or
California and New Jersey. If the
democrats carry New York, they will
still want twelve votes to win. Indiana
alone has enough, or New Jersey and
Nevada, or several other combinations
of doubtful states, if the democracy can
win them. How will New York vote?
The wish may be the father to sanguine
prophecies, but from the uncertain ele-
ments in the canvass there no man can
deduce an opinion having any substan-
tial basis. The Independent vote, vari-
ously stated at from $4,000 to $4,000,
the prohibition vote sustained and en-
couraged by the religious press and
many influential clergymen, and the
disaffected republicans who may either
not vote at all or vote against their
party,-these quantities, known and
unknown, all count against the repub-
licans. Tammany, disalfected demo-
Gratis who are claimed for the repub-
lican candidate, and the Butler diver
sion, all count against the democracy
and in favor of republican success.
Will these uncertain elements coun-
ter-balance each other and leave the
state substantially where it was four
years ago? No one should build
false hopes on perverted understand
ing of the situation. New York is en-
phatically doubtful state. Partisans
on either side make eXtravagant claims
for the public ear, but the best in
formed, those in position to know and
Judge, when asked for their candid
opinions, refer the inquirer to the
actual canvass of the votes for solu-
ton of the problem of New York's
position on election day. 1t promises
to be day of surprises for all parties.
On a smaller scale, similar elements of
uncertainty enter into the canvass in
Connecticut. Indiana is stoutly claimed
by both republicans and democrats.
Each party is enabled to show from its
canvass plurality of from 5000 to
1900 in its favor. There are 10000
unattached voters, neither greeHback-
ers nor prohibitionists and they will
decide the election in the Hoosier state.
The prospects of republican success are
not as clear as in the last week of the
canvass four years ago. 1t is undeni-
able that there is a strong, bitter and
aggressive republican disaffection. If
the strength of this disaffection is esti-
mated with even approximate correct
ness, there is reason for apprehension
that republicans may themselves bring
defeat upon the party. But the power
lessness of the malcontents may be one
of the surprises of election day. They
m y be wholly neutralized by counter
democratic disaffection. The bonds of
party fealty are relaxed on each side
the political dividing line. A few days
will end the suspense. Amidst all the
uncertainty one thing is made as clear
as the sunlight-that republican success
would to-day be unclouded by doubt
but for the danger which has come of
republican revolt. There is not strength
enough or sufficient skill or acuteness
of management in the democratic or
ganization to defeat united republican
party under its best leadership.
The Vermont watchman. [volume] (Montpelier, Vt.) 1883-1911, 1884-10-29

Nevada, having three electoral votes,
has been reckoned republican state,
Notwithstanding the fact that in 1880
she gave democratic majority of $40
on total vote of 1888, and at the
election for governor in 1882, demo-
cratic majority of |, 235 on a total vote
of l4,305. That state might as properly
be classified doubtful as California,
leaving the certain republican electoral
vote at III. Now if New York is re-
publican next Tuesday, Blaine and Lo-
gan will be elected if the party holds all
its conceded strength elsewhere. If
the republicans lose New York, to win
they must have Indiana's fifteen votes

THE republican plurality for secretary
of state in Ohio is officially stated at
II 1924 The total vote was 7S5,31l, of
which 39l 500 was republican, $50 ,275
democratic and 13,437 scattering. The
total vote was 81, 143 greater than ever
before. The republicans had gain of
16,551 votes and the democrats 20,5S2.

From these states, the twenty-seven
votes which the republicans still need,
or the forty-eight the democrats require,
to have majority in the electoral col
lege, must come. In 1880 these states
gave pluralities for president and they
have since voted in state elections as
follows:
