i Congressman Geo. West, of New
York, says: "The favorable senti.
ment for the Republican party is
coming like an avalanche. AS u
single example, Ii know that in the
town of Amsterdam, which is o Wig
orous manufacturing center, where
the Democrats have had from 700 to
800 majority, we shall not only cut
off their majority entirely, but make
it 200 to 800 on the other side. The
town of Amsterdam is a fair indiCa-
tion of what is going on through the
state" rsi' iti'tst
Ohio, Illinois, Michigan and Wis.
consin are among the states classed
by our esteemed contemporary, the
Courier, as being "doubtfnl " this
year. Ohio will give Harrison $4,000
majority; Illinois will give Harrison
10000 majorityj Michigan will give
Harrison 10000 majority; Wisconsin
will give Harrison $4,000 majority.
Why are not Pennsylvania and Yer.
mont included in the doubtful"
list q They are no more certain to
gu for Harrison and protection than
the states named. And Vermont
will give $4,000 majority and Penn.
