who possess the gift of political prophecy,
and who are deficient in it. The man

Morton electoral ticket. The word is
often incorrectly used. What we want
the people to guess at is CLEVELAND and
THURMAN's plurality in Indiana-not their
majority. The latter term, as applied to
elections, properly means the excess OF

given the Harrison ticket.
We have been thus particular about ex-
planning this matter, to avoid the posi-
bility OF confusion or misunderstanding.
