 or the fifteen doubtful states Neva- da with its 3 electoral votes is conced- ed to the Peoples party by both of the leading parties, thus leaving only l4 states actually in contention. Of these the Democrats make the loudest claims of Alabama, New Jersey and West Virginia, swelling their total 156.

The Mexican soldiers are not looking forward with any particular joy to the campaign in the mou ,tains, where they are in con stant danger of being ambushed and the history of Tuesdays disaster re- peated. Captain Durantes, the mur- dered officer, was formerly in com mand of the custom house guard at Las Palomas, having been ordered there at the time of the troubles in Ascencion last spring. He also dis
