A careful examination of the cleo
toral vote Of the various States, and
the political conditions existing in
each, causes n to wonder whether the
Democratic managers have any real
hope Of electing Mr.. Cleveland; and IL
they do entertain such q hope, upon
what they can possibly base it. The
electoral college, in 1883, had 4Ol votes,
OF which the Republicans received 1913.
and the Democrats 1853. This year. I'M
der the new apl ortionment, the cleo
toral college will contain 444 votes, and
it will require 22s to elect. Where can
the Democrats obtain that many?
OF the 43 new electoral votes, 90 are
from the six new States, and the re-
naming % are distributed among the
old States, according to the increase of
population. But the greater part of
the new electoral vote will be Rcpub-
lican. The most probable division be-
tween the two parties is the following:

Intere,tlnr to Pen,ionere

A Washington correspondent has been
shown the original OF q letter now in the
archives of the Pension Bureau, written
by the United States pension agent at
Cleveland, Ohio, in 1851. which reads as
follows:
UNITED STATES PENSION AGENCY,
CLEVELAND. o., Oct. II. 1857.

for the reason that none Is to be got. The
best l could do Was 10 END you Michigan
money. which l hope will go to Michigan.
Respectfully.
Z. H%GssENMuLLER. Pension Agent
Tho foregoing is commended to the
pensioners of Indiana and elsewhere.
Here was a pensioner of the United
States who was compelled to take tho
notes of Michigan banks for his pension
and who was denied u draft on New
York because none could be got. This
letter vas written about seven months
after the Inauguration of President
Buchanan, when the country was enjoy
ing IL thrift for revenue only and in u
month when no less than 1900 banks
failed. According to "Thompson's
Bank-note Reporter" fifty banks were
failing each day, and the bank notes Of
Michigan, outside of that State, were
quoted at discounts ranging from Is to
~ per cen. If the pensioncr had been
compelled to get u draft on New York
he would have been forced to pay 10 per
cent. premium, and his quarterly pen.

GLoBE-DEMOCRAT: The lesson of the
Georgia election is so plain that tho
average voter can easily comprehend
it. There was supposed to be a for
midable anti-Democratic vote in the
State, but the returns show that it
did not materialize. The Peoples
party has been beaten by a majority
that fully rcfutes the idea of a new
departure in Georgia politics; and
the explanation of this result is obvi.
GUS at a glance. There is reason
to believe that a large proportion of
the white citizens are dissatisfied
with the present condition of things
but they are evidently unwilling to
seek a remedy by repudiating the
Democratic party. They affiliate
with the Farmers Alliance to the ex-
tent of talking loudly about the ne
cessity of legislation for the benefit
of agriculture, but when election day
comes they march to the polls and.
vote as they have always voted.
Their promises to the Peoples party
do not count. In short, they are
Democrats first and Alliance men af.
terward. They will not desert the
party with which they have been
heretofore identified or contribute in
any way to its discontinue. If
the members ofsthe Peoples party in
the North who were formerly Re-
publicans have a proper sense of self
respect they will resent this decep.
tion by refusing to aid in the election
of a Democratic President. If tho
Southern men who profess to be in
sympathy with the principles and
purposes of the new party make it a
point to go on voting in the old way,
then certainly the Northern men who
are supporting Weaver may justitlably
abandon him and resume their former

manifestly sensible and patriotic
course for them to pursue. Either
Harrison or Cleveland will be elected;
and surely no man who has ever been
a Republican can honestly and con.
sistently prefer the latter to the
former. 1t is not reasonable to sup.
pose that men who left the Republi.
can party in the interest of the re-.
forms projected by the Alliance had
any intention Of joining the Demo:
cratic party; and yet the conditions
place them in the attitude of practi:
cally taking that step. A vote for

for Cleveland, as the case now stands

Now. how can the Democrats get 4s

Now, how can the Democrats get 48
votes out of the above? Even should
they carry New York, it's sc votes would
not be enough. 1t would require Indi-
ans in addition; or M%ichigan's 6 Demo-
cratic votes, plus North Dakota and
Montana. New York and Michigan's &
votes would leave Cleveland 4 votes
short of an election.
On the other hand, should the Rcpub-
licans carry New York and Indiana,
they would elect, with 2G votes to spare.
With New York alone, they would elect
with II votes to spare. Should they
carry New York and Indiana, they could
lose either Illinois or Wisconsin, and
still elect. They can elect by carrying
Indiana and Montana, with Michigan's
8 votes, even if tho Democrats carry
New York. To sum up, the Republicans
have at least an equal chance with the
Democrats of carrying both Indiana
and New York. They can elect without
New York. and the Democrats cannot.
But how about the Peoples party?
Its leaders are making great claims, but
We cannot see that they are we'll founded.
The one Republican State they claim
most persistently is Kansas, because of
their fusion with the Democrats there.
But If the Republicans carry no doubt
full State but New York. they a lose
Kansas and still elect Harrison by ono
vote. But there is just as great q possi-
bility Of the Peoples party carrying
Alabama as there is Of their carrying
Kansas; and this would deduct II votes
from the Cleveland column In short,
It is difficult to study the electoral vote
and come to any conclusion other than
that Cleveland is doomed to defeat
