Per contra of Gen. Grosvernor's pre-
diction, the Atlanta Constitution has been
trying it's hand at making some figures
that look encouraging for the Democrats.
We quote from our Georgia contempor-
airy:
1.-THE Constitution will not say here
and now that the Democrats will win
the presidency next year. That will de-
pend very largely upon the platform first
and the men who represent it on the
ticket. But we do say that present fig
ures, combined with the local conditions
in the states point to the probability
that the Democracy, given wise plat
form and a straight goods candidate,
can surely carry the following states and
their electoral votes, viz:
Alabama, II; Arkansas, 9; Colorado,
5; Florida, 5; Georgia, 10; Idaho, g.;
Kentucky, 10; Louisiana, 8; Maryland,
8; Mississippi, 10; Missouri, Is; Montana,
3; Nevada, s; New York, SO; North Caro-
lima, II; Rhode Island, a; South Caro-
lima, 9; Tennessee, II: Texas, IS; Utah, g.;
Virginia. 12;-total, 217.
''Our figures of PIT for the Democrats
as reasonably sure leaves % votes to be
gained from California (1O), Connecticut
| cd New Jersey Q2,) and Oregon o.
total, 33 votes.
| 'This leaves out of consideration en-
tirely Indiana, West Virginia and Hi
nois.''
Any reader who feels so disposed may
take his pencil and figure out predictions
in accordance with his partisan bias, just
as Gen. Grosvenor and the Constitution
has done. If there is continued division
In the Democratic party, Gen. Grosvenor S
predictions will doubtless come true. If
the party forgetting those things that
are behind" presents a united front upon
platform, dealing wisely with live is
sues, and supports candidates whose DEM
ocracy and wisdom are approved-if it
does these things then there is room to
believe the Constitutions predictions will
come true.

opinion that the trustees of Trinity col

the Bassett case this week. Prof. Bias
sett has done incaIculable harm to Trinity
and the usefulness of this grand institu-

of Prof Bassett's intentions but the &C
