for Mcclellan. She continued to go
Democratic until 1896. Does any sane
man doubt that her u electoral votes
will be given to Parker and Davis,
which reduces the necessary SO to 76?
New York has not been so steadfast,
but she is normally and logically
Democratic. She voted for Buchanan
in 1856, for Lincoln in 1860 and 1864,
for Grant in 1868 and 1872, for Til
den in 1876, for Garfield in 1880,
for Cleveland in 1884, for Harrison in
1888, for Cleveland in 1892, for Nc
Kinley in 1896 and 1900 Beginning
with 1885, the. election figures show
that she is swinging back to the Demo
cratic column. In 1902 Mr. Odell
squeezed into the governorship by the
very small plurality of about 5000,
whereas in 1896 she gave Mckinley a
plurality of 26S, 469
That she will give her 80 electoral
votes to Parker and Davis is not to be
doubted for one moment.
In 1900 her vote contributed to the
election of Jefferson. She enjoys the
peculiar distinction of always voting
for the winning candidate. for every
body knows that Samuel j. Tilden was
elected in 1876 and was cheated out of
that high office. - --s.-s.
"As New York goes. SO goes the
Union" has passed into proyerh. Sub
tracing her 80 votes from the 76, we
have only 81 to gain.
Connecticut almost invariably votes
with New York. Subtracting her
votes from the 81 we have only 80 to
gain
Maryland and West Virginia under
normal conditions are Democratic The
nomination of Henry G.. Davis renders
them surely Democratic. Take their Is
votes from the 80 and we have to
hustle for only IS more
1t is a thing incredible that with
West Virginia, Maryland, New Jersey,
New York and Connecticut going Dem
ocratic, Delaware with her glorious
antecedents and with Mr. Addicks run
ming her Republican politics VIII go
Republican.
With her 3 electoral votes we only
lack y Of the greatest prize for which
statesmen ever commended
The un-American antics now being
cut by the Republican governor of Colo
RADIO will give US her electoral votes
which leaves US only short of the
goal
Nevada has been Democratic for
eight years and is so now Montana
has always gone Democratic with an
honest election and a fair count These
two states place US within one vote of
the promised land
Rhode Island has a Democratic gov
ernor filling his second term, and with
the general trend so strong toward De-
mocracy the chances are that Little
Rhody win do herself the honor of
voting for the Democratic candidate,
which would give US three more votes
than we need
BY reason of the Kilkenny cat fight
between the Republican factions in
Wisconsin, the one headed by Governor
La Toilette, the other by United States
Senators Spooner and Quarles, it is
among the probabilities that her 10
votes will be registered for Parker and
Davis, giving US IS votes more than
we need
The foregoing statement takes no ac-
count of Idaho. Indiana, Illinois and
Utah--all classed as doubtful in the
forecast referred to and any one of
which we may carry.
If Governor Van SAINT of Minnesota
heads an Independent Republican ticket
for governor, as it is predicted he will
do, then we may bag the II votes of
that state.
1t is not oyerstating the case to
say that Democratic prospects appear
brighter now than they did in July,
1876, 1884 or 1892, in all three of which
years we swept the country from sea
10 sea and triumphantly elected our
candidates, although we were robbed
of the fruit of our victory in 1875.
