THE SILVER STATE.
Tasaday.. ....October M, ism.
THE ELECTORAL VOTES.
Figuring on the Electoral votes ef the
several States is now in order. The
total number of Electoral votes is 369,
•f which 185 are necessary to elect a
President. The politicians accord Han
cock 138 votes, and Garfield 89 undis
puted. This leaves 142 Electoral votes
doubtful. These votes are apportioned
M follows:
CWi!omia.«,Colorado.. 3
Connecticut.6, Illinois.21
Indiana.15. New York.35
New Jersey.. 9,Nevada. 3
New Hampshire. 6. Maine. 7
Oregon. 3; Pennsylvania.29
If Hancock gets the 138 votes con
ceded to him be will require but 47
more to give him a majority. It is
claimed that be will get the Electoral
votes of New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut, beyond all douhb. Of
course if be does that will give him
three more votes than is required to.
elect him. Should he lose New York
and carry Connecticut, New Jersey,
California and Pennsylvania he would
atilt have two more than a majority.
But it is probable that Hancock will
get the 35 Electoral votes of New York;
9 from New Jersey;. 6 from Connecti
cut; 4 from Maine, where the Demo
crats and Fusionists have combined,
with the understanding that Hancock
w to have 4 of the 7 Electoral votes; 3
from Nevada, which is to-day almost
certain to give him a majority; 6 from
California; 3 from Oregon, 27 from hi3
native State, Pennsylvania, and 15 from
Indiana. It is claimed too that Col
orado, Illinois and New Hampshire are
likely to go Democratic, but however
that may be, those people who do not
let their prejudices overcome their
reason, must admit that Hancock has
yet a decided advantage iu the contest j
unless Florida and Virginia may go Re
publican, and even then he ought to
have an equal show w ith Garfield. That
the Republicans ara by no means san
guine of carrying enough Northern
States to elect their candidate is appa
rent from their attempt to colonize
Florida, where Marshall Jewell has
been caught in the act, and is vainly
attempting to make it appear that the I
tbreo or four hundred men, recently
scut to that State, were Democrats.
This colonization scheme to secure the
Electoral vote of' Florida for Garfield,
shows the hypocrisy of his partisans in
tho present, campaign. While publicly
endeavoring to create the impression in
the North that every Southern Stata is
certain to vote for Hancock, they are
secretly sending hundreds of men to
Florida to carry the State for Garfield.
A week from to-day will however
aett’.o the question definitely, as the
man who is elected this time will ha
Boated, what her ha be Hancock or Gar
field. The- people w ill stand no more
cooked returns, or Returning Board
couuts, made to order, but will insist
on having the man whom they elect,
whether he be Republican or Democrat,,
inaugurated as provided by the Cou-j
•titution.
A YANKEE OPINION..
Of the eight States, which have held
•lections this Fall the Democrats have
carried five and the Republicans three.
The Republican* got a set-back in
Maine and the Democrats in Indiana.
Those were preliminary skirmishes; thai
m&iu battle is to- be fought in Novem
ber. “Who can doubt,” exclaims the
Hartford (Conn.) Times, “that the
Union forces under the gallant Han
cock will drive hack the sectional army
under Garfield, as Lougstreet was
driven back at Gettysburg?”
Rev. H. G. James, of Chicago, re
cently visited some friends at Marshall,
Michigan, and preached on a Sunday
morning in. the Presbyterian Church by
iuvitatioaof the pastor, who announced
that lie would speak again in the even
ing,' After the services he spent two
Lour* in a beer saloon, where he drank
more than he could carry away with
•readiness. Seme of the church officers
•aw him iu this condition, and informed
him that he would not be allowed to
enter the church; so he spent the even
mg in a carousal with the roisterers of
the town.
M« Emil de Girardin recommends
joung Frenchmen to let Greek and
J.stiu alone, and to fttudy English and
Spanish, because they are the languages
•ft* the future..
TELEGRAPHIC ITEMS.
An Inter-Ocean New Yeek special
nays: The Roman Catholic religion has,
for the first time in many years, at last
has become an issue in the politics of
New York City. William R. Grace,
the Democratic candidate for Mayor, is
a Roman Catholic, the intimate friend
of John Kelly and. of Cardinal Me
Closkey, and Protestants seem to have
taken the alarm at the possible danger
to- the common-school system. The
$4,000,000 which are annually spent on
the New York common-schools are dis
bursed by the Board of Estimate and
Apportionment, consisting of the Major
and the Controller. A number of earnest
sermons were preached npon the sib
ject to-day. Rev. Dr. Newman snd
other clergymen took this topic, »nd
the tenor of their addresses seemed to
show the profound agitation of the pub
lic mind. Of course it would take a
large change in the vote to overcoma
the difference between the Democratic
ami the Republican votes. But there
is.no telling what change a week's agi
tation on this subject may bring. Grace,
ia his letter of acceptance, tries to calm
it down by pledging himself in favor of
keeping the comm on schools inviolate..
At Stockton, California, James Court
urier was wounded in the head by a
pistol ball fired by Robert Bond, a
youth of his own age. The latter sup
posed the weapon, a small seven-shoot
er, contained blank cartridges, and
when only two feet away fired at
Ccurturier. The ball 3tiuck the bridge
of the nose, and glancing off entered
the right eye, entirely destroying the
sight. The wound was probed but the
ball was not extracted. The boys were
on the best of terms vha the tiring
was done. The wound is not necessa
rily fatal.
Dispatches from Tennessee anti Ken
tucky are full of hope to the Repub
licans. In Tennessee two Tilden Elect
ors have come out for Garfield, and
there is a large Democratic desertion
among the people. Bankings.'Repub
lican, is more thaa likely to he elected
Governor. In Kentucky two Repub
lican Congressmen will probably bo re
turned. The Republican National
Committee is earnestly recommended
to turn its attention to Tennessee. This
does not indicate a very solid South.
A Washington dispatch, says: Much
excitement is being caused in political
circles by the exposure of the Repub
lican colonization scheme in Florida.
Jewell’s telegrams are published, which
show conclusively that oOO repeaters
have already beeu shipped to Florida.
Train loads of negroes from the West
and South are also pouring into Con
necticut daily.
The Chicago Times says: The tame
ness of the arguments of the average
white stumper in comparison with the
appeals of negro campaigners is vividly
shown by tliis extraet frem the speaci*
of a colored Republican preacher in In
dianapolis: “If any of you go back on
the ticket next month, I’m afraid I
•hall miss you on the right baud of the
\great white throne.”
William R. Grace has accepted thu
Democratic nomination for Mayor of
New York City. He says: “ I believe
that the common »chool8, established
by the people and esteemed by them
their richest inheritance-, should be
maintained inviolate, and I shall favor
liberal appropriations for their support.”
Dispatches from various parts of On
tario. northeast and northwest of To
ronto, report very rough weather, with
anow last night ami this morning, doing
great damage to fruit and other trees.
The snowfall varies from five to twenty
inches.
Rumor again ha* it that Tilden is pre
paring some powerful document! in sup
port of Hancock, and will present the
Democratic National Committoe with a
check for JlOO.OOOi
The Manchester (Eugland) postofiice

The California .Stock Exchange, bet
ter known as the “Little Board," has
suspended business, owing to the de
pression in the stock business..
The distribution of standard silver
dollars for the week ending to-day
amounted to $818,9iK).
Several cases of small-pox are report
ed at Stockton, California.
A Times Boston-Providence special
says that ex-Governor Sprague, in at
tempting to find the whereabout* of hia
wifs, discovered, that sh* had recently
been campaigning fthroigh New York
with Senator Coukling, traveling in a
special aae, and registering at the same
hotels patronised by thi Senater.
The census makes it tolerably clear
that the Utah problem will soon demand
settlement. The Territory has in
creased in population newly seventy per
cent. in. the last ten years. It how has
a population of 145,000, which i» far
greater than th» number required of
other Territories before admittance as
States. Yet the obstacle of polygamy
is still in the way of Utah.
The New York papers are now tell
ing the dear people how Indiana was
carried. They say one express com
pany took from that city to Indiana
the week before the election came off,
the handsome sum. oi $850,000 for the
Republicans, and yet they only carried
the State by a plurality.
A telegram from.Melbourne announc
ing the opening of the International
Exhibition in that city, was received in
London within twenty-three minutes
after the ceremony had taken place.
