The Prospects of the Democratic Party
The Albany Argus argues for a Democratic sweep in the fall, naming states that could produce a two thirds electoral vote and a large congressional and Senate majority. It cites waning Radical power, widespread corruption, and grants optimism for decisive action against Grant era misrule as the party builds organization. The Buffalo Courier echoes cautious optimism and urges thorough organization to seize key states and achieve a Democratic majority.
