BLICT,R %I. ST ‘TIISTICS. Amon. election'
agent, of 14, Buckinghamstrest, Loudon, is writing a
series of 'titers in the Dail, News on the statistics of '
electors at the nett gener4l election in 1869. In Dorset
he says there are now 6 203 electors, and the number
of male occupiers of 112 and under 1.50 is 4,626, which
will therefore give an increase of 74 per cent upon the
present register. Touching the borotighe, he gives the
following figtires. Ilridport, actual constituency in
107-143 working class, 329 other classes; working
class minority 186 : possible constituency in 1869-86$
working class, 402 other classes ; workin' gelass majwity
461. Dorchester, in 1867-152 working class, 280 other
classes; working class minority 128 : in 1869-533
working class, 295 other classes; working class majority
238 Lyme Regis, in 1867-49 working class, 201 other
classes; working class minority 152 : In 1869-372
Working Chiefs 31111 other classes; working class majority
104. Poole, in 180-- 17 el working class, 504 other
classes; working clam minority 487: in 1169-1184
working class. 599 other classes ; working class majority
581 Shaftesbury, in 1867-102 working class, 359
other classes ; working class minority 257 ;in 1869-
1194 working ciao', 368 other classes; working class
majority 826. Wareham, in 1867-56 working class,
217 other classes ; working class minority 161 : in 1869
—B7l working elms, 400 other classes; working class
majority 471. Weymouth, in 1867-356 working class,
550 other classes; working class minority 194 180
—B4l working clams, 710 other classes; working class
majority 131. So that in every borough in Dorset the
working ciao' will have the elect val supremacy, if they
qualify by residence and parment. It should be
explained that in these calculations Mr. Acland credit,
the working classes with that portion of the prelmt
constituencies which is assigned to them in the official
return ; and ie further credits them with the whole
number of male occupiers under £lO. He debits the
working classes with the gross number of "male
occupiers" of (ll) and upwards, and which in the official
return he says is genaally and greatly in tutee's of the
registered electors.
