are nearly the came.
In 1898 the State Of Pennsylvania elected Go.

In 1893 Delaware elected Mr.. Robinson (oco

Bot in 1910 Georgia gave good round ma jor

Ohio IN the year 1888 gave Shannon (locofoco)
for Governor a majority of J,72O.
Yet in 1910 Ohio gave the anti-locofoco electoral
tickot a neat little ma 'rlty Of iwcnty three thou
sand.
Maryland in 1895 gave to Grayson the Iocofo-
candidate for Governor, n minority of 239.
Yet in 10 this Maryland gave n ma.
jority for tho anii-Iocofoco electoral ticket OF
4,776.
Ia 1888 the State OF Massachusetts elected
Marcus Morton, tho Iocofoco candidate for Gov r.
nor by a ma jpri,y OF
Yet in 1910 good old Massachusetts, gave 10
the anti ocooco electoral ticket ma oriiy Of
2O93O.
10 1888 New Jersey returned TO Congress n
Iocofoco delegation. claiming ma gritty Of Go
This claim was not allowed, but the Wing real
majority was less than that.
And yet in 1910 New jersey gave the Wing
electoral ticket n ma 'ritv of 2.:sl7.
Maine, in tho year 1898 gave 10 Fairfield, the
locofoco candidate for Governor majority Of
3,32S.
Bat in 1910 Maine gave ma ,ri,y for the
Wing electoral ticket Of Ill.
Michigan IN 1888 elected Stephens Il. Mason,
The locofoco candida &c for Governor, and the rest

these States gave maj oriiy tor the wing electo-

suits will be found.
