IL will be seen by this statement that
while the administration vote has fallen off
over COO, 600. the opposition vote has in
creased. The aggregate vote csst for
President in all the STATES in 1872 was g.
49, .3l5. The vote Of the eighteen States i'm
the above tables was 3,149, 269. The latter
therefore represents about GO per cent. of
the whole vote of the Union. II. then, the
result in 1874 i'm the eighteen States
showed the drift of popular sentiment
throughout the Union, and they gave an
opposition majority Of lss.065. the oppo-
sition majority in the whole country must
BE- 40 per cent. more, or 232. 81 which is an
opposition net gain upon the Republican
vote of November. ls12, of 932 ,6l2-nearly
a million.
How the change has been going on may
also be- observed from a comparison of the
State Legislatures of 1872 and 1874 of those
States which have had Legislative elections
since Gen. Grants Inauguration. The fol-
lowing table shows the Inajorities on joint
ballot of the last previous and present
Legislatures of each of these States:
