1t will be seen from these figures that the
males Of voting age in the United States in
1880 numbered 1851 ,434, and that the
presidential vote of that year amounted to
only 9,204, 42S. 1t should be remembered
that only seventy-three per cent. voted in the
presidential election, which always COM
mands a larger vote than mere State cleo
