Inter Ocean, writing from Milwaukee,
makes the very wise discoyerj that
the democratic ate committee is pre-
pairing to trade oil the state ticket in
Wisconsin to help Cleveland. Since
Cleveland is certain to carry two
thirds Of the states ard get two thirds
Of the electoral vote without counting
Wisconsin, this discovery is very wise.
1t is still more 50, since the democratic
state committee have decided that it
would be quite easy to elect both
the democratic state ticket and the

TIE Voters Of 1854.

There is some reason to believe that
the popular vote for President and
Vice President. on Nov. 4, will ap-
proach 10, 500, 600. In the absence of
other figures, the plumber just St ated
may BE arrived at in several ways.
Ia 1850, with population In the
States of about 80 900, 600, the Presi-
Dental vote was 8, ,219, 947. The papu
