Official Vote for President.

lie InOoL uCCuiuIS iNtui no VI WV
votes cast for Presidential electors
that We have been able to obtain, will
be found below. They are the figures
sent by the associated press, and pur-
port to be the official ones, except Ne
vada. We have carefully watched
the returns as published, and made
corrections in the figures of such
States as we have heretofore publish
ed, as have been declared by the Off
cial boards. We do not vouch for
the figures we give of the votes cast
this year being absolutely correct, but
we believe they are as correct as can
be obtained, until the librarian OF
Congress publishes his American AL
manac for 1885.
There are various ways in which
the presidential vote is compiled.
One way is to take the lowest vote
received by successful elector and
compare it with the highest vote re-
ceived by a defeated elector, in the
same State. Another compares the
highest votes on each ticket. Another
takes the total vote received by all
the electors on one ticket, divides by
the number Of electors, and compares
with the total vote of the opposition
electors, also divided by the number
of electors. The three different ways
would show different result of few
thousand votes.
In the associated press report, we
believe the highest vote received by
Blaine elector is compared with the
highest vote received by a Cleveland
elector in the same State. The Cleve-
land and Butler men had joint tick
ct in Michigan and Iowa, and the
Blaine men and Butler men had a
Joint ticket in Missouri and West
Virginia. 1t is impossible to tell how
many votes are included in the Blaine
vote in Missouri and West Virginia,
and no record can be had of the
number of votes cast by the But
Ter men in Iowa. In the totals
these votes are included in the
ones credited to Blaine or Cleve-
land, as we believe the Butler men in
Missouri and West Virginia will off
set the Butler men in Iowa and Mich
gan. The latter State is the only one
of the four in which the Butler vote
is known. If the reader does not APP
prove of our arrangement, he can
make his own deductions from the
