tion increases. Her vote at the last gen.
eral election aggregated within seventeen
hundred OF one million, being about u
hundred thousand in excess OF the vote

measured by the standard Of 1880, would
indicate population approximating, II
not quito equal to, five millions" The

the estimated amount Of tho sinking
fund rs fixed BY the constitution and
laws amounted to nearly $4,000, 900.
The estimated revenues from all sources,
according to the experiences and ludg.
ment OF those best qualified 10 make an
estimate were less than Sl6,0OO0OO. The
total debt was reduced during the year
$l,l15,550, leaving total Of Si,075,3lS %
