Frank Hatton, ex-Postmaster
General, has figured the electoral
vote Of 1892, based on the admis-
sion Of the tour new states, between
the two parties, as follows: Con
ceding Montana as doubtful, the
certain Republican vote will be $50
and the sure democratic vote 1856,
leaving IS doubtful. If the cleo,
toral college is unchanged by the
new apportionment, it will contain
Alb members, requiring 20S to
elect. On this basis the Repub-
licaus will lack % votes and the
democrats 50. Granting New
York to the opposition, the repub-
i'can candidate can win by carry
ing California, Indiana, and West
Virginia, which states have 20
votes, or dropping West Virginia
and adding Connecticut or New
jersey to California and the result
will be quite as satisfactory. Omit.
ting New Jersey, West Virginia
and Connecticut as we'll as New
York, the republican candidate
will win by carrying California,
Rhode Island, Montana and Indi.
ana. As the republican candidate
Is reasonably sure OF carrying one
Vt these combinations his success
is almost assured. On the other
hand the democrats must carry
New York and New Jersey or
they cannot win, even with all the
doubtful states. New York alone
would not d" them any good, nor
with Indiana added to New ,Ter-
sey, but with Connecticut, Mon
tana or California III addition to
The others democrat would be
elected. In fact it will require ex-
traordinaIy figuring t. secure a
democratic majority out Of the list
~ states ranked rs DOUBTFUL.
