Suggestive Ffg,,res.

Suggestive Figures. 1g
The Republican party, as is we'll
known, proposes to enact. a national,
election law SO as to place the elec-.
ton of Presidential Electors and,
Congressman under the supervision
and control of the Federal Govern
ment. The justification or excuse
for this law is the alleged suppress
sion of the negro vote in the South:
Last week, in the United States
Senate, Mr.. Pasco, of Florida, speak
ing on this subject, presented a
number of very suggestive tables
compiled from the census and from
the vote cast for President in the
different States in 1880 and 1888, all
going to show that, in proportion to
the voting population, there were in
those years fully as many silent vo
tiers in the Republican States of the
North as in the Democratic States
of the South, if not more.
From these figures twill appear
that the advocates of national cleo
ton law will have to seek some
other ground than foreible suppress
sion on which to explain the silent
vote of the South or else they will
have to concede that an equally
large proportion of the Northern
vote is also forcibiy suppressed. 400
We have room for but few of the
figures given by Senator Pasco, but
they will illustrate the prevailing
rule. m a3fi s9il..a sS.,
In Alabama the total voting
strength of the State, by the census
of 1880 was 259, 1884; the actual vote
cast for President that year was 49,.
507, leaving a silent or alleged sup.
pressed vote of 1Os,377. aMassa.
chusetts the total voting strength
was 500, GAS; the actual vote cast
was 28l ,T13, leaving a silent vote of
220,935. In Mississippi tho total
voting strength was 23S, 532; the
vote cast 116,401, leaving silent
vote of 132, 131 In Georgia the to-
tai voting strength was 321 ABS; the
vote cast was 15S,551, leaving a 81.
lent vote of 16o. 1877. In Illinois the
total voting strength was 79C, SIT
the vote cast was 621,716, leaving a
silent vote of 175,l31. In Pennsvl-
vania the voting strength was L.
O9+,2S the vote cast was ST2, 500,
leaving silent vote of 22l 1877.
In 1888 twenty States chose Re-
publican electors, and eighteen chose
Democratic electors. Tho silent
vote in the twenty Republican States
was 1855, 243. The silent vote in
the eighteen Democratic States was
1,4s4, 800, or an excess of silent vo-
tiers in the Republican States of
403. 443. aB.a 30 i,sa saiasvs III.
