From the East comes light. Little Rhode
Island is large enough to deal The free
traders a stunning blow. The hope that
Cleveland and Reform will carry the
Eastern States is buried under a plurality
of 2O79 In small State where the Demo-
Gratis had a plurality of 44I9 in 18S 9. In the
light of recent events a Presi dental es-
innate of some value eau be made of the
election. The new apportionment gives TO
the South 159 electoral votes, to the East
III and to the West I6S, the total being 444,
with 223 to elect The South must retain
all of its own votes and secure Gi votes
from the North; but if the South carries
New York with So votes, New Jersey
with 10, Connecticut with and In
diana with Is, or 67 Northern
votes in all, it will be still be in the minor
ity. If it loses one small Southern State,
as West Virginia with six votes, or Florida
with four. if Connecticut, New \ Ork. New
Jersey. Indiana, Iowa and Montana be
elasSed as questionable with their SO elec-
toral votes, 1t follows that the Democrats
might elect If they could carry all these
and prevent a loss of more than IS votes at
the South, but the chance that all these
Northern States can be carried by Demo-
crats seems decidedly smaller than the
chance that the Alliance viii cost them more
than is Southern votes.
