Iowa, Mississippi,
South Carolina. North Carolina,
Minnesota, Colorado.
There are forty-four ststes, and it
viii require the votes Of twenty-three
to elect . president. In the list Of
states accorded to Cleveland there ID
not one that would be donb tful.
Alabama and Arkansas may be mere
or less Affected BY the peoples party
in November; but botk have solid
democratic delegations in the present
congress, and large n jerity Of their
members, if not all of them, are
earnestly supporting Cleveland's cleo
ton. In none of the other states in
the Cleveland list could there be any
possible doubt a. to how the 5elega.
ton would vote, and It is entirely
safe to ssy that the least vote Cleve-
land could receive in the house would
bs twenty-five.
In addition, Iowa wos!d be likely
to vote for him, % 6 of The IL con-
gressmen are Democrats. In the same
list may be classed South Carolina,
Mississippi and South Carolina have
both solid Democratic delegations,
and the odds are very largely in favor
of both Of them voting for Cleveland.
North Carolina is solidly Democratic
with . single exception, and it, vote
would be cast tor Clevelaad with res-
sonable. certainty. Minnesota is class
cd Is doubtful. although three Of her
five congressman are Democrats.
Some of them were supported BY the
Peoples party, and - the detection Of
one would prevent the state from 60
ing to Cleveland, We class it o. doubt
full. Colorado is also classed % doubt
full, but i. is quite likely that Harrison
could receive the vote of the state if it
would be Of any service to him. The
silver craze is stronger there and in
Nevada than in any of the states of
the Union. In the event of Harrison's
defeat by the people, it is not likely
that any OF the silver states would
vote for him in the house.
Of the eleven states given to Hsr-
rison in the house, Idaho, Nevada,
North and South Dakota and Wyo-
ming cannot be classed as having iron
clad republican delegations. If the
west shall revolt seriously against the
old parties and enough of the repub.
lican states desert Harrison to prevent
his election by the people, it Is quite /!
likely that the states named would |
desert him and vote for the Peoples
candidate for president. Kansas and
Nebraska would certainly vote for
Weaver, as Kansas has five Alliance
men out of seven, and Nebraska two
out of three. ANY one who carefully
analyses the delegations from the diff:
ferent states to the present congress
cannot entertain any doubt as to the
election of Mr.. Cleveland to the presi-
dency if there should be failure to
elect by the people. |

plastron or shell covering the under part

The upper and under shells then meet in
