The NEW ELECTORAL COLLEGE,

In the electoral college to be chos-
en- this year there will be 444 votes,
of which 223 will be necessary to a
choice. The increase since the last
presidential election is 43. Twenty
of these will be cast by the new
states, namely: Idaho, Montana,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Wash
ington and Wyoming, The remain
ing 23 are the additional votes based
on the new apportionment of the
older states, as follows: Alabama, Ar
kansas, California, Colorado, Georgia,
Kansas, Massachusetts,, Michigan,
Missouri, New Jersey, Oregon. Wis,
consin, one each; Illinois, Minnesota,
Pennsylvania, Texas, two each; Ne.
braska, three. 1t is easily seen that
the increase is largely to the advan-
tage of the Republicans. The new
states are reasonably sure to go Re
publican; possibly one or two may
go Democratic, but this is improb,
able. The majority of additions in
the older states go into the Republi-
can column. With this increase the
Republican party can dispense with
New York and one or two other
doubtful states and still be victorious.
If the Democrats lose New York,
there is no combination within the
bounds of reason that will enable
them to triumph. The chances, the
candidates, the issues-in all these
particulars the Republicans have the
decided advantage in the coming
struggle.-K. G. Journal.

bill being called up under a suspen-
sion of the rulesP' said Congressman
Springer to Mr.. Catron, and straight
way the latter called on the commit
tee on territories and urged them to
lose no more time, but to act upon
this plan. Accordingly, the bill was
called up on the following Monday,
under suspension of the rules, and
passed. These are the facts in the
case, known to those on the inside at
Washington, and serve to show the
excellent work done by Mr.. Catron

How FREE TRADE WOULD WORK.

Ask a lawyer if he would like all
those engaged in other occupations
or professions to become lawyers and
compete with him and he will quickly
answer no. Ask merchant whether
he would not be glad to see all those
who are now manufacturers or i'm.
porters change their business and
become merchants, too, and he will
speedily express his disapprobation
of any such scheme. Yet the free
traders want to make us a nation of
agriculturists, and they ask farmer
to hail with JOY system that would
transform all those who are now his
customers into competitions

The New Mexico delegation was
source of much general interest
among the friends of the two contest
ants. Nobody knew how New Mex
ico's six would vote. In the COM
mittee on credentials Mr.. Catron, the
New Mexico member, cast the de-
Gliding vote which seated the Ala
bama contestants favorable to Presi-
dent Harrison, and when he did so
there was a commotion followed by
an immediate adjournment OF the
committee at the instigation Of Mr..
Blaine's supporters. This was the
first time New Mexico had shown its
hand. An earnest and well made
endeayor was made to bring Catron
and several other New Mexico dele
gates into line for Mr.. Blaine, and
while the plumed knight had several
admirers in the delegation, still this
effort was fruitless and a solid SIX
vote went in for the presidents re-
nomination when the proper time
came.
"An interesting incident in con.
nection with Mr.. Catron's visit to
Washington" said Mr.. Whitmore,
'is the true inwardness of the man

"When the Atchison reorganization
scheme was first reported the impress

that the details of the plan have been

There is, of course, good deal of

the shareholders are called upon to
make no sacrifice; but upon the
whole opinion is not unfavorable and
there seems little doubt that the plan
will be accepted without serious op-

not tally with the story that Chaves

who he said were bound to do him
up. But the trial will probably
bring out the facts in the case.
