party 1t was. take Tor Instance the
vote IN my state That had been lie
publican foF thirty years: FOR two
successive Sqnernatoriai elections the
democrats hao carried the DAY; III
1892 the pendulum swung back and
replaced the Renubllcan party III
power ana threw the Democratic
party ont. WY because the ma,
jorlty OF the people IN Iowa wished
10 return the hep"bllcah party
Not at all. FOR III 1865 HARRISON
carried that state by 1926 majority
over all, and ID 1892 he Is 1000 III
the minority Now the majority OF
the people OF Iowa were not trying
to reflect Harrison; they were trying
to defeat him, but owing to the fact
that they were at cross purposes Mr..
Harrison got the electoral vote OF
Iowa by a plurality as a mere Incl
dent Of the situation, not as the re-
suit OF intention of the voters Of
Iowa. Take the Republican states
OF Wisconsin, Indiana and ILLINOIS.
Mr.. Cleveland got the electoral yo-
ties OF those states; but was the ma
jorlty of the people of any one of
those states trying to give it to Cleve-
land: Certainly not; they were try
ing to defeat him. and the fact was
that he did not carry them by a ma
Jorlty' but by plurality; the major
lty would have defeated him; but
they we're at cross purposes, and as
a mere incident, growing out of the
situation, the electoral vote went to
Cleveland, Take 100000 votes
which we polled in the South-white
votes. One year before that time
That had voted, every one of them,
'he Demacratlc ticket, but they re-
VOTED against Democracy, half a
million OF tiaem, and cast their votes
aLlio terrorism ana prescription pc
cuIlar to that locality, against the
Democratic party. The revolt was
against the party Ill power.
Now again, were the majority Of
the people of the United States try
ing to place Dir. Cleveland in the
" hlte House? Certainly not. Why
DO l say so: Because he is more
than one million In the minority on
the popular vote. 4 majority of the
people Of the United States were try
ing to defeat him, but they were at
cross purposes. It is a revolution.
