a POOR SHOWING


A most interesting and convincing de
mOnstratiOn OF the insigniaeanee and i'm.
potence of the free silver sentiment OF
the country IS given by the ChlcagC
Times-Herald in table comparing N.
votes by states in the Electoral Colisge
with the votes lately cast in the senate
on the free silver substitute.
The table shows that while the vote in
the senate was n for silver against 4
opposed. the same states represented In
these respective votes are entitled to la
as against sis electoral votes. That is
TO say. each silver senator represents but
four electoral votes. while each anti
silver senator represents six electoral
votes.
This discrepancy would he much greater
II some of the states were fairly repre-
sented. For instance. Pennsylvania. the
second state in the Union. Is in part mis-
represented by Don Cameron. Not a
twentieth part of the people oe that great
commonwealth ere for the free coinage OF
silver. and yet Mr.. Cameron assumes 10
speak for one-half OF that great state. or
for sixteen OF her thirty-two electoral
voters II we deduct these votes from
the 1873 electoral votes allowed free silver
on the present senatorial vote. and add
them to the sound money vote, where
they win SO after the presidential cleo
tien, the sound money majority in the I
eighty-one.
There are other states in which the
free silver senators do not properly repre-
sent the people, No one believes the
state of Indiana is free silver state
Possibly one-fourth OF the Republicans
and one-half Of the Democrats may in
dorse the votes of voorhees, and Turpie.
but large majority of the people OF that
state are surely on the side of a stable
standard. And it is well known that in
some of the Southern states. as in Wash
ington, Missouri and California, from
each of which two votes were cast for
silver. there is strong popular senti-
ment against currency revolutions
The great desire OF the silver leaders
was to make demonstration Of force
TO show their teeth on the eve of the
presidential campaign. They have only
succeeded in exposing their weakness.
The most favorable showing they are able
to make is in the senate. where Utah.
Nevada, Colorado. Wyoming, Washing
ton. the two Dakotas. Montana and
Idaho. nine states with an aggregate Of ,
only 100000 population and only thirty
nine electoral votes, cast eighteen solid
votes for the free coinage Of silver. In !
other words. nine states with an agsre- :
gate population but little greater than c
that Of Iowa, and less than that OF AIichl- =
gan. have nine times as much weight IN
The senate as either Michigan or Iowa.
Notwithstanding this. and the mis-.
Of so many states by their Z
senator's. the conspirators ore unable to q
make ever semblance Of representing c
more than comparatively small minor :
