In 1892 there were 4A votes in the Elec-
toral College. and it took 23 to elect. In
1896 there are A7 votes, and 1t takes 224 to
elect. Strictly speaking. 2221s electoral
votes would have elected in 1892, but as
there is no such thing as dividing an
electoral vote, 223 were necessary to a
choice. The curious thing about it is that.
although three votes "a been added to
the Electoral College since 1892 by the adj
mission Of Utah, it requires only one more
vote to constitute a majority now thar it
did then.
