Where Will the Unplaced States Go.
OF the unplaced states where ought
California to go? In 1892 its electoral vote
was given to Cleveland by IA plurality.
The combined Democratic and Populist
vote was 25, i96 over the Republicans. In
1894 the Democratic governor was elected
by 1,2O6 plurality and the Democratic and
Populist votes combined had plurality of
52,5lO over the Republicans. 1t is a sig
nificant fact that much dissatisfaction pre-
vailed, and while the Democratic governor
was elected the other state officers went to
the Republicans.
delaware has gone Democratic seven
times since 1875 and Republican once.
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa and Michigan
have in them some Democratic disaffection
Judgment, based on ascertained facts,
would be justified in placing Illinois, In
diana and Wisconsin in the Bryan column.
There is certainly good ground for believ-
ing they will maintain their combined
Demo, attic and Populist pluralities under
the Impetus Of union and the promise of
victory
The rest of the unplaced states are on
