ELECTION FIGURES.

We have made a partial examination
of the election returns as officially report
ed the State Board Of Canvassers. and
we will in "A day or so print The figures
in detail. for they are worthy Of careful
study. They show that in thirty-one
counties of the State, in which the negro
vote is equal to the white vote or in
excess OF it, Bryan's majority over Nc
Kinley is 6.905 and his gain over Cleve-
lands vote in 1892 was 666S, notwith-
standing the fact that by the last CEN
sus returns the negro voting population
in those counties was $500 more than
the whites.
The free-silver papers have been say
ing that a large sum Of money was ex-
pended by the Republicans in the pur-
chase OF votes But it is evident that
If this money was used in the black belt.
it was employed TO a very poor adj
vantage.
The Richmond State recently said;

few days back we copied from the
leading business man OF Richmond had
made to the Washington correspondent or
the Baltimore Sun in respect to the I'M
equal distribution OF currency throughout
the country that the National Bank law
produced, and we remarked on 1t that
while II was undoubtedly true that the
Eastern States issued pretty much all
OF the National Bank notes that are out,
yet the Rhode Island man would meet
the argument by saying that as his notes

elsewhere in a most instructive and inter-
esting manner
We did not at all intend to deprecate
our friends way Of presenting this sub
ject in what we said We only intended
TO point out the way the Eastern man
would meet his argument.
But at last. that Eastern man cannot
meet 1t. When we find our part of the
country issuing all OF the currency that
the existing laws permit to be issued. and
another, and an immense section Of #.
issuing almost none and depending upon
the first for such supplies of it as it
gets, that statement of the case alone
is enough to prove to us that there is some
thing wrong In the system.
