In forty four counties where the col

white vote the Democratic majority fell
from 25,2S9 for Cleveland to 2.226 .or
Bryan.
In fourteen valley counties the Demo-
cratic majority fell from s,112 for Clevc-

counties and three cities in the southwest
Cleveland's majority of 1898. was tuIn-
ed into amajority for Mckinley of 2.iI9.
These figures show that the part of the
State where the white vote islargcst Went
for Mckinley, while the black counties
went for Bryan according To tie returns.
Had the votes in the black counties been
