COiOnizing Voters.

Significantly, Senator Teller said
in substance, the other day in the
senate, that he was not quite sure
whether Bryan was defeated by legal
votes. Senator Allen has started
an investigation, quoting from the
figures used in the Farm, Field and
Fireside, which showed the enor-
NOUS increase of votes in the pivotal
States. This investigation will
doubtless bring out some interesting
facts.
In this connection Morton FIRE.
wen, Esq, of London, the we'll
known lecturer and writer On econo-
mic subjects has, has written letter
to the London Times in which, if
rightly quoted, he says that McKin-
ley was elected as a result of syste-
matte colonization of voters in the
doubtful States. He directs at!en-
ton to the significance of the returns
as already summarized in this jour
nal. These figures show that the
vote in Illinois, Ohio, Michigan and
Kentucky exceeded the total voting
population in 1890, and Mr.. Frewen
asks if it could be possible for these
States to increase in population dur-
ing the prevalence Of panic, when
hundreds of thousands of people had
left the country to remain until
good times returned.
The vote in Indiana is perhaps
more difficult to explain. There the
total exceeds the male population Of
voting age in 1890 by $4,000. This
an increase in population in six
years of 100000. To prove such a
growth is improbable, Mr.. Frewen
shows by the census that Indiana
only gained 2l4,00O from 1880 to
1890, while the election returns re-
veal an increase of 100000 in six
years. These figures are so startling
as to call for an explanation. To
assume that Indiana has so remarka
bly, added to her population during
widespread depression when immi-
grafton has greatly fallen off does
violence to probability.
The Inter Ocean, in referring to
Mr.. Frewen's statement, denies that
there has been any exodus from this
country back to Europe. The editor
needs to inquire more closely about
the shiploads of returning Scandi-
navians, Germans and others during
the past three years. At any rate,
as voters have been magically crea-
ted in Indiana in the past, and as
there was on one side all the requi-
site funds from which to work
similar miracle this year. Senator
Aliens investigation will not be
amiss. As to the suggestion Of the
Inter Ocean that Mr.. Frewen was
not well informed, it should he borne
in mind that he was here during
great part Of the campaign, and was
one of the most effective speakers
and as an advocate o: bimetallism
for many years, he took deep inter.
est in the issue. No man, whether a
citizen of the United States or not,
had better opportunities of knowing
the facts or was better prepared to
weigh both facts and figures judi-
cially.
Let the investigation go on
