Tub BRYAN VOTE.


20 say about the abnormal increase in
the vote Of the last election. As Gov.
AItgeld has shown in an elaborate ar
ticle. nearly 100000 more votes were
cast in Ohio than there were votes in
5he state. So IL was everywhere. Now
we have Senator Lodge. whose intel
IectuaI capacity no one has ever envied,
writing an article in the North Amer
lean Review. in which he presents Ia
bles showing illiteracy. wealth, popu-
lauon and proportion of foreign-born
population in the States that voted for
Bryan.
As Mckinley had 95 more electoral
woes than Bryan. the Mckinley States
should aggregate q larger population
than the Bryan States. and the returns
show that the electoral vote is almost
exactly in proportion 10 the population.
lI-. Lodge asserts that his tables show
that the Mckinley vote was heaviest
in the states where the average of Hit
e-acv is lowest. This is a leading and
mauifestly unfair proposition. Tie
senator says the percentage Of Hitter
acv in the eKinIey States is 70. while
that OF the Bryan States is 2002, but he
entirely ignores the fact that in ma

each in their turn made some very APP
propriate remarks in reference to the
general good accruing from the intro

periodicals. into any and all classes Of
society. At the close of MI. Writer'S
remarks he kindly offered to supply a
reading room at this place for the bene-
fit of all who cared to devote portion
of their leisure time in storing their
minds with useful knowledge and keep
pace with the current events Of our
country. All he required at our hands
was to provide a suitable room for the
purpose and see that it was kept in
good order. This kind and generous
offer was received with continued APP
plause from the audience and to further
show our true appreciation of such
kindness arrangements have been
perfected to carry on the good work.
It has been decided to dedicate the
offering of the boarding house to such
use and We hope and believe that it
will be the means of doing much good.
