These figures show that the great States
of the central West, increasing in popula-
ton, in varied industry and wealth, are the
stronghold of the Republican party to-day.
The Republicans from these States and the
two Dakotas constitute majority of the
party in the next House. But for the bale
full influence of Tannerism in Illinois the
Republicans would have done little better
than the foregoing figures show. Those
States will have 100 votes in the next Elec-
toral College. If Organism shall be the issue
in 1900 the 12O electoral votes will be against
it's candidate.

The report &C State Auditor Daily contains

1t viii be we'll for it to heed. One OF these
Is that the claims of special judges be paid
by the counties instead of by the State.
Last year the State paid $15.440 to special
Judges. Who these judges were and how it
came to pass that such service was required
would make an interesting statement for
those interested in state affairs. Sometimes
d judge cannot hear a case because he has
been connected with it before his election.
In such instances it seems proper that
special judge may be paid When, however.
