WIscosslss GREAT PLURALITY.

The plurality of LOG. 5Sl votes received
by President Mckinley in this state
Mt the recent election is deserving of
particular mention, because it shows
that Wisconsin has given the republican
administration the most magnificent
endorsement of any state in ILe Union.
There il only one other sSate that
rolled mp larger plurality than Wiscon-
sin and that was Pennsylvania. The
republican plurality in Pennsylvania
this year was 28s, 1876, which is a good
deal larger than that obtained in Wis
consin, but then the population of Penn
sylvania is three times greater than
that of Wisconsin, so that in proportion
the Wisconsin plurality is greater than
that of Pennsylvania. But even though
Pennsylvania be awarded the palm as
the banner republican state so far as
the actrai size of the plurality is
concern /, the republican victory in
Wisconsin is the more remarkable.
For it was only few years ago that the
democrats carried Wisconsin, whereas
PENNSYLVANIA has always been the most
certain republican state in the Union
1t is furthermore gratifying to republi-
cans that Wisconsin with its large num-
Der of German-American voters should
gain distinction for standing by Presi-
dent Mckinley in spite of the effort to
miss lead them by disappearing his
foreign policy Milwaukee Sentinel
z.=-z-
A late issue of the Milwaukee Sentinel
contained long article and diagram
for proposed reapportionment of the
state into congressional districts. The
proposed scheme wouId drop Adams
and Sank counties from our Third dis
trict, and add Monroe to the north and
La Fayette on the south east. With
part of the territory there is little COM
munitv Of interest. But the suggestion
of the writer and diagramer that the
apportionment planned would not dis
turb the sitting members of Congress
by throwing two into the same district
is too weak to consider. The districts
should be so formulated as to conserve
the best interests of the people. 1t is
a new and fallacious thought that dis
tricts, either congressional or legislative,
should be carved to accommodate indi
viduals instead of the common interests.
A later article and diagram in the
Sentinel materially changes it's former
speculation. The Third district IS
outlined is composed of juneau, Mon
roe. La Crosse, Sank, Richland, Vernon,
Crawford and Grant. This is subject to
objection not less serious than the
former.
