r ssentation through the growth of
population. Alabama, Georgia and
South Carolina will retain their pres
emit membership. Maine and Virginia
will lose one each; Arkansas will gain
one.
In all this there is absolutely nothing
to indicate any enlarged representa-
ton for any part of the country be-
yond what it is now, and those who
have been of the opinion that New
York's supremacy was seriously chal-
lenged by the new census, find the
error of their prophecy in the fact
that no state will gain larger repre-
sentation in the next electoral college
than New York, while the three states
which are politically tributary to New
York all gain too-New Jersey, two
electors; Pennsylvania, two, and Con-
necticut one.
What actual losses in representation
there are to be found are in the West,
in what was formerly called the prairie
region, the belt Of states which took
up most actively ten years ago the
support of populism and have suffered
in population, wealth, development
and political influence in consequence.

A movement is on foot in this city
to stir up an interest in industrial de-
velopment. This effort is heartily to
be commended 1t is also a broad
hint to our dormant board of trade to
renew activity in the same direction.
Its machinery is all sound, and only
needs little oiling and little energy
applied at the steam valve to set it in
motion. We have no doubt the pro-
motors of the new movement will be
heartily welcomed by the board of
trade, and all its working apparatus
cheerfuIly put at their disposal. This
seems to us much wiser plan than
forming a new organization for the
same object as one already in exist
ence. The tie Charles H. Drummey
was president of the Ellsworth board
of trade. We suggest that a meeting
be called at an early date to elect a
successor to Mr.. Drummey, and to put
the board again on working basis.

elections since 1880.

1t is quite evident that these figures do
not account for the decrease Of 500 in
Elisworth's population. Three times
within the past four years the total vote
has exceeded that of any year for the past
two decades, and it would exceed it again
to-day IL there was anything like a warm
municipal contest. That looks rather as
il we had grown some bigger instead of
smaller, for who Is there will say that
some of those municipal elections Of ten
to twenty years ago were not just as warm
as those of recent date? Did any voters get
away from F. B. Aiken and H. B. Mason
in 1887 and 1888? Yet in those years,
when we stood credited by Uncle Sans
census of 1880 with population Of 5,O52,
the vote was something like 100 short OF
the vote in 1896, 1897, 1898 and 1899.
HOW BIG ARE WE?
These figures force the conclusion that
Ellsworth Is larger than the census figs

that there has been no such decrease as

Br, ans Defeat Inevitable

The Bangor Commercial. demo-
cratic, which took negative position
editorially throughout the late cam
paign, came out the day after election
with an editorial expressing satisfac-
ton at the election Of Mckinley, in
the course of which it said:

Burr-the greatest traitor who ever iived-as to
praise on the American stump, as has been
done during the campaign now ended, the acts

This utterance of the Commercial is
commendabie, but it would have COM
manded even greater admiration for
the paper if it had been made early
in the campaign. The sentiment Of
the Commercial during the campaign
was pretty generally known by those
accustomed to read papers closely,

come out boldly with the courage Of
its convictions.

500 in the past ten years. We do not mesn
to say that the Ellsworth census enumer-
ators failed to count something like 500 Of
US. We believe they tried TO do their
work thoroughly and consclentiousiy. 1t
Is highly probable that some who should
be counted were missed indeed, the writ
er's attention has been called to one or
two such cases, but 1t is hardly to be sup
posed that these cases run up into the
hundreds.
There must be some other way to &C.
count for the falling of. Perhaps the
time OF the year the census was taken 10
as accountable for it as any one things.
Early spring takes many Ellsworth work
men to Bar Hsrbor and other nearby re-
sorts which are dressing up for summer
visitors. Many girls and women, too, are
gone for the summer by the first OF June.
None OF these are counted in the Els
worth enumeration. Many Others are
away from home at this time OF year, and
it would be easy to miss them.
But after all. what Is the use Of this
speculation? OF course 1t Is not pleasant
to be represented by the census figures as
losing 500 in population In ten years. but
we have the satisfaction of knowing that
there is a pretty big family OF us yet,
when we are all at home, and that there Is
every reason to believe that in the next
ten years Ellsworth will increase In
material things anc-yes-in population
according to the Federal census returns.

1t has long been the notion of many
voters in the East that through the
movement of population westward
the seat of political power would be
removed to, if not beyond, the Missis-
sippi, and twenty years ago, in ad-
vance of the Federal census of 1880, a
plan was seriously considered by many
sang"'oe "Nstern persons to agitate
for the removal of the national capital
to st. Louis, on the ground that that
city - 1890. nearer the geographical
centre OF the country than Washing
ton. This years census was expected
by some people to make an especially
great alteration in the representation
of states.
The census figures show, however,
that any eastern fear of enlarged
western preponderance is unneces
sary. The West has gained much in
wealth and population, but the East
has been gaining, too, and when the
present electoral college is recon
structed on the basis of the recent
census, II is little likely to give any
one part of the country larger pro-
portlonate representation than the
present one. There are this year AT
electors, and if the basis of repre-
sentation for Congressman, now 174,
600, is increased, as i. is probable that
it will be, to 1876, 900 the total number
of electors will be 472, irrespective of
those accorded to any present terri
tory admitted as a state.
If the number of states remains as
it is at present, the three states which
will make the largest gains in electoral
representation will be New York,
Texas and Illinois. New York will be
increased from thirty-six electors to
thirty nine, Texas from fifteen to
eighteen, and Illinois from twenty
four to twenty-seven gain of three
each These three states are in diff
ferent parts of the country conspic-
uously, and the enlarged representa-
ton of any of them will be drawn
rather from states in the West than
from states in the East.
Thus Nebraska. which now has eight
electors, Will, on the basis of the CEN
sus, have only seven. Kansas, which
has ten at present, will only have nine,
and Idaho, Oregon, Wyoming, South
Dakota, Nevada and Mopfana will
retain their present representation.
Kentucky, Tennessee, Ohio and In
diana will retain their present repre-
sentation without an increase. So
will Nova, Michigan and Maryland.
California and Mississippi will gain
one e--.-.- -ach. Minnesota will gain
two, Colorado, one; Connecticut, one;
Florida, one; Louisiana, one; Massa-
