If It Had Been President.

II a president had been chosen in
last weeks election, says the Globe.
Democrat, the tally in the electoral
college would have stood thus:
Republican, 1922; Democrat, IA;
Republican majority, 1863. This is
the resultant Of the states standing in
the votes on Tuesday. November 4,
1902. The Republicans would have
more than twice as many electoral
votes as the Democrats, based on the
tally for state officers or members of
congress, or both, in the various states
on that day, coupled with the figures
in the states-Oregon, Maine and
Vermont-which had their elections
for congressman and other state Off
