How the Northern States Voted.

declared in any State. Close esti-
mates OF the majorities have, how
ever, been given, and from these it
is easy to show how the Northern
States voted and how themaiorities
they gave compare with those re-
corded in 1898, the last previous
mid-presidential year election.
The Northern States fall natur-,
ally into three sections, namely, the
Eastern, the Middle Western and
the Far Western sections. The
Eastern section includes the six
New England States and NewYork,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
The total majority these States gave
last Tuesday as compared with the
total majority they gave in 1898 is
shown in the following:-
1898 1902
Eastern section. 600 . 100000 $500
Here is shown Republican loss
of about sc, 500, most OF which oc-
CURED in Massachusetts and the
remainder in Rhode Island and New
York. 1t is not a loss due to any
serious detection from the party,
but to local causes which can be
easily rcmedied. Rhode Island will
be recovered in a national election
and New York can be depended
upon to give a good Republican ma
jority in 1904.
The Middle Western section in
cludes Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Mich
igan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and
Iowa, seven States. The total Re-
publican majority given in these
States last week and compared with
the total majority in the same
States in 1898 are as follows
Middle West s1s RsR; dSo Dem. R EeP; JSo Dem.
The Republicans carried every
one of the States in this section in
1898 and again in 1902. The total
majority this year, however, is
much larger than it was four years
ago. Every one Of the seven States,
Michigan alone excepted, gave a
larger Republican majority than in
1898, and if the majority in Mich
igan on the ticket below Governor
were taken that State would show
an increase also. In any event the
total Republican majority in the
Middle West this year is $4,000
larger than in 1898.

-Four years ago the Republicans
carried six of the Far Western
States and the Democrats seven,
and the latter had majority in the
section of nearly 5000. But this
year the Republicans carried twelve
of these States and the Democrats
one State, and the total Republican
majority in the section is 1877, ,0OG
instead of a Republican minority Of
nearly 5000.

in these three sections, which in

In 1898 the Republican majority
in the Northern States was $50, 900
in round numbers. In 1902 the ma
jority of same party in the North is
$50, 800 a Republican gain
of $500. -Four years ago the
Democrats carried seven States in
the North and the Republicans
twenty-five. This year Democrats
carry only two Northern States
and the Republicans carry twenty
seven. These facts and figures are

Speaking of the death and downfall
of a young girl, the Punxsuta

young lives-lives that might have been
happy, lives that might have been an
honor to some aged father and mother

step that possibly was considered as
