DEMOCRATIC PROSPECTS.

The Kansas City Star, a republican
paper, makes the following estimate as
to the prospect of the democrats in
1904, which is SO interesting that THE
RBPoRTEls reproduces it, that demo- |
cratic readers may know the estimation
OF republican papers as to the situation
for 1904:
In the election of 1900 twenty-eight
states were carried for Mckinley and
seventeen states for Bryan. The total
number of votes in the electoral col
lege was 447, of which 292 were republic
can and 155 were democratic, giving
Mckinley a lead of 1877. In the repub-
lican states, the republicans had plu-
rality of 1,440,91s, While in the demo-
cratic states the democrats had plu-
rality of sol ,12S, leaving a net plurality
of sol ,12S, leaving net plurality for
the republicans of S49,79O in the coun-
try-at-large.
The new apportionmcnt of 1904 will
affect twenty states. Illinois, New York
and Texas gain three votes each; Mime
sofa, New Jersey and Pennsylvania gain
two votes each; Arkansas, Colorado, Cal
ifornia, Connecticut, Florida, Louisiana,
Massachusetts, Mississippi, MISSOURI,
North Carolina, North Dakota, Washing
ton, West Virginia, and Wisconsin, gain
one each.
This means an increase of twenty-nine
votes in the electoral college. If the
states go in 1904 as they did in 1900,
the republicans will have 81 electoral
votes, or gain of nineteen, while the
democrats will have 165, OR gain of
only ten.
1t is difficult to conceive what combi-
nation can be made which will give to
the democratic nominee next year the
800 votes necessary for a choice in the
electoral college. On the present appor
tionment, if the democrats carried the
seventeen states of Delaware, Maryland,
New Jersey, New York, West Virginia,
and Utah they would still lack major
lUy. UlNc 10 inc uclllOcEIuS Une Solllt
south and Missouri, together with a
conservative Wall street candidate,
they would lose the western states car
ried by Bryan, and this result would
also leave them in the minority.
In fact, as looks now, nothing short of
a political revolution could reinstate
the democrats in national power. They
would have to prevail in the old solid
south, which is no longer solid, in all
the doubtful states, which are at pres
cnt contented, or else carry states
which immemorially have been the
stronghold of republicanism, before they
can put their standard bearer in the
White House.

of bureaus to exceed their appropria-

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:-A few
words about the cooperative
movement among western farm
ers may be Of interest to many
of your readers.
This movement has finely es-
tablished itself in Kansas where
it has proven success. 1t is
developing rapidly in Iowa. And
it this state it is jus gaining a
foot-hold.
Its object is to bring the farm
ers closer together especially in
a commercial way. With this
end in view the farmers of GER
tain localities associate them
selves and cooperate to market
their products and to purchase
certain classes Of supplies. The
The purpose usually being to
eliminate the middleman's profits
where they seem exhorbitant, OF
where he is practically member
of some trust.
So it is but natural that these
associations make provision for
the shipment of the grain ant
sometimes of the stock of it:
members, and for the purchase
of lumber, coal and some Other
articles in bulk.
At least five such organiza'
tions have now incorporated
themselves under the laws OF
this state. Four of these owl
and operate elevators. Calls t.
organize are out at Kearney
