Show m THE NEW APPORTIONMENT If tho new apportionment bill passes in its present shape the chances of the two great parties in 1S92 are indicated in the following The states that voted for CLEVELAND CLEVE-LAND at the last presidential election will have representation in the electoral college as follows Alabama 11 Missouri 17 Arlmnsasuonoon S New JerseynnulO Connecticut 0 j North Carollnaunll Delaware 3 South Carolina 9 Florida > nn 4 Tennessee 12 Georgia 13 Texas 15 Kentuckynn13 Virginia 12 Louisiana 8 West Virginia Un 6 Maryland n 8 I lJississippLmuum 9 TotaLoooonoooon175 The states which voted for HARRISON in 1SSS will have electoral yotes as follows Caliornianun 9 Nevada nn 3 Colorado Un 4 New Yorknun 36 Illinois 24 New Hampshire 4 Indiana nnn 15 Ohio i 23 Iowa u n 13 Oregon 4 Kansasnuun 10 Pennsylvania 32 Maine 6 Rhode Islandnu 4 Massachusetts 15 Vermont unu 4 Michigannn 14 Wiseonslnuu 12 Minnesota u 9 Kebraskaun 8 Total 249 The new states will have the following votes Idaho uuun 3 Washington 4 Montananun 3 Wyoming h 3 North Dakota 3 South Dalmthn 4 TotaLnnn 20 These give a total of 444 electoral votes with 223 necessary to a choice In lSSS Mr CLEVELAND received lOS electoral votes and Mr HARRISON 233 The states that voted for CLEVELAND in 1SSS therefore gain 7 votes and those that voted for HARRISON HARRI-SON 16 So if the Republicans could hold the states that they carried two years ago they would have a majority of the electoral votes and 25 votes to spare without taking the new states into account If we give them all of these except Montana they would have 2GG votes to 178 for the Democrats Demo-crats a very comfortable majority But New York Indiana and Massachusetts Massachu-setts will in all probability go Democratic thus giving tho Democrats amajority of 44 The uncertainty caused the Republicans from tho results of the last election make their chances for success in 1892 very meagre even with the advantage of this partisan reapportionment |
