It will be seen that of the twenty losses, seventeen are in tbe northern states, while the legitimate gains in the north number only Bix two in 1 Iowa, two in Maine, and one each in Minnesota and Oregon. The three gained in Ohio are due soleiy to gerrymandering, and cannot be rightly counted as coming from an expression of the people's will. |
