The star (•» Indicates increase over 1888; the dagger <t) the de rease over 1888. Beside* tho vote given above, there were the following: Wing, Socialist, 329 votes in Conne tlcut, 676 in Massachusetts, 1,337 in New Jersey, 1.,.58 in New York, and 8!»8 in Rhode island; total. 21,136. Scattering vote: 1,267 ju Arkansas, 2,0.54 in Georgia,!Th Maine, 14 in Massachusetts, 105 in South Dakota. 3,'iiiO in Texas, 11 in \ermont, and 13J In Wisconsin. Total vote of the country. 12.086,445. Cleveland’s plurality over Harrison, 373,968. The election was full of surprises. Tho total result falls two iniiion votes short if some of the ante-election estimates. Counting the scattering vote and all, the tolnl vote of tbe country for 1893 1s 12,-3-85,445. But of this number 284,411 votes were contributed by the six now States. Therefore the actual gain over four years ago is only 419,622. The vote for President In 1888 was: Cleveland 5,538,233 Harrison 5,4'0,216 Fisk. Pr 0.,... 249,90? Streeter, Union Labor 148,105 Scattering 4,399

Comparison shows, therefore, that Cleveland gains 19,697 vote*. Harrison loses 156,234 votes. The Populace gain over Streeter is 890,C03 rotes, while the Prohibition! ts gain only 2 .21'. The largo increase of the Populace vote is iue partly to fusion, which gave it tbe Den»q< raticvote in Idaho, Kansas,Wyoming. Colorado and much of the Oregoii vote. The greatest increase in the vote of any one > tate was in Illinois, wh’cli shows a gain of 125, W; tho largest, decrease was 62,'-98 found in Mississippi, where an educational qualification for suffrage was recently enacted. New York State was a great disappointment. The natural increase would have shown a vote of 1.450,50'. but only 7,00 ) more votes than four years ago were polled. While the Australian ballot system was In some degree responsible for the light vote, it can not account for it wholly. A fair assumption seems to bo that th« people generally were apathetic. The vote by eibetors; Ts there be no further changes, will bo: FOR CLEVELAND.
