CHANCES INCREASED By the admission of tlie four new states iuto the union a considerable change will be wrought in the figures upon which estimates of the political strength- of the two parties is based. In the fist place the electoral college will be increased by thirteen members, of whom three will represent Montana, three South Dakota, four North Da kota and three Washington. This will make the total number of electors 414. If the recent electfons In the new states are any indication of how they will go in 1892, the republicans will have ten additional electors to count upon and the democrats three. This apportionment of the new electors will change somewhat the relation of what have been- known in the past as pivotal states. The two states of New York and Indiana have enjoyed this distinction for the last few years, and each party had to have them, or at least one of them, (New York), in order to carry the election. The admission of the new states has, however, changed this so far as to give the republicans a fair chance for success without carry ing New York.. The following figures will show how this may b. In the last election In diana gave Harrison a plurality of 2,392 votes. This makes Indiana a close state in the next election, with the chances in favor of the republicans. The late election in Montana showed a divided vote, by , which the repub licans elected their congressman, but the democrats carried the state ticket. The republicans have 192 votes in the electoral college from "safe" states. They need but 208, one over the half of 414. Indiana and Montana have nineteen votes and if the republicans can gain them they are victors by a majority of three electors. It follows that next election Indiana and Mon tana may be the doubtful and pivotal states. From this it will be seen that the republican chances for success in 1892 have been much increased, by the ad mission of the new states. The San Francisco Examiner, of Sunday, October. 20th, was probably the largest paper ever printed on the Pacific coast, and it certainly was the finest. It contained forty pages, each of seven columns. With this issue the new Hoe inset-perfecting presses with a capacity ol 72,000 four-page papers per hour, or 24,000 twelve-page papers, or (with both) 48,000 twelve pages, cut, pasted, and folded, were set in motion for the first time. Its daily circulation is over 65,000. The pro gress of the examiner is marvelous, and shows what energy can do, when found in such a man as Mr. Hearst. There is enough matter in the above issue to keep a person reading a whole week.. The Gazette is exceedingly proudiof the fact that it is on the Ex aminer's exchange list. Wonder what the Indian scholars at the Chemawa, Oregon, school think of the "uncivilized" manner in which the superintendents of that institution for the past four years have lnsen treated. It would be a good plan to discharge all the "white" employees" and hire the red men, for there would certainly be less- quarreling in the matter. Chauncy M. Depew says that Cleveland will be the next democratic nominee for president, that Harrison will head the republican ticket to win and that the prohibition party is going to pieces. One-seventh of our telegraph wires would reach around the world. Nothing will so soon make a per son hot as cool treatment. 1 J . - 1 . 1.

WORK AT THE FRONT. TWO COLORADO MEN SECURE A LARGE TRACT ON THE O. P. EXTENSION. CON Messrs J. B. Orman and C. B. Griffin, of the firm of Orman, Crook fe Co., well known railroad contractors. of Pueblo, Colorado, arrived in Albany on last Friday evening for the purpose of prosecuting work on their contract on the eastward extension of the Ore con Pacific railroad, says the Her ald. Mr. Orman was seen by a reporter, and in an interview some facts of in terest were obtained concerning their work on the road. A portion of their plant, consisting of seven car loads of stock and outfit, including 60 mules tools, etc., was shipped by fast freight It arrived in Portland Saturday and reached Albany on Monday and was &t once shinned to the front and work commenced, about 800 men being em ployed. The remainder of the plant will arrive in a short time. "We will finish the work to the summit of the Cascade mountains, distance of about 40 miles from the end of the work now done," said Mr. Orman. "as soon as possible. This will depend somewhat on the weather, but we expect to complete it this fall and winter." Concerning the report that their contract would extend to work on the road east of the Cascade mountains Mr. Orman said that it was not un likely that after finishing the road to the summit they would take a slice of the construction toward Boise City. Messrs. Orman and .Orirhn are pleasant and agreeable gentlemen, and are experienced railroad builders. The shipment of their extensive plant from Colorado to engage in work on the Oregon Pacific road is sufficient assurance that they are here to do a large amount of work. LOCAL AND GENERAL.
