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.

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.
