The total vote of the United States at the last presidential election before the civil war (1860) was as follews: For Lincoln 1,806.352 For Douglas 1,375,157 For Breckinridce 945,763 For Bell 589,581 Total vote 4,776,853 From 1860 there was no presiden tial election at which every state voted till 1872. In 1864 there were eleven southern states not voting. In 18G8 Virginia, Texas, Mississippi and Florida did not vote. In 1872 all the states, thirty-seven (Colorado was not then a state), voted, with this result : For Grant 3,597,090 For Greeley 2,834,079 Total vote 6,431,169 The vote at this election was far short of a full one. The Fusion can didate, though he received the in dorsement of the Democratic nation al convention, could not control the Democratic vote in the southern Btates, as is manifest from the fact that he received majorities in only six of the sixteen. In 1876 the con test was a square issue between the Kepublicans and Democrats, and the vote all the states voting was as follews: For Hayes (Rep.) 4,033,950 For Tilden (Dem.) 4,231.835 For Cooper (Greenback) 81,740 For Green Clay Smith (Pro'b'n) 9,522 Scattering 2,63G Total votes 8,412,733 The next presidential election was in the census year of 1880, with this result: For Garfield (Hep.) 4,440,053 For Hancock (Dem.) 4,442,035 For Weaver (Greenback) 307.30G Scattering 12,576 Total votes 9,201,970 The increase in the four years from 1876 to 1880 was 788,237 votes, or just about 9 per cent. If, therefore, we add 9 per cent to the vote of 1880 we shall closely approximate the to tal vote that will be cast at the elec tion in November this year. Thus: ITotal vote. 18S0 9,210,970 With OX per cent added 859,690 Probable total, 1831 10,170,660 The presidential vote of this state presents the following interesting figures. In 1860 the vote was as fol fel fol eows: For Lincoln 5,270 For Douglas 3,951 For Breckenridge 5,006 For Bell 183 Total vote 14,410 In 186i the vote was For Lincoln 9,888 For McCIellan 8,457 Total vote 18,345 showing an increase of nearly 28 per cent. In 1868 the vote was For Grant 10,961 For Seymour 11,125 Total vote 22,036 Being an increase of about 20 per cent. In 1872 there were cast For Grant 11,819 ForGreeley 7,730 ForO'Conor 572 Total vole 20,121 An apparent loss of 8 per cent, but which is directly traceable to the re fusal of many Democrats to vote for Greeley. In 1876 Oregon's presidential vote was as follews: For Hayes 15,206 For Tilden 14,149 For Peter Cooper 510 Total vote 29,865 An increase of more than 35 per cent, over the vote of 1868. In 1880 the vote was For Garfield 20,618 For Hancock 19,950 For Weaver 245 Scattering G7 Total vote 40,880 An increase over the vote of 1876 of 11,015 or nearly 37 per cent. Allowing an increase of 33 per cent, which does not seem under the circumstances too much, it would appear that on the 4th of next No vember the commonwealth of Oregon will poll 54,507 votes for president of the United States. Apart from the historic value of these figures they admirably illus trate the growth of our state for the last quarter of a century. While several shocking things have been published about Cleveland's character, he has received unstinted praise from many great and good men. The Kev. Mr. Beecher recently pro claimed Cleveland "an angel of light" There is no doubt that the genial Grover, notwithstand his adverse avoirdupois, needs only wincrs to qualify himself for the high order of beings referred to by Mr. Beecher. In this wicked world angels are so scarce that anything resembling one should be received with joy and grati tude. An angel of light hovering over the white house and sheddinc a heavenly lustre upon the capitol would be a spectacle compared with which the Bartholdi Statue of Lib erty would sink into insignificance. Seriously, we hope, for the sacred- ness of American manhood, that Mr, Beechers encomium on Cleveland s deserved tribute to his character. is The entire expenditures of the gov ernment are being carefully indexed in great volumes. The work is being done and done well by a 900 woman clerk, under the supervision of a chief or division who receives $2,000. It is said that when Governor Cleve land was sheriff he proved himself to be a man of exceptional ability. Dur ing one year, it is claimed, ho put in and received pay for 863 days' at tendance. If it be true that the man who can make two blades of grass grow where only one grew before is deserving of high honor, what shall be done to him who can take time by the forelock and condense two years into one? "With such a capacity for condensation, Cleveland would make a capital president. The usual term of four years would be reduced to two, and everything would be run on the double-compound pressure plan. The chances of both Blaine and But ler diminish proportionally as the cuteness and capability of Cleveland come to light. ii. . m mi m The Iowa municipal and district courts are crowded with liquor cases. The energy which for several years has been expended in procuring a prohibitory law, is now devoted to securing its enforcement, and litiga tion is the order of the day in all the large towns. In nineteen years the national debt has been reduced from 2,750,000,000 to $1,450,000,000, and the annual in terest changed from $150,900,000 to less than $50,000,000. No other na tion has over made such a record. The charge that will worry Ben Butler the most is the one which George Francis Train lodges against him. He says Butler stole the ideas in his letter of acceptance from his (Train's) speeches. The astonishing fact is brought out by a writer in the September Century, that out of our total popu lation of over 50,000,000, the white population of native parentage is only 28,601,676. Col. BiiACKDoa and Major Strike Ox were the rival candidates for chief of the Osage nation, in Kansas, at the last election, and the Colonel was victorious. Every dog has his day. "Two classes," says Butler, "the very rich and the very poor, are hurt ful to the people of the Bepublic." He prefers a medium condition, say about two millions. The population of the United States increases at the rate of 32 per cent, every ten years. At this rate there will bo 88,000,000 inhabitants in 1900. N. C. Ba-RKett, renominate! by the Georgia Democrats for secretary of state, is 90 years old and has hold his present office since 1842. Enough copies of the tariff speech es delivered in the last congress were printed to give one to every voter in the country. Henbv YhiIiAbd will live in Berlin in the future. He wants to get as far away from "Wall street as pos sible. i Six years ago steel rails were sold in this country at $172 per ton; now they are quoted as low as $28 per ton. There has been wasted upon our invisible navy $337,000,000 within the last eighteen years. 1 M NEW TO-DAY. r i !: stqRE Knbber IlnstlBS Boots, Coats.
