ton. of Intelligent resident, of the ..ate. ol I J. BLAIN'S COLUMN. IXTEliKSTINli FIGl'ltES. The printed list of the members-elect of the next house furnishes some Interesting figures and deductions. The list Is un official but accurate. Of the 332 member there are 237 democrats,87 republ'.cans,and 8 members of the Farmer's Alliance who sill not go into either party caucus. There are other members In southern states who were elected on the Alliance platform.but on democratic tickets, and they will vote on all party questions with the democrats. Gleaning the list by states It appears that there arc of the 44 states no less than 16 with solid democratic delegations and 13 more where the majority of the delega tion is democratic. There are 10 states with solid republican delegations and 2 with republican majorities. Of the re gaining 3 states 1 have Allllauce majori ties, while In the 1 remaining state, Min nesota, there are 3 democrats 1 republican and 1 Alliance man, so that the delegation on a vote Is democratic. Summing up, the democrats control the vote of 30 states the republicans of 12, the Alliance of 3; total 44. There are, then, 16 solid demo cratic delegations and 10 republican. The iC solid democratic delegations In clude a membership of 106 j the sclld re publican delegation a total membership of 15. The frightful disparity lies In the fact that of the 10 solid republican delegations 7 of them are mining camps, or republi can emergency states. Colorado, Idaho, Nevada, North Dakota, Oregon, Wash ington and Wyoming have 1 member each who Is a solid republican. By these states the republicans control the senate. There remain 3 solid states, of which 2, South Dakota and Vermont, have 3 members each, and the state of Maine, with Messrs. Reed, Boutelle, Dlngley and Milliken,has a solid delegation of 4. These latter were elected, It will be remembered, a few months before the popular uprising. The solid democratic states are big and sub stantial. Missouri alone has 14, almost as many as the entire force of the solid re publican commonwealths. The others are Alabama, S; Arkansas, 5; Georgia, 10; Louisiana, 6; Maryland, 6; Mississippi, 7; South Carolina, 7; Texas, 11 ; Virginia, 10; West Virginia, 4; besides such pickings as Florida, New Hampshire and Rhode Island, with 3 each, and 1 each from Del aware and Montana, where the republican spirit was willing, but the flesh was evi dently weak. In the 13 states where the democrats have majorities In the delegations there are In all 115 democrats and 47 republicans, a net democratic majority of 6S. In the 3 republican states there are 33 republicans and 13 democrats, a net majority of 10. Here again the democrats controls, with the exception of Pennsylvania, all of the large delegations. The states stand; Illi nois, 14 to 6; Indiana, 11 to 2; Kentucky, 10 to 1; Massachusetts, 7 to 5; Michigan, 8 to 3 j New York, 23 to 11; North Caro lina, 7 to 1 ; Ohio 14 to 7; Tennessee, 8 to 3; Wisconsin, 8 to ij Connecticut, 3 to 1 ; Iowa, 6 to 5, New Jersey, 3 to 3. The re publican delegations are Pennsylvania, 18 to 10, and California, 4 to 3. Of the re maining states there arc In Kansas 5 Alli ance men to 2 republicans, and in Ne braska 3 Alliance men to 1 democrat. Giving the Alliance these 2 states, while in Minnesota, as already slated, there being 3 democrats, I republican and I Alliance man, the control of the delegation is with the democarts. This 1 the way the house will stand: Democrats Solid delegations, 16; ma jority delegations, 14; total, 30. Republican Solid delegations, 10; ma jority delegations, 2; total, 12. Alliance Solid delegations, o; majori ty delegations, 2; total, 2. Cn a division by states on any question, therefsre, the democrats would carry the vote by 30 to 12, or a majority of 18. It is not out of the range of the possible that such a question may arise in the next house. That question would be the most Important In the history of this country. It wou'd be the question of the next presi dent of the United States. It seems al most certain that the Farmers' Alliance, or a section of that organization, will place a candidate for the presidency In the field Who that may be no one can guess. It certainly can' be Senator Stanford cf California If he wants It. Willi the present strength of the Alliance and Senator Stanford's enormous attributes for an en ergetic campaign, it Is not Impossible that the Alliance may win electoral votes enough not to elect Senator Stanford, but to prevent either the democratic or the re. publican candidate from obtaining a ma jority of the Electorial College. In that case the constitution, by article 12, pro vides that the election shall be thrown In to tne houss of representatives. Thai would mean the fifty-second congress, and the full Importance of the fact that demo crats control thirty delegations out of the forty-four, Is teen when It Is remembered that the constitution provides that the vote shall be taken by slates, and each state, no matter how small Its delegation, shall have one vote, to that if the Alliance should elect so many electors that neither the republicans nor the democrats could cast a majority vote of the entire college, the next president would be a democrat. On this vote nlllhc Stales would meet on a common level, lurithe 50,000 whiles, blacks half-bree.l, inongtcls, Chinese and Indians of the Nevada mining cfttni i mould be at powerful in tlectln-j a prcillcnt as tlie mill.. Ohio and Texas. Mrj Bartine of Nevada would be as big a man as Roswell P Flower and his thirty three colleagues. So big Is the democratic majoiity, even on the unit vote by statu, that they could elect the president, even if not a single republican was present . The constitution provides that there shall be present a quorum consisting of a member or members from two thirds of the states, so that with their Ihiity states the dem ocrats could legitimately elect 'he president without the attendance of a single republican. The deep interest which bath the democratic and the republican party take in the alliance entrance into the field of n itional politics can therefore be very easily understood. There is a French family in Biddeford, Me, which consists of husband, wife, and fourteen children, all young. The father works in the cotton-mills for very moderate wages; on ac count of the numerous family the mother has never been able to do any other than house work and it has only l-eea a few years since the oldest of the children were able to work Yet this large family has not only been reared upon the wages of the father, but today the mother, who has been the financier of the household, has $4000 in the bank. Mr Harrison must not think that he is do ing all the handshaking that is oeing r'one in this country. Mr Cleveland shook hands with 2,000 people at bis Buffalo receptiou. Tennyson is said to make $30,000 out of his poetry. He makes dollars out of it when ethers can't make sense. Beet Seed Free. Call at the Demo crat office and get some government beet seed free, for experiment. Vilmoin's Im proved, is the name of it. If this county can raise a fine sugar beet prolificly, it may mean eventually a good deal for it. Will farmers try ft and report as requested.
