This tea been a record-breaking cam
paign la many ways, but in none wtll K
p.ove to he more so than in it* finat re
sult It ts going to smash into smuher
eens the high-water marks of past elec
tion figure*. It is no news to say that
McKinley Is going to be elected. It may
b* news, however, to hear at trtis time
that he will not get l«es than Chairman
Uanne'e claim of W2 out of 447 electoral
votes, and that behind those vote* wilt be
marshaled by far the largest majority that
any presidential candidate ever had over
another, and a bouse of representatives
overwhelmingly favorable to the policies
to which the new preeident is committed.
A popular majority baa not gone with an
electoral majority since Grant pohed «©.-
(M more vote* thaa Greeley in 1172, and
had K.H per cent, of the total, though
Sea had SOW per cent, of It in 1««
against HM for Hayes. Lincoln. In IMC.
sacured oaly *-91 per cent, of the entire
vote cast in the country, and in neither
of his three campaigns has Cleveland bad
ciicrs than a plurality over Harrison and
Blaine.
The only presidents who ever received a
majority of the popular vote are Andrew
Jackson. Martin Van Buren. William
Henry Harrison. Franklin Fierce. lancoin
(in I*4) and Grant. All of the others
since ÜBI, when ths first full vote of the
statee wis takeu, have failed, Harrison in
ICH and Hayes In lOTC falling short even of
a plurality. McKinley'* majority in the
electoral college being assured. It will be
interesting to learn how much more deep
ly he la to bury free sllvertam in the pop
ular vote. After looking over the voting
strength of some of the states that he will
carry I believe 'McKinley will get nearly a
two-third* vote throughout the country,for
apren where he will lose statee in the South
MM popular vote is going to be close to
that of Bryan. The popular vote has in
creased st the rste of a&out 750.W0 every
four years, and In 1593 It reached 12.110,<>®>.
It ts well known, though.'that In that year
many Republicans refused to go to the
polls, and It ean easily be assumed there
fore that about l&JOO.MO votes will be cast
next month. Sixty per cent, of that would
give McKinley 7.100.000 of these, with
4.5 M.OOO for Bryan and the remaining 96,000
distributed between Palmer and Buckner
and the ProhlWtloßtsts. These figures
may seem extravagant, but it is to be re
membered that the two atates of New
York and Pennsylvania will alone, con
trlbuie half a million majority for McKin
ley. and there will come out of New Eng
land such Republican figures as were nev
er seen before. Geography, however, in
my opinion, will not mark the lines of
MfKinley's great vote It will com* from
the South as from the North, and I be
lieve, too. that It will come from the
West. Twenty-four year* have elapsed
since suoh a vote as Grant's was polled
ever Greeley, but more than that many
year* are likely to pass before the equal
of the McKinley figures wtll be reached
by other candidates.
A glance at the popular vote of some
recent presidential elections may be of in
terest In this connection, and I have dug
out the official figures as far back as 1872:
