Figuring On The Result. As the general election approaches people who like that sort of thing are figuring on the result. Here are some figures showing how the Democrats may win.

Total ........ ...26 The New York Sun, which papor is supporting the Republican icket figures it out as follows if the elec tion were to come now: We arrive at the conclusion in this way: Of the 239 electoral votes needed for a majority it is admitted by candid opponents that Mr. Roose velt is virtually sure of 204. These are the electoral votes of California, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming, North Dakota, South Dakota Minne sota, Nebraska, Kansas and Iowa west of the Mississippi River; of Michi-'j gan, Illinois and Ohio in the Middle West, and of Pennsylvaina. Massa chusetts. Rhode Island. Vermont, New Hampshire 'and Maine. Judge Parker is equally, and,'indeed, more, certain to secure the 151 electoral votes belonging to Alabama, Arkan sas, Florida. Georgia. Kentucky. Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North 'Carolina, South Carolina, Ten nessee, Texas and Virginia. The thirteen States which are classed by Democrats as doubtful, and which have collectively 121 electoral votes, are Colorado. Idaho, Montana, Neva da and Utah ir: the trans-Mississippi regon; Wisconsin and Indiana in the Middle West, and West Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, New Jersey, New York and Connecticut. Of these States, however, Wiscon sin must now be placed in the Repub lican list, inasrauch as the State Supreme Court has decided that the namnes of the Roosevelt Presidential electo'rs shall bce put in the 'La Fol lette column orn the official ballot. WVe'have since~ been told that the so-' called "Stalwar :s" have decided to withdraw the r State ticket, thus extinguishing tl"e Democratic hope of carrying Wisconsin. The same thing must be said of Delaware, now that the Add:cks and "Regular" Re publicans have agreed on a StateI ticket. We must therefore add six teen electoral votes to the 204 already assigned to M'~r. Roosevelt. He ap pears to be equally sure of the three elecoral votes of Utah, inasmuch as it seems to be settled that the Repub lican electors in that State will be backed by the almost irresistible in fluence of the Mormon Church. That he will also have the seven electoral votes of Connecticut is seldom in confidential conversation dispute'd by any Democrat conversant with the political conditions in that State, where the Republicans have a more effcint machine than they ever for WHEN YOI You can save a few Long run, or goodse always know it until Mr. "EARLY BIRDS" v Quatti merly possessed. while their oppo nents are notoriously unorganized. The recent town elections are re garded as proving that no material change has taken place in Connecti cut since 1902, when the Republican candidate for Governor had a plu rality of some 16,ooo. We are there fore justified in awarding the seven electoral votes of Connecticut to Mr. Roosevelt, giving him 230. The nine still needed for Republi can success can be secured in New Jersey (12), or in Indiana (15), or in West Virginia and either Colorado or Idaho. He is believed by Repub licans to have a much better chance than has his Democratic opponent of carrying New Jersey, Indiana and West Virginia, and an equal chance of carrying Colorado and Idaho, We may probably take for granted that the electoral votes of Maryland (8), those of Montana (3) and those ker. These, added to the 151 votes of the solid South, would, of course, give him 165, and if. for the sake of argument, we should also concede to him New York (39), he would have a total of 204 electroal votes. We conclude, then, that if the voters should go to the ballot box to-morrow Theodore Roosevelt would at the very least obtain a ma jority of 72 in the electoral colleges. udge Parker, however, could console himself with the reflection that he had done better by 28 electoral votes than Mr. Bryan did in 1896, and bet of Nevada (3) will go to Judge Par ter by 49 than Mr. Bryan did four years ago. Should he, on the other and, lose New York, he would al ost certainly fall short of the figure attained by Mr. Bryan in 1896, in which event it will prove extremely difficult for the conservative element f the Democracy to control its next ational convention. WVe give these two estimates for the instruction and amusement of our readers who like to deal with figures and who are pleased to guess at the result of electiorns. NOTICE.
