Oiiicial Electorial Vote.
The“ vste for President and Wes
President in the various Electoral Col-
leges of the States is now officially an-
nounced. For President, Mr. Mc-
Kinley received 271 electorial votes and
Mr. Bryan 176. For Vice President,
Mr. Hobart received 171, Mr. Sewall
151 and Mr. Watson 25.
Mr. Watson was not given the full
He re-
ceived three out of the eight in Arkan-
sas,,,four out of the eight in Louisiana,
four out ot the seventeen in Missouri,
one of- the three in Montana, four out of
the eight in Nebraska, five out of the
eleven in North Carolina, one of the
three in Utah, two of the four in Wash-
. ington and one of the three in Wyo-
ming. The electoral vote of two States
wasdivided on President by .the acci-
dentalelection in each of one of the
minority candidates for elector. Cali-
fornia voted eight for McKinley and
‘ one for Bryan, and Kentucky voted
twelve for McKinley and one for
Bryan. I
Since the organization of the Repub-
lican party in 1856, it has elected and
Isa-elected Lincoln, elected and re-
elected Grant and elected Hayes, Gar-
field, Harrison and McKinley. The
Democrats elected Buchanan in 1856,
but have elected only one man as
President since that contest. Grover
Cleveland receiveda majJrity of the
electoral vote in 1834 and again in 1892,
and was defeated in 1888 by Harrison.
It is notable that Tilden received
250,000 popular majority in 1876,
although defeated in the electoral vote
by one majority, and that Cleveland re-
solved a majority of some 30,000 of the '
popular vote in 1834, and nearly 100.-
000 popular majdrity in 1888, when he
was defeated in the electoral colleges,
and he also received a popular majority
of nearly 400,000 in 1892. The largest
popular majority ever given to any
candidate for President, with the single
exception of Grant in the Greeley
fiasco of 1872, was given to McKinley at
the last election.
Senator Platt to Succeed Himself.
Of United States Senator Orville H.
Platr, who to-day, at Hartford. is re-
elected to succeed himself, the able,
honest and fearless Colonel Osborn,
Editor of the democratic New Haven
Register, has this to say, in his Sunday
letter to the New York Herald:‘—-
“Senator O. H. Platt, Connecticut’s
senior representative in the upper
branch of.Cougress, indeed dwells ser-
enely and securely in the affections of
his party in this State when it rises up
as one man and says to him. ‘Well
done, good and faithful servant,’ go on
with thy labors. It is a compliment not
usual in these days, when the ambitious
would slay with the weapons known to ~
practical politics, without waiting for
dead men’s shoes.
The speeches which were made in the
legislative caucus, and which resulted
in his nomination by acclamation, do
notgfwe a stranger an adequate picture
of him., Judge Roraback likened him
to Sherman and Qaay, ‘peers of the
Senate,‘ and Joe Barbour revived the
familiar comparison of Platt to the
As a matter of fact
Elatt possesses neither the intellectual
timidity of Sherman, the political
sagacity of me, nor the philosophy
of Lincoln.
He isa more courageous man than
his Ohio colleague, and a cleaner man
nr»iii-ically, than the member from
Bimnsylvania. His' resemblance to
Lincoln isa purely physical one. He
i-tcli and gaunt. homespun in every
lmeament of his face, and awkward.
He is not as shrewd as Lincoln was, for
he does not possess Lincoln’s powerful
sense of humor. Like Lincoln, how-
ever, he is free from cant and humbug.
Taking him alland all, and not leav-
ing out his intense partisanship, for he
isxa partisan~to the backbone, Senator
Platt is~an industrious, conscientious
man, who has grown very useful to his
State and his country,,through nearly
twenty years of service, and who enjoys
the respect of his fellow citizens. His
dominant quality is his hard common
sense, which is furthur strengthened
by more sentiment «than he is given
credit for. He is neither brillant,
imaginative nor magnetic.

citizenship, which is something more

He is a.
strongly resembles his warm and life-
long personal friend and predecessor

ceit, as unselfish, and honest, as was
the late lovable Ferry. God blesses
them.

Plain Truths From a Well‘ltnown Rall-
road Man.
Don’t come out after every cold wave
cold.”
Mr, Leander Fisher of the N. E. R.
R. used to, but now “its different.” He
say 6:
"I have suffered with the most per-
sistent and troublesome forms of nasal
catarrh for many years and have been
extremely susceptible to severe colds
in the head, especially immediately
after getting rid of a previous cold. I
thus had a continuous cold. During a
recent cold I used California Catarrh
Cure, and it not only enabled me to
throw off that cold quickly, but kept
me from contracting another; and, more
than all, so benefitted my catarrh that
I have not had a trace of the disease
since the first seven or eight applica-
tions. ”
The patient had catarrh 1n the head
He caught cold after cold, The disease
spread down his throat. He began to
inhale the disease banishing medica-
tion, California CatarrhCure. It bathed
the membranes of his head and threat.
The soreness of the head and throat
bacame less and the desire to hawk
and spit began to disappear. But per-
haps best of all, he cured chronic
catarrh by preventing the constant
succession of colds, which continually
aggravated the disease, made it more
painful and tended to set more firmly
upon the sufferer. California Catarrh
Care will do for all cases what it dld
for Mr. Fisher; it breaks up the worst
colds, prevents more colds and cures
the worst forms of chronic catarrh.
California Catarrh Cure 1s sold at R.
