The Mai w the Vette.
As nearly as can be estimated from
tbc returns, Nebraska cast 187,000
vote in the last election, la the
Garfield campaign oar vote was S7,
356. Four year lat.r it was 134,
204. The present vote therefore
shows a gain of 100,000 voters over
1880, and of 53,000 over 1884.
The comparison of the votes with
the inhabitant at the time the votes
were ca.it is interesting as indicating
the probable present papulation of
Nebraska and its past and future rate
of increase. By the national census
taken in the spring of 1880, Nebraska
had 452,402 inhabitant;. Six months
later on the basis of 5 citizens to the
voter our population had reached
480,452, a conservative estimate of
increase. Taking the same ratio of
increase and applying it to the vote
of 1834, which was 134,204, we ob
tain 749,127 as the population of the
state, which falls nearly two thous
and below the figures given by the
state cen&ud of 1S85. The ratio of
5J inhabitants to the VDter may there
fore be taken as a conservative basis
upon which to found estimates of
population in years when a full vote
is oiled out in this state.
Applying this ratio to the figures
of the late election we have at the
present time. 1,023.500 inhabitants in
the state. This is an increase of very
nearly 300,000 iu four years, an in
crement of 40 per cent, or nearly ten
per cent annually during that period.
At this ratio the population of the
state considerably more than doubles
every ten years, and in 1S90, the
next census year, we shall have fully
1,150,000 inhabitants.
Nebraska's congressional represen
tation in the Fifty-second congress
will be based upsn her population
as shown by the population of 1890.
Under the present congressional ap
portionment of 151,912 inhabitants
to each representative as applied to
the census of 1S80, wc arc only en
titled to three congressmen. Two
years hence, even with the basis of
representation raised to 175,000 in
habitants to the voter, we hhall double
our congressional delegation and pro
portionately increase our importance
as a factor in national legislation.
It is interesting to note that Oma
ha has maintained her position rela
tive to the state at large. At the late
election she cast one-tenth of the en
tire vote. Douglas county polled
nearly one-ninth of all the ballots de
posited in Nebraska. If the state
doubles in the next ten years, as may
be reasonably expected, Omaha will
have more than 200,000 population
befcre 1900 strikes the death knell to
the present century. Omaha Bee.
