On the basis of the last census there is one representative to every 173,900 inhabitants. The popular vote for President in 1896 was about 14,000,000, or nearly one in five of the entire population. In 1890 there were in the United States 16,940,- 311 males of voting age — 21 years and over, including un- naturalized foreigners.

The next apportionment will be based upon the Federal census of 1900, the results of which census will be reported to the Congress assembling the first Monday in December of that year, the Congress passing an apportionment act providing the requisite number of representatives from each State, and noti- fying the respective States of this action. Each State will then rearrange its congressional districts for the next election, which will take place in November, 1902, and the apportion- ment then established in accordance with the next enumeration will hold for ten years. The apportionment at the various censuses has been as follows :
