Wyoming Totals.. 88 THE act of 1891 provides that after March 3, 1893, the House of Representatives shall be composed of 356 members, to be apportioned as follows: Whenever a new State is admitted, Representatives assigned to it shall be in addition to the number 356. In each State entitled under this apportionment the number in the LIIId and each subsequent Congress shall be elected by districts composed of contiguous territory, and containing as nearly as practicable an equal number of inhabitants. These districts shall be equal to the number of Representatives to which the State may be entitled in Congress, no one district electing more than one Representative. In case of an increase in the number of Representatives from any State under this apportionment, such additional Representatives shall be elected by the State at large, and the other Representatives by the districts now prescribed by law until the Legislature shall redistrict such State, and if there be no increase in the number of Representatives from a State, the Representatives shall be elected from the districts now prescribed by law until such State be redistricted, as herein prescribed by the State Legislature. Alabama, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Georgia, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, Oregon and Wisconsin gained one Representative each: Illinois, Minnesota, Pennsylvania and Texas two each, and Nebraska three. The basis of representation for the last apportionment is found by dividing the total population of all the States by 356. Then by the quotient, which, from results of the Eleventh Census, is 173,901, the population of each State is divided. If the population be exactly divisible by that number, the answer will show how many members of Congress the State is entitled to; though no State can have less than one. As there is often a fraction left over after doing this sum in division, the total of all the answers will be something less than 356, as it happens 339. These seventeen Representatives are then allotted to the States having the largest fractions, one to each.
