Upon the above classification, the Re-
publicans will need but . more votes
to elect, the Democrats will need 48.
There are II electoral votes classified
as doubtful, Michigan being included in
them, because under the new law in
that State, which provides for the cleo
ton OF Presidential electors by Con-
gressional districts instead Of on q gen
eral ticket as in other States, her vote
will necessarily be divided. The most
probable division is Republicans and g
Democratic electors. The doubtful list
Is as follows

votes out of the above? Even should
they carry New York, its SO votes would
not be enough II would require Indi-
ana in addition; or Michigan's 6 Demo
cratic votes, plus North Dakota and
Montana. New York and Michigan's 6
votes would leave Cleveland votes
short Of an election.
On the other hand, should the Repub-
'licans carry New York and Indiana,
they would elect, with 26 votes to spare.
With New York a.one, they would elect
with IL votes to spare. Should they
carry New York and Indiana, they could
lose either Illinois or Wisconsin, and
still elect. They can elect by carrying
Indiana and Mon ana, with Michigan's
votes, even IL the Democrats carry
New York. TO sum up, the Republicans
have at least an equal chance with the
Democrats of carrying both Indiana
and New York. They can elect without
New York, and the Democrats cannot.
But how about the Peoples party?
It's leaders are making great claims, but
we cannot see that they are we'll founded.
The one Republican STAG they claim
most persistently is Kansas, because OF
their fusion with the Democrats there.
But II the Republicans carry no doubt
full State but New York, they can lose
Kansas and still elect Harrison by one
vote. But there is just as great posi-
bility of the Peoples party carrying
Alabama az there is of their carrying
Kansas; and this would deduct III votes
from the Cleveland column In short,
II is difficult to study the electoral vote
and come to any conclusion other than
that Cleveland is doomed TO defeat
Toledo Blade.
