WHAT M,KrNLEY HAS NOW
Grosvenor Says il is Hardly Necessary
Figure ANY More.

Figure Any More.
washington, D. c., May 11.-General
Grosvenor and Representative Aldrlch
sgain furnish the public with informa-
ION about the st. Louis convention.
The weekly announcement this time
On the part of the the latter takes on the
form of generalities. INDUCING in that
sort Of thing more than IL handles hg-
ures.
General Grosvenor, while handling ns
ures as usual, digresses TO some extent
n the direction of debate fof his side
of the question
The situa ton is still attended with m
terest, despite the fact that il is gener-
ally believed by public men here that
Mckinley will get the nomination. The
conduct of the Quay and Allison and
Piatt managers is looked upon as per-
picking. They still appear TO be IN
concerned and positive that something
Is going 10 happen 10 take the nomina-
ton away from Mckinley. No one
can see how it is going 10 be done, but
At the same time the managers Of Nc
Kinley are very much interested IN the
work of the opposition.
General Grosvenor says:
81 do not deem it vitality important to
has knowledge enough to be significant,
ana candor enough TO be manly, knows
that this is over, and no earthly power
can prevent the nomination of McKin-
icy on the first ballot.
II still insist upon placing in my
table the men who have been elected
beyond any reasonable doubt, and who
ale either instructed, pledged or known
to be supporters OF Mckinley. If l
should doubt the integrity of men who
al accepted elections as national dele
gates with instructions attched to their
eections, the public would infer that
had knowledge that there were scoun-
1Iels elected as delegates, or that long
contact with vicious men IN politics had
polluted my mind to such IN extent
:hat I believed other men were dishon-
est. I count the votes Of certain dela-
gates whose seats are 20 be contested,
aid I do il upon the assumption that
the national committee will place their
names upon the temporary roll, because
| believe that the national committee,
independent of whom they may support,
foi the nOInina ton, are honest, honor
able, upright men, and so fer as l know,
this designations applies with equal pro-
priety to all Of the national commit
tee.
81 do not assume that that great COM
mittee, representing all of the Republic
cans of the United States viii do any
tn4ng that is not absolutely fair, and -
l were to boast that, in the face of
Triumphant majority, that committee
would defeat or elect any candidate, I
would lay myself open to the charge n
once that was insinuating against the
honor and integrity of the national com
mittee, or that believed had power TO
Corrupt enough members of that COM
mittee to turn aside the will of the Re-
puJiicans of this country.
In this connection, it may be stated
that there is great interest being taken
by the masses of the Republican party
CT the country in the nomination "
president this year; more so than has
ever been taken by the people since 1
have known anything about politics,
and the power of public opinion that has
crushed combination and Inundated
bosses and marched in triumph over the
great body of the states is abundantly
capable Of realizing the fruit OF the vie
tories ii has won
The delegates in Ohio and Indiana
ale now all elected and therefore need
net explain that l am including votes
not yet actually chosen:
The vote TODAY stands as follows.
