ATHENS. Ohio, Sept. 20.-General
Grosvenor, who became famous as the
Mckinley mathematician in the cam
paign for the Republican nomination
in st. Louis, tonight gave out table
of estimates of the probable result OF
the Presidential election.
Il have been urged for several
weeks" he said, ito authorize the
publication OF a table Of estimates OF
the Presidential election, and | have
hesitated to do so because there was
more or less uncertainty in regard to
the result. Not that there has ever
been any uncertainty or doubt In the
intelligent mind as to who would be
elected, but following the st. Louis
convention and the nomination Of
BRYAN and Sewall by one faction Of
the Democratic party and the substan-
tial absorption of the Populist party
which succeeded that event, there was
some uncertainty as TO how several OF
the States would finally go, and this
condition of uncertainty has not yet
entirely disappeared, but the general
drift OF political events has reached a
point where I think l need not hesl-
tate to point out substantially how the
several States will 60.
The six New England States with
thirty-nine electoral votes, will 60 to
Mckinley, 50 make my table as fol-
lows:
New England 80

Total. ....... .2io
Here is total OF 27S votes, or fifty.
four more than sufficient to elect, all
of which are practically sure for Nc
kinley.
Il now come to some States which
are still in doubt but which under the
high tide OF Republican sIccess now
sweeping over the country will be al
most sure to vote large proportion
of them:
NauSaS. .....s .....''.. ~ ~

IOtal.. l.................. 80
Here are thirty five electoral votes,
from which Mckinley will surely re-
ceive enough to make good any acct
dent that may befall the total OF 21S
There is reasonable probability that
Mckinley will carry one or more OF
these States:
