many votes in the more pretemtlous who were anxious to array themselves on the strong side.
 The next state election this year IS that of Louisiana, which votes on April 21. The result there will be awaited with some interest as indicating what inroads the fusion party, composed of revoIting DLemocrats, Republicans and Populists, are making in the reg ular and heretofore strong Democratic organization. The returns from that state will be of little value as fore shadowing the attitude of the southern states on the silver question. The election in. Alabama on August 3, may be more significant as to this issue The other states voting this year be- fore November for state officers are: Vermont, September 1; Arkansas, Sep tember z; Maine, September, IA; Flor ida. October 6; Georgia, October z. The verdict in these states as be .ween the Democratic and Republican parties can be confidently predicted in each case and the returns from neither of them will affect the great battle in November.

M'K1NLEY STILL CANNING.

There have now been elected 496 delegates ito the Republican National convention, about forty more than the quorum necessary to nominate. Last weeks elections show, according to conservative estimates, a slight rela- tive gain in McKinleys strength.
 General Grosvenor in his weekly an nouncement claims 315 out of the 496 delegates for lthe Ohio candidate. Nc Kinley's opponents entirely discredit that claim. The New York corres- pondent of the St. Louis Republic gives Mckinley 256. or nearly fifty+two per cent of the votes, a gain of one per cent in the week.
 The same authority assigns the re- mainder of the votes thus: Reed, 82; Morton, 66; Allison, 37; Quay, 26; Gull lem, I2; Bradley, 2,-with fifteen votes in doubt. Grosvenor predicts that be- fore May 1 Mckinley will have a ma jority of the entire delegates.
