Washington, April 26.-Mr. Manley,
of Maine. gave out the following state
ment this evening:
Congressman Aldrich, of Illinois,
left for his state Saturday. He will
attend the state convention at SPRING
field on Wednesday of this week. His
statement Of April 90, which was
made upon accurate and reliable in
formation obtained from every state
and territory where delegates had been
elected, and in many instances upon in
formation derived from the delegates
themselves. was based upon the cleo
ton of 604 delegates. OF this number
Mr.. Reed was given 12S delegates,
Governor Mckinley PA, doubtful Ga,
and all Others 1856 1t gave Mr.. McKin-
ley S5ia per cent. cf the delegates
elected. The statement was made with
so much care and accuracy that it can
he relied upon with the utmost conf
dence
II have taken Mr.. Aldrichs estimate
as basis for my statement of dele
gates elected uD to that date, adding
those elected from the Goth to the 18th
of April. inclusive. and have classified
them with the following results. 1t
will be seen that there are many dele
gates placed in the doubtful column.
There are many instances of contested
delegates, and it does not seem proper
that prior to the action of the national
committee. which has to act as a COM
mittee on credentials for the tenn
porary roll of the convention. and prior
to the action of the credentials COM
mittee of the convention, that any one
has right to assume that delegates
will be seated in the convention and,
therefore. l have not presumed to
claim how these delegates would vote,
but have preferred to place them where
they belong, in the doubtful column.
In no instance have l Anticipated the
election of any delegates-this state
ment only relates to the delegates ac-
tually elected.
