PROSPECT VERY PLEASANT.
General Grosvenor is Very Confident of
McKinley's Chances.


Washington, April 26.-General Gros-
venor gave out tonight his regular
weekly statement of Mckinley votes.
AS usual he declines to make any fig
ures upon other peoples strength, con-
fining his figuring to a comparison be-
tween the Mckinley vote and the num-
ber necessary to choice 456 He also
declines to discuss the accuracy of the
tables of votes of any body and said to-
night;
Il rely with absolute confidence upon
ultimate results to vindicate my fig
ureS.''
McKinleys strength, as General
Grosvenor gives it, stands to-day at
444 He further states:
II do not nlace any votes in Con-
necticut or New Hampshire in the Nc
Kinley table at this time, although l
see that the New York Tribune gives
the names of three Connecticut dele
gates l prefer to leave those states
to make known their status when the
roll of the convention is called and |
may add in this same connection that
there are a considerable number of
delegates not classed as Mckinley men
in other states than Connecticut and
New Hampshire, who may be relied
upon to protect Mckinley from any
combination looking to his defeat.
Now, looking forward, the prospect
is very pleasant. There are about 200
delegates to be elected hereafter, as fol-
lows:
| Alabama a. Georgia 4, Illinois 12, Ver-
mont s, Arizona 6, California IS, Michi-
gan 26, Nevada g. West Virginia 8, Mon
tana 6, Missouri 16, Delaware 6, Colo
RADIO 8, Washington 8, Idaho 6. Wyom-
ing G. North Carolina 1s-total 166.
The balance are scattered by districts
over the entire country. 1t will be OBJ
served by a careful analysis Of these
votes yet to come that it is a modest
statement to claim that Mckinley will
have 125 of these. Thus 1t will be seen
that my statement that May would
see Mckinley within reach of ma
jority was not only not an exaggera
ton but has been verified by results
and will be conclusively demonstrated
by actual figures when the delegates
are elected"
Mr.. Manley of Maine gave out the
following tonight:
| Congressman Aldrich of Illinois left
for his state Saturday. He will attend
the state convention at Springfield on
Wednesday of this week. His state
ment of April 20, which was made upon
accurate and reliable information OBJ
tained from every state and territory.
where delegates had been elected, and
1 in many instances upon information
derived from the delegates themselves,
was based upon the election of 60t del
egates. OF this number Mr.. Reed was
! given 12S delegates, Governor McKin-
ley 214, doubtful Ga and all others 1856.
It gave Mr. Mckinley 35 1-2 per cent.
of the delegates elected. The state
ment was made with so much care and
accuracy that it can be relied upon
with the utmost confidence. / have
| taken Mr.. Aldrich's estimate as a basis
| for my statement of delegates elected
| UP to that date. adding those elected
from the goth to the 26th of April in
| elusive, and have classified them with
| the following results. 1T will be seen
! that there are many in the doubtful
column. These are in many instances
contested delegates and 1t does not seem
proper that, prior to the action of the
national committee, which has to act
| as a committee on credentials for the
| temporary roll, and prior to the action
of the credentials committee of the
| convention, any one has right to as
sumo what delegates will be seated in
the convention, and therefore / have
not presumed to claim how these dele
gates vote, but have placed them where
they belong.
"In no instance have I anticipated
the election of any delegates This
statement only relates to the delegates
actually elected. Out of $50 delegates
| thus far chosen in the block of states
north of the Potomac and east of Ohio
"a block of states containing a great
proportion of the manufacturing and
commercial interests of the country
| Governor Mckinley has secured only
| nine votes Governor McKinley's per-
| centage of the delegates elected re-
