Washington, D. c., April General
Grosvenor, the Mckinley manager here,
this evening gave out his customary an
nouncement Of Mckinley delegates
elect, He said:
THE last week has not been an inter
testing one so far as the actual election
Of delegates was concerned. Here is
the vote for Mckinley by states:
Alabama ..-..... q ONO '--.----.'....4 80
Arkansas ........16l Pennsylvania 80. 2

Minnesota .......1Sl Indian Territory. 9
Mississippi .....13l New MeXico...... 4
Missouri .........10l Oklahoma ........

New Jersey ...... 2 Total .......-2f0
New York 1900.
Il continue 10 count the unelected
delegates in Ohio and Indiana, which
reconciles the difference between the
New York Tribunes figures and mine
by the addition of twenty-four. My
claims in Texas, Oklahoma and South
Carolina differ from those of others
who are figuring. Mine will be right
absolutely under the actual result. The
present week will not be an interesting
one, so far as state conventions are con-
cerned, the only les to be held being
South Carolina, o egon and Rhode Is
land; but during IL remainder Of April
there will be at least IT'S delegates elect
ed for Mckinley, and May will see the
number Of Mckinley delegates easily
$50. There will be elected thereafter
i62 delegates, from which Mckinley will
recruit a large per cent of the reserve
whole business is the fact that these del
egates already elected in large part
come from states which will also fur
nish electoral votes to the Republican
ticket
There will be no put up jobbery per-
mftted al the st. Louis convention, ICON
tinued General Grosvenor, practically
in the way OF a packed committee on
credentials inimical to our candidate.
We know our rights, and knowing, dare
maintain them in the face Of any at
tempts at chicanery. 1t has been pub
hshed far and wide that every delega-
ton for Mckinley would find contest
ing delegations at st. Louis, and it mat
tered not which was the proper one to
be admitted, the credentials committee
would settle the question as they saw
1T. An inference was drawn that the
fitness would be against Mckinley. In
regard to such talk we propose to serve
notice upon any one who attempts TO
thwart the expressed wishes of the peo-
pie that such a proceeding will be
trife unhealthy, TO say the least of it.
From all over the United States there
comes a chorus from the laboring ele-
ment for Mckinley and protection, and
This cry viii not be unheeded. Workers
In textile factories in Philadelphia are
our last correspondents on this subject,
and they urge Us 10 stand firm for Nc
KinIey and not permit him to be thrown
down by any combination of politicians
or anybody else. What these work
men say in their letters is a fair sam
pie OF similar communications sent to
the Mckinley managers from all the
great industrial ceBters of this country,
north, south, east and west. These are
the people who will do the voting, and
they want TO cast their ballots for Nc
Kinley, feeling assured that in so doing
they will contribute to bring about an
era of prosperity and better times than
those which have marked the present
administration. 1t has come 10 a stage
now when bluffinS must cease, all of
which point to the nomination of Will
lam Mckinley for the presidency of the
United States"
