M'KINLEY'S ELECTION SURE.
The Next Congress Will Also
 Be Republican.
A Reliable Canvass of the Entire Country Shows Certain Defeat for 'Bryan-Laree Mckinley Gains Noted Everywhere.

 canvass of the political situation in the United States has been going on for some time iby the New York Herald, and its consummation indicates growing sentiment for the gold stand ard, and the election of Major McK1n- ley and a Republican congress. This conclusion has been determined by giving the states of Connecticut, Dela- ware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan New Hampshire, New York, New Jer- sey, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin to the candidate of the Re- publican party These states will give Mckinley PAS votes. William J. Bryan, it is conceded, will carry Alabama, Ar kansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, South Carolina, Ten nessee, Texas, Utah and Virginia. These states will give the candidate of the Democratic party 134 votes.
 The doubtful states are California, Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington and Wyoming. These represent siXty-fve votes. Were MT. Bryan to secure every one of these doubtful states MT. Mckinley would be still elected by a handsome and sig nifcant majority.
 To ascertain the political color of the next congress, The Herald also made a canvass of every congressional district in the country and is able, therefore, to predict that majority vote of the Fifty-fifth congress will be for sound money and for the principles of the St. Louis platform. The number of Republicans who will take the oath at the beginning of the next session will be PA, Democrats 127, and Popu- lists, 6. These totals may be classi- fled into these proportions: For sound money, 215 votes; for free silver, 142 votes.
 The silver men have majority in the senate according to the vote taken in February on the sDingley bond bill, which stood forty-two in favor of the free silver substitute to thirty-five votes in opposition to it. The Herald, however, says that the financial com pleXion of the senate will also be anti free silver. The fIeralds poll is as fol- lows: Republican holdovers, twenty seven; Republicans already elected, four; Republican states which will cer- tainly elect Republican senators, seven; sound money Democratic followers, six; sound money senator from Ken lucky, one; Republicans from states still debatable, three. Total, forty eight. Total number of senators, ninety.
 A majority in the assembly in New York state is also assured, and Thomas C. Platt will probably succeed David B. Hill in the United States senate The Democrats concede New Jersey for Nc Kinley by 30,000, and Connecticut will give the Republican National ticket a majority of 30,000.
 Five Republicans and two Democrats will be the result in California, ac- Aording to this canvass Indications point to a larger vote for Bryan in that state than for the state DemQcratit ticket. The Republicans will have one representative in congress from Texas breaking the solid Democratic from presented by that state for years past
 This canvass was carried on strictly in an impartial manner, which gives il great value in predicting the outcome of the great battle at the polls mex Tuesday.
