WASHINGTON, March 25-Joseph Ii.
alanley, Of Maine, who is managing
Speaker Reeds campaign for the re-
publican presidential nomination, sent
the following to Gov Cleaves, Of
Maine, last night:
Ny Dear Governor; Including elections held
to-day, there HAYS been but S75 delegates
eleessd TO the republican national convention.
There are 30 contested cases, which are not
given to any candidate, because it Is unfair to
sssume that these cases will be decided either
Sy tue national committee or the convention.
% the a5 delegates elected, l5i are for McKin.
Icy, provided you conCede him 20 from Indiana
ana 10 from Minnesota. The rest are divided
as follows: Morton, o.: Quay, 19 Cuflom, i0
Allison, A; Reed, 4s. Mr. Reed will gain from
now on until the convention. Yours truly, J.
H. MsHley
Tiers was more earnest comforting
yesterday BY the friends OF Reed and
Allison. The withdrawal of Cushman
K. Davis, made necessary by the Nc.
Klnley capture Of the Minnesota con-
ysntion, was a severe blow to the
other candidates. It caused much ex-
element Friends of Allison and Reed
express the fear that Senator Cullom
would be forced to take similar action
just before the Illinois convention
meets The Mckinley men are conf
IDENTIFY claiming that if Senator Cullom
did not withdraw they would elect
toue delegates-at-large iu spite of him.
Mr.. Reed, il conversation with
friends, admitted that Mckinley was
obtaining much more strength IL the
north than he had expected, but he
said the situation In the south had
been mlsreprsssnted in the dispatches,
and Mckinley had not the votes there
which were being claimed for him. A
very close alliance is growing between
Reed and Allison, as the result of
these recent evidences of McKinley's
strength.
Geo. Harrison Is Wanted
New YORK, March ga Sun special
from Indianapolis says: Close friends
of Gen. Harrison say that the prOba-
bIlisy Of the nomination Of Mckinley
al the st. Louis convention has caused
republicans throughout the country
to food the ex-president with letters
urging the sx-president to reconsider
his determination uand consent to
be candidate for the presidential
domination. Some of the writers ap.
peal to him from patriotic motives,
saying it is his duty to save the party
from the Mckinley nomination and
the campaign bitterness that would
surely follow, owing to the fact that
he is regarded as the personiicatiOn Of
the extreme idea of protection.
Room for All MCKINLEY Clubs.

Gaitree, OF Columbus, O., vice presi-
