cording to Representative Aldrich, One

Washington, April 19.-The weekly
bulletin furnished by Representative
Aldrich of Illinois, giving the results of
THE republican canvass from the stand
point of friends of Mr.. Reed issued
tonight, is as follows:
The developments of the past week in
the republican contest have resulted IN
material change in the relative stand
ling of the leading candidates, notwith-
'standing the prediction made by Cen
eral Grosvenor seven days ago that
during the coming week McKinley's
strength will grow rapidly by the con-
'ventions in Kentucky. Nebraska and
New Jersey" OF the twenty votes con-

lucky Governor Bradley has captured
9sixteen, and the failure to instruct Tor
Mckinley the fourteen delegates elect
ed from New Jersey was significant
disappointment. My last statement
gave Mr. Reed Ill delegates, to Mr..
Mckinley 1863, to all the other candi-
dates 1856 and 4S doubtful.
In that table I credited Mr.. Reed
with two uninstructed delegates, which
upon later information I deem 1t fair to
'place in the doubtful column. With
this exception my figures Of last week
|cannot be seriously disputed. The fig
lures herewith presented have been
lcarefully compiled from reports receiv-
led from day to day and verified by re-
2plies received from kilograms sent to
various states yesterday. / have plac-
led sixteen additional delegates in the
doubtful column, II of which are from
!New Jersey. OF the 604 delegates elect
led to date Mckinley has just about
ls51a per cent.
