1000 strong, from Cleveland. 1t was a
stirring scene in the grey Of the morn

marked fluctuations after midnight. But
in any view Of the situation the feeling
about the Mckinley home was that the

members of the local reception committee
were on hand to keep out visit
ing oeleg atoms till later in the day. a
curious crowd filled the sidewalks and
streets about the home but no visitors
were admitted.

majority of 1850, an increase OF 1,500

conviction among Major McKinley's
close associates that 2S9 electoral votes
were assured beyond. preadventure; As
more were regarded as probable for Nc

detail and showing total Of 1857 900 as |
Mckiney's plurality in twenty-seven |
states. He added: The electoral vote of |
Mckinney and Hobart will be somewhere |
between 2S9 and 354, leaving to Bryan |
and Sewall not more than 90 to u.s. In |
my confident judgement Mckinley and |
Hobart viii receive nearly if not quite |
a,5OO,00O plurality Of the popular vote.
