steadily Increase.

WASHINGTON, d. c., March "a
]. II. Manley. OF Maine. secretary OF the
National Republican Committee. has ad-
dressed a letter to the Governor Of
Maine, IN connection with the claims
that Governor Mckinley, Of Ohio, has
already secured majority Of the dele
gates 10 the ST. Louis convention, in
which Mr. Manley says:
Including elections held to-day, there
have been 375 delegates elected 10 the
National Republican Convention. There
are thirty-six contested cases, which are
not given to any candidate, because Il
is unfair TO assume how these eases Will
be decided, either by the national com
mittee or the convention.
"Of the 375 delegates elected, l5i are
for Mckinley. provided you concede TO
him the rs from Indiana, and the Is IRON
Minnesota.
"Sixty-four delegates have been elected
for Governor Morton.
Nineteen for Senator Quay
"Ten for Senator Cullom.
"Forty-four for Senator Allison, and
"Forty-eight for Mr.. Reed.
