The foregoing estimate cannot be
said to be partial to Major Mckinley.
1t should be added that friends of the

But if the figures be considered just
as they are every student of politics
viii be at once impressed by the strong
probability of Major McKinley's sue
cess which they signify. If he goes
into the convention with 3S3 votes on
the first ballot, ne will lack only sixty
nine of a majority. How can he be
prevented getting the required num-
Der? Where is the man who can COM
bine the field against him? In the first
place it must be remembered the Nc

Il Is a favOrite saying that the leader
in q convention is never nominated.
But this is not true. Mr.. Blaine led
in the convention Of 1854 and despite
the positive antagonisms which he had
to encounter easily carried the day. Be
tween Mr.. Blaine's situation al that
time and Major McKinley's at this
time there are many points Of similar

candidate. so : Major Mckinley. Mr.
Blaine was within seventy OF eighty
votes OF success on the first ballot and
if the foregoing figures are approx

has no such powerful force 10 contend
against as that of President Arthur
and his administration. Nor has he 10
face the question Of inexpediency, as
Mr Blaine had to face il, for in the
Chicago convention of 1884 there were
heard the sinister rumblings or the
mugwump upheaval. threatening de-
feat and afterward comprising II.
In the opinion of many of the shrew-
dest observers in Washington the final
contest in the St. Louis convention will
come between Major Mckinley and
Senator Allison. For some time II has
been whispered in the higher political
circles that the Iowa senator IS uli-
mately TO take the place OF Speaker
Reed as the OhiOan's chief rival SO
far as the politicians are concerned
the cards have been running toward
Senator Allison for some time. He is
today in better touch with the strong
men of his party than Mr.. Reed is,
though the chances are that Mr.. Reed
will have many more votes on the first
ballot.
1t is too early for anyone 10 predict
that Mr.. Mckinley is to be the nomi-
nee Many changes may come in the
situation between now and june. But
at the present time ne looks every bit
as much a winner as Mr.. Blaine did
at a corresponding date in 1884.
