CHAIRMAN MCORD'S STATEMENT

The following letter written by Chairman McCord of the Republican county central committee, to MT. A. P. Snowman, editor of the Mesa Free Press, clearly explains the Republican situation in Mar,copa county and the attitude of the bolters towards the reg ular party organization. and will therefore be read by Republicans with interest:
 PHOENIX, Ariz., April 3, 1896.
 "Mr. A. P. Snowman, Mesa, Ariz., Dear Sir: Your communication saying the Republican people of Mesa and vicinity desire my opinion as to which of the two county conventions called are regular was duly received. I have also received many other similar in quir;es
 Judged fairly by the rules, prece- dents and practice, upon such ques- +tions, I answer without hesitation or equivocation the first one called, the one to be held on the 18th inst.
 What are the facts? The chairman of the county central committee on the 20th of March mailed to each member of Ibhe committee a notice that the committee would meet March 25 at 2 o'clock p. m. for the purpose of call ing a county convention. At the ap- pointed time the committee met, forty of the forty-tWo members being pres ent either in person Or by proxy. A resolution was adopted. by a vote of 15 to 25. appointing a committee to make a call. At the time that resolution was passed every member of the com mittee named were members of the committee either by proxy or other wise. The next day, March 26, the chairman of that committee mailed a letter to each member informing him that on the next day, March 27, the committee would meet to perform the duty assigned to it by the whole com mittee.
 1.-The committee met pursuant ito that notice, every member being present. It proceeded to formulate the call, which was signed by the regular chairman and regular secretary and published the next day, March 2S. This committee in no manner exceeded the authority given it by the resolution therefore consider its acts regular and binding upon the party.
 'It is evident, however, that tihe ac- tions of this committee did not satisfy all the members of our party, for a movement was Immediately set on foot to call another meeting of the committee and another convention. At first thought as chairman, it was my i duty ito do that; but upon investigation came to the conclusion it was not. If it had been a close question should have given the benefit of the doubt to those gentlemen who thought the first call unfair to the country precincts; but did not think so, besides I very soon became convinced that it was simply scheme to send a delegation to St. Louis who would be for Allison, Reed, Morton, Quay or anybody ito beat Mckinley, a delegation that would be opposed ito the free coinage of sil- yer and in favor of the single gold standard, as all the Reed, Morton, Allison conventions that have been held so far have declared for, and which is most plainly expressed by

M'KINLEY A WINNER.

Last week the opponents of Major Mckinley expected to see a change in the contest for presidential delegates, and they predicted that he would be- gin to fall off in the number of his weekly acquisitions, but they were
Arizona republican., 1896-04-05

mistaken. For the information of readers of The Republican we give a table showing sthep resent s5atus of the contest. The table is as follows:

Already the bolters are sick of their job and it is not likely they will make any pretense of opposing the regular organization.

Total .2O2 50 34 35 19 2S
 By referring to the foregoing table l our readers will discover that of the three hundred and siNty-six delegates chosen Major Mckinley has POP or a I majority of s.Xty-six over all of the other candidates. Since a table of this kind was compiled a week ago last Saturday the net result is that McKin- ley has gained fl, Morton 22, Reed ', Quay 5, and Allison ?, which shows Mckinley to have five more than all of his opponents combined There are twenty-eight votes unknown and sixty six that are contested. Of the latter 2S are for Mckinley, 20 for Morton, 4 for Reed, for Allison and 4 unknown
 Thus it will be seen that Mckinley is gaining every week and that he continues to hold his own against the entire field with a handsome majority to fall back on. The foregoing table was compiled on Friday evening and does not give but four distinct votes in Massachusetts, for Reed. The vote of that state in full will appear fin the table for the coming week. This table is admitted to be correct by Mckinley and nti-McKinley men both. It is Significant to note, too, that many of the votes in New York that are for Morton are in favor of Mckinley after Morton and that Mckinley was able to secure nine votes from that state in spite of the candidacy of Governor Morton and state pride Only eight of the thirty-four votes in Missouri are counted for Mckinley in the above list but every one knows that he will get the other twenty-six Michigan is also to come with twenty-two more and Georgia with twelve, all of which will undoubtedly be for Mckinley. These added ito the above POP give Mckinley already 292 votes that can be counted already as certain.
 Still we have Connecticut, part of Illinois, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Rhode Island, Vermont, Cali fornia, Colorado, Idaho, Kentucky, Montana, Nevada, North Carolina, Or egon, Month Dakota, Tennessee, Vir- ginia, Washington, Wyoming, Arizona, Utah, Oklahoma, Delaware, Maryland and Nebraska yet to hear from in full Out of this number Major Mckinley will have to receive only 166 more votes to secure his nomination. Out of the twenty-five states and territories in the above table Mckinley gets more or less delegates from all but three of them, and if he can secure 292 out of these twenty-five states and territories it is very reasonable to suppose that he can get 166 out of the remaining twenty-five
 With these figures before them our readers can form an intelligent opinion regarding the matter. Mckinley will only have to get six votes and half out of each of the last states and terri tories above named to win the race. Of course a man is never nominated, in fact, until the convention proc.aims it and not in effect until he has major ity of all the delegates Instructed for 1 him. Viewing the matter without prejudice of any kind We are compelled to say that the chances that Major Mckinley will have a majority of the delegates ill his favor before the St. Louis convention meets are very strong to himself and friends.
 Another point must be borne in mind and this is that of the fifty votes Governor Morton has received forty one of them come from his own state
