AND STILL THEY DOME.

General Charles q. Grosvenor 2 As
appeared upon the political stage as
another prophet. The source of his
inspiration is unknown to the public,
but he talks Of the election OF Nc
Kinley in November as though it we're
a dead certainty. The whole number
of electoral votes is 447, 224 being
necessary to elect. In 1896 McKin-
lev received 271, and Bryan captured
176. Mr.. Grosvenor predicts, with
the air of an inspired prophet, that
IN November Mckinley will receive
27s, and Bryan 132, leaving 81 votes
doubtful. He comedies the Southern
States (save West Virginia and
Msryland) and Nevada to the Demo
Gratis. He expresses doubt as to
North Carolina.
Stretching his imagination he ad'
mits that Bryan may possibly get l5t
votes, the remainder going to McKin'
ley. The tranquil confidence Of this
prophet does not appear to be dis
turbed because the Democrats claim
q chance to carry Maryland, New
York, Indiana and other doubtful
States. The Democrats need not be
disturbed by Mr.. GrOsvenor's play
upon words in dealing in Futures"
but they cannot afford to ignore the
energetic work being pushed by Mark
Hanna.

landmarks here, in seems TO me, would
be unfortunate, especially as the es'
fablishment Of q National Park seems
certain in the near future. The
court green is large, with fine shade

could be made the most attractive fea'
