f~,racast. which demonstrates that
New York is bound to be the pivotal
State in the coming election, the can
1i5are who gets it being assured of
election. The following is the re
port:
The following States may be safely
racaried as assured to- Mckinley or
BRYAN with their FESTIVE electoral
votes
Observation-Disclosures g., Iowa Is,
Maine Is. Massachusetts Is, New
HAMPSHIRE +, Oregon t, Pennsyl-
wanna 81. Rhode Island +, Vermont

Total. 1866.
FenoWcome to consider the States
IN which the battle RACES and in
which the result is more or less in
doubt. They IRE appOrtiOned to Nc
Kinley or Bryan as indicated by the
conditions as at present existing and
as affected by both National and
State issues. 1t is also fair to dis
tribute these doubtful States among
both candidates as no reasonable
probability could marshal them as a
total in this column.
Doubtful States, probably for Nc
hinley-OniO %, Connecticut G., Della
Ware 3. Illinois "a, Kansas 10, New

Doubtful States, probably for
Bryan-Indiuna Is, Maryland s,
Michigan II, Minnesota 9. Assured
vote, 1866. Total, PIP.
Human foresight can make no alb
solute prediction in reference to any
Of these doubtful States, but any
transpo~itiOn from column to column
furnishes but little comfort to either
side at present, as the result would
remain practically unaltered so far
as the States thus far tabulated
are Concerned.
But one State remains unassigned,
and a~ the battle-ground nears home
It furnishes at once the most inter
r>tng political problem and the one
On which any mans opinion is as
good as another. New York, with
aer 81 votes, would make the result
look Ike this:
Mckinley vote, as previously re
corded. 1879; New York, So; total,
