l[R. NANLET,S FORECAST.
HE is SURE OF PSI ELECTORAL VOTES
FOR M'KINLEY.

Joseph II. Manley, of the Republican National
Committee is now that Indiana is in the
Republican column of States that he yesterday
gave out what will doubtless be his final forecast
of the campaign He figures that Mckinley and
Roosevelt will carry twenty-six States, giving the
Republican ticket 2sl votes, while the Democrats
will carry fourteen States giving Bryan us electo
raj votes. and they will also appropriate the cleo
toral vote OF Kentucky, although Mr.. Manley says
the Republicans will undoubtedly carry it. Idaho.
Colorado Missouri, Montana, Nebraska and Utah
are considered doubtful by Mr.. Manley, who says,
among other things:
toral votes, assigning TO Mckinley and Roosevelt
265 votes. The poll received these headquarters
from the several States corroborates fully the
estimate [ gave October 3, and places, in addi-
tion, Indiana in the sure Republican column. II
we add to the 2S1 votes the thirteen votes of Ken
lucky, which are surely to be cast for the Repub-
Hcan ticket, it will make 294 electoral votes, and
Mckinley and Roosevelt will honestly receive these
votes, but we do not expect these Kentucky cleo
toral votes TO be given they cast.
In the doubtful States, information is that
we stand more than chance TO carry Colo
rado. Nebraska and Utah. We thoroughly
aware that attempt is to be made to have the
vote of Maryland declared for Bryan regardless OF
how the votes cast-in other words. TO diSfrau-
chiSe the Republicans. But this viii not work, and
the American people viii not be cheated out of the
honest result of the votes November g. In all
the Northern States the votes will be counted and
States will undoubtedly be carried by the Repub-
