BRYAN WILL WIN
He Can Win without New York But
VIII Carry That State Safely.

Henry T. West, the veteran cores
pendent OF the Washington Post, has
completed his canvass of the doubtful
States and thus sums up the results Of
the same:
This whole question resolves itself
into a matter of arithematic The
man who wins the Presidency must
secure at least 224 votes. Bryan re-
ceiyed 176 in 1896. l believe he will
lose this year the States Of Washing
ton, South Dakota, Kansas and Wy
oming, aud the one vote which he OBJ
tanned in California, or twenty-five
votes il all This gives him a net
vote Of 154, or 20 less than the requi-
site majority. II he carries the doubt
full States Of Indiana, Maryland, West
Virginia, Delaware and Kentucky he
will get fourty-four votes, leaving
twenty-six to be obtained elsewhere.
Illinois would only give him twenty
four but the five first named States,
with Illinois and Michigan, would
give him the election without New
York. Illinois was reported doubtful
by Senator Hanna when he returned
from the West week or ten days,
and / think it is generally conceded
that the democrats will carry Chicago,
which, in 1896 gave Mckinley 10000
majority. My judgment is, however,
that the candidate who carries New
York will be the next President Of the
United States. Curiously enough this
State is again the pivotal point-that
State, which in 1895, gave republic
can majority of 26S, 600 and which
until the campaign began to unfold
itself, was supposed an impregnable
fortress of republicanism. The very
fact that the democratic claim of car
rying New York is for moment wor-
thy of serious consideration betokens
a marvellous shifting of public senti
ment, and it is the very existence OF
this change that gives the democrats
hope for the election Of their candi-
date.
