lynched and seemed greatly distressed over the affair The letter found on Llttlefield body which was alluded to in Justice At kisons testimony Friday was from a prominent business man of Weaver vllle In which he accused Llttlefield of stealing his horse The letter stated that If Llttlefield would return the horse he would be all right also that if be would send the horse In by Rag Ian it would be

THE FIRST BALLOT ASSIRED Flg mrea From the Weekly Political Bulletin Issaed by Gros venor 8peclal Dispatches to the Chronicle WASHINGTON May lO General Grosvenor issued his weekly statement to night He said I do not deem 1 vitally important to issue this bulletin Everybody who has knowledge enough to be a candidate knows this contest is over and no earthly power can prevent the nomination of McKinley on the first ballot The delegats In Ohio and Indiana are now all pledged and therefore I need not explain I am Including their vote The vote to day stands as follows Alabama 20 Arkansas 16 Arizona 6 California 18 Florida 8 Georgia 12 Illinois 35 Indiana 30 Kansas 20 Kentucky 11 Louisiana 10 Maryland 14 Michigan 18 Minnesota 18 Mississippi 18 Missouri 28 Nebraska 16 New Jersey 16 New

8 Indian Territory 2 total 548 Here Is a total of 548 votes and there Is not an Intelligent gentleman connected with the opposition combine who does not know when he carefully scans this column that there are twenty votes for McKinley on the first ballot east of the Alleghany mountains nut enumerated or claimed by me There are contested seats claimed by tgie for McKinley as follows Alabama 8 Florida 8 Georgia 6 Kentucky 2 Louisiana 6 Mississippi 10 Pennsylvania 2 Tennessee 4 Texas 8 Virginia 6 total 60 This is a liberal statement for some of the contestants of the McKinley delegates have already informed us that they will not prosecute their contests but allowing that all these sixty contests are prosecuted and that all sixty are decided against McKinley which Is by no means probable there would rtlll remain of the uncontested instructed and pledged votes on the first ballot already elected 488 Thus It will be seen that allowing the politicians who are superior to us In the management of all these affairs to have their own way upon every one of these contests and unseat every one of the contesting McKinley delegates still then McKinley will have a sweeping majority As I figure it there are seventy two delegates to be elected and I think I make a very modest and conservative claim when I say that McKinley will have fifty of these without contests and either pledged or instructed Add these to the 488 uncontested seats and you will have 538 votes on the first ballot beyond all controversy BOOKWALTER GROWING OLD Predicts That Cleveland Will Ron on a Free StWer Platform CINCINNATI May 10 A special to the Commercial Gazette from Springfield gives an interview with John Bookwalter the Democratic candidate for Governor of Ohio in 1S87 He predicts that GroveT
