PHLADEIrHIA, Aug. 10. 1915.
Tomorrow will be Of the great political days in
this section. The democratic conventions to nominate
city and county tickets meet in the afternoon and in the
evening the whg party hold their primary meetings to
appoint delegates to their nominating conventions. As
the wire workers OF the two great parties
will be actively engaged in advancing their views Of par
ty orpersonal aggrandzement OF course both
into all their schemes but whether
the former the latter will be allowed preponderats
depends upon the chances of victory defeat Which
party is certain Of victory will not DO solicous Of
making unexceptionabe nominations, and the moro
scheming and unprincpled will be likely be taken up;
but if the elements Of success appear to be scattered
among plurality of organizations and the chances are
somewhat equally divided parties feel the necessity OF
putting their best foot foremost and people are likely
that time if at other to get eptonabls candi
dates.
Parties in this section to be placed in something
of this predicament The Natives appear to me to be
the wanc but their strength still sufficient to make
the result extremely doubtful provided they are sustan-
ed by the wings As separate party, unsustaned by
NAL contents from that in the ascendant by the
Of that in the minority, who overlook principle in the
desire to overthrow their opponents do conceive
they could exist fora moment Even with tho wings they
amatter beyond controversy Tho great popular party
which, when united. has always carried everything be-
fore them In the county of Philadelphia would still be
able by judicious management, to shake the vitality
out OF such coalition You will therefore perceive
that if am correct in my views upon this party will de-
pend in great measure the result of the
tober. That am correct few unprejudced men will
conroveft. The netves again con poll the vote
they did last fall That many have left their ranks they
themselves do not pretend deny The contest of last
fall placed impossible gull between them and the de-
mocracy and il would be rather stretch of the msg
nation suppose that they could get recruits such
source So far the wing party in this section is
cerned know many othem would be glad to assist the
natives to defeat the democrats in the county fthey
could do without cndangerng their very existence
party and thus destroying their ascendancy in the
city. Such result might be disastrous to tho wing
party the whole Union, for nothing damps the ardor
Of party much as the loss of strong hold. And it
is highly probable that the loss would be perpetual
likely that the democrats strong in their organiza-
ion strong in the popularity of their doctrines through
out the Union strong in accessions from the wing
ranks of those who having sympathy with native.
ism become disguised by the coun,enance given to
by their old party and rendered douby strong, in add
the sequel (when nativeism dies die it must)
permanent possession of both city and county and
for ever exclude the WING party from power in this
On the other hand if the wings maintain their organ
cation and the democrats wisely the extinction Of
natveism will be fastened and parties will remain
pretty much the same position they have occupied for
the last ten or fifteen years
There is another view Of the case however which is
well worthy OF attentive consideration by those inter-
ested If the democrats act unwisely, and present
ticket calculated to excite discomfort they will be in
imminent danger of defeat The chances will be in IA
vor Of naveism and if they successful it requires
but little sagacy to perceive that Philadelphia City and
County must be whig from that time forth The ex.
ample of Antimasonry in western NV York, and the
effect had in revoluonizing strong democratic coun-
ties which continue wing and Antmasonic to this day
ought be lesson to the parties ascendant where
the Juror OF naveism exists The policy of the demo.
cratic party in the County of Philadelphia therefore, is
net only to nominate men who good in themselves
but to present those who have been be-
fore the people have held public office and who
disconnected from those clques portions their
party that have figured extensively in their primary
tests.
