MAreu Cur: X. n Aug. =, 1:do.
Ptnusyivauia is urque@tiouabiy a Republican
State. If every legu vote is psiled on the sec.
oud Tuesday OF October, Curtin will BE- elected
Governor by at Tent 30,0e0 msjorlsy. ! do not
btliere there is any danger Of defeat on account
Of orer.conGdecc= in our strength. The work
of orxaniz ,tion is going on; our friends are in
earnest, while thus far there IS no prospect Of 4
r. union with the Democratic family.
Our greatest gains will be in the strongest
Democratic districts. Here, in the Old Tenth
Legion. - TO. instance, where buchanan had be-
tween G,101 and s00o maturity touE years ago,
it is an open question WHITTIER we will or VT,
no. hare a Republican m.j jofi:y, though think
We will be beaten about 700. Our gain, ho1-
ever, c1n"ot6e les than 1900, and i'll probaby
exceed ,U'O. The counties composing This re-
nnrkable district are Northampton. Monroe,
r kc, Wayre and Carbon.
IL Northampton, We have q number OF yery
ac.ive ynuug working Republicans. who ar do
irg good service, by holding meetings. organ
have, slso, Republican organ &hele low, in
the GeImsn Language. We caInot be beaten
over 600 in old Northampton, where the Demo
cratic msjosity was . 400 ia 1856. In Npnroe
county, for tbs first time since the 1rgasiza!aou
of the Reputl an party, our friends are ac.iy-,

| do mt believe That Curtin will be btatau
more than half that bxure. In Pike County,
believe, cur friends have made but little il any
headway. The county Can poll xbont 500 votes.
The Democratic majority, take for granted,
will be, as usual, about cN'. In Wayre

organized, while the Democrats are badl;

couaty-in 1886 gave nearly 1000 Democratic
majority. Lincoln will have clear majority
aver the combined vote OF Breckenridge and
Douglas. Two years ago We carried the county

the total poll was over 400 stronger than ut any

since last year We have had charges in our IT,

500 to 400.
On Tuesday next there VII be a general ma.s
Distri-t Convention OF Republicans as :stscuda-
burg, Monroe County, On which occasion Col.
Curtin, nur text Governor, will be heard. Il

made. The candidates named nre Dr. d. X.
Shoemaker Of Carbon (Hho gave Dlmmick ve,y
hard cha.e two years a,o), and the Hon. II. b.
Samuel Yohe of Eaatou. Hsisher Of these gen.
tlemen seek uoinnatiop, nor will either Of
them shrink from duty if nominated. 1t is gen.
orally believed that We can elect.
So much fur the" Old Tenth Legion" where
the overwhelming Democratic majoFi:ies used to
come from,
