are that the republican State ticket In Pennsylvania
will be elected in October by about twenty thousand
majority, while the Legislature Will be republican by
an increased majority. The republicans expect TO

With this huge preponderance in favor of the
democracy 1t is natural that there should be many
asprants for the nomination of that party. Among
the number have been named Cornelius P. HOFFMAN,
Of ROckand. who has secured all the delegates
from that county in his favor. Rockland has not
had representative in Congress in seventeen years,
and the appeal from that quarter Of the district is
strongly in favor of Mr.. Hoffman. Abraham B. Con.
ger Is also candidate from Rockland. Putnam
wants William H. Morris, son Of the late General
George P. Morris, or Saxton Smith, From West
chester Warren Leland, Clarkson N. Potter william
Radford, William Cauldwel Calvin Frost, Of Peeks-
Kill, are named. The republican candidates for the
nomination by the convention Of that party are
General Franz SiegeI and william H. Robertson, the
present incumbent who has positively declined to
run, although his friends insist upon his so doing.
With over four thousand majority on the last vote it
would be queer If the democratic nominee should
not be elected.
