THE CAMERON INFLUENCE.-Ihe Gin

The Western Pennsylvania Republican
politicians are opposing the Cameron in.
1 tiuence and the Presidents and they say
they would rather have no representative
in the Cabinet than to have one elected by
him. The number Of voting precincts in
the State Is as great as the majority Of the
party, and, tho tendency seems 70 be

press has been warned that tue loss Of q
single Republican vote at each precinct

tcrnal Revenue TO the present Acting
Commissioner, Douglas, and trust TO the
wisdom of shrewd management to hold
the State within the party at the next
