There are. hundreds, am told by republican In
authority mere, VINO are only waiting for Curtin's
manifesto in full in order to shape the course they
intend to pursue. With Cameron and his allies on
one side, and Curtin and his immense list OF follow
ers on the other, 1t is easy to see that the fight is
really between two men. During the next
few days we may hear but little of
what Is being done by the active agents
OF the contending parties; the republicans are
thoroughly organized and ready for great risks, and
need not inform you that the democrats are also
prepared to meet trick with trick. To the ordinary
city men the fight between Hartranft and Buckaiew
Is all important. But to those who take q more
comprehensive view of national and State politics
the fight between Curtin and Cameron will settle
the chief points at issue between the contending
parties-the strongest on either will undoubtedly
carry the State with him. In conclusion l would
state that this Curtin affair has been scrupuously
hidden nom the public although Mcclure, Randall
and others have been IN possession Of information
tor several days past indicating the Curtin's deter
power In reserve only to be forced into prominence
at the moment when the enemy were having mat
