Tt!e Bolt Among the Republicans Of
PENNSYLVANIA.

Eorney'S Press tells us how the nOmina-
ton of Hartranft for Governor Is received:
These opinions have been collatcd without
reference to their bilS. We have tried to do
exact Justice to all concerned. One or two
wecklics published in small towns maintain Il
perfectly neutral position, and content them
selves by simply stating the names Of the
candidates and giving short sketches of their
lives. They apparently await the develop
mcnt of the sentiment Of the purity. The re-
suit on the other candidates may he stated as
follows:
The Lancaster Express repudacs the
ticket and refuses to support it. The Lam
caster Enterprise says the nominations are
weak; that they represent, not the people.
but Il clique of corrupt men, and it awaits
further developments to save the party from
disastrous defeat. The Wcstchester Repub-
licdn cannot comprehend the motives of the
delegates, and SAYS the policy adopted will in
the end break down the party. The Pitts
burg Leader says the nominee for Governor
will not command the party vote, and adds
that "tLe clique in management have had
rebukcS that ought to have opened their
eyes ere now, and from which it would have
been wise for them to have taken warning.
1t is not safe for them to calculate too strong
" on the expectation that because of the i'm
portant bearing, we'll understood, of the Oc-
tober election on the one that follows in No
yembcr, Il therefore undivided rally can be
counted on at the former-tat to save Grant
the party will certainly stick to Hartranft."
The Pittsburg Chronicle thinks that OH the
eve of a presidential contest every dictate OF
prudence should have compelled the strong
est nomination, and is of the opinion that
cit need not follow that Hartranits defeat
should lose Pennsylvania to Grant. There
are Republicans who will refuse to abide the
nomination at Harrisburg, and yet accept the
nomination ut Philadelphia. There are hun
drcds of men who will cordially support
Ulysses Mcrcur for supreme judge and yet
scratch Hartnnft."
The Scranton Republican thinks the peo-
pie had little to do with manufacturing the
ticket; that Hartranft's nomination leopard
ICES the success of the party, and that wind
and tide are both against us. IT speaks the
truth boldly and without fear when it says
''1'he great body of those who support the
Republican party are becoming deadly hos.
tile to the tyrlnncal rule of denagogucs and
rings in the nominating conventions and
party management generally. The Republic
can party is composed of the intelligent
classes of the country, and they will not sub.
NIT always to this kind of thing"
The Mauch Chunk Coal Gazette thinks
| hard work will be needed to elect the ticket
| The Pottsyile Miners Journal says that the
| Convention was controlled by the Philadel
| phia and Pittsburg managers, who car
hardly he expected to nominate good
ticket" but that this is an exception, and
that the ticket is good one and Il strong one
The Pittsburg Dispatch speaks OF General
Hartranft's honorable war record, but admits
an intense hostility to him within the party
The Pittsburg Commercial, writing before
the full proceedings were received, believe:
| that the Convention was us fairly constituted
as any that ever met, and gives full ant
cheerful support to Hartrantt.
The Harrisburg State Journal counsel:
acouiesence in the result, and believes thu
ticket invulnerable. The Harrisburg Iele
qraph thinks General Hartranft, like Bayard
above reproach, while the NOrristown Herald
and Independent, published at the nominee
home, are enthusiastic over his success. Th'
West Chester Village Record, Pittsburt
Mail, and Reading Dispatch, all approve th
selections. The first says that the candidate
have been tried and found not wanting; tin
second pays General Hartrantt the hiShes
compliments, and the last says he has recort
which few can bonst.
We have given the opinions OF the Stat
papers Just as we found them. We leave
them now with the people.
