che best estimates the coalition majority cannot
reach two thousand, including part OF the Ger
few OF the Weishmen. l met State Senator william
M. Randall nom this district, and he told me ne
knew almost every man in favor OF the democrats
reach near two thousand asked him why he did not
agree with the estimates OF his associates, and he
told me he knew too much Of the men and their
troubles to be msled in that direction. The fact,
he said, was that while Mcclure was waiting to
bring Cstn out as surprise ana TO
against their ranks, Errett the chairman Of the
Republican State Central Committee, had given
Der OF wire-pulers and "ten dollar men" went
among the miners, swOre that Curtin would never
declare himself IN favor Of Buckalew and by varl-
Gus other means induced scores OF anti-Hartranft,
antiCameron republicans 20 commit themselves In
favor OF Grant at least thereby closing their mouths
and anticipating the October election. Curtins let
ter stung many Of the men who thus permitted
themselves to be bought over but many refused TO
change Their purpose having given their pledge to
split as ZOO from any quarter might make sad
havoc among them; but whether the split can i'm
prove the republican less than the democratic eide
Is questionable Az an organization

whether the leaders in Walnut street are imbned
crecy ID power'I am unable to say, but certain 1t
wi ,1Sy may r MAINTAIN secrecy as the means OF
ness or from fear OF detection in the old Cameron
tactics As to the latter there is little doubt Money
voters In this region, and all the false swearing
OF henchmen and all the power Of the admlnistra-
ton cannot cover up the tracks opened up by the
detectives. IL Is in this way they may greatly re-
duce the majority rs above estimated but think
the fact OF Curtin supporting Buckalew, his letter
and the speech that Is to be forthcoming shortly,
added to the enthusiasm for the old Governor In
the neighhOring county or Berks, will prevent a
considerable falling OF that might otherwise have
occurred. AS an instance OF the disafecti0n may
mention that while Mcclure was "scalpng' Ban
non last night, speaking to mixed multitude,
many OF whom had looked up to him (Bann0n)
nothing less than man politically inspired,
the crowd enjoyed the flashing immensely. When
the speaker christened him az a .r0ast chickens
eyer they were perfectly delighted and
probably nothing but 'chicken" will be thrown at
the offending editor for years to come so far a.
my observation extends here believe there Il no
doubt the liberals win poll majority here in Octo-
ing also. II the democrats desire to improve their
majority, they will have to do as their opponents
are doing-yOrk hard and quetfy-otherwise there
fs not even the remotest chance OF their running
up such majority as their coalition should GER
tainly receive. Feelings run high in favor OF both
Grant and Greeley and Hartranft and Buckalew
indeed, regard this county as tending strongly to-
wards the republicans. The tendency may be
forced, but that does not alter the fact and should
impress the majority OF the necessity OF hard work
and careful watching. Men will become daZZled
by show, discipline and money, while principles are
treated for just what they may happen to be worth
in the best market.
