The Campaign in Pennsylvania
The swim approach Of election day
next Tuesday, causes the political fight 4
n Pennsylvania to wax hot and furious, y
md the newspapers fairly brisile with up Il
,eals to the people to rally to the polls and e
ave the State. Though each party profess
,s TO be sauguine not only Of success
mt of sweeping victory, no intelligent
outsider looking over the field can slare
the confidence of either party. The Re-
publlcans have probably underestimate
the power of the anti-Cameron faction to
iniure their ticket, while the Democrats on
the other hand have probably over-estr
mated the influence of the Curtns and
Forneys and McClures in the muses.
We do not profess to be versed In the
dark ways of Pennsylvania politics, but
We have watched the present campaign
with much interest, and observed 1t some-1
what closely. Such observation con-
yinces us that the Greeley movement prop
err has made about as slight an Impression
in PENNSYLVANIA as in any State In the
Union. Scarcely a single Republican
politlcian. Of character and influence, was
caught up in the "whelming tide. y But
the disafvction of prominent politicians
on local issues was vastly greater, and |
/ me triumph of the friends of Senator CAM |
eron in the nomination Of State ticket, |
was accepted rs the signal for open war
by all who have for years striven for
overthrow ofthe old Senator. '"'

'"uN' of the republican organization
, against that party's nominees, and nearly
everybody within the State understands
; this so fully that We doubt greatly, as we
have said, whether the democrats are not
inclined to oyerestimate the influence Of
this movement on the masses of the voters
J especially since most of the changes
| against General HaItranft the republican
I candidate for Governor, have failed. But,
on the ether hand, the republicans do not
fully consider the effect of the withdrawal
A by So many active, working politicians al
j all help for their ticket, thus throwing a
larger part Of the burden of she Campaign
d in inexperienced sands. Neither side then,
we think, has cause for the confidence
j. which both express, and the election
