says:
81 would not think of the grave. step Of
contesting an election upon slight or cap
tious ground or to crafty party caprice, but
If there Is substantial grounds for doing so,
and l believe there Is, and it could be made
to appear according to law, then If the peo-
pie demand it 1t will be my duty, and will
add my pleasure, TO contest 1t; and I shall
do so at the instance of the people. If on
tie other hand In the opinion of friends
competent to judge such matters, sufficient
proof of frauds cannot be made to con-
test successfully, will not attempt a
fruitless undertaking. I don't desire TO en-.
gage in an unayailing controversy, and
am sure the people do not; but have most
abundant information to satisfy me that the
great mass of the people throughout the
State who supported me, and those associa-
ted with me, desire that such contest shall
be made if sufficient proof can be produced
to make 1t successful, not otherwise. So
that If it turns out upon the examination
now being made by my friends through the
Executive Committee that substantial
ground for contest can be established, /
viii contest the election and vindicate the
Fights Of the people and as ] believe the
best interests of the Stale and country by
30 doing, to the utmost of my ability and to
the last extremity"

Pennsylvania-Rads Swapping Votes
Two to One.
NEW YORK, Sept. ia letter from Phila-
delphia to the World says: 'sThe desperation
of the Grant party Is, since the Louisville
iEzle, doubly intensified. Cameron swears
eternal vengeance against these who, so far |
as this State Is concerned, managed the |
miserable abortion. Many of our mer- |
chants and other business men believe the !
money paid out so extravagantly by State |
Treasurer Mackey for the purpose of fur |
nishing delegates for Louisville, came from |
the State Treasury. Every indication of |
coming events points conclusively to Buck
Rlew's coming down to Philadelphia with |
a popular majority Of thirty thousand,
which will be increased, if an honest count |
Of the votes Of this city Is given him. To |
secure the reelection of Simon Cameron |
it becomes necessary to defeat Col. Duchert,
for Senator in the first district, |
which is very close. To do this eight
hundred Democrats have been recently put |
TO work in the Navy Yard, on condition
that they will vote the whole Democratic
ticket, excepting only the candidate for
State Senator. For this office they are TO
vote for the Cameron candidate. In addi-
ion to this, Republican votes are to be
.raded off for Democratic votes In tbs pro-
portion Of two to oEe-that is, two Re-
publican votes will be given for Buckalew
for each vote given to the Cameron candi-
late for State Senator. Imention this as
showing the hopelessness of their cause,
