COunty-views OF the Party Leaders
The County Conceded to the Coalition.
WiLKEsBARRE, Oct. g. 1872.
Lnzerne county politics are more inextlicably
mixed and the voters more uncertain than those
OF any other county OF the commonwealth OF Penn
sylvanla, and make this assertion at the outset,
with the full assurance OF being able
to justify It, Like Schuylkil and Carbon,
Luzerne las o cosmopolitan and ever-sht-
ing population, SO far as the majority Of the
voters Is concerned. The Welsh miners are di-
vided between Hartranft ana Buckalew as are the
English, also, to extent, though both nation
alities, II distinction can fairly be made, are
strongly IN favor OF Grant. The catholic Irish
miners are straight democrats while their Prot
testant brethren are wholly republican. The Ger
mans arc divided more on the national than on the
State affairs, the majority being in favor OF Gree
ley, though they unhesitatngly declare tnat man
with straight and unquestionabe democratic
frI1 an1
unanimous vote ana would have been more
compatible to their almost natural born democratic
countymen. RumOrs Of oil kinds are floating about
with reference to the desperation OF the parties,
their determination not to be beaten ana the free
use OF money in purchasing votes and drawing over
proseytes but my observation leads to the conclu-
sion that both parties are unprecedentedly poor,
assistance from Philadelphia and New York having
been persistently refused.
THE REPUBLICANS.
I had long conversation with Judge Hoyt,
Chairman OF the Republican County Committee and
Assessor of Internal Revenue, this morning, be-
tween whom and Erret, Chairman of the State
Central Committee in Philadelphia, there has been
a determined agreement to disagree relative to the
slnews Of war necessary to carry on the fight.
Hoyt said the fight was the most severe and the
NEST complicated he had ever known. The demo-
Gratis claimed majority In the county OF some
seven thousand votes, but he was perfectly
certain that with a just vote, this county

settled as to the voters however. 'Now this much
we know = said the Judge, that unless an entire

which, OF course, we must make full allow

If he had received the gubcrnatoral nomination,
would have given him a majority OF 900 in this
county alone. AS he Is large mine and real estate
owner l suppose he could speak with authority.
He calculated that at the least Luzerne would give
$500 TO Buckalew ana that he would run ahead OF
his ticket here.

Il understood your estimated majority was
greatly in excess OF the figures you have given,rI

II 1t reaches 5000, but you can safely state our
