Leading politicians in Pennsylvania outside Of
the Democratic party express their belief that at
least 1900 Republicans in that State will next
Tuesday vote the Democratic State ticket on ac-
count of their dissatisfaction with the course of the
Administration, and their resolve to administer
such rebuke to the President may tend to check
