Philadelphia, Dec. II, 1874.
A MIsTKEN POLICY.
The Centennial managers appear
to entertain the belief that the most
etlectual way to reach the public eye,
and to carry popular conviction, is
by circulars, pamphlets, pictures and
photographs. They may be entirely
right, and 1 may be wholly wrong in
the opinion, that one hundred dol
lars judiciously expended in news
paper advertising will accomplish
more than a thousand dollars expend-
ed in circulars and the postage re-
quired to mail them.
The newspapers in this city have
had scarcely any advertising from
the Managers of the Centennial
from patriotic motives each Journal
ist in Philadelphia has done his ut
most to further the interests Of the
Exhibition, and the result is 95 per
cent of the subscriptions to the Cen
tennial stock has been received from
Philadelphians; and this in face of
tne lact tnaU t9o9sanus . OF Goll&rS 11r

Managers to consider if such sys-

tbo Govo,no1,,s friends to hone for
snocess. The ablest Republican pol
itician in this city remarked p me
this morning that ''if Curtin were
nominated hundreds Of Republicans
in each county of the Commonwealth
who have been snubbed apd soured
| by Mackey, Quay, and Rutan, would
embrace the opportunity to revenge
themselves upon these men, and
Curtin would sweep the State by ~,
600 majority"
Many of the leading Democrats in
the State are desirious OF recoSniz-
ing Gov. Curtin's services in the cam
paigp Of 1872. This they believe is
the opportunity for such recognition
but no action looking to placing Gov
Curtin at the head OF the state TICK
ct, one year hence, will be formally
taken by the party unless it has The
approval of Senator Buckalew and
Col. Noyes-the two gentlemen
named most prominently IN connec-
ton with the Goyernorshlp.
