THE REPUBLICAN CAMP.
The chief consul tatlon among the republicans
to-day has been one by General Hawley, Postmas-
ter General Jewell ana Speaker Blaine. Tney
dlned together this afternoon and were engaged
until this evening IN talking over the probauIltes
or tomorrow Or the success OF the general State
ticket of the party neither General Hawley nor
MIR. Jewell are confident. just what they profess
TO anticipate Is that the voting vii, be SO close
all around That none OIL tine three candidates Tor
Governor will have clear majority over the
otner Two, and hence the election Will be decideo
by the Legislature. The prohibition candidate,
who Will PROBABLY receive the lull support oil mis-
party, Will thus be the uncertain element between
the two principal organizations.
VIEWS OF GENERAL HAWLEY AND Mr.. JEWELL
concerning the contest in my own DISTRICT
remarked General Hawley, cheerIuly, ''every-
thing indicates that VIII be elected. and the re-
puDllcans wnom have talked with leel much en-
conraged. am aware that the democrats have
been very industrious, and that they Will bring
all their available strength to bear against me,
but DO not apprehend that their NUMBERS Will
be sufficient to Work my defeat"
MIR Jewell also found confident OF the election
OF Mr. Havley, but not hopeless OF the choice OF
any OF the other Congressional candidates OF his
party, except In Mr.. St2rkweather's district.
The scene at the COltl'dnt offce this evening Is
very livery. The editorial and counting rooms are
fed with poitlcians, all anxious Tor scraps OF in
suit tomorrow. The contest in Mr.. Hawleys DIS
trct Is the topic most discussed and nearly all
are sangulne or mis- success by majority OF from
200 TO 400.
