Diyaps election would be victory over machine poll
ties and could not be claimed Democratic success
In the XIIth District part OF Luzerne County,, H. b.
Payne is the Republican candidate and Hendrick b.
Wright the Democratic. Politics Is very uncertain III
this district Trades and bargains often made at the
last moment that transfer considerable bodies OF voters
from side to the other and determine the result All
that can be aseortaned at this distance from the scene
leads to the belief that the Republican chances are
trihe the better.
The XIIIth District, composed Of Schuylkil County,
contains large shifting vote Of oreign-born miners
The Democrats feel entirely confident Of carrying it, but
as il gave only 454 majority year against Gov Hart
ranft the Republicans think they have "a nghtlng
chance" TO elect their candidate and are contestng the
ground vigorously.
The XvIIh is close district and will be carried by
the Republicans on the general ticket, but may
return the Democratic Congressman, Mr.. Relly, Oh
account OF his personal influence.
The XvITth is doubtful, with the chances in favor OF
the Democrats.
The XVIII ia undoubtedly Republican by 1000 ma
jorty the present Democratic member Judge jerks
personally popular than the Republican nominee
Gen. Harry White and may be reelected.
In the XVIII the Greenbackers somewhat numer-
ous and they have Endorsed the Democratic candidate,

defeat however. the efforts Of the Republicans during
the past week having diminished considerably the forces
OF the softmOncy partisans.
All the districts except those named have a pro-
nounced political complexion of one kind OF the other

Republican, The Democratic managers say that the
feht being made by the Reform Republican element in
this city against Mr. Rowan, the Ring candidate for
Sheriff, will rather hurt than help tie Democratic
electoral ticket The best classes OF Republicans WILL
they say go the polls from interest in the national
contest and from desire, too, to defeat Mr. Rowan,
while the efforts Of Mr. Rowans friends 10 him from
being beaten will result in obtaining the vote OF all the
ignorant and vena element. Here, then is OF
"split" in one party actually damaging the other
Among the smaller Republican ward politicians the
ght over the Office OF Sheriff quite ecpses the Presden
tia contest. In West Philadelphia this fact is well IL
lustrated by big banner stretched across Marsetst
