THE OUTLOOK IN PENNsYLIAAHA!

'xnE VVXAVVA - = ~s~ =
Although good deal depends upon
Ohio, it is = safe, calculation to prepare %
welcome Pennsylvania into The line Of
Democratic States in November. Business
led Us into Northern Central Pennsyl-
vsnia last week, and we had ample oppor'
tunities to observe the drift Of public sent''
ment in Clear6sld, Blair, and Mifflin. IN
these districts there is q marked change y
public sentimeut--so much so that leading
democrats in Clear6eld say they will carry
that county BY larger majority next
month than the sweeping one of last No
vember. The same hopeful feeling per-
,meates the Democracy all through tbs
State, save in Luzerne and its vicinity, ~
that resi.n there are tremendous 2 n efforts ef o1.
being made on the part Of the Republican,. J y.
to come to terms with the outlaws who
live by Cowboyism. A few thousanis "a
votes, howevar, can only be affected BY the
m.nipulations Of Major Delaney, the Pr
vate Secretary Of Governor Hartranft, who
is now floating between Wilkesbarre, and
Scranton, with an occasional visit I 70 3 such 4
places as the "House Of Blases," in Ply
month, to arrange with the Aollies who
trade in suffrage. ,.7 II s.uyil lD.J Il, d
In Philadelphia the Labor movement u
not likely 10 give much trouble, formnlldaF- lnl
bic as it nigh, have been. The labor llaboor vote.
except those coming from shoemaker and
t.ilors' organizations, will mainly be s|
Republican loss. The Temperance and
Greenback people, although earnest in adj
vocacy, wanting organization, are luke
warm and inactive. The key Of the polit.
ical situation is Philadelphis, and there's
the spirit Of rebellion walks abroad. and,
like the Jew upon the ramparts Of b.
sieged Jerusalem, cries, "'Woe! woe unto
youv' Revolt is openly manifested IN
many Of the wards, and is quietly At work
in all the Others. There is an evident de-
on the part Of Independent,
notwithstanding Republicans to break
the rule Of the rings, even If in doing this
they insure the success Of the Democratic
who, by the way, have an excellent ticket
this year. ,Di sten and Hunter and their
many friends swear vengeance against the
traders and tricksters who are running the !
party machine regardless Of right and pol
icy; and this fact means grief to the Gasf
Ring, and to the Rowan gang. These man
ayers have sown the whirlwiud and are 1
doomed to reap the storm. I
It must not be disguised that the Dem |
ocracy hath some soiled linen to wash.
There is quite general sentiment Of dis
gust manifested BY many hitherto active
Democrats At what they call the usurpa-
ton Of the organization by the Pilgrim
gang, who are the Settlers and Pointers"
Of the Penn.ylysnia Railroad; and they +
openly preach the doctrine tnat Pope con.
creted in sentence, party is the madness
of the many for the gain Of the few"
When The toesiu sounds, and the drum and
f e call the unterrifed into column, judg-
ing the future by the past, the growlsrs
will fall in. But Temple, McMullen, and
their plant followers say, "'Not this time,''
and threaten to have at least the scalp Of
Hagert-who, by the way, is the most en-
ineutly fit man in the city for the Office he
is running for. ,.og4 ma .ysr.,..,|
Taking into account the moral certainty
Of stampede in Allegheny couaty Of the
Republican masses, and that the Demo-
cracy make good fight in Ohio, Peuusyl'
vania may be set down for the cause Of
right in November by 1880 najority.3I
