Passing from Orange to Sullivan county it was
easy perceive that the unsettled state Of po-
litical affairs not all prominent as in Port
Jervis and Middletown. When the main arteries of
railroad travel-such rs the Erie and Central-are
left behind, and the broad. peaceful country 10
reached. the thinking meditative farmer may be
found to give cool. unbiased opinions on the public
situation He is not open to tho arguments of town
city demagogue. the general disturbing warfare
for political Office fought only for tho loaves and
fishes regardless OF party obligation and principle;
neither has to argue with the Tammany WIRE
pullers or the city machine republicans. He
breathes the pure air of heaven daily. reads and
carefully dgests tho news of the day. forming his
own opinions upon political questions. without the
aid of such misleading prompters.

their efforts in this section OF the State must almost
solely assist the republican cause. the body Of the

The Irish will vote straight. They evidently
