OF the county of the same opinion.
GAS 10 the of the trouble il has its origin in
the attempts of Mr. Tden and MIR. Robinson TO os-

upon the democratic organization their own per-
sonal property to be used for their own purposes.
The contemplate practices they have resored in
carrying out their object and the way in which even
the patronage of the state has been used by them,
has dsgusted all sound democrats. Mr.. Peck was
made Superintendent OF Canals for the purpose of
carrying the State delegates. and when it found
that he had r;ls failed Fish was put in his place
NELL in this city. to carry this county, and
with a man named Alberts to carry Orleans. But
their own agents deceived them and they failed al

done so. But last spring they had put men on the
canals for the express purpose of carrying the elec

latter part of August Mr. Fish. the superintendent
OF Public Works, wrote letter to one Of these

THE ROBINSON SIDE.
Meanwhile the Robinson men in Lockport
not inactive and while they cannot ignore the Kelly
movement or it's Importance. they make light Of it
and confidently claim sufficient increase OF their
vote from other sources to make the loss through
that detection.
DR.. Cant. the editor of the Lockport Daily Union.
says:-"Mr. Kelly will not get over five hundred
votes in this county and these will be than Off
set by republican votes cast for Robinson. There

laton to the machine rule They bolted the machine
two years ago on Congress and they still retain
their hostility to the men who represent it. Mr..

now looks formidable expect it to die out consid-
erably before election.

districts and have reason to be satisfied with the
turns We have postponed taking canvass Of the
city until the last week of the canvass. because
expect the complexion of affairs will change. Our

will die off, 1t must be remem bered that this county
is of the strongest Kelly counties in the rural
districts of the State. But think going to
discount all the votes that given for him here,
and not willing to conccde that he will get as
many i've hundred in the county"
Captain Lee, who is in command OF the State scow;
Mr.. Robert Patterson the foreman the locks; Mr.
s. S. Pomeroy, ola editor, and other Robinson
men express similar hopeful views. although it will
be observed that they are based on changes which
may or may not take place.
THE KELLY CLAIMS.
The claims on the Kelly side are of course much
larger than the Robinson estimates. many insisting
that he will receive 15O0 to 1000 out Of the $500
character and standing OF the in the move
ment evidence that they will stand firm, and say
that they shall increase rather than diminish between
this and election The truth will probably be found
hslf way between the two.
THE REPUBLICAN OUTLOOK
The republicans OF the city and county quiet
and confident and certainly there iS evidence
among them of disposition to bolt Mr.. Cornell.
In the town of Cambria there few men, prob
ably half dozen. who expected to for Rob-
inson In Pendleton there arc none to be found.
In Hartland there was dissa when the re-
publican nominations made. but It appears to
have entirely died out. In Niagara not republ-

AN INDrscnEEr POLICY
The Robinson Committee here recently displayed
in their window u caricature drawing Of John Kelly
1t represented him drunken lrishman with one
hand on hat with broken pipe stuck in the band
and the other brandishing shillelah. A whiskey
bottle stuck out of his pocket, and from his mouth
came tile words s:-"Frec naturnixationN
whiskey!" So much indignation was expressed
over the matter that the picture was removed.
