they wall undoubtedly be heard from at the ballot

on this topic

'Any Kelly mon here?'
.'Yes, they have started Kelly club. but don't
think the movement will amount to anything"
"Who is at the head of itY'
"a man who has been always ready to jump from
side to the other for the sake OF being excep-
tional."
One other cause also found for surmising that
the Cornell vote might be kept down somewhat in
this section Of the State. The prohibition people
are strong here. and have not received any counte
nance from either democrats republicans. Rep

ventons of both parties, but they received

their own candidates. OF course 1t is known that
the prohibitionists draw almost entirely from
p bicans. 1t will be recollected that last they
polled some six thousand votes tor their State
ticket. This year sanguine individuals in Alegany
county claim that they may register anywhere be-
tween ten and fifteen thousand votes doubt the
assertion.

minutes with one of the iirm gentleman of consd-

from those expressed by Mr.. Barnes.
