v1Rws THE POLITICAL SITUATION GENERALLY.
Mr.. r. A. Urmes, chairman of the Republican
Chautauqua County Committee, sees no dissatisfac-
ton as to the State ticket anywhere. He thinks
that MIR. Corneils majority in the county will be
about from $500 to 5000.
The Kelly "boom" seems to be engineered princi-
paiy by Mr.. William j. Weeks. respectable James
town grocer. He places the vote for Kelly in Chau-
tauuua at 400 and bases his opposition to Robinson
solely on account of Tidenism. He thinks it about
time for the party to shake of the one man power OF

Mr.. Joel scully. republican greenback farmer.
places the vote OF his party in Chautauqua at 200
The organization he estimates about equally
divided between democrats and republicans. Tho
discrimination in railroad freights, he considers,
will attract several republican votes to Lewis.
while the strong disatection in tho ranks of that
party against Cornell immediately after the Saratoga
Convention Is dying out IN consequence of the
"bloody shirt" arguments and the vigorous appeals
OF republican organs.
