REPUBLICAN sIDE-AN EDITORS OPINION.
Mr. Beman Brockway is editor and proprietor of
the Watertown Times, a republican paper OF consid-
erable influence The gentleman formerly pr-
vate secretary to Governor Fenton and great ad-
mirer of the Chautauqua statesman.
Mr. Brockway says that he has only found one re-
publican IN Jefferson county who will not support
Cornell. That individual is a Frenchman. This
gave his for such in the state
ment that he considered it sufficient for Roscoe
Conkling to elect himself United States Senator
New York taking a Governor OF his tConkiine =
choice. Il Will scratch Cornelis name oil the heau
of my ticket" remarked the Frenchna,i. sestcu,

piece OF paper supposed to represent ballot %.

aCertainiy. There may be a few who will bolt tho
republican ticket. but their numbers must be small
indeed On the democratic side think that II Rob
defeated the balance of that State ticket Will
be defeated with him.. 49,
..On what do you base this assertionr'
.'The scratching and bolting will be about equal
among the democratic factions. that II Robinson
goes down he will carry Beach. Potter and the 9TH
ers with him."
A SENATORIAL CANDIDATE GIVES THE SITUATION.
The republican candidate for Senator in the
Twenty-first dstrict--composed of Jefferson aud
Oswogo counties--is General Bradley Winslow. for
merly Mayor of Watertown and District Attorney.
His democratic opponent Is MT. ID. A. King,
lawyer. There seems to be no doubt OF General
Wnslow's election by majority of from three to
four thousand This gentlemans estimate of the
republican vote i'll Jefferson for Lucius Robinson is
200. The claims of powerful disatfection in repub
lcan ranks against A. B. Cornell receive
dence from General Winslow. while he asserts that
the republican party in the locality moro
enthusiastic or in better condition.

General. land am told by Kelly men that Robinson
will not get 200 votes there. OF they

Mr.. Charles Il. Skinner has been member of AS
sembly from Jefferson county for two terms. He is
q republican, and formerly published newspaper
in this vicinity. Mr.. Skinner says that his party Is
perfectly united in Jefferson. and promises a hand
SOME majority for the State ticket.
'No detection among republicans to Robnson?
''There may be a few. but that is all. Our meet.
ings have been as enthusiastic and well attended
as III 1876 the Presidential year
'Any Kelly organization hcre?"
"No. You must recollect that Secretary Of State
Beach has been anti Robinson and anti Tlden man.
but it would not do for him under the circumstances
to openly countenance Kelly's bolt"
You do believe, then. in the statement as to o
material republican bolt against Cornell?''
II do not l have not seen any evidence OF 1t,
although 1 have travelled through nearly every
town in this county during the last few weeks"
SOMEWHAT CONTRADICTORY.
Mr.. Brown, one of the proprietors OF the Wood
ruff House at Watertown (who acknowledged himself
to me az republican, materially contradicts the
knows OF quite a number of republicans who will
vote for Governor Robinson.
ITO what class of citizens do those republicans
belong?
principally farmers. They think that Mr.. Robin
son has made an excellent Governor. he has cut
down taxes. and they see no reason why he should
not be reelected"
''why do they object to Mr.. Cornell?"
''Simply because he represents the machine and
the worst elements in politics. should think that
the alliance of republicans with Tammany Hall
would do them moro harm than good"
Whv SOP"
'weil. people in the country arc familiar with
Tammany's corrupt tactics us u political organza-
such alliance. and do not believe in assisting to
keep it in power. am under the impression that
Cornell in some quarters may lose more votes than
he can gain by this coalition"

THE GREENDAcKEIs AND PRoHIBITroSIsTs

OF State 1t is said that the greenbackers about

Some attention is being paid to the prohibitonists

Robinson 1t is understood, Of course, that any in
