LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
THE Pennsylvania ELECTION.


REASONS FOR COUNTING UPON A HANDSOME RR-
PUBLICAN MAJORITY.
70 the Editor or The Tribune
SIR: The telegram to You from Colonel Hooton,
the chairman of our Republican State Committee.
giving 5000 majority for the Republicans sure,
land probably 10000" seems at first sight to leave
a pretty wide margin for guess work. and to indi-
cate that the canvass has not been close The facts
will explain IL fully.
We estimate $1,000 for cur State ticket on the
basis of our last election returns, and the n.y.
pothesis that both parties III equal fighting
trim. This last is prudential. but is very little re-
moved from preposterous. Continued victory has
made the Republicans bold continual defeat has
demoralized the Democrats. But, further, the
Democratic candidate is bitter Roman Catholic,
and has made that fact Extensively prominent by
trying to convert the Catholic clergy into cam
paign committee. This has aroused the Protestant
clergy and enragcd the voters of all sects, and
large number Of Protestants, who are also Demo-
Gratis will resent this indecent and laundering OBJ
trusion of sectaranism into the campaign.
Then We nave the party leadership transferred.
"for this occasion only" from Wallace, a man Of
political ability. to Barr man whose political
knowledge and capacity have no existence out of
the heads of himself and his brothers, all of whom
hate Wallace more than they hate the ID, and
nearly as much as Wallace hates them. In Phladel-
phia, too, we have Reform" Democratic Commit
tee forcing the machine" leaders off their old seats
of control and management and these old and re-
jected leaders doing just what Wallace is doing
they calmly and hopefully waiting to hear
how badly the Democrats have been beaten by the
Republicans, and the better the Republican victory
which all these dscords will advance-tbe better
Will the discoutented Democrats feel over the re-
suit Besides, many Catholcs-even clergymen-
will refuse to vote for Barr will vote for Butler,
to punish Barr for uucoverlng their interference in
political affairs. They do not object, and seldom
neglect to take hand in politics, but they always
work in secret, and are furious at Barr for taking
the lid oft their boiling pot. These elemens-all in
our favor and all hurtful to the Democracy-fur-
nish good grounds for anticipating large gain for
our party on Tuesday next; and yet no judicious
and prudent man will undertake to put down In
figures Just what that advantage will sum up.
This will put you in possession of the reasons
which make us feel certain and we venture to
hope that they will remove any doubts of Repub-
hcan victory here that may have been aroused by
Washington gossip and unfortifed assertions of
danger. Yours truly b.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 81, 1870.
