for the Democratic ticket, and the disai.

According to one Of our exchanges a

The action Of the Hon. LEosARD JER-
ONE, Of New York. in declaring Tor HAN
COCK in public letter, Ia significant a.
indicating the drift Of the leading class
Of independent Republicans. Mr., JkR'

Republican politics Of that State, and

heves the Republican party has been
misled for years, aud failed to re-
spond Ia convictions OF the honest con
sentative masses, that now an opportu'
nifty is afforded to place thu govcrnmen,
beyond the reach Of plunderers, and re-
store il to its old-time honorable posi-

The indifference, II not the sulkiness,
Of the GRANT factions Is also u cause ol
great perturbation In the Republican
ranks. They have turned their backs
upon GARFISID's pathetic pleas Tor

White sulphur for year tn come, AMI
Republican politicians have about aban'
doned hope that he can be- induced to
accept the position at all.
Under this state of things, "Pennsyl-
vania." says the Philadelphia Tunes,
"has become q doubtful State, AMI only
the hearty cooperation Of the GAMER

the Chicago ticket. Il is a case OF "iielp

lican organization in Pennsylvania, aud

ramiIications, the Republican machinery

"Before Hancock \ nomination, SAYS
an exchange, "and still more openly
after II, Senator WALLACE talked at Gin
cinuati a. II he had pretty clear un
derstanding with the CaaERoN's that
Pennsylvania WAS to be left To itself this
year 10y the Republican machine. The
strong language used by the National
Republican League in its address may
be- based ON information Of tho same
sort"
These facts show that not only IN the
outlook in Pennsylvania a little cloudy,
hut the whole aspect of the Republican
campaign discloses condition Of affairs
that Is unquestionably serious.
Since the above was in type, We have
the letter of Dos. CAuEROs positively
declining the craftsmanship of the Ma
tinnal Committee.
