The prestige of victory, it will be seen,
is with Kaufman "by large majority"
and with the odds of 1900, in his favor,
with the increase of anti-Cameron senti-
ment in four years and a United Statos
senator "out" in q letter in his behalf,
Kaufman ought to have q walk over. But
in his previous campaign he had tho
valuable help of that powerful Mentzer-
McMellen combination then associated
with the Nesc Era faction, now divorced
from it, and, though Sensenig has since
gone over to the New Era party, he is, for
some reason with Stehman in this
fight and he seems to hold tho
balance of power. Some of the politicians
can make capital in their districts with the
"regulars " out of kauffman's bolt at
Harrisburg last winter, and good many
people who have co-Operated with the
NeU Era faction heretofore are disguised
at the way in which most of its victories
and the candidates it helped to elect have
turned out and have lost interest in the
preteDsions of Reform to reform. These
various influences operating against Kauf-
man will reduce his majority in nearly all
the districts in which four years ago he led
his opponent heavily chiefly, however,
will his losses be due to the solidity of
the many politicians against him
and their superior advantages in
the upper district. In Columbia he
will gain and probably reverse the major
ity against him there four years ago, but
Stehman will make this up by a materi-
ally increased vote in the Hempfelds. In
Conoy the Re-formers will make further
inroads on Fred. Smith, but Stehman will
gain in Marietta. In all the Mount Joy
districts he viii do better than in 1878 !;
In Sporting Hill, Union Square, Cernar-
Won and Upper Leacock. nearly solid for
Kaufman four years ago, because tho
politicians who controlled them were
for him, Stehman will gain largely !;
in Ephrata, tho Cocalicos, Clay and
Warwick, where Kaufman then had
the advantage, tho united support of
Mentzer, Sensenig and Eberly will now
transfer that advantage to Stehman. In
Mannheim township Hunsecker's candidacy
for Congress will help Stehman; and in
the three Earls, where even Sheriff Highs
influence is expected to be not used greatly
to Stehman's 8 disadvantage, much of Kauf-
mans large majority of 1873 will be wiped
out. All these reversals are too much for
him to stand and, with the desperation
and resources of the Cameron faction
antagonizing him, Mr.. Kaufman will win
brilliant and unexpected victory if he
pulls through to-day.
Tho Contest for Assembly.
Snadcr, Eshleman and Courtney, of tho
Cameron ring ticket, have the prestige
of success and the advantage of combi-
nation with Stehman but if Sensenig
stands by the Ne,o Era ticket for legisla-
ture. its chances may be better than Kauff-
mans, and Blough (if not Eberly). may
worry one of the Examiner faction. In tho
lower district Peoples has the best of it.,
and since the other faction have concen-
trated on Heidelbaugh and the tavern
keepers arc solid against tandis, tho latter
may be beaten. The New Era says :
"Henry Worst jr., got worsted in the
conference of local bosses held at Chris
or Milt. Heidelbaugh should be slated on
the Cameron legislative ticket with Hiram
Peoples. Calvin Carter, Samuel Slokom,
Thomas McGowen and William McGowen
were the Heidelbaugh conferees and
Thomas McNeal and Henry Kurtz ap-
peared for Worst. Of course, tho Sads-
dury quartet were too sharp for the
Salisbury boys, who were made to be-
lieve that the only way to hurt John II.
Lands was to haul Worst off and concen-
trate tho Cameron vote on Peoples and
Heidelbaugh."
For Recorder and Solicitor.
The New Era, which was "furninst :"
Fry for solicitor and Longenecker for re-
cOrder, three years ago, is now for them !;
and tho Examiner is vice persa, call on
account" of Sensenig. As he is for Steh-
man it is pretty hard to see what the Neo
Era faction is getting for its support of
his men for recorder and solicitor. 1t
looks as if Sensenig had tho oyster on his
fork this campaign and was willing to let
each of the newspaper factions have one of
tho shells. Either or both may cheat him
and he may cheat either or both. It.
is certain that nobody seems to
know which name will come out
of the hat for. either of these Offices, and
with Sensenig as the connecting link {"
between the two rings, it is difficult to
predict the result. 1t is significant, how
ever, that both sides seem to have con-
fidence in his resources and in his good
faith !; and it is rumored that as the
Examiner faction sold out Sensenig's
man Eberly for Mylin to McMellen two
years ago, they will now, in turn, sell out
McMellen's man Myers for Stehman to
Sensenig. Tonight will tell who's been
cheated.
The large mass of voters are Indifferent
on the rest of the list of candidates.
Smiths nomination being foregone con-
clusion-and it will be good deal of a
scratch who carries the tail of the ticket.
