wnkesbarre Unicn-Leasler's Interview with
Hon. Charles h. Buckalew.
81 think it an excellent ticket, +" was tho
response. "The convention could not
well have made a better ticket"
. Corr:M"Ihen you are acquainted with
Mr.. B.-"Yes, know them al. Each
is we'll fitted for tho station for which he
has been named. Mr.. Pattison has made
a most excellent record and developed NO
weaknesses. Mr. Black has much of the
,f0rpe Of character apd other elements OF
his father's 8 strength. Mr.. Africa has beer
tried and not found wanting. With Mr..
Clark and Mr.. Elliott sat in the cOnsti-
tutional convention, where I came to
know; them Doth ,iatimately. M. Clsrk's
father was James Clark also, Of Indiana
county. He was member of the consti-
tutional convention of 1888 and therein did
excellent service. He was afterwards q
canal commissioner and left the board
with high credit, q something not q few Of
thos6 1ho ieh that ioaition failed to do. !.
The son was highly esteemed by his col.
leagues in the '73 convention. He is
frss class lawyer and if elected, al he
ought to be, will make universally ratis-
factory judge. Mr.. Elliott is what they
call down east smart man. by which l
mean, not merely book learned, but man
of powerful intellect, bright by nature.
He is man who would make his influence
felt in Congress, aud I shall take great
pleasure in giving him my support
Corr" You are not then, Mr.. Bucka-
lew, among those who believe that Mr..
Pattis0n's being young man will be
against him? You are veteran in party
and public service and should know
whether any of tie older element of the
party will refuse to support him on that
Mr.. B.-''Not at ali! Not at all Mr..
Pattison is all right, If he is , young
man he has accomplished q great deal Of
good, for which he deserves to be reward
ed. l have yet to hear the first Democrat,
old or young, say he will vote against him
on any account. In fact all seem, not only
satisfied, but especially well pleased with
his nomination. In this county the party
is entirely harmonious and hopeful. We
shall, as usual, beat the enemy two to one
when the polling day comes, and perhaps
do better.
Corr.-"How is the split in the Repub-
Aic0u OIS0ulZdI1Ous d yOu VloW u, uAOly
to affect the result2'
Mr.. B.-"It will enhance. or rather has
enhanced, the chances of Democratic sue
cess not so much because there is reason
to believe that the vote of the Independents
will be a very large vote, as on account of
the Democratic hopes inspired by the de-
moralization in the ranks Of our opponents
and out Of which will come fuller Dem
ocratic poll than could otherwise be Sc
cured. When I was . candidate for gov
ern0r there were forty thousand Demo-
Gratis who would not vote for Greeley and
hence failed to come to the polls at all.
Had received those forty thousand votes
l would have been elected"
Corr" Do you believe then that there
are enough Democratic votes in tho state
to win, if they can be properly organized
and held to their duty.
Mr.. B." do. I certainly do. Ere.
quent defeat has disheartened many of
our people. The Republicans corrupt
others, who could not, perhaps, be cor
rupted, did they not feel, though wrongly,
that voting the Democratic ticket would
be throwing their strength away. There
is more hopefulness this year, and less
probability, on that account, of this class
Of our people being bought away from
MS or entrapped into side movements.
With first rate organization all over the
state and and vigorous campaign, We have
an excellent chance of electing our
ticket" -' - "
