WASHINGTON, juno 5.-Within tho pas.
few days n statement purportiug 10 be from
Mr.. Cooper, Of the Republican Central
Committee Of Pennsylvania, 10 the effect
that Senator llawlcy, ex-senator Blaine
and other prominent persons would stump
that State for the Republican ticket, was
published in Philadelphia paper. Senator
Mitchell, Of Pennsylvania, being asked this
evening about the statement, said: "In
my judgment 1t is unfounded. This l
known ms TO several Of tho gentlemen men.
toned by Mr.. Cooper. From convcrsa.
tions that ! have had with other gentle.
men named by him believe II to be un.
true as TO them. think these gentlemen
had better understand that this Is q
Republican family difficulty, In which they
should not seek to. meddle. II they do It
will only strengthen the Independent
party, and the battle will open all along
the limo III dead earnest. II they think It
is OF advantage TO the StnlwArt oljgarchy In
Pennsylvania for them to intermed,lle,
speaking for myself, and, rs | understand
it, Tor the Independents, | am PERFECTLY
willing they should do so. This will define
the issue and draw straight line between
the stalwarts and independents, and when
That is done the people will take care Of it.
II they open the battle on that side, there
will be enough prominent Republicans
from other States TO take up the gauntlet
and give them war to their hearts content,
Tie independent movement in Penusyl-
vnnia has already assumed proportions
which the most sanguine OF them do not
expect 1t is the peoples cause md they
Mrc determined to take care OF it. think
the statement to which you alIude is Il
game oil brag ou the part OF MIR. Cooper,
set up for popular effect. But it will full OF
its purpose, as all such tricks do, + II tho
Stalwart Republicans OF Pennsylvania want
to carry the election for the party this year,
they can come over 10 the Independents
and thereby win tie election. They can
not do itotherwisc. Think the S,aliwarts
will surrender in good time Buff they
do not, they will have 10 submit to an in
glorious defeat, well deserved. So far rs
Alr. Elaine is concerned there is no doubt
where his sympathies lie, hut l do not
think he hasnny intention OF meLlliny in
our affairs in PENNSYLVANIA. II lie takes
Mny part, MIR. Cooper, and ali like Mr..
Cooper, may US well make up their minds
first US last TINT it will NOT be Oh their side.
The nomination of General Garfield was Il
victory for the popular rights OF the Repub.
lican party, and the friends OF Mr.. Blaine
uid more than any others 10 achieve it. The
staiwart Republican oligarehy now seeks
to turn that victory into defeat in Pennsvl.
yanla, and also in the country at large.
That cannot be doncand will not be submit.

lnthe Congressional Districts. ii the lsppub.
llcaEs nominate for Congress men who
have no opinion Of their own, the Inde-
pcndents may not be willing 10 support
them. Dut hope That good men who are
acceptable 10 the Independents will be
nominated in every Congressional district,
anu IN that way they will make their cleo
ton sure where the Republicans have n
majority My desire is that this contest
small be limited to the Stale ticket. SO that
