the asplrants for state hon0rs in ou
party, neither did / make mention o
the Democracy's representatives
therefore in the present letter l viii
endeavor to note all Of the former left
out IS we'll as those mentioned by the
latter. From the present outlook
Beaver will be the candidate for Gov.
ernor, but who will ell the other pusi.
tions has not yet been settled. Jerome
B. Niles, of Tioga, prominent mem.
Der of the Legislature, is casting long.
Jog eyes on the Lieut.. .Governnrship,
and as be is in a favorable locality
and stands we'll with both wings of the
party there is no reason why he
shouldn't be rather hopeful of success.
He was mainly instrumental in max
ing Mitchell U. S. Senator and will
therefore have his support. A man of
commanding presence, good lawyer,
an able debater, and pleasant gen.
tleman socially, Mr.. Miles stands
formidable candidate. The genial
Lucius Rogers. of Mexican Co., pres.
ent Deputy Secretary of Internal
Affairs, and Secretary of the State
Committee, who has larger &C.
qualntance than any man in the State,
Is likely to be a candidate for Secre.
sary of Internal Affairs, and as he
comes frorn the heart of the oil
country there is good showing in his
favor, as your country is as bad as the
"State of Allegheny" in its demand
for recognition. However the northern
tier can't have Niles and Rogers too, SO
one of the gentlemen will "get left"
Pomeroy, editor of the Franklin Re-
pos'tory, and member of the House.
claims the credit of naming Beaver
for Governor, and on the strength of
It, 1t is said, wants to be made Secre.
ssry of Internal Affairs; it is due the
gentleman to say that be VOWS Re is
not candidate. The writer bad a
t.lk with Att'Y-Gen. Palmer a short
.ime ago and in answelto the question
ss to whether he was a candidate for
Governor, he replied, he was not, and
or two reasons, the first of which was
hat he didn't want it; tho second
hat even if he did he couldn't get it.
s in the first place no couldn't get the
omiuation and in the second, even
t ne did ne couldn't be elected. "I
M" said he, "in answering your
usstions in 'lections, like the man
ho refused to play poker for seven
sasons. When asked what they
ere ne began by saying the first is
have no money Never mind the
ther 0ix,' said the questioner."
The other side, commonly called the
dnterri6ed." have also long list to
1oose from, the principal of whom
re candidates for the Governorship.
Philadelphia City Controller Pattison
sads the list, followed by Congress-
an Hopkins of Pittsburgh, and State
'nator Coke, OF LSEerne Co., who re
sed to take the oath of Office of Sen.
or because he thought he had used
oney improperly during the cam.
ign, and again went before his con.
ltuents and was reelected. Besides
above, occasional mention is made
Franklin B. Gowen of the Reading
X, Ex.Cougressman Maish, Con.
essmen Ermantrout, Ex.Gov. Cur.
o, Hester Clymer and Andrew H.
II. As the two latter have each had
chance at it and failed it is not
ely. they will again have the priv.
Sc of leading their party to defeat.
e four candidates first named are at
,seet receiving the greatest amount
attention. OF these Mr.. Pattison
ex-senator Wallace might, if
ced at the head Of the ticket, be the
vocation Of more or less factional
iie. The strongest candidate of the
ole batch is Senator Coke, and
at this early day it is safe to say
viii e0ter the convention with
Ferful following. Congressman
pkins viii also, no doubt, make ss
,ng a fight as be did at the conven-
h of 1873. WARREN.
