The Pennsylvania Campaign.
from the New York Tribune


From the New York Tribune.1
The campaign is not yet fairly un-
der way, and thousands of Repub-
licans have not decided which way
they will vote. 1t is absured for Mr..
Cooper to presume to know in advance
just how every Republican in the
State will vote two months hence.
He fails to take into account at all the
vast silent votes which is such an Inn
portant factor in contest like this.
may include thousands and may in
clude only hundreds, of Republicans
who will say nothing about their in
tention, but will go quietly to the
polls and vote against boss rule. The
machine managers got an inkling of
the structive possibilities of this vote
on Saturday when they heard from
their effort to defeat Congressman
Bayne's denomination. They used
the full power of the machines, State
and National, to crush Mr.. Bayne,
and were able to elect only fifteen out
of l29 delegates. That ought to show
them that the people are thinking for
themselves this year.
We do not believe for a moment
that the Cameron managers are de.
eeiving themselves. They are too
shrewd politicians not to take into
account all the factors in the problem.
What they actually believe is very
different from what they profess in
public. 1t seems to US that the calcu-
lation which our correspondent sends,
In letter printed elsewhere, comes
much nearer the truth than any other
which has been put forth by either
faction. According to that the con-
test is likely to be an exceedingly
close one, and If general Beaver Is
elected he will squeeze in by very
small plurality. The author of the
calculation shows how the Cameron
leaders hope to secure the plurality
by buying Democratic votes. This is
not the first time this plan has been
broached. 1t was put out several
weeks ago from Washington in the
form of an assertion that Senator
Cameron knew he would have nc
trouble in buying enough Democratic
votes to elect his ticket The last
hope of the machine rests, therefore
on the pecuniary resources of the boss
and their purchasing power in the
ranks of the glorious Democracy. Al
this distance this looks like very
slim hope, unless Democrats are sell
ing at the rate of three for dollar.

Governor Cornell made gains In
the selection Of delegates for the New
York Republican Convention at th'
end of last week, and of the LAG dele
gates elected to date he has 81, Judg,
Folger Sc, and Comptroller Wads
worth 81, with doubtful. Governor
Cornell's strength comes so far from {
group of counties in the centre of th'
State, Secretary Folger's from tn,
large cities, and Mr.. Wadsworth
from Oneida and the southwestern
corner of the State. The last-name(
candidate appears to have no strength
in the eastern part of the State, ant
the fact that he drew double pay a
Comptroller and Congressman il
likely to have a bad effect on hi
canvass. The general outlook of th'
canvass remains unchanged.
