THE VIEWS OF SENATOR MITCHELL.
TIE PHILADELPHIA TICKET TIE TRUE REPUBLICAN,
TICKET-THE SPLIT LIKELY TO EXTEND TO THE
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS.
lBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l
WASHINGTON May 27.-Judging from present ap-
pearances in Washington there is probability of
a new Republican Convention in Pennsylvania.
Senator Cameron is represented being exceed
ingy bitter in his expressions toward the Independ-
ents and in declaring that there shall be no conpro-
mise. At the time there are indications that his
favorite policy of trading with the Democrats viii
be attended with unusual difficulty this year. mas
much rs tho Democrats undoubtedly believe they
carry the State.
Senator Mitchell was asked this evening how he
would feel regarding an offer of a new convention
lie said THAT would be matter TO be deter
L
know nothing as to Mr. Camer6n's feelings except
what l sec in the newspapers l should think 1t
possible, but not probable, that such an offer will
be made All the newspapers represent that Mr..
Cameron is not disposed to favor it. For myself,
should not suppose that the Independents would
be inclined to make any compromise whatever.
The best way to settle the difficulty Will be
to withdraw the Harrisburg ticket. The Philadel-
phia tickets the true Republican ticket, nominated
in u Republican way. Tho Philadelphia platform
is far better than the Harrisburg platform The
differences are radical"
"What Is your judgment on tho Philadelphia
Convention ~
"It a earnest, enthusiastic, popular up
rising. have attended great many State Con
ventIons but never saw one that exhibited so
much earnestness and enthusiasm that one. 1t
was made up OF representative men from every part
of the State-Inen Of Intelligence and independ-
ence-men who are not likely to Yield their
convictions 80 that ! hardly see how they should
be disposed 10 give mp the principles they have set
down in their platform, or to cede any thing as
against the ticket they have nominated"
Is there any reason to fear that the DIVISION IN
Pennsylvania may extend to the nominations for
Congress = go
There is some. While this is properly a State
issue-aud shonld like to see it confined there-lt
will affect the elections for Congress more or less
That will depend largely upon the character
of the men selected as nominees. III the
independent sentiment of the state Is dlsre-
garded in selecting candidates. 1t quite likely taI
the division will extend TO members of Congress be-
fore we get TO the day OF election. hope great
care will be taken i'll selecting men of such charac-
ter that there can be reasonable objection TO
them by independents. One trouble heretofore has
been that members of Congress from our State have
been too much controlled by this power which the
independents are determined to put down IN Penn
