The INDEPENDENT or ant!-machine wing of tn

The independent or ant.-machine wing Of the re-
publican party In Pennsylvania is daily making
converts, unless its organs are very much de-
ceived 1t Is estimated that not less than hun
dred thousand republican voters are now openly
committed to the support of the independent
ticket, and those identified with the movement
claim that this number viii increase rather than
diminish. Last year Mr. Wolfe, for state treasurer
though self-nOminated, pOlled fifty thousand
votes This year many republicans, some OF them
men OF prominence and acknowledged influence,
who last year opposed Wolfe, are actively sup
porting the independent ticket. The breach In the
party has widened, visibly, since the nomination
of an Independent ticket, and it is now predicted
that the two factions will antagOnize each other
even in the election OF county officers; that the in
dependents will weaken the machine whenever
the nomination OF an opposing republican ticket
can effect that Meantime the democrats are
busily engaged in trying to harmonic the hitherto
unruly elements OF their own party. 1t seems to
be recognized as fact that ex-senator Wallace Is
already candidate for Mr.. Don Cameron's seat IL
the Senate. One-half of the state senate to be
elected next fall will hold over until 1884 and will,
consequently, participate in the election OF Mr..
Camerons successor. Mr.. Randall, the ex-speaker,
is the recognized leader OF one wing OF the democ
racy and Mr.. Wallace of the other. Ii they agree
upon matters OF party interest in the pending
campaign they will probably be able to muster
their party in pretty solid column.
