AT HEADQUARTERS.
TIE BRIGHT DEMOCkATlC OUTLOOK.
What Hensel Thinks Of the STATE Campaign
-Encouraging; keports from Every
District-Tho Tariff Bugaboo.
To reporter of the Philadelphia Ecen.
ing Telegraph yesterday Chairman w. u.
Hensel, being interrogated as to the state
campaign and the effect of the Republican
local nominations in Philadelphia. said:
"The local nominations as whole will
not strengthen the state ticket. The no.
limitations in this city cannot meet with
the approval of the Committee of One
Hundred. and that fact will not benefit the
ticket. understand that Mr.. Keim's
nomination was after forms that have been
in vogue here for some time, modes that
the people have already condemned. But
Republican blunders cannot be turned to
advantage unless the Democrats act with
wisdom. l understand that it is the deter.
mination of the Democracy to sink all
personal considerations; and to make such
nominations as will command the support
of the people. Iu the degree that they do
this the Democratic ticket will be
strengthened.
my advices arc that the Democrats have
made good nominations, and there arc
few districts in which the state ticket is
weakened by weak local nominations or
by party disorganization. Mr.. Schnatter-
| ly, who comes from one of tho senatorial
districts in which the DemOcra is have not
como to conclusion, assures me that in
no event will the election of Democratic
senator in that district be endangered.
He will make any personal sacrifice neces-
sary to prevent the Republicans from
making gain. am sure the Adams and
Cumberland senatorial district will not be
lost to the Democrats. My reports from
Allegheny are that tho local nominations
there give universal satisfaction to every
element Of the party. have reason to
believe that Mr.. Hopkins will accept the
congressional nomination, and will lead
the fight in Western Pennsylvania. All
Of the Democratic county conventions
have now been held except in Huntingdon
and the new committees appointed. l
regard the organization in the state as
complete and have every reason to believe
that the work of paying taxes aud effect
ing naturalization is being attended to. !"

their eyes to his supreme seliishness, and
hundreds of Republican manufacturers
aud representatives of Pennsylvania are in
the Independent ranks. Tho Stalwarts
have not been able to WOO them back, nor
to intimidate Democrats.
The Democratic platform declares for
tho protection of Pennsylvania industries
and tho representatives of Pennsylvania
Democracy in Congress have never failed
to stand up for them. Mr.. Wallace in tho
Senate and Randall as the Democratic
leader of tho House were far moro potcn-
tial for Pennsylvania best interests than
all the Cameron crowd, who have never
commanded respect or influence at Wash
ingtOu because of their complete subser-
viency to the boss and their easy transfer
by him to any purpose he may have in
view. Mr.. Elliott, our candidate for con-
large, has unequivOcally dc
clared himself for the protection of Penn
sylvania industries and for such tariff as
will givc ample protection to the work
ingman and a fair profit to the manufac-
turer. Less than this no representative
Pennsylvania Democrat will demand and
more no elector has 4 right to ask. The
people of all the state have confidence
that with such line of congressman rs
the Democracy will present-ElliOtt, Ran
dali, Mutchlcr, ErmentrOut, Mccormick,
Curtin, Hopkins, Boyle, Cotfroth, Plumcr
and others ers-Pennsylvania interests will be
far better taken care of than in the
keeping OF reckless political adven.
turers like Don Cameron and his
body servants, Sam Barr and Russell
Erett. Oh mo; Cooper's tariff screens
have not been any more effective than his
defamation of PattisOn's father or his H.
lustration of Beavers executive capacity
by his administration of the Agricultural
college. The truth is that tho Republican
campaign managers have put too low an
estimate on the intelligence of tho people
of the state. Pennsylvanians know that
this is a contest for honest state govern
ment against Cameronism, and they are
not to be misled by an attempt to create
fictitious issues Cameron will not he
able to drag down the protection Of Penn
sylvania industries ny identifying it with
his failing cause"
Mr.. Hensel told a Times reporter that
" the exposure of the Delaney business,
has pretty we'll scared Cameron and his
aids out Of the notion of buying Demo-
cratic votes. Their latest scheme in the
country districts is to got Democrats to
stay away from the polls. They arc try
ing to induce them to sulk in their tents,
by all sorts of reasoning to tho effect that
there are no great issues at stake in this
campaign. The plan will not work
There will be a very large vote pollcd in
the state, as tho influences at work in the
respective parties arc such as invariably
bring the voters out.'
