torcblight procession when it is expected there will
he : 900 Republicans IN line; and political meet
ing will be held which will be addressed by United
States Senators Miller and LaphGm, and ex-Gov-
ernor Van Zandt of Rhode Island.
The scene of to-day in these Is but repet-
ton of what might have been witnessed every dog
since the nomination of Mayor Cleveland. OF Buff
falo for Governor by the Democrats. That nom-
nation forced the Republican leaders to make
phenomenal efforts 20 secure votes for the Republic

Morgan, the chairman of the Republican County
Committee. with his unshaven face and haggard
look appeared to-day as if he had hardly had sleep
since Cleveland's nomination. He said: We have
labored night aud day. At first you would
have thought that every man In Erie
County was going TO vote for Cleveiand'
But we have turned the tide. We have Folger
club that numbers $500 members. aud other ke-
publican voters are promising us hearty support i
doubt now if Mr.. Cleveland carries Erie County"
Mr. SchermerhorII, one of the employees OF the
committee, then said 1--WE have rather enjoyed
this uphill work, just as Horace Greeley used to en-
Joy it. Did you ever hear that story r
No" replied The TRIBUNE correspondent, TO
whom the question was addressed
well, it was this way" said Mr.. Schermerh orn
whose gray hair tells of his old age" it was this
way: Mr. Greeley. about 1S45. came to Canaan
daigua to give lecture temperance. While he
was standing on the hotel steps waiting for car
rage to take him to the lecture hail. old sea cap
tain hob5ed up and said abruptly: Mr.. Greeley,
that's a fine paper of yours The TRIBUNE, but
You'll find this Fourierism and Abolltionism an
uphill business Mr.. Greeley whirled around and
looking at the mau smiled sweetly, as you know he
would, and said: An uphill business That's
lust the kind of business / like to do''
The Central Folger Club, of which Mr.. Morgan
spoke boasts of having $500 names on its
rolls Its members can be met everywhere
about the city, wearing large brass shield IN
the face Of which is cut an - the letter being
made conspicuous by being painted red. Every
ward of Buffalo and town in the County of Erie out
side the city has been thoroughly canvassed for
votes for Folger by the members of this club. Mr..
Morgan, who was appointed a Canal Appraiser by
Governor Cornell has by his energetic work for the
ticket red other Cornell men TO follow his example
Still the Anti-Admnstration Republicans of the
county say that all this expenditure Of energy has
had no effect towards gaining votes for FOlger The
members of the Central Folger Club they say
are those Republicans who always vote the party
ticket; that these men are well known to the man
ayers of the Republican machine" and can
be swiftly enrolled in any club; that many
of the members of the Climb are
Democrats under pay and that at least 800 Of the
OH, 4,
Custom House from the Post Office, etc. sherman
S Rogers. who may be considered The leader of the
Anti-AdminIstration Republicans said few days
ago to your correspondent: All this talk about
reaction is part of the machine tactics. They al
ways attempt to end campaign with boom for
their candidates. There has been no reaction.
Steadily Republican opinion against the State

audience r$@bonsive TO all my criticisms Of tho
method by which the Saratoga ticket was noml-
mated. WhAespecially attracted my attention was

Arthur Administration. / found the feeling In
jamestown very bitter against the FOger ticket,
and was told the feeling extended throughout the
county. You know that the usual Republican ma

asked the best-informed politician in the county,
man of National fame. what in his
judgment the Republican majority would be- He is
of a somewhat foxy nature. He replied: We'll,
some people say II will be 900; sanguine per-
sons about 1000, and some well Informed people
about 1,OOOD Whatever rally has been
made here has been due greatly to the wretchcd

the Democrats James y. Warren, treasurer of the
Republican state Committee, the leader OF the Ad-
ministratiou Republicans of the county, saw that
this gave him an opportunity to secure some votes
