THE PENNSYLVANIA CANVASS.
THE OUTLOOK FOR To-MORRow's CONTEST.

Independent Republican and the Democratic state
Committees are as active in this State ever
Senator Cameron's visit to New:York last week,
when he collected $6OO 900 for use In this state,
was the means of reviving somewhat the acuVitym
his commttee-room 1t is said here on good author'
ity that Mr. Cameron secured that money from
prominent friends of the Administration upon 'ne
urgent representation that with 1t and with what
more he could collect here there would be chance
to elect Beaver, which would make him an availa'
bic stawart candidate for President in 1884 as
all hope OF the election of Folger abandoned.
Cameron secured altogether 100000. which Is
now being distributed over the State.
The resignation Of Secretary Quay has enraged
many Machine men and and aroused the lndepend-
ents. They say that his telegram is proof THAI
he has given up all hope for BeaverssS oionei

ring which the Committee of One Hundred has
nearly destroyed has also resigned as member OF

General Beaver closed his remarkable canvass
Yesterday In one of his classical speeches. In whcn
he alluded to the Independent leaders as mon
tired of sucking a dry teat and trying 10 reach
another" This is not quite equal to that other
speech In which he is quoted follows So The ln'

casses" lie has now gone home to vote.
No accurate estimate can be madG OF the resulh
In this city the Independent vote, 1t Is claimed,
will reach 25,000. Wolfe polled 14722,
part Of which vote was cast by Demo-
Gratis In Allegheny County the Cameron pol
shows vote for Stewart of $500, against 0'945
cast there for Wolfe. The Independent poll shows
about l5 900 votes there for Stewart IL Franklin
County, where Wolfe had 147 votes, Mr. Hanp-
mau the chairman Of the Cameron County Com
mitteo, says that stewart will get lOOo
votes; the Independents claim $500. In Le-
high where Wolfe had only 81 votes the machine
men concede a small Independent gain In Berks
County the Cameron committee concede gain for
Stewart of 90 per cent over Wolfe. In Crawford
County. where Wolfe received 800 votes, the Cam
eron leaders concede 1000 for Stewart. In Pike,
small county, where WOltes vote was 8, the Beaver
leaders cOucede 75 to Stewart. Ii Is evident there
fore by these isolated instances where the Cameron
| leaders have made known their knowledge OF the
probable result that the Wolfe vote of 10000 VIII
| be more than doubled.
