WASHINGTON, May 10.
Yourconespondenthad atalk, this morn
Ing, with Pennsylvania Congressman,
appointment anti.Cameron man, about the
situation in Pennsylvania. He says there
can be no doubt OF the strength and pur-
pose Of the Independent movement in that
State; that it means separate ticket; that
inleans business, and that business is the
smashing OF the Machine. lie says that
this movement is one representing very
large degree Of tho ability, enterprise and
wealth OF the Republican party in that
State; that when ii crystalizes into an or
ganiation and gets properly TO work, the
country will be surprised ut its strength
and character. I'd
Senator Mitchell has left for home, and
will be 4 delegate 10 tho State Convention
at Philadelphia on the 9th instant. He
may now be regarded rs the leader in the
revolt against Machine rule. Everything
seems to indicate convention Of eminent
reSpectability in numbers and character,
and that lie Independent movement is not
one Of small proportions. It has grown
considerably since last year, when Wolfe
"as selt.nominated candidate.
1t understood now that grave polite al
results arc ut stake and the contest
will be far more animated and bitter than
twas last year. sit. 45ss j. .FI5
An Independent ticket in the field viii
imperil the Republican ascendaucy, and q
loss Of the State at this time will be equiva'
lent to the defeat Of Cameron in 1885 ant
the loss Of the House in the next Congress!
TO the Republicans, and, perhaps, invite
the defeat Of the National Republican
ticket in 1854. It is needless to discus:
who is responsible for this condition o
Affairs. One thing OF which the anti
Cameron men complain here is that they
fave been utterly ignored by the Presidcn
regarding all appointments made in theil
s'a'e. They say that suggestion Of Mitch
ell or Eayyne, in resard to appointments
carries no weight whatever with the Presi
dent. They accept the situation as givin
TO cameron the control Of tho patronag
and the naming Of all appointments il
their State and, further, that this mean
political death to every man who is ar
ant'Cameron man, or who was a supporte
Of Garfield i'll the late fight which the dca'
PRESIDENT had with Conklins 4 Co. The
calm that all the appointments made b
