These counties give large Republican majOrities.
There as elsewhere Mr.. Lincoln was almost the sole
choice for Vice-Presdent. In Lawrence County,
for instance. lob ballots were cast at the prma
Sies in favor of the nomination OF Mr.. Lincoln FOR
ylce-President. and only II for other candidates.
In Union County out of total of $50 votes he re-
ceyed 91Q In nearly all cases the instructions
given by the County Conventions have been for
Blaine and Lincoln In Media and in other counties
there was not a single dissenting voice.
Twenty out of the twenty-five district delegates SO
far elected TO the Chicago Convention are in favor
of Blaine The six delcgates-at-laree viii he IN the
same column At least one half OF the district dele
gates to be chosen at Harrisburg to represent the
Philadelphia Congressional Districts at Chicago
will be for Blaine. United States Marshal Rutan
of Pttsburg one of Mr.. CamcrOn's lieutcnants
estimated recently that ont of the sixty delegates
from the State to the Chicago Convention only
about ten would oppose the nomination of Mr..
Blaine Il is probable that unless there Is IeacAeIy
not so many will act in opposition to the clearly
expressed wishes of the majority OF the Republicans
Of the state.
TlIE MACHINE OvERTHRowN
The unapimty of feeling in favor of Mr. Blaine
And the enthusiasm OF Lis supporters is all the more
significant because Senator CameTons lieutenant5
and tLe Federal ohice-holders have laborcd dill
gently to bring about a different result The party
machinery and the patronage WAS IN their hands.
Opposed to them was the strong sentiment OF the
pcope vigorously led by The IhiiGdcphjd Press. In
behalf OF President Arthur, Mr. Quay, Nj. Magee
and the other eutenants of Mr.. Cameron have been
actively at work. He has given them support by
nominating such persons as MI QnaN designated 10
fill vacant Federal Offices. 1t is probable that were
il not for the influence of the Federal officials ircsi-
dent Arthur would not receive single vote at
Chicago from this State Bat a, rule the Federal
official, have not been a active TINS year as
formerly The results will be very meagrc for the
President unless there is trcachery. That is
question which is giving concern to the friends of
Mr. Blaine.
FEAR OF BETRAYAL.
Congressman Bayne, of Pttsburg, was IN the city
yesterday and he said that systematic effort was
being made By Quay, Magee and the Cameron mon
in general to secure the organization of the conyen
ton al Harrisburg, and turn it to their own pur-
poses. senator Emory and Senator Stewart have
recently expressed themselves as aware of the
scheme. Friends of Cameron have secured IN more
than one instance an election to the State COnven-
tion under pretence of being in favor of Blaine.
They will 20 there and vote for delegates-at large
who Will favor the nomination ol Mi: Blame. but
having done that they will claim that they nave
obeyed the instructions OF their constituents. they
may vote against instructng the deIegatesat large
To vote for Nlr Blaine and will assist MIR. Cameron
is retaining control OF the state Committee The
purpose is also 10 elect Cameron man chairman oil
lie convention under the plea that matters OF or
ganiZatOn do not affect the man question OF
nominating Mr. Blaine. OF course the effect of this
wonld be 10 soften the Cameron defeat, and assist
him in his purpose of elOctlng sufficient number OF
representatives TO the Legislature this year 10
secure his return to the United States Senate
DELEGATES WHO SOLD THEIR CREDENTIALS.
1t is extremely doubtful if sufficient number OF
delegates will dare to betray their constituents at
Harrisburg 70 assist the Cameron leaders IN desper
ote attempt to retain control of the State Organiza
ton. in Allegheny County Mr.. Magec secured his
electio a. a delegate to Chicago by such tactics.
Two DELEGATES to the district convention who were
elected "a, Blaine men sold their credentials. Mr..
Magee defended their action by asserting that they
Were guilty OF no more serious offence shan leading
their constituents to believe that they for
RlaiDe when they were not. On tins and other
grounds Magce's election to Chicago will be con-
tested and there will be similar contest at Harris
burg Ii Is by sdch means that the Cameron men
hone to secure advantage at Harrisburg.
Marshal Rutan sand recently that the large majority
of the Harrisburg Convention Will he for Blame,
and added But twO-thrds of them III spite Of that
are friends of Quay and Magee. and Will give Magee
fair treatment . $3.50, ,....
venfiors in many instances, to require the dele
gates to sign pledge TO act for Blame before de-
fyering the credentials. In other cases the hstIuc-
tons have been embodied III the credentials. But
in the case of delegates TO the state Convention
that has frequently been neglected. CohgIeoeiHau
Bayne SAYS that the Republican voters are so de
cldedlv fOI Blaine that unless there Is wholesale De
travail the convention VIII be as distinctly Tor INN
at every step. But now that public attention mas
been called TO this scheme II Will be more dlhcult
70 carry 1t out.
