PHILADELPHIA, Sept. A.--The Republican
State central committee met here yesterday at
State headquarters. Over so members were
present, % counties being represented, and the
reports from all sections were encouraging,
The most important action of the committee
was the placing of General Libby of Mauch
Chunk on the electoral ticket in ;place of John
Leisenring of the same place, deceased. There
was the most perfect harmony of action
throughout the meeting of the committee, and
from the detailed report of each county made
by delegates majority of probably twice the
" 600 received by General Garfield is conf
IDENTIFY predicted.
Senator Cameron visited the committee, and
cheer after cheer greeted him. After the APP
plause subsidized Mr.. Cameron declared he was
no speech maker and he had no intention of
trying to become one on this occasion. He
wanted, however, to declare to the committee
his entire harmony and approval of the action
of the Republican National Convention in nom-
mating Blaine and Logan. He asserted that
no member of the party would work with
more zeal or more satisfaction for the success
OF the ticket than himself. He was personally
in full accord with MIR. Blaine and had been
glad to participate in his welcome to Philadel-
phia and to personally assure him of his earn
est support.
Great applause followed Senator Cameron's
remarks, and before he could retire from the
hall he was compelled to allow each member
of the committee to be presented personally
by Chairman Cooper. Immediately after the
committee repaired in body to the Union
League, where they were introduced to Mr..
Blaine.
The Democrats who have been repeating
Chairman Hensels wild talk about PennsyI-
vania going Democratic are very much sub
dued, and some of the most prominent of
them admit that the claim of the Republicans
that Blaine will have upwards of $4,000 ma
ority in this State is, after to-day, by no means
wild talk.
WASHINGTON, Sept. M.-Secretary MePher-
son, of the Republican committee, says that
things look very much more hopeful now than
they did four years ago. This mornings mail
gives additional cause for confidence as to the
result in Ohio. The Democrats are preparing
a new campaign statement, charging irregu-
larities in treasury bookkeeping The charges
consist simply Of a rehash of the stale stories
as to the differences in the books, which have
been SO often refuted BY Secretaries Window
and Sherman.
Reports from the Staunton, Va, district, In
dictate that Randolph Tucker is encountering
much opposition on tariff grounds, particularly
for the reason that, referring to three iron
foundries that have been established in his
district, he said that they were simply owned
by Yankees, who had come down there to take
away what money they could, The truth is,
these foundries have been established BY
Northern capitalists, who have come here to
stay, and have built uD a thriving community.
The voters of that community are very indig-
nant at Tucker, and Democrats and Republi-
cans will vote the Republican ticket. Malone
has informed the committee that there is a
good chance of carrying Virginia for the Re-
publicans as any Northern State, If the same
effort is made to do it. Dezendorf says there
will be change in the electoral ticket in a
few days.
