nrEorAL rzLKeaAM TO THE p1srArcz.,


PHILADELPHIA, August 9.-It does not
look as if the State campaign would fairly
open until the second week in September.
Senator Delamater, 70 be sure, is the busiest
man in the State, and is jumping about in
it from place to place wherever there is any
body to be seen worth seeing. He is GER
tainly displaying tremendous energy, and
carries with him an unfailing good humor
and rare tact. Mr.. Delamater does not pro-
pose 10 be beaten if personal efforts can pre-
vent it. He meets independents and stall
warts, and is as active with one as the other.
Governor Pattison is attending strictly to
his duties as President of big financial in
stitution. Cool, calm, and somewhat re-
served in manner he is moving along as if
there were no such things as campaigns and
candidates.
DIFFERENT METHODS.
The Ex-Governor Is quite as much In ear
nest as the Senator, but he does not show it
as much. He is not of the same ardent
temperament. On the night Of Mr.. Pat
tison's election, eight years ago, he, along
with Lewis Cassidy and few other close
friends, received the returns in private
room at the Irving House. When it be-
came certainty that General Beaver had
been defeated there was general rejoicing,
even the conservative, calculating Cassidy
throwing up his hat and taking the next
Governor by the hand. He received the
congratulations as he would cup of tea,
and remarked. 81 guess we can 60 home
now."
At this time the streets were jammed and
packed with wildly enthusiastic Demo-
Gratis, who were cheering for "Pattlson"
with sturdy lungs. 1t was not because he
did not care for or anticipated his election
that Mr.. Pattison appeared apathet1c. It
was simply his way. He had thrown his
highest ambition into the scale, and If he
had not won the disappointment would
have been keenly felt, but probably not
shown anymore than the triumph was.
THE RIVAL MANAGERS.
The two State Chairmen have been long
enough about to disclose some, at least, Of
their methods. William II. Andrews has
the Republican headquarters on the second
floor OF the Continental Hotel, facing Ninth
street. He has two rooms communicating,
one Of which he uses as his own Office. The
doors are open. and anybody and everybody
can walk in without knocking.
There seems to be no secrets about the

easily. but he has purpose, and all ends
are used to serve it. Andrews will bear q
power of watching.
Chairman James Kerr has taken q whole
house on South Penn square, from which to
conduct the Pattison campaign. He is
much more secretive than his opponent,
and, while the first floor is open to the pub
lie, the upstairs belongs to the Chairman
and his workers.
NOT TALKING MUCH
Admission can only be had by card, and
Mr.. Kerr does not propose that anybody
shall know his business without his permis-
sioE. He is man capable Of taking on q
big lot Of work, and knows exactly what he
is about. 1t is his fight as much as Gov
ernor Pattison's. and he wants to win.
Neither of the State Chairmen will meddle
with the management of the campaign in
Philadelphia, and it Is well they should not
There are hordes of cantankerous politicians
on both sides in this city, and the Chairman
from up the country who would attempt to
handle them would have very little time to
devote to the rest of the State.
