ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATCH.i
PHILADELPHIA, October 27.-In lead
ing editorial tomorrow in the Times, Colonel
Mcclure will say:
We believe that Delamater is beaten, hope
lessly and largely beaten in the race for Gov
ernor There is revolution in every county of
the State and in every district of every county,
while not only the inspiration of clean politics
and constitutional government, but also the in
spiration of assured victory, excites and en-
thuses to active effort the solid Democratic
vote of the State. With leading daily Repub-
lican journals of Pitsburg openly opposing Del
amater; with Dalzel. the unanimously srenom-
mated candidate for Congress, refusing to urge
Delamater's election, and with Pattison Re-
publican organization extending to every dis
trict of the county, Allegheny, the Republican
Gibrater of the West, is certain to falter.
Quay's immediate Senatorial and Congressional
districts are both rent by feuds and double
candidates, and they give promise OF revolu-
ton. The Erie and Crawford district is de-
batable, and Crawford, the home of Delamater,
is doubtful for Governor and likely to defeat
Andrews for the Senate. Secretary Stones
district, of Venango. Union. Mexican and For
rest, will elect him to Congress by 5000. and it
will give decided majoritv to Pattison. The
Indiana district is debatable.
The northern tier of strong Republican
counties will split their majorities in Two for
Delamater, excepting Susquehanna, and there
Pattison is likely to defeat him. Taking the
western counties as q whole, although nearly
all Republican, Delamater will be beaten in a
majority of them and there will be little OF no
majority for him west of the Alleghenies. In
the east he will be cut down to one-half the
usual majorities, while the close counties will
vote for Pattison and the Democratic counties
give him increased majorities. There will be a
fearful crusade of fraud in the anthracite re-
gions, but skilled detectives and large rewards
will halt the ballot thief and the trader in votes
and the whole line of Democratic counties in
as large ajorities for Pattison this year as
were the PattIson pluralties in 1882. Berks
will respond to Lancaster by beating the ma
jority of the old guard. The border counties
of York, Adams, Cumberland. Franklin, Full
ton and Bedford will all give Pattison large
majorities. excepting Franklin. where Della
mater has a fair chance for keeping in sight of
his party vote.
Philadelphia will be desperately contested, as
here is the widest field for the pollution of
voters and election officers, but never were the
friends of an honest ballot well organized
and equipped. and there will be fearful in
crease in the population of Moyamensing and
CherryHill if the criminals now in the pay OF the
Delamater machine shall persist il their work.
Every day of the last month has widened and
deepen ed Republican disatfection. Delamater
Is beaten and all signs point to majority
against him fully equal to the plurality by
which PattiSOn was elected in 1882.
