Mr.. DELLMATER REFUSES TO DEBATE
rrRow STAFF CORRESPONDENT


There was brass band, procession, a great
deal Of red fire, roman candles and sky
rockets and what was more to the purpose,
much thoughtful discussion.
The DISPATCH instructed me to get here
in advance of the speaker and get the drift
Of public sentiment. l arrived early to-day
and found the town in first-class condition
for mud singing, as all the streets are about
two feet deep with very tenacious mixture.
Much interest was manifested in the
coming meeting which was a favorite topic
of discussion on the streets, in the hotels, in
the stores offices and everywhere. That
there is pathetic feeling among Republic
ans here cannot be denied. but the extent
of the actual bolt is
REPUBLICANS WON'T TALK.
The most noticeable feature of the situa-
tion is the number OF reporters who will not
talk The Democrats talk freely and the
members of the Independent Republican
organizations are not close-mouthed, but a
large lumber of those who usually vote the
r publican ticket are silent
All the campaign committees are work
ing earnestly. In the old parties the work
is methodical and systematic The Inde-
pendents are earnest, hut show inexperience
in campaign work. They know what they
want, but don't know much about running
political machinery. l secured expressions
from the County Chairmen on the situation
and estimates on the result as follows:
S. II. Huselton, Chairman of the Repub.
lican County Committee, said: ''There are
5000 Republican votes in this county
Dclamater will get at least 5000 of these
votes in spite of all the mud singing ard
personal campaigning. We will carry the
county oy majority of 300 TO 900 votes.
The effect OF this meeting is to make Della
mater votes. The speeches have been good
ones for our side. Three-fourths of the
audience were Democrats, fve-sixths of the
other fourth Delamater Republicans and
the remainder were Mugwumps and
kicEerS."
ENTHUSIASTIC DEMOCRATS.
Charles Heineman, Chairman Democratic
County Committee, remarked: The De-
mocracy is enthusiastic and the full vote
will be out. The Republicans are not
heartily in favor of Delamater There is
great detection. In 1888 Harrison carried
this borough by 30 majority, and the county
by 800. We will carry the borough for
rattison, and will reduce the majority In
the county at least 1000 below that of
1885"
j. Z. Forsyth. Chairman OF the Inde-
pendent Republican County Committee,
stated: I'VE will get Pattison a majority
of 500 in this county. We have over 100
Independent Republicans in this borough
and it cnly went for Harrison by about 30"
DR.. J. n. Bolard said: 'Tm for Pat
tison. L live in Meadville. Delamater
will lose Crawford county. am here most
of the time and the detection in this county
is large. l am tired OF boSsism and Quav-
ism. Pattison was good Governor He is
a clean, honest man and think the people
should elect him."
PATTIsoN THE BEST.
Ex-senator Meredith, of Kittanning,
commented as follows: "I say Patti
son was the best Governor this State has
had for % wears, and do not care who hears
me say it,"
c. Abrams: 81 will vote for Delamater
but am not much interested in the result
Pattison is an able man. There are a grea.
many kickers in this county, among the oil
men principally"
J. d. McJunkin: I'm not in politics
and am not talking this year.
r. H. Ferguson: "The outlook is good
for Pattison. 1t is hard to estimate Re-
publican detection. as a great many peo-
pie will not talk. We hope TO- Pattison
majority in the county. l am a Repub-
lican."
A well-kncwn gentleman from Armstrong
county, Republican who refused the use
OF his name said both Butler and Arm
strong would 60 for Patlisou. A great
many others were seen, but they would not
speak for publication They would give
their private opinions In examining the
total ] should say more than hall the Re-
publican OIL men and oil well workers will
either vote Tor PattIson or stay at home.
E5IEEy HEARTILY RECEIVED.
Ex-senator Emery arrived at $50 this
evening with his private secretary, E. C.

n g. Ayres, OF Pitisburg, was the first
speaker. He said it was Republican
meeting and the organs which had untruth-
fully said that an enthusiastic Republican
meeting had greeted Deianater here could
say the same thing about this
meeting He told OF "a Republican in
county vino had said Emery was
r liar and if he had him there he'd lick
him."
QUAY AND THE STANDARD.
II this man was confronted with Emery
and attempted 10 carry out that threat "he'd |
pet licked, cried voice from the audience.
Reference to the Republican detection in |
county elected wells of "Hurrah |
for Pittsburg." Reference to Delamater as |
the creature of NJ. S. Quay and the Standard |

demonstrations.
