AWAITING A REPLY.
Those Fresh Charges Against Della
mater the Talk of the Hour.
PATTISON AT PITTSBURG OCT. 4
Accompanied by Black, Hensel and Other
Leading Orators.
THE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES TOUR
iFRoM A STAFF CORRESPONDENT

| READING, September NV. U. Hen.
sells speech is most commented on to-day of
last nights addresses, especially in view OF
of the fact that rumors had been spread
about that Mr.. Hensel was not supporting
Pattison this year in an active way. Mr..
Rensel seems to have heard this rumor, and
it seems to have stirred him to partc-
ularly offensive partisanship. His speeches
last night are considered broadside and
good bit of interests expressed here as how
Delamater will reply to the charges made.
| Hensel left this morning for home, and
will soon begin an active campaigning tour.
Candidates Pattison and Black attended
the fair this morning and made trip over
the Mt. Pown gravity road, where the dis
astrous accident occurred a short time ago.
They were escorted by Major Merritt, of this
city, and Mr.. George F. Baer. Accom-
panyiDg them were State Chairman Kerr,
T. A. Maher, John D. Norman, Mr.. Ran
dali. of Philadelphia; D. o. Barr, S. F.
Foley of Pittsburg, and J. Irwin Steel,
President of the State Editorial Associa-
ton and ex-Treasurer of the Democratic
societies, and the representative of The
DISPATCH.
AN ENTHUSIASTIC GREETING.
They were met enthusiastically every
where, but no speeches we're made by any of
the party. At the fair grounds two big red
apples were presented to Mr.. Pattison by
Mr.. Coke, Republican, who explained
they were local variety known as "Morris
Sweets" grown on the Morris estate. Two
had also been left there, he said, for Candi-
date Delamater. The giver was a Repub-
lican, but the apples grew on Democratic
soil. If Mr.. Pattison's apples should con-
tain seeds it would be the unlucky one and
SO on.
The Ex-Governor returned thanks for the
apples, and then mildly said: 81 am will
ing to share my success or failure with Gov
ernor Black," at the same time giving the
genial statesman from York one OF the
apples. After the tripover the gravity road,
the distinguished leaders were driven to the
depot and took the o'clock train for Phila-
delphia, accompanied by Chairman Kerr,
D. o. Barr and others.
THE PATTIsoN PROGRAMME.
Tomorrow they speak at Ashland, and
will probably visit the Pottsville Fair at
the urgent solicitation of delegates from that
place. 1t has been decided that Pattison,
Black, Hensel and other leading lights will
visit Pittsburg October 4, and meeting will
be arranged for that date.
feature OF the Democratic societies
convention was the appearance of nearly
dozen colored delegates, who reminded the
assemblage that all of the colored voters
were not enrolled for Delsmater. They
took an enthusiastic part in the proceed
ings, and J. U. III. Ward, of Harrisburg,
promised that the colored Democrats would

would appear at the polls in November
~ A report came in from a Lebanon county
Farmers Alliance man that had reliable
assurance that 5000 Republican farmers in
Lebanon county would vote for Pattison.
This estimate was declared to have the
sanction of the Presiden! of the Alliance.
Chairman Kerr received a telegram from
home to-day giving the county ticket nomi-
mated there, with the information that his |
delegates were elected to the Congressional |
Conference, and that harmony and hope
were securely grounded in the breasts OF |
Clearheld's Democrats, or words to that |
effect.
ENCOURAGING REPORTS
Chairman Kerr, in conversation, sa id re-
ports from all parts of the State were of the |
advised him that Delamater was not making |
a good impression where he appeared in his |
tour, The great detection from |
the Republican candidate is popularity ex-
pected in Allegheny county, Philadelphia |
and the oil region, but reports from field |
lieuienants are to the effect that other sec
tlons will show proportionate d1saffection.
Mr.. Kerr does not regard the John L.
Butler bolt as serious. He says that Butler
has been Republican, Greenbacker and
Democrat before, and as this is more of
campaign of honesty against dishonesty
than of opposi ng parties, some bolts of the
Butler kind m ust be expected.
Candidate Delamater is expected to ar
rive tomorrow morning with Governor
Beaver, Senator Watres and others. The
flags and bunting profusely displayed by
business places for the Democratic gather
ing will be left to greet the visitors to-
morrow, which is very convenient arrange
ment.
LABoR-SAvING DEVICE.

The display was originally intended for

The trouble OF decorating twice, Seeing the
Fair will be a disagreeable duty, as the
grounds are wet and very muddy.
1t is positively asserted by Philadel-
ohians that Maxwell, Stevenson and
Morgan, the division representation
eaders, are Delamater men and have been
working for the Republican candidate all
Ilong. They are charged with coming here
IN purpose to get up fight in the conven-

ratio cause and create as much confusion
