Keystone Republican, land If the election
should be held tomorrow Mr. Pattison would
be elected beyond the shadow of doubt 1t is
no longer simple revolt against Quay by

the machine methods as employed by Senator
Quay. / saw both Mr.. PHttisou and Mr.. Kerr,
victory. me campaign committee IS oaliy IN
prominent Republicans all over the
voting for Pattison. The republicans do not
find the same diff ulty in supporting Pattison
that they might have in case OF some more par
tisan Democrat. Hr. Pattison is considerable
OF an Independent. Then he has been gov
efnor before and the people know his
the wind is s'fH blowing in Penn n
Is the rapid return OF Senator Quay TO the state.
He y going to AXE personal charge OF the Re
publican campaign, a thing he has not done Tor

tions were made to-day in the postotiice de-
parlment and pension Office. but among the
fortunate ones there was not one credited to
Texas.
THE DEMOCRATIC CAMPAIGN BOOK
will be issued probably on Monday. The book
is q large one. 400 pages. 1t was very carefully
prepared by Mr.. Logan Carlisle. son OF Sena'or
Carlisle, and is thought to be an able and accu-
rate work. Owing to the great length of the
book and the lateness OF its issue, it Will not be
used for general distribution, but Is expected to
be OF great assistance to campaign speakers.

REPUBLICANS ALARMED.
The Republican national campaign committee
IS putting on a bold front. They try to impress
the correspondents with the idea that they are
very confident OF winning this fall, and that
they will give the Democrats & surprise in
November. That is the impression they are
creating through the newspapers, but the fact is
they are truly alarmed. They inoW that
small per cent. of The Southern Republican
member will be returned, and in Ohio they are
going to pieces. The refusal of Secretary Blaine
TO take the stump for Mckinley is regarded
very significant, to say the least. The friends
OF Blaine say it would be worse than folly for
Mr.. Blaine to go into Mckinley's district and
speak In behalf of the Ohio Napoleon in view of
the declaration made that there was not line
ouen up market for the sale OF an additional
bushel of wheat or barrel OF pork. To
stump the district for Mckinley would
be equivalent to reputation OF his
tariff views, and Mr.. Blaine is not yet prepared
to commit such An act. The Republican COM
m!ttee Is going all in their power to aid McKin-
ley and they will throw their entire strength
into his district. OF course they will give some
assistance TO the other candidates, but they are
willing to let everything else go by the board in
order to return Mckinley. 1t is limited that
Foraker will take an active part in the Ohio cam
paign. and as he has no love for the author of
the t'EiH bill, no doubt he Will let his influence
be felt.
TO WORK THE SOLDIER VOTE.
The Republicans are going to work the soldier
vote in the close Indiana districts, and unless
the Democrats keep their eyes open the ReDub-
Leans may steal march on them. 1t is re-
ported that n statement has been prepared at
the pension office giving the number OF pen
sions granted under Cleveland's Rdministra-
tion and the number granted since Harrison
took his seat The purpose is to show that the |
Republicans are the true friends of thu soldier,
ard that II the party is continued in control |
Of the government the old veterans will get
all they ask for. The number of pensions
granted since Raum became commissioner is |
astonishing haven't the figures Just at |
hand, but they are away up in the thousands. |
Here are some figures that will be interesting: |
During the last fiscal year the number OF certid-
Gates issued reached l5l, SIS, or 63SS more than
during the preceding fiscal year, which was under
Gen. Blacks administration. Now under the |
act OF June u, 1880, there were filed 400 2S2 claims
COR pensions, which. If grained, will increase |
10 something like 900. COO. The Republicans |
will circulate the figures in soldier districts, |
hoping thereby to retain the Grand Army OF the |
Republic influence But perhaps the taxpayers |
may have something to say about this expendi- |
ture.
THE NEXT HOUSE.
prominent member of the Democratic ma
tioNal campaign committee In convers alton with |
your correspondent this evening. said that in
his opinion. the next house would be Demo-
cratic by handsome majority. The committee
he said, was up TO its ewes in work. II |
tell you. - said he, I'VE fighting lust as hard
IS though il was a presidential year. There is a
big demand for tar IF literature and speeches on
the silver bill. Yes, the foIcs bill is an issue
and speeches on that bill are called for from ali
parts OF the country The situation, however
is such as 10 behoove every Democrat to stir his
stumps. The Republicans have several barrels
and no doubt they will try to work the blocks, |
of-hve'' scheme in some OF the close districts. |
We expect to gain in the West and North. Il is |
conceded by the Republicans that they will lose
more than half of the Southern members, aud
they will find it more than difficult to hold their
in the East Nearly all the large
in iil'- arms ms against the Mckinley biIp
and they'll be heard from in November |
We have plenty OF facts concerning Republican
rascality that are being distributed. The
: um scandal and the house postofice scandal
4Ie thorns in the Republican ranks. There is
quite n demand for copies OF the monthly report
in the R7um scandal as well as copies of the re-
port of the committee thst Investigated Post
master Wheat. By the way. there is some talk
Of indicting Wheat on charge of malfeasance
In office. From what I've heard OF the evil
icnce strong be made again st the
iisgraeed postmaster oh, we have plenty of
material, but we want to impress on the minds |
ot the Democrats the necessity for concerted |
action all along the line. They mustn't be too
confident for we know that in some districts our |
will have a close shave.
