ALL ARE CONFIDENT.

What the Chairmen Have to Say About
Party Chances-A Large Vote Expected
|. to Be Poned-Mr. Gripp Claims 10000
Majority.
A DISPATCH reporter visited the Chair
men and some of the workers of all the
county political organizations yesterday to
ascertain their views as to the result OF
next Tuesday. There was found unanim.
ity of opinion among those of each party
and everybody seen was confident OF the
success of his fsvorite candidates.
William Bremen, Chairman of the Dem
ocratic County Committee, said: s'We will
have the largest vote out we have had in
years. This has been evidenced in various
ways during the past week. The judiciary
ticket appoineed by Governor Pattison will
be elected by not less than 10000 majority
for the manreceiving the lowest vote on the
ticket. The Republican State ticket will
have larger majority than it had last fall
by several thousand, and 1t will be found
that, in spite of their kicking against ring
rule and dishonest administration as an ex-
cuse for the support of the Straightout
ticket, the supporters of that ticket will
vote and work for the Republican State
ticket, against which they have ten times
more reason to kick. We will lay the in
creased Republican majority for the State
ticket to the door of the Straightouts."
John Gripp, Chairman Republican
County Committee, said: IT am satisfied
we will carry the county with an average
plurality of not less than 10000. In Pitts
burg the majority for the regular ticket
should be at least 10000. In my judgment

received also, and I predict for 1t majority
of not less than $4,000 in the county. AL
legheny City is well organized, and will be
carried for our candidates by not less than
5000 majority. If the Straightouts
are as earnest to man for the State ticket
as they are for their own ticket, the State
majority in the county will reach 20, 0,OC0
But fear their only effort is being made to
advance the vote of their local candidates
They are working, each candidate for him.
self The activity displayed about our
headquarters is equal to that of the last
Mayoralty campaign, and reports received
from all sections of the county warrant me
in making the predictions, which will be
verified next Tuesday. I believe the organ
ization of our campaign is perfect. and the
poll districts, especially IN the country,
were never in better shape"
Chairman Dunn, of the Straightouts,
said: I'VE nave the county so thoroughly
organized that we can't lose. The. whole
county has been canvassed, vigilance COM
mittees are located in every district, and
they have been working for months They
are men who stand at the polls all day,
work hard all day, and can neither be
bought nor their tickets taken from them.
The only place the other fellews-can make
winning fight will be in the first II wards
of Pittsburg. We will carry every borough
and township. We will also carry every
East End ward, and all but two of the
Southside wards The greatest number of
votes are in the East End and Southside and
we will get majority in both districts. f"
Judge Fetterman remarked: 'There is a
great Improvement in our favor every day.
If one-half the people will vote for us that
have voluntarily promised, we will have a
big majority. AS the situation stands to-
night am not afraid of the result, but will
be glad when it is all over" =
