Penn Yam oct % (speclal).-In spite Of all oil inc
excuses which the orators who have been sent ont by
rnnsnv Tail are making the voters Of Yates County
are determined that In 50 far they are concerned
they will have nothing TO do with that corrupt ogan
zaton From the day on which Senator Jec'o oioaV
Fassett was nominated till now. the Republican county
Committee under the efficient management OF MOTIFS
sheppard has been doing the hardest sort OF wok tor
the Republican ticket. The work has been OF nnd'
TOO that has made Republican votes at least for the
STATE ticket and undoubtedly for the county and AS
ser,hIv tickets There are four candidates in the field
for member of Assembly in this county ana tle Demo
Gratis appear to be directing their main efforts toward
defeating the Republican candidate. lie Is everett
Brown OF Jerusalem. Mr.. Brown has served one @rih
in the Assembly and his record there was good one
Pint the Farmers Alliance the ProhbiuOnists and the
Democrats all think that he ought not to be returned
The Alliance candidate is the Republican supervisor Oh
his town, and he elected last spring on a hepup
Hcan ticket. He IS Thomas W. Campbell, and he Is
likely 10 poll few Republican votes. The Democratic
candidate is George r. Young, of Milo The only
charge which the members OF the Alliance have against
Mr. Brown Is that he absent from the Assembly
chamber when the vote on the Five Per Cent bill was
taken That was the day which the funeral OF
Assemblyman Brundage was held, and large NUMBER
of the Republican members were absent on that &c
count Speaker sheehan and his leader, Charles r.
McCelland agreed the night before that no measures
Of auy importance should be acted upon on the day Oh
the funeral But neither speaker sheehan nor MI
NcCelland kept his word and the session extend
ed heyond the usual ad nment to reach TINS
hill and 10 pass ii because 1t might put some OF the
absent Republican Assembiymen " In hoe.' Many
of the Republican farmers in the Assembly together
with the Democrats from the rural districts, favored
mi, bill and Mr. Brown was among Tn Sc VINO Wouh
have voted for il If opportunity to do so nan been
offered 10 him To bring the bill up as was done was
only a sample Of the way things were run by the
Democratic speaker and his Democratic leader. This
will rO iujure Mr. Browns chances materially ana IL
is estimated hat he will be elected by plurality OF
from 900 10 500 votes.
II is thought that both the Prohibition and
the Alliance candidates in the county Will
have to depend upon paster ballots Oh thcir own
printing 10 get votes for their men counted Al last
accounts neither organization Lad fled the necessary
certificates of nomination 70 have their ballots
printed at public expense. II this turns out to be
true both of these parties likely to lose some voes
that naturally would 20 TO them The contest over the
member Of Assembly will 10 the benefit 4 sen
aOr Fassett for an unusually large vote VIII De OUT
Tho canvass OF the county which was made "a lew
DAYS ago shows that the vote here will nearly equal IL
IL does not exceed the Presidential vote OF l7o7 Inc
registration in the county now is far ahead Of what 1t
Was last year, and throughout the county there i
or, ally increased interest what there wa then
OF course much Of this is due to Che f1urcOrnerd fight
on the county officers and member Of Assembly but
vet tie farmers declare that they do not want any
thing to do with Tammany Hall, and do not want II u
have anything b DO with them
The majority Of the farmers who are mem
hers Of the Farmers Alliance will vote for
senator Fassett. They see nothing In the char
acter or the history Of the Wall Street soekiobber
