| PHILADELPHIA. oct .ber ~
| The political situation in Pennsylvania
| seems to be decidedly in favor of the re-
| publicans, and they are estimating their
| majority on the gubernatorial ticket at
| 10000 /: will be remembered that Con-
gressman Galusha A.. Grow carried the
| state by ovcr $4,000; but sanguine people
| think that even these figures will be eclpsed
| next November. The Star correspondent
| has spent over week at different points in
| the state. and has talked with the leaders
| of both parties as to their prospects. The
| democrats fear that the chances are good
| of their being showed under by 10000
| majority. while the republicans very mod
| estly claim that their majority will be just
| double these figures. Gen. Hastings, the re-
publican candidate for governor. is hard at
! work stunning the state, and leaving no
| stone unturned to beat the record made by
Congressman Grow. Editor Slngerly will
| begin his campaign tour October Fl, accord
| Ing to his plans as outlined yesterday to
| The Star correspondent, and he will Try to
| make the best of a forlorn hope.
| Mr. SingerIy's Views.
| In speaking about the prospects in No
vember Mr.. Singerly said to The Star
| representative:
| TIE outlook is certainly not the most
! favorable for democratic success at the
polls, but 1 am going to do my best, and.
you know, angels cannot do any better than
| that. Did you notice the horse race at
| Morris Park. near New York, yesterday? 1t
was the great five furlonS race. AT the
| outset the betting was 4Vo to ] against
Black Hawk, who came down first on the
| home stretch. Certainly my chances are as
good as were those of this horse. Just
watch the returns four weeks hence"

CATION. The republicans hope to capture at
least five Congressmen in November, max
| ing the delegation stand in the Fifty-fourth
| Congress twenty-five republicans and five
| democrats. According to their estimates
| ana conclusions they feel confident of de-
leating the democratic nominees in the
third district; in the nineteenth (Beltz-
| hoovers); in the thirteenth (Reilly's; in the
tweniy-fourth tSipe's); and in the twenty
eighth kribb's).
The, third district is Sam Randairs old
one IN Philadelphia, and has been repre-
sented in Congress in tmn by the ex-Speak-
er, Richard Eaux and at present by Nc
Aieer. The latter was defeated for re-
nomination by combination of democrats,
whom Editor SingerIy himself styles ruff
mans, ROSTERS and ringsters." AS a result
OF the bad feeling engendered among the
democratic factions the chances are very
nod for ha oil
the republican nominee, who Is German
american, retired merC hant and has "A
good standing with the people of the
Quaker City.
The Nineteenth District.
In the nineteenth district Congressman
Beltzhooyer OF Carlisle failed to get a re-
nomination on account of his notable
speech in Congress on the Wilson bill
which stirred up such a hornets nest in his
district. A man named Strubinger from
rear Gettysburg, was nominated in Beltz-
mowers place, ana it is he whom the re-
plDilcanS expect to defeat.
In the thirteenth, or SchuylkilI district
the republicans are pretty confident that
Brumnl, their nominee, viii win the fight
over Reilly.
Some Of the Doubtful Districts.
Other doubtful districts are the twelfth
or Luzerne, district, now represented by
congressman Hines; the twanty-sixth by
Congressman Sibley, and the seventeenth.
py Congressman WolVcrton. In the eighth
district Congressman Autchler was da
1eated for denomination, and the feelinp
thefe between the two factions is much
the same as in Congressman Nc lInar's
district.
Mr.. Sibley's district, the twenty-sixtb is
homihaiiy depublican, and VIM L. Scott
or Erie was the only democrat who ,yer
carried II before. Hence, it may be safely
ciassed as IN the doubtful ranks
The Senatorial Situation.
The elections next November will also
have an important bearing on the seat i'm
the Senate now held by Senator Don Cam
eron. There are twenty-five state senator's
to be elected this fall in Pennsylvania who
Will hold over till 1886; and each has a vote
as to who shall succeed Cameron A num-
Der OF these have already pledged them
selves to vote against Senator Cameron's
reelection. Particularly is This the case
IN the pennsylvania Senator's home i'm
Lancaster county, where his candidate for
the state senate was turned down after a
bitter tight, and Chris Kaufman an anti
cameron man, was nominated on the renuh-
lican ticket. The best opinion seems 10 he
that nearly half of the new senate 10 ha
elected in November will be anti-C,ameron
ana unless Senator Quay comes to the rescue
cameron VIII have poor show of succeed
ing himself. AS it is now he will have to
axe the light, since nearly every news
paper II. Philadelphia is against him Both
ihe Press and the Inquirer" the leading
republican daiies here, are bitter against
his reelection.
