PROGRESS OF THE CAMPAIGN
Indications All Point to a Sweeping
Republican Victory.
THE MEETINGS ARRANGED FOR
General Hastings viii Be in the Cityone
Week From Today and Address
Voters-Other Distinguished Men
Who Are Coming Here.

AS the days that separate us from NOV.
grow fewer, evidence becomes
more and more convincing that this will
be great Republican year in Pennsyl-
vania. General Daniel Fl. Hastings
and his colleagues on the Republican
ticket will be elected by majorities such
as were never before given to candidates
on state ticket in Pennsylvania. In
dications point unerringly to this fact.
In all portions of the state great enthu-
siasm is expressed for the able gentle
men who are acting as the standard
bearers of the Republican party this
fall.
The county ticket, too, will be elected,
and every candidate have good mar
gin to spare.
The Democratic shouters throughout
the county were, during the week, In
structed to talk confidently of Demo-
cratic success in the county. They
obeyed instructions, and are telling all
with whom they come in contact how
the Democrats are going to clean out
the Republicans this fall. This Is part
of the plan of the Democratic leaders TO
restore confidence among those who, In
the past, have acknowledged allegiance
to the party of Jefferson and Jackson,
and If possible awaken some degree Of
enthusiasm and interest. The task Is a
difficult one, and the ridiculous claims
Of the shouters Is doing nothing to
awaken the much desired enthusiasm
for the local Democratic nominees.
Earnestness pervades All.
At Republican headquarters dozens
Of interested party workers call daily,
anxious to learn in what way they can
best assist in piling up big Republican
| majorities. Never before, perhaps,
have the individual members of the
party shown more earnest spirit or
| a greater desire to be of some assistance
| to the campaign managers. This is one
of the best evidences of the interest the
rank and file Of the party take In the
| outcome of the battle of the ballots on
| Nov 6.
Public meetings are being addressed
| nightly by Republican orators in differ
ent parts of the county, and at these the
| large attendance and enthusiasm fur
nishes additional proof Of the senti-
ments of the voters.
More young men will vote the Re-
| publican ticket this fall than ever be-
| fore. This Is particularly true Of irish
American young men, who are turning
in great numbers from the Democratic
| party, whose boast in the past has been
| that 1t owned them, body and soul.
These young men feel that 1t Is an
insult to their manhood to be consid-
cred the chattel of any political party,
and are voting for the candidates and
principles which they believe will best
subserve their true interests.
| At the municipal election last spring
| the way these young men renounced
the Democratic party in Dunmore and
| in boroughs north of the city caused
CONSERVATION among the county lead
ers. They will have new cause for con-
sternation when the votes are counted
| on Nov. 6.
The young men Of today are bright
and aggressive; they think and inquire
And only the party of firm principles,
framed for the good of the whole peo-
pie, can command their suffrage.
