ELKIN SEES VICTORY.
Former State Chairman John P. Ell
kin is quite confident of great Repub-
lican maiorities in Pennsylvania this
fall.
"The present state campaign" said
Mr. ElIin, is entirely different from
that of last year, in that there is no
evidence of factional opposition to the
candidates on the Republican ticket.
There is splendid feeling prevailing
among the Republicans throughout the
state. They recognize the fact that
tho candidates on their ticket are men
OF exceptional ability, and are popular
and deserving of their support. There
is a spirit of patriotism abroad and of
loyalty to the Republican party which
means so much for the welfare of the
state and the nation. Not word can
he said against the character, integ-
rity, capacity or patriotism of any man
on the ticket. No one familiar with
the situation will say that there is any
doubt about the election of any one
of them. The aim of the Republicans
of Pennsylvania, therefore, will be to
make their majorities as large as pos
sible. The national campaign of 1900
is already under way. The flag OF
Organism still floats over the camp OF
the Democracy, while Republicans ev-
erywhere are rallying under the ban
taking a keen interest in the cam
paign. They are not anxious to in any
way help the Bryanties by the vote

about under the last Democratic ad-

business booming on every hand, with
