VOL. LXXV. THE CANVASS FORGOVERNOR, | Etkin's Progont Gait not Fast Enough to | Win Oot, | Altorney General Iilkin has been e x- | ceptionally fortunate in the dele wate | elections of the past week, and the| pre at which he is traveling is some- | thing of a surprise to those who had | supposed his campaign would go to] pieces as as Senator Quay avd | Mr. Durbam declared against his nom- | ination. jut the is enough, even if it can be mainta to enable him to win, Inciuding the elections in the five counties of Crawford, Dauphin, Erie, Monroe and Northumberland on Sat- urday, delegate to the State con-| vention have been chosen, This is six less than one- half the whole number, | leaving 185 yet to elect. The division | of those elected given possible on the best obtainable infor- mation is: Elkin, 85; Penoypacker, 19; Watres, 14; uninstri . in Sispiate the two from the First Lu- zerne District. In this statement Mr. | Eiki given structed for himand a to have declared for those of Lancaster, MelKesn and Mor | cer, which were not iostructed by any | convention, | From these figures, which we be¢- lieve are as nearly is pos sible to make ther n at this stage of canvass, it will be seen that Mr, Elkin must secure ninety - out of the 1585 to be elected in ord: to secure a bare majority of ti tion. To put it another way, he inust elect every delegate but four left to be chosen outside of Philadelphia, unless he can pick up some of those from the uninstructed list. The margin there, TI! i ties are: Adams, 2; Carbon, Clinton, Crawford, 1; Erie, 6 ing, 4; Pike, Boyder, 1; Sullivan, Venango, E for some candidate at this week, but is not fi delegates from Crawford will be g to any candidate for Governor will nominate Dr. Flood ant Goverpor, and the gates weuld probably lar service to Mayor Lewis, of Allentow others in the uninstructed list a ty well declared against Elkio’s nomi-} nation.

Mr. Elkin will do well if be gets one-half of these, including twenty-five of the thirty-six. Allegheny delegates, though it is not] certain he will get any of them, since a disposition is shown by the Pittsburg Machine to take to the convention up- eomnmitted such it can eontrol and await developments, Out- dide of Allegheny it is conceded that Nr. Elkin will get Northampton—un- less Chairman Reeder changes front very likely Westmoreland and possi bly Bomerset, but not much more, It looks, therefore, as if, under the most favorable estimate of his final strenzth, he would fall from fifty to seventy ULehind a mrjority of the con- vention. It is much easier to foresee this than to predict who will be nomi- nated, though with the soliddelegation of Philadelphia supporting him the nomination of Judge Peupypacker seems most probable at this thine, To the Elkin delegates mentioned above must be added six from Dauphin, and four from Crawford, A ——— Cambria, kik, 2; Fayette, | : | a. g ay ®5 oy 6. ‘gates nine delegates as ——— Boy Badly Hart, Last Maturday as George 8.
