earnest sprieal for as generous a suhicrlp
tlen as you can make. The exlgencifs of
the campaign In Pennsylvania require it.
If properly supported ve will maueanet
gain of at least two oengremen ; If net we
will make u net lean of three. Uittu every
tarlti question the control of the Heuse ut
Washington is ei me utmost importance.
A thoroughly organized battle, such as the
state committee can make, will net only
save every doubtful congressional district,
but thn spirit of our battle will extend te
New Yerk and New Jersey.
The rule Is that the mere promptly sub
scriptions are received tbe batter they can
ba applied. Wehuvefew etllcers te aid,
and our chief reliance is upon the gener
osity of Kepubllcaia in private life.
In tblsapr-eal wodealre te remlnd you
that all Republican organlzjtlenH tbe
bome club, the county committee and the
national cnrrl'nlttee deserve It as well, and
the Importance of the can rats suggest a
Just and liberal apportionment te each.
The Pennsylvania state organization Is

Hen. Charles H. Carey, solicitor of the
treasury, who lives lu Olean, N, Y has
just returned te WushUigteu from a visit te
hts home. He says the claims made in the
Republican nowspapers as te Wcstern New
Yerk are simply propostereus. He says
thore is no larlfl scare in Western New
Yerk, and that thore are mero Republicans
who will vote the Democratle ticket than
thore are Dmnoerats who will vete the
Republican tleket because of tbe terlil" ques
tion. Tbe slgnlllcant feature of the situation In
New Yerk is, Mr.Carny says, the change In

for the Dernrcratle Irishmen who voted ter

100,000 mB)(,rlty. This year at least 80 per
cent, of thne Irlshmen who vted for
Ulalne in 18SI will vete for C'leveland. He
adds that the Democrats will iiinke gains lu
Albany, Jiuilaln and Rochester, anu in
ether cities outside of New Yerk. The Re
publicans will coins down te Harlem

The vete In New Yerk city will be the

the Democratle factions will watch each

As for the West, Judge Carey, who wes
