THE REPUBLICAN. I W. M. OKENET, - - - Editor. FIUDAY. AUOUHT 16, t»5 I'lKiirm on lh« Pblla. Pre* Aug. It. Perry county's two delegates nre assured to the Administration by the election of fifty delegates favor able to Clwirmun (iilkcson out of sixty-two to sit in the county con vention. In York county tho re turns are slow and mostly indefinite, but the city will go l'or the Adminis tration. Montgomery county re turns show that Quay will likely have a majority of twenty-six in the county convention. W. H.Andrews showed a realization of the crisis to Semftor Quay's cause in Adams county by traveling to Gettysburg to prepare his lieutenants for to-day's convention struggle. Primary elections for the choice of delegates to the Republican State Convention have now been held in nil of the counties except seven. The .counties of Cameron, Chester, Fulton, Lehigh, Lycoming and Mif llin hold their primaries next Satur day, the 17th inst, and Philadel phia closes the polling on the 20th. With tho elections so nearly com pleted, it is now possible to make up an approximately correct statement as to how the convention will stand. For this puvpose the table ot esti - mates origiually published by the "Ledger" at the beginning of the contest makes a good starting-point. It was an impartial calculation from a neutral source, and, when correct ed by the actual figures of the elec tions held since its first publication it constitutes the fairest and most trustworthy ba«is of judgement which is accessible. We lirst pub lish the table just as it was originally given in the "Ledger:"— QUAY DELEGATES. Adams 2 Fiiltou 1 Allegheny 4 Green 1 Armstrong 2 Indiana 3 Heaver 3 Jefferson 2 Bedford 2 Laskawanna 2 Rerks 6 Lancaster 9 Blair - Lawrence 3 Butler 2 Luzerne 1 Cambria. 3 McKean 2 Cameron 1 Mercer 3 Chester 5 Philadelphia fi Clarion 2 Potter 1 Columbia 1 Schuylkill - Crawford 4 Somerset 2 Cumberland 3 Tioga •> Dauphin f> Venango 2 Delaware <> Warren 2 "Elk 1 Washington 4 Erie Wayne 1 Fayette 4 Forrest 1 Franklin 3 Total 117 HASTINGS DELEGATES, Allegheny 21 Luzerne 8 Blair 2 Lycoming 3 Bradford 3 Montgomery 7 Bucks 4 Northampton 4 Carbon 2 Nothumbetland 3 Centre 2 Philadelphia 55 Clearfield 3 Schuylkill 4 Huntingdon 2 Westmoreland f> Juniata 1 York 5 Lackawanna 5 Lancaster 1 Lehigh 4 Total 145 DOUBTFUL DELEGATES. Allegheny 2 Union 1 Lebanon 3 Clintou ] Monroe 1 Montour 1 Milflin 1 Pike 1 Perry 2 Snyder ] Sullivan 1 Wyoming 1 Susquehanna 2 Philadelphia 9 Total 27 This table gave Hastings 145, just a majority of the convention, which consists ol 239 delegates. Taking the Hastings column we now correct it by giving the gains and losses as shown by the subse quent elections, or by the known position of delegates. In the case of Philadelphia we conservatively assign only five of the nine doubt ful to Hastings. The known gains and looses for Hastings are compar ed with the table nre then as follows: GAINS. Allegheny 2 Philadelphia 5 Adams 2 Sullivnu 1 Bedford 2 Washington 2 Cambria 3 Wyoming 1 Lickawanna 2 Montour 1 Perry 2 Total 23 LOSSES. Huntingdon 2 Schuylkill 4 Montgomery 7 Total 13 Met gain for Hastings Ift Original Hastings C olumn 145 Total for Hastings 155 Leaving for Quay 134 Majority for Hastings 21 It will lie noticed that all of the counties that hold their elections next Saturday are placed on the Quay column except Lycoming and Lehigh. Lycoming is certain, nor c:in there be any reasonable doubt about. Lelii<;li. Even if it were lost it would still loive 151 tor Hasting* anil on the other hand, if he should curry Chester it would bring his vote up to Hit) and give him a major ity of more than 30. This is a conservative s'atement. It would lie possible It make other correct ions in favor of Hasting", but wo have indicated only those which nre well understood. The review shows that the final round-up leaves the convention clearly in the Intids ot Governor Hastings and bisj friends. Claim M mmf Tmnnm, NEW YORK, Aug. I J. —Mi*. Mary P. Evans, the litigant in the celebrat ed Gaines will case, which is now in the Court of Appro Is at Albany, has another lawsuit which she ssys she intends to push to the end. Hhoud •he be successful she will own a great part of thin city nnd the whole of Jersey City, iloboken and Klizn beth, the villages of Dobbs Ferry and German Flats, and a great part of Delaware. Mrs. Evans is descend* ed from the Leake family and lives in Maryland, at White Gables. The first of the family to come to America was Recompense Leake. Mrs. Evans said of her claim: "One of the four sons of Recompense Leake was James, my great-grand father. One of the four brothers was Robert Scarsdale, the father of John George Leake, the millionaire. While Recompense Leake was resid ing on his farm, now known as Ilo boken, bis son James left him and went to Maryland, where he married a Catholic lady. One child James, was my father,s father. He died in Kentucky 7 in 1807. His six children were Mary Martin Leake, John Leake James Leake, Richard Leake, Nellie Leake, William Leake, my father; Ignatius Leake Raphael Leake. Mathew died without issue; the heirs of Richard are numerous und are lo cated in North Carolina, Georgia, etc. while the heirs of James are to be found in Missouri, Kentcky, and Maryland. ''Of i,besc last lam one and the oldest living. Robert Scarsdale left only one heir, who never married and whose estate is vast. John George left his large estate in Jersey City. Iloboken, New York and Harlem to a boy named Watts, providing he changed his name to Leake. This he never did and died at the age of eight. The surrogate then turned over all the realty to the Commonwealth. ESTELLA ITEMS. Apples and other fruits are scarce in this section. Lyman Confer and family ot Ralston, are visiting relatives and friends at this place. I lie young folks enjoyed an ice cream party on Saturday evening last, at George Nortons. Mrs. I. K. Brown and son, Ward, spent Sunday wiib her daughter. Mrs. George Warburton at Muncy Valley. The berry-picker's pails are not very heavily ladened after a hunt ol half a day for the luscious black berries. We have not had very many 'Mere visitors at the Falls yet. Guess the mornings have been a little too coo l for tliem to start out so early. .lames Webster and wife and two children Of Sugar Run, Bradford Co. were visiting his aged mother and other relatives here last week.
