CAMERON'S GLOWING STRENATIE Snectal Dlapateh to The Chicago Tribune, Hannisnuna, Pa,, Feb. 3.—-The Mitchell louse, polltical headquarters for all factions, Is thronged to-night; and caucusing is guing onat a lively rate. John Mays, of Cumber- Inu County, sald to bea relative of Blaine, has opened » parlor for the Blaine men, who mtve been seen and registered as sven asthey: arrived, On the floor above him Seeretary of State Quay, Cameron's right-hand man, has anofice, ‘There ty much more activity at tho Binine rooms than at the Cameron quar- ters, but all the effective work fy dono at the latter, Don Cameron has been about tho hotel during the day, Me is calm and fmpenetrable, but confident sand serene. The Blaine ferces ure dwindling rather than galilng ground. - Catneron lina the Con-~ yention “already so’ wall! hond -that he is now only meditating what he shail do with lt. Only forty-seven delegates, out of a totalof 250, are positively instructed for Blaine, and not more than thirty others are under fn- piled Instructions, laying been sent by con- ventions that adopted resolutions favorable to Blaine, Of these latter, many will go over to Cameron, in view of 18 OVERWHELMING POWER to effect n combination on the local ticket, 80 that lt willbe surprising J£ more than fifty delegates—one-tifth of the Conventlon—hold outto the end, One of the matin sources of Cameron's strength Is the manner of choos- Ing State conventions In Pennsylvania, ‘he representation fs not based on the Republican yote, but on the Legislative apportionment. Each Representative and Senatortal district is allowed one delegate. There are 201 Rep- resentatives and 50 Senators in the Legisla- ture, and the full strength of w Stato conven- tion 4 251. ‘This plan works well In the Republican districts, but it gives the managers an undus. advantage in the Democratic districts, Berks County, for instance, hay one Senatorial and six Repre- sentative, delegates, It ts Demoeratle by 4,800 majority, and Clymer represents it in Congress; but, though the Republicans in tho county are int imlnority, there are a cer- tain cls of offices within the gift of the party which are distributed exclusively, among the supporters of Cameron, He therefore, controls tho delegation from this county wbsolutely, THY SAME NOLDS TRUE ot Northampton County—four delegates, 3,000 Deimveratic majority; Carbon, two delegates, 3,000 Democratic; Monroe, one delegate, 2,000 Democratic; Columbia, two delegates/2,000 Democratic; Lycoming, three delogntes, 1,500 Democratic; Northumber- Jnnd, two delegates, !,000 Democratic. York, five delegates, 3,800 Democratic; Luzerne and Lackawanna, Hendrick Wright's Green- back-Democratic Dittrict, eleven delegates, and go on, These Democratic strongholds offsct and overpower {1 the Convention such Republican countiesas Erle, five delegates, which elects a Republienn State Senator by 2,400 majority; Blair, two delegates, which has # trustworthy. Republican majority of 2,000; Bradford, threo delegates, 2,100 Repub- Nean; and Cheater, ive delegates, which has 3,100 Republican majority, Both Chester and Erle. instructed for “Blaine, yet they are offset by York and Berks, steady Democratle counties, which are counted for Grant. ‘Tho machhoe generally prevails In the Democratic counties, and’ tho Blaine movernent is strongest In Republican coun- ties, . E Cameron starts with Allegheny County, eighteen votes, ané Vhiladelphtu, forty-six votes, The Demoumtic counties above men- tloned give him thirty-seven more, Ho has 101 votes without going to tha rural Repub- Nean districts at all. ‘To fix things still more completely, * HIS MANAIERS RESOLVED, early in'the canvass to capture the Important County of Lancaster, which Ly overwhelin- ingly for Blaine,.and has elght- votes, ‘Though the call fortho State Convention was iasued a month in alvance, the County Com- iittee: delayed caling a convention on ono pretext and another until it was two late, and then appolated the delegates ‘to the Stato Conventia: withuut a vote of the people, ‘This brotglt Cameron’s strength to 100, within 17 @ a majority, ‘He could ensily pick up that munber of‘ stragglors throughout the. Sate, especially among the Senatorial districts and then the work was done, ‘As soon as t was assured that he had A majority, all the boys rushesl in to inake It unanhnoug, and three-fifths af, the Conven- ton will be secured for him before to-mor-- row houn. Camernn bas sygh strength he. can afford to be Inplacable, and Jt {4 belioved he willearry (ings with @ high hand; not only WIR have a resolution passed fustructing the delegutes to Cileago for Grant, and have tho unit rulo adopted, but it fs thought he > MAS GOXRTHING BOLDER is and more techulesl than this iu contempla- tion, As fs the custom fn Pennsylvania, lx Congressional Distriets have partially chosen thelr delegates to the National Conventlon, naming ten men In all, ‘Three of these are Camerontans, and the others are understood tobe for Blalne. It ts asserted on good authority that the State Convention, by Camcron's orders, will disregard the Blaine nominations entirely, and approve the others, “We intend to have it known,” sald a Cameronian lieutenant, “that the State Convention [Is the only power In this State that can tssue credentinis to the Na- (ional Convention.” This scheme, if carried out, would make the delegation of Pennsyl- vanta at Chieago solid for Grant, fifty-eight strong, and wottld prevent any bolts, such as that which McPherson headed at Cincinnatl. CONVERSATIONS TO-NIGHT WITIL LEADING LAINE MEN, Including one who was a Blane delegute from this State to the Clneinnati Convention, | indleate that the submission to Cameron will be complete. ‘The Blaine men say it is thelr polley to provoke no bitter antagonism, but to promote harmony and good will within the party, so that when Gen, Grant ceases to be ncandidate, and they believe he will be out of the way before June, Blaine will be the second choice of Pennsylvania, He will then reap the benefit of the~ unit rule. It is said tho price of the submission is a promise from Cam- cron that the delegates already chosen by Congressional Districts shall not be dis- turbed. Cameron threatens, if lie is openly antagonized in the Convention, to smash the Blaine slate from top to bottom. As it {s, the Blaine men expect to have a number of rep- resentatives In the delegation to Chicago. ‘They base tholr hope of the defeat of Grant. on the opposition to a third term throughout, the country and the reaction which the oper- ation of the machine for Grant In Pennsyl- vanla will produce in other States. ‘They say {tis Impossible that Grant should be nom- inated by the machine. A CAUCUS OF ANTI-GRANT DELEGATES was held to-night in the Mlaine headquarters; 109 anawered to the rull-call, and eight in- structed Blaine nen were absent, making 17 outof 251, A committee of six was ap- pointed to protect the rights of the minority In the Convention to-morrow, and to insist upon a roll-call on wll test questions, so that the viva voce “hurral’ plan may be blocked. Senator Lawrence, of Washing- ton, was put up as the candidate for tem- porary Chairman, The following resolution was adopted; i Resulved, That tho right of delegates from each Congressional District to choose thelr delu- gate to the Natfonal Convention, except when such choice has alrendy been made or muy be inide by the voters of any dlatrict, under thelr rulés, is hereby utirmed, The exception on belialf of voters fs in- tended for the beneft ‘of Lancaster County, where, It Js claimed, the will of the people was overridden by the choice of delegates to the State Convention by the County Coim- mittee. The caucus adjourned with three rousing cheers for Blaine, and a resolution to attend in a body the general caucus of all delegates, which begins st 9o'clock. Much enthusinsm prevails among the Blaine men in consequence of -the large attendance at tho preliminary caucus; but the show of strength ls Jargely on the surface, The vate will melt away considerably in the Conven- tion, * TUE GENERAL CAUCUS TO-NIGUT was disorderly and turbulent, and resembled a Democratle County Convention in Chicago, aAn undoubted majority of those entitled to yote were opposed to Grant, but the Chalr- aman was a creature of Cameron, and carried things with a high hand. A resulution was offered appoluting « committee of ning to choose delegates to the Chicago Convention. For this a substitute was proposed reserving: the right to the delegates from each Con- gressional district to name their National legates. The vote vu the substitute was taken by calling the roll, ‘The hall was a perfect pandenoniun {uring the roll-eall, The © plugs” from Philadelphia ond Pitts- burg answered the nunes of absent members, and nt tines three voices could be heard re sponding, to one call, The Chairman deefared @ substitute lost bya vote of 110 to 123. He then refused to recognize motions to adjourn, and put the orlginal resolution, whieh he de clared carricd on a viva yoce vote. The mo- tion! to. adjourn wis then put and declared eartied. The Blaine delegates are much In- censed at the trentment they recelved, and vow they will have thelr righta rbeog- nized in the Convention to-morrow or take the roof of the hall off It is ae tho arbitrary conduct of Cameron’s men has intensified the Blaine fighters, and that the strength of thts faetlon to-morrow will be renter than has been supposed, ‘They are jetermined at Jeast to lave s record vote, aud break the force of the Cameron resol tions In the Convention, TIS PLATFORM.

The statement, however, ought not to be made stronger than this, There is o fighting chanee, but no more, Delaware has been stendily Democratie ever since Gov, Cannon. was elected as a Union man in 188, except that, under the demorallzation of the Greeley nomlnation, Gen. Grant received its Elect- oral yote ten yenrs later. For twenty years the Legislature lias remained at least two-thirds Democratic, there being not one member of the opposing partyin it at several sesstons. The Inst Republican mem- ber was Senator Riddle, of this county, elected In 187%, and who held over {nto the session of 1875, since whieh both branches have been unanimously Democratic, The majority: An the State doves not seem Inrge, it fy true. In 1870, it was 9490; in 1st, 1 and fin 1878, 20%, Comparn- tively, however, this majority is large; for, as Delaware Is ‘only a single Congresstonal district, if corresponds to something like 75,000 people in the State of New York. The only encouragement in looking at itis the unquestionable fact that never, alnee the colured man began to vote, has there been a falr and square test of party. strength, At first there was 1 wl blood over the tact that they had galned thelr right. of suffrage, and they were—us in 1870—to a Inrzu extent Intiunidated from golag in thelr full numbers to the polis, while since that the incomplete and unfatr asses ments have reduced thelr ranks ju oon equal degree.
