Dissensions differ in different counties. Iu a Republican county there can lie found disappointed Republicans. In a Democratic county there are disaffected and disappointed Democrats. The friends of disappointed local candidates, for example, are sore. Why, I had men come to me before the convention and say : ' If I don't get my candidate, I'm for Beaver.'

Men are disappointed for soino reason or other—their candidates have failod of nomination; or, if they are Congressmen,- the President has not granted their requests; or, if they are higher, patronage may not, in their opiniou have been fairly divided. But my judgment is, that if our Republican State committee use the honorable means which our last Suite conveotion asked them to use, to secure an honorable peace—if those honorable means aro fairly set in motion, whether they result iu compact union or not, they will result in an honorable and a lasting peace among the Republicans of the State. If the Democrats, also, will resort to like honorable means, they will bring to the their candidate the great majority of men who call themselves Democrats. And if the Democrats in Philadelphia can get the live or six thousand Democrats wrho don't like Mr. Pattison to take their places in the ranks, they will have enough to keep them busy all summer. So with the Republicans. If they can bring all the disaffected Republicans into the ranks they will have a pretty large contract for the summer. In September, then, when we can look along the lino and,see the familiar faces in their old places, I shall be ready to predict the result.
