THE SITCATION IN PENNSYLVANIA.
"Thtf fact Is," said Chairmm William U. Wen
zel, of tho Pennsylvania democratic state com
mittee, to The Constitution correspondent, "tho
d< mccracy of the key stone state has organized
Itself for victory, not filling its coffers with money,
but by oranulZMtlou and efficient measure* to
bring out the entire vote of tho state. A change
of only one per cent In tho vote of 1'ennsylvanla
will give the state to tho democracy- This may
readily bereen from tho fact that the normal repub
lican majority is about 18,000; the total vote of the
state is about 900,000. Tlio democracy may carry 1
rcnnsylvunla by simply converting ono rupuhlfi
???cab Voter In (v hundred, or by bringing out one
perccut.rooroof the riemocnUio'than of tho're

ODD POINTS or THE CAMPAIGN.
There are some features of tho uational cam???
palgu of 1884 which excite markod Interest. Tho
democrats seem to have a better organisation than
the republicans. Heretofore outsiders havo com
plained that the democrats hod no plan of their
owu, except to offset republican plans. Tho situ
ation is reversed. The democratic managers are
pursuing an sftgrcwdve national campaign In
New York, Indiana and the northwest New
York and Indiana are practlcully assured to tho
possible. The democrats of Ohio aud
null* are depended
to watch their own bul
??;
Louis, an old manager
ivegouc to Ohio; but lu res .
democracy of that state is.hdfWlblo to take <
oflhelf. This Is only natural In view of the wet
that the democrats o! Ohio have tho offices of tbo
state and the organization of It* public Institu
tions from the governorship down to tbo county
(???limhoincs, and are belted In-on two sides by the
steel-born democrats of Keutucky and Indiana.
Another incident of this campaign is tho cessa
tion of the letters which Lieutenant-Governor
( hannrey Black, son ot the late Judge Jeremiah
Black, hea for several years sent to tho Now York
Bun from Harrisburg, covering the democratic sit
uation. Editor Dana's ???cranky??? course towards
Governor Cleveland is thought to account for
Another feature of the campaign is the absolute
refusal of the mosses of the {people to l*o "ea-
