Baltimore Cay.-Ths city has long been famed for
its adherence to Loco Focois. 1t has now, however,
at the last spring election noby thrown off her et-
tiers. She was again disgraced by riot on the day
Of the election. Wecopy the following account Of it
From the Baltiaore Patriot.
GREAT WIG VICTORY IN BALTIMORE.
The Wings of Baltimore, whose glorious triumph
in April last the beginning of tina: series of vico-
1es over the Spoilsmen and Expermenters, which has
so signaiy distinguished the present year. have again
placed the MONUMENTAL Cry in the first rank among
the Wing CITIES OF the Union. We refer to the Off
cal returns given below, for the evidence Of vcto
ry, which, under all the circumstances of the case,
may. be numbered among the most remarkable tri-
ulnphs that have ever been achieved over the Ad-
mnistration. We have succeeded with the whole
Wing ticket-wehave carried our candidates for Co
verRor-the Senator-and the Delegates, by hand
soule Neutrality-suspicious. 1901
The result, under the circumstances, we maintain,
Is more signal and more memorable Wing triumph,
than 1t we had Obtained majority of THOUSAND in
an election fairly and peaceably conducted. Never
during our whole editorial career, in this city, now
reachingto quarter OF century, have beheld such
scenes as disgraced the election yesterday. Every
species Of stratagem, fraud and violence was resorted
to- by our opponents during the day, in order to de-
feat the will OF the majority of the people and at
night the peace Of the city was disturbed by bands of
ruthais exaspeated by defeat and smartng under the
failure OF their atroci0ns schemes The polls in the
wards in which Loco Focus had the greatest strength
were taken possession OF at an early hour, by gangs
OF desperadoes-who occupied the door ways block
AIDED
nately, with too much effect,) to prevent the Wing
| votes from being taken. This was particularly the
case in the lst 3d. 18th, 10Th, 18th and 18th wards
The conduct of several o the Judges Of the election
was most reprehensble, and called down upon them
the strong cesure OF every man who had any regard
| for the maintenance Of freedom; and Independence
in the exercise ofthe elective right. So far from aid
ing to secure the voters in the quiet and effective
ercise of this nestmable franchise as it was their
bounden duty TO do they interposed distractions,
in addition to the difficulties created by the violent
conduct Of the partizans around the polls. We un-
dcrstand that the most excellent arrangements were
made at the polls in the Seventh Ward, to facilitate
boards had been erected and also convenient places
for the chaengers. The Van Buren, Judges peremp-
tory ordered these to be removed and declared that
otherwise. the election should not go on The CON
duct Of some of the Van Buren, judges in some Of the
other wards still more extraordinary. They took
the tickets of their partzans, over the heads Of the
Wings who were near to them-and by their whole
proceedings encouraged the dsordery persons around
the polls in the work of obstruction. But shall re-
fer to this subject hereafter. There can be no doubt
that many Of the aged and infrm among our patriotic
Wigs were prevented by these exhibitions OF vo-
lence from depositing their votes.
The scenes of the night still worse than those
Of the day. Several thousands Of Wing citizens
peaceably assembled in front of the Chronicle Office
tegence OF the results in the different wards. Never
have we seen so large body of men conduct them
selves with such perfect decorum. About midnight
they were assaied by band of the rufians of the
party with brickbats and other missiles and several
muskets and pistols were fired. one Of which took ef
feet upon worthy citizen, who was borne oil serious.
ly injured. The Wings stood their ground firmly md
succeeded in driving back their assailants. The
Loco Focos then supplied themselves with such mis-
ses and budgeons the streets and awning-suppor-
they renewed the attack. After several skrmshes,
in which they repeled by the Wings, the Mayor
! was waited upon, hut he could not be found-the
Judges were sought for but the search was equally
unsuccessful; and finally two magistrates granted
requsition for the Volunteer Corps, who CALAMITY re-
paired the Of disorder and violence, and dis
| persed the rioters.
PROFESSIONS, bullteass and gatherings of every de-
scrplion, with which they opened and continued the
campaign-in spite Of all their frauds and stratagems
in spite Of all the violence to which they were slim
mIaed by their leaders, and encouraged by their par
iiZan Judges. WE HAVE GAINED TIE VICTORY! WE HAVE
LAID VAN BUREEIsM Low IN BALTlMoRE-we have
done part to maintain the great principle which

States, OPPOSITION TO THE sPoTLsMEN AND ExrERIMEN

Of the Cabal at Neutrality-suspicious. Legislatures are
the mere registers Of Executive edicts; and faithful

fit 10 proclaim as the creed of the party
The result is most striking illustration Of the bless
ings OF the REGISTRY LAW. Had we not possessed
that safeguard against the usurpaton Of the elective
right we would most certainly have had the real and
acknowledged Wing strength in the city overcome by
hordes Of imported and illegal voters Never have we
seen greater enthusiasm gafanry manifested than
by the Wings in this contest. They have approved
themselves the bold and determined defenders of the
right; and if the State has done well as Baltimore,
we will have moral triumph to record over the igno-
rance, infauation. and unprncipled conduct of our
opponents, which will enfitle our State to the respect
admiration, and gratitude of the people Of the whole
Union. .... - .... .. b. .rv ,se
Conpicfion Of RaiAb"n.-A letter to the editors of
the Ev. Journal at Albany, dated Batavia, Oct. 3D..
says" The trial Of BENJAMIN RATHBuN, which COM
menced on Wednesday, terminated this morning in a
verdict of Gully. Application was then made by the
prisoners counsel for suspension ofsentence, which
was refused, and the Court sentenced him to FIVE
years Imprisonment. in the State Prison.
What q train Of melancholy reflections does this
event call forth! Only two or three years since, this
individual was IN the possession Of prncely estate,
with hundreds Of workmen under hs control, and CIV
ing life and activity whole city-mOD. shorn Of his
property, Of his influence. Of his character he is cast
into the common receptacle Of thieves and robbers
himself probably the most deserving Of such fate
for his ansgressons have been Of deeper and s,rOn-
ger cast. aa
