Wing gain,

Wing gain, ~
This is the Wing Rett GAIN as far as hoard
from in Pennsylvania.
The returns of last Tuesdays election show
that argument is now not necessary with the pee.
pie Of Pennsylvania They are satisfied with the
explanations already made and are determined to
have change in the Executive Of the Nation
they do not now need cxpo5jtions Of frauds, Of
waste Of public funds, abuse Of public power, and
contempt of popular rights; they feel and see all
this, and, what is more, they now understand that
the only way to remedy the existing evils, to re.
store public confidence, to awaken proper etfec-
ton between the people and the officers, is to
place WILLIAM Henry HARRrsox at the head Of
the nation. That is now settled point. What
is required, then, at the hands Of the friends OF
Harrison, is perfect organization, securty'to every
man to vote according 10 his impressions, and
means adopted to have every man vote.
Let the people of PENNSYLVANIA once speak as
they think and as they feel, and we should hear
more Of Van Buren, in this State, where indeed
there never particle Of affection for hin,i&.
where all rece2t circumstances tend to change the
negative nro positive hostility. On the Both Of
This month Pennsylvania will give majority for
Harrison that will SET tie the whole question.

PENNSYLVANIA.
We have returns from every county in the State
but seven, viz: Mexican, Pike, Potter, Susq uehan-
ma, Tioga, Venanga, Warren and Wayne. The
majority in these counties in 1888 was 3i49 for
the Locos. The ma jorties in those counties heard
from stand Wing, u, 9l2, and the Locos ma jority
1884. IF we gain in the seven counties TO heur
from comparatively much as in those already
heard from. our ma iorty of the popular vote call
not be less than 1000, which will be gain of 5000
since lo35. In this calculation. we, of course
reckon the vote Of Berks it stood in 1898. We
have doubt Harrsons muj ority will exceed 5000.

PENNSYLVANIA LEGISLATURE.
The last Senate consisted of II Van Buren, and
l6 Wing members, Of whom II went out of office
These IL stood, 8 Van Buren, and 3 Wings. The
returns so far show Wing gain of 4 and no less,
so that the probability is that the Wings will have
a large majority in the Senate.
In the House, parties stood last year, Van Bu-
rem men 60, Wings 81. So far returns have
come in, the Wings have gained 10 members,
equivalent to 81, and are now quite sure Of ma
! iorty in the House.
The Wings have gained three and one report
says four members in Congress, and lost one. MAX
ing clear gain Of two or three members. If Mer-
vile is elected from the 10th district they have
gained four The popular vote will be seen by ref
erence to another column. Every indication is IA
vorabe to the Wing cause.
There is much conflict in the returns of the pop
ular vote, and we a great disposition on the
part of the LOcofOco press to misreprrSent the ma.
ioriticS. In some counties they put them down al
from , 10 900 more than the official returns show
they are. The returns we give to day, we have
taken every pains in power to get correct, aud
except where had good authority to the contrary
we have taken the returns from Locofuco papers
! In this, we have neither motive nor a wish to
misreprcsent the facts If we msrepresent them
it would but lead friends difficulty, and any
Misrepresentation must ultimately be discovered
and exposed. Besides, Pennsylvania is a State the
Wings have not heretofore claimed, and they fee
confident Of electing General Harrison whether
she votes for him or not. Misrepresentation on
this subject, therefore. would be worse Than folly.
We lave the strongest impressions and 50 have
