Difference,

Der of votes, within half dozen by which the appre
gate poll OF both parties has been increased We
peat therefore, that nothing but the oulest measures
could have produced this result II is known every
one that great changes have taken place in this city r
favor of Harrison But of these we say nothing
though the fact goes further to show that fourteen
hundred and seventynine not all the votes which
have been by base manGures added upon the Admin
stration ticket
Let it be noted, then that the Wing vote now is as
large it has been, and that the diminution Of
the majority in this city is owing to the addition Of
fraudulent votes on the other side.
The Philadelphia Inquirer also states that the
most astonishing frauds were perpetrated in the
Third Congressional District by the friends Of
Mr.. Ingerson. The vote was increased 1868
over that Of the election two years ago and
this increase was all on the side of Mr.. Inger-
soil. We are glad olearn that the Wings have
already taken means to prove the frauds, and
are preparing TO contest his right to the seat in
the next Congress.
The news received yesterday from the interior of
the State is of highly gratifying character. The
returns thus far altogether favorable The Wings
and Conservatives have gained four State Senators
namely, two in the Chester, Delaware and Montgome-
ny District in the Lancaster and York District
and one in Bucks. Their present chance for a mao-
rity of the House, is also good
The Harrison majority in Delaware is $50. Wing
gain 100.
The Van Buren, majority in Montgomery is 1875 on
the Congressional Ticket, and less than 500 the
Senatorial Van Buren, ma jority for Porter in 1885
SO
In Chester, the Harrison majority is $50. Wing
gam 206.
In Lancaster, the friends of Old Tip have swept
the board by majority of3, 700. Wing gain 700
In Bucks the entire Harrison Ticket has prevailed
Congress, Senate, and Assembly.
In Lehigh, the Van Buren, Congressional Ticket
has majority Of 276 1t is possible, however, that
the friends of Harrison have elected an Assembly
man.
These statements will, we believe, be found very
generally correct We have also number of rumors,
and give them for what they WORTH without vouch-
ing for their accuracy.

Cumberland in part, So Van Buren,,
In Berks County, General Keim the Van Buren,
candidate for Congress, received $500 votes. The
Wings had no ticket in the field but assure us they
will poll larger vote for General Harrison on the
Both than has ever been given to the Old Hero in
that county Our friends at distance should be
careful lest the Loco focos should attempt claim
the entire vote Of Berks majority. 1t gave Van
Buren, 1888 in 1886 1t will not give him 5000 on
Friday fortnight. The news on the whole, there
fore, is highly satisfactory The friends of Harrison

dence to the struggle to take place in fortnight from
tomorrow,
