OUR BRETHREN IN ARMS.

west conducting the political campaign with
spirit and energy, and determination which cannot fail
to be attended with the most triumphant success In
Louisiana the ball opened nobly by the great
Convention Of Baton Rouge; and every district and
town rs now thoroughly aroused, and doing its utmost
to finish the work $50 gorously begun in July
In New Orleans on the evening Of October 10th
there was gathering Of the people seldom surpassed
for numbers intelligence and enthusiasm Among
the distinguished speakers, the New Orleans Bee men
tons with high praise, Mr.. Christoval De Armas an
unchanged Democrat, who has quite recently re-
nounced the support Of Van Buren, and who, in an
energetic and ardent harangue exposed the misdeeds
and ruinous theories of the Administration The true
democrats in every section of the country consider
Van Buren, unworthy of their confidence and sup
port.

multitude that assembled to greet General Jackson

Il appears. therefore, that the majorities for
General Harrison in ID States amount to 81, 300
while those Of Mr.. Van Buren, in his States
are $500 The States which have decided in
favor Of General Harrison give l49 electoral
votes; while those which have given Van Buren,
majorities cast only l6 electoral votes. Does
any man of either party doubt the result of the
electoral election? In Pennsylvania the Wing
gain has been more than sufficient TO annihilate
the majority given for Mr.. Van Buren, in 1896,
so that we shall have no reason to doubt the
defiance of fraud and falsehood, we have attain
ed these glorious successes Fraud and false
hood will make last effort, al the coming cleo
tons, but we shall triumph over them--ay, even
over the dark and yet undeveloped scheme pro-
duced by the smmering of the amalgamated
brains of Mr. Van Buren,, Amos Kendall, and
+. P. Blair. The decision of the people has
been pronounced in the State elections, and il
will be formally ratified when the ballot boxes Of

LOCO FOCO FRAUDS.

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 49,
THOMAS ALLEN, Esq.
DEAR Sin; A most high handed fraud, not to say
forgery was discovered on Saturday, in one of our
courts. You may have been surprised observe the
increase Of the Of adversaries in the
city and countywe were, and could not tell whence
the strange faces came from about the polls in
such numbers-the secret is in part unravclled. IL
seems that, hundreds and housands-morc than
thousand certainly, of foreigners have been naurai
zed within rery short time. This would be well
enough the individuals entitled, by their having
resided here long enough, TO their naturalization papers,
but many, perhaps the most of them have been here
but a few months or weeks. And how did they yet
their papers you ask will tell you Itappears that
the record of the court Courts have been faisfed
that leaves have been inserted the record books pur
porting be records of declarations made by Foreigners
and to have been made two years ago-when
the individuals had nercr filed their declarations at ALL
and had not probably been six months in the country
On these forged records naturalization papers have
been made out and were voted upon. Fifty sixty
cases Of this kind were discovered Saturday, and
the investigation will proceed again to day And this
is way our elections are carried another Is by
hiring proesscd bes to take possession Of the polls
and preventing any man. who would not vote open
Van Buren ticket, from voting at ALL as was the case
at the Third Ward, Spring Garden, on Tuesday
last-the bullies being under the command and
troll of fellow named Ovenshine who is employed by
Gov Porter on the rail road Now what think YOU
the right OF suffrage is worth in such a community
and what is election hut insult TO the freemen
Of the country mockey-a cheat J Thank God
the reign Of this " STANDING ARMY ADMIN
ISTRATION," this "BULLY-CHEAT ADMIN
ISTRATION," draws to a close If i did not our
liberties would be short-lived ndeed-they might con
time the mockery Of elections but no man would vote
any other than the ticket given him by some bully
Office holder except the peril Of his life. II rs time
the people walked up they do not intend TO wear the
shackles Of slavery.

NOMINATIONS FOR CONGRESS

The Hon. Moses H. Grinne having peremptorily
declined the nomination which had been rendered him
as a candidate for Congress from the city of New
York, the Wing Nominating Committee selected
FREDERcK A. TALLMApGE in his place.
The Wing Candidates now are
JAMES MONROE,
J. PREscoTT HALL,
ROBERT SMITH,
FREDERICK A. TALLMADGE.
Messrs. Hoffman and Curtis, members of the pre-
sent Congress, well Mr.. Grinnell declined re-
nomination. They were all faithful and efficient
representatives., and their retirement will general
regret. The New York Courier says a more popular
nomination than that of Mr. KALAMAZOO could not be
made in view of the refusal of Mr. GRINNELL to serve
us again. and yet cannot part with the latter gen.
tleman without expressing our deep regret, that he
should continue to be the representative and able
advocate which he has shown himself to be- Of the
commercial interests of the city.

Daylight is appearing in the Key Stone State To
gain both branches Of the Legislature; two members
of Congress, and some five thousand in the popular
vote is sufficient glory for the present.
The Van Buren, party from newspaper accounts,
appear have majority Of about 900 Of the popu
lar vote. This majority however includes the
4,O33 votes in Bcrks where thelWhigs made no oppo-
stion. There are also one or two other counties
where the Harrison strength was not fully shown.
In 1886 the Wings polled in Berks county 3Gl0 votes
They will probably show as many in the choice Of
electors. In 1886 the Van Buren, Congressman in
Pennsylvania received majority Of upwards II 600
The Van Buren, electors in November Of 1896 re-
ceived upwards 1000. If votes take similar course
this year. and add the Harrison vote the number
not exhibited in Berks and other counties the recent
ticket will carry the State by majority of about
l3OO0.
