act Incorporating the association for the purpose

in our city who cannet avail themselves OF the
advantages of our excellent common schools,
and others whose condition requires that they
should be withdrawn from the vicious influences

individuals who have entered on this duty, have
it in contemplation to establish school short
distance from town, and that they purpose, in a
few days, to call meeting Of such Of the citi-
zens of Baltimore as may be dispo'ed to aid
them in raising funds to accomplish their object.
The good to flow from it is obvious, and 1T is to

THE REvOLUTION-SOME OF ITS
MORAL AND POLITICAL RESULTS.

THE REVOLUTION-SOM OF ITS
MORAL AND POLITICAL RESULTS.
The "Wasbington Globe" and several other
democratic prints, do not submit to the recent
revolution and election of General Harrison
with proper dignity or common sense. They
cry out that money and fraud have been at
and talk very ioolishly of British influence and
other miserable hu,nbug. No doubt isolated
instances of fraud could be discovered in both
paIties-but so far from affecting the accura-
cy Of the general result, they are mere drops of
water 10 the ocean. So also in attributing any
influence to money or British gold.
In the election just completed, and tskich tge
and esery other cLeGr headed man predicted ever
since the spring Of 1887, probably over 2,2O0,-
900 votes have been taken in population of
100000. What could f'pipe layers" or
British gold effect on such a mass of human
beings spread over an immense surface. Ac-
cording TO the returns already received, from
100000, if net 100000, of the popular vote,
will be the majority of General Harrison. Yet
with thssimIneDse vote, tOe do not 6elievP that all
the actual free tOhite males Of The nation oper FL
years of age have coted. The "Globe" SAYS
indeed that more votes have been taken than
the United States Census for this year will
she w there are actual voters. We are persuade
ed this is gratuitous assertion, utterly dpsti-
tute of foundation or fact. And in order to
show the accuracy of this view, LET us look at
handful OF we'll ascertained facts. First
here is table of the population of the United
States Tor 1880, with the popular vote for Pres
