PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 9th, 1910.
On careful examination of the returns oil the Do
counties Of this statethat is So counties ana the
city Of Philadelphia, IA all S. there cannot exist
doubt that Harrison has carried this State by ooS ma
Jority Such is the result and il 10 utterly imposs-
Bile for Van Barren to have this state unless by some
process OF legerdeman the official results are altered
on their route to Harrisburg Do impress, in empha
tic language, that cannot be misunderstood by tine
good people Of the city Of Gotham, not to bet-bet
not at aldo not bet-let those who have money
tain IT in their own possesson-do not let them be-
come the dupes of swndiers and black legs. Let all
in your good city remember the dear bought expert
ence OF by gone days. But all this
Pennsylvani has gone for the Hero OF North Bend
the honest and patriotic William Henry Harrison
the state is settled for Old Tip beyond the possibility
OF caviing about the matter. An intimate and valued
friend, high in the locofoco party, said to few
moments ago, =" the state is yours, abandon it at
last, and mourn over Pennsylvania degener,cy."
The vote is close extremely close, and neither party
can shout victory
II now remains for Old Tip, on his taking the Pre-
sidency, to appoint honest to Office let him be-
ware of mere politicians and fnanciers, his admi-
nistration will be disgrace TO himself and to the
whole Union. Should you possess any influence
Whigs-imprcss upon them to make good appoint
ments for New Ysrk Say, Grinnell or some other
honest and incorruptible merchant for Collector.
Ogden Hoffman, or as good man, if you can find
him, District Attorney. But for Gods sake, avoid
political haeks-handle them not, nor touch them,
except with pair Of tongs-kecp all such creatures
at arms length. Gen Harrison cannot give me an
office, nor can be Influenced by any party go for
honest and incorrsptible men, matter what party
theT may hail from and such should be the duty Of
every one who loves his country Avoid hypoe RITZ
cal saints of every description, let them be District
Attorneys or anything else. A bold villain is less
to be dreaded than ypooritcal saint, with piety
ON his tongue, and villainy, black despicable viii
lainy, at heart.
RrMARxs.-Our correspondent may have prefe-
renee for the appointments he mentions-but there
is an insuperable bar to making such. General Har-
rison has come into the Presidency for the purpose
ofrevsing the detestble prime that "to the VIC
tors belong the spoils" He must establish the max
i'm on which he is elected-to remove no man for
opinions sake"-and by no means to reward mem.

pie been asitated and excited for the last IL years.
they are to be treated to the demo razpg pub.
lie conduct which General Jackson exhibited Ge-
neral Harrison is pledged for term only and he
can afford to break up all party iss-all the wicked
of party principles. He is to be the President
Of the whole people. He is to restore the halcyon
days efGeorgsW which were first corrupt
ed by the old abominabe politicians that demorali-
zed the country in the contests between Jefferson
and Adams and established the two factions of demo-
Gratis and federalists.
