From the United States Gazette

Il is gratifying 10 US, that philosophical mode
of 'reatng tue local defeats which the Wings have
suicetd this autumn, has attracted the attention aud
secured tho approval Of our neis tbor Of the Penn
syvaniin. And though, perhaps, tha hopes which
we entertain OF ultimate success IN 1911. may de-
prve US OF portion Of credit for submission, yet on
the whole, are not willing 10 iorego the credit
that is placed 10 our account. But We are used To
fused the tide OF politics noie its changes
by wave marks; and he must he blind indeed, who
does no, know that even advancing tide, there
nre momen's when the edge OF the currents below
the water mark of the previous wave.
With reference TO the elections OF 1874, the Wings
occupy the same rci,tion, in regard 10 tIme. which
they did in 1885, with reference to The Presidential
election in 1910. And with the exception OF the
distracted OF the Locosoco party, IN reference
their Preside initial candidate, The circumstances, to
almost every thing else, is nearly the same.
10 1885, the State Of Pennsylvania elected Co.
vcrnor Porter by majority OF 5496.
And yet 10 1910, Pennsylvania east her electoral
vote against the LOcofoco candidate Tor Presidency.
In 1888, DELAWARE elected Mr. Robinson. do
oOioco) her delegate in Congress, by majority Of
90.
And yet IN 1910, Delaware elected Anti-Locofoeo
electors by msjoriiy Of moro than a thousand.
GsoRoIA, in 1888. elected Mcdonald tLocofoco)
for Governor, by majority OF S75.
But in 1910. Georgia gave good round majority
for the Anti Loco!oeo candidate for President.
OHIo, ia the year 1888, gave TO Shannon Loco
foeo) for Governor. majority OF 5729.
Yet ia 1910, Ohio gave the Ant.LocofOeo eleelo.
raj ticket neat little majority oil twenty. three
thousand.
MAINLAND, in 1893, gave to Gruyson. the Loco.
icon candidate for Governor, a ms jofity OF 259.
Yet in 1910. this same Maryland gave MAORI
~ for the Anti Loeoioco electoral ticket Of AVG.
IL 1889, the State of MAssAcHUsRrIs elected
Marcus Morton, the Loeoloco candidate for Gov.
ern0r, Ivy majority oil one.
Yet in 1910, good old Massachusetts gave to tho
Anti.Locofoco electoral ticket majority OF posse
IN 1888, NEw JEnsEI returned to Congress q
I.ocofoco delegation, claiming majority oil Co.
This claim was not allowed, but The Wing real ma
iorily was less than thnt
And yet in 1910, New jersey gave The Wing
electoral ticket majority oil 23l7.
Maine, in the year 1899, gave 10 Fairfield, the
Locofoco candidate for Governor, majority OF 332S
Bot in 1910, Maine gave majority Tor The Wing
electoral ticket OF All.
Michigan, in 1883, elected Stevens i. Mason,
the Locoioeo candidate for Governor, and the rest Of
the Locoioco State ticket.
Yet Michigan, in 1910, gave Tor the Wing cleo
toral ticket o majority OF 1902.
There was no election in Tennessee, in 1893
But in 1887, the Loeos carried their ticket by H.
$40; and 10 1889, they carried Polk CLocofoco) by
u minority Of 5000.
Yet in 1910, the Whiss elected their electorn
tickle, Ivy minority Of IL, lO2.
We take notice OF those States which wen
for Tie WHY'S ia 1893 and also OF the Pfesidentia
election, in 1910, SUCH North Carolina, Indiana
Kentucky. Louisiana, Rhode Island, Conn se,ieut
md New York, though every one Of these Siato
gave q majority for the Wing electoral ticket, il
1910, vastly superior TO that which hey gave 10
State Offices in 1885, and that increase OF ms jortj
goes TO strengthen the confidence Of the Wings
that in 1874, the same results vii be found.
Itisdue 10 the editor OF the Pennsy ;vsnan to say
that the philosophy and patience with which II
credits u.s. Of the present moment, ore greatly owir
10 his admirable example 10 l510-an eTamp
which We ore sure he will again give 10 1874.
