The Election Erauds sn Pennsylvania.


The National Cisv CIn5 Of Philadelphia have
issued an address to the Ygh;gs Of that State ez
posing the wholesale Frauds by which me yo's
for Polk and Dallas was 50 sssell5d at the recon-
Election. we have room for bat brief sum,
mary of il, but tina. Cannot fail to be conclusive
The Population and Vote Of Pennsylvania are
kDoyn 10 increase in the ratio OF IL Per cent
ave.y four years. The Presidential election Of
1910 was a rc9at exciting md equal contest IT
Pennsylvania, drawing Gu, her whole vote, enc
slowing a very nice balance of parties. That
vote, with the legitimate ratio of Increase, shows
how many votes were honestly pollod IN inc late
Election.
The total vote Of 1910 wac 2oo,o go

Ths Wings gained in Philadelphia CITY and
County, about 1000, and los. in the State by Ao-
oliti5n about 1900, and by hostility to Nativism
nearly as many. The Wing vote of 1874 was
inst about what any thoroughly informed and
capable man would have computed II with all
the data before him. 1t is well known that there
wsro ii 1874 many chnnges-nDen. proclaimed,
notorious-to the Wing side, while there were

Now Let us see how this was accomplished;
There are twenty Counties in the State which
gave maiorit;es for Harrison in l84o. polling
l25, 1863 votes. These Counties have now poied
1873 945 votes, OF Just abou. III per cent increas
on the vote of 1910. But tina remaining OF Loco
Foco Counties, Excluding Philadelphia from
either listl poled in 1910 1875 585 votes, and now
IL l5O,46l, having increased their vote 24,O76,
or about twice as much as the Wing Counties
Thus was manufactured the 6,332 majority ior
Polk
Early in the canvass Secret Circular was
issued by the Loco.Foco State Committee to the
Initiated throughout the State, d;rosting them to
secure the Judges Of Elections, (choscn IN the
spring) and they lOOuld haze an easy oictcrg !"
Norember' The order was oheyed, and the result
followed, Pike, Monroe, and several other wholly
Loco.Foco counties, poled 25 to 80 per cent more
votes than euer before and in the towns where there
are no Wings at all, or next to none, they easily
doubled any former vote. They pollad more votes
il Pike and Monroe than the whole number OF
taxebles in those counties according to the last
enumeration Thus was swinded Pennsyivan's
made to roll up a strong majority for an anti,
Protective President.
