THE ELECTION IN NEW YORK.

The cold rain of Monday chilled all political
ardor, and IL was not until the sun rose in
bright blue sky yesterday morning that The
Wings got up their accustomed enthusiasm The
cheerfulness Of yesterday, compared with the
gloom of the previous day, tended to keep down
animosities and there wac quite as much good
humor abroad characterizes any warmly con-
tested election The polls were opened at an
early hour in all the wards, and sundry persons
saw the first sunlight for many years. I he
ting generally was as active as close scrutiny
and constant challenging would allow, and in
some wards the Philadelphia system of forming
long line, and allowing voters to fall upon it's
rear, thus voting in turn, was wisely adopted. In
other wards the crowding was intense, and often
men got in like, until SO fixed that the
mass was literally immoveable; but goud nature
generally prevailed, and although out of some
mouths there was profanity and much evil speak
ing, yet no bones were broken, and but little
blood shed. Broadway, most Of the day, was
filled with gay equipages and crowded with la
dies, and everything wore holiday aspect. Bu-
sIness IN tho lower parts of the city was gene
rally suspended, and everybody seemed to be at
the polls, or engaged in getting people up TO
them. Wall street and the custom-house, at two
o'clock, seemed almost deserted, and in all the
adjoining streets, IT the stores were not closed,
they seemed TO be near,y tenantiess and without
customers. In fact, the day, by common consent,
given up to political action, and deposteS
were made at the polls rather than at banking
houses The Wing Offices were crowded with
anxloux lnquirers after truth, but the Locofoco
journals all had an empty and forlorn aspect
The News" bulletin alleged that the Wing re-
turns from Ohio were for effect, while the Pie
bean inscribed upon it that the Democrats must
and would have majority in Ohio.--N. Y. Er-
press Of yesterday.

THE ABOLITIONISTS,

The Globe, in making an apology for the de-.
feat of Locofocoism in Ohio, remarks as folld Tvs
"Yet, as the increased Wing vote is located
in counties considerably tinctured with abolition
ism, we suppose that, to some extent, the reports
may BIO true. If SO, it indicates perfect coali-
ton between whiggery and abolitionism in Ohio"
for Mr. Clay, it has been in spite of their leader,
Mr.. Birney, who attempted to transfer them from
himself to Mr.. Polk--aHd it has been in spite of
the strenuous efforts of one of the editors of the
Globe, who avowed himself an Abolitonist on
the eve of the election, in order, by affectation
of sympathy with them, to induce them to vote
for the Locofoco candidate. 1t is no wonder that
the editor of the Globe should indulge in sple-
netic vein towards the Aboltonists, after failing,
with all his professions Of sympathy to wheedle
them into the ranks of Locofocosm. We have
little doubt that those Abolitonists who approve
the general policy of the Wings have voted for
Mr.. Clay, while many others, from sympathy
with the Locofocos, lave voted for Mr.. Polk
We had no doubt that the honeyed phrases APP
piled by the Globe and Madisonan to the Adolf
Now that no immediate necessity exists for court
ing the third party, those Locofoco organs, we
doubt not, will resume their wonted tone of de-
nunciation towards the Northern fanatics" But
it must not be forgotten that the Madisonian has
eulogised Birney and the third party, and erhort.
ed them to preserve their rganization--pointed
out to them the necessity and Importance of or
ganization to the success Of their plans and i'm.
plored them not to disband bM if they did disband
it was decately limited that they should support
Mr.. Polk
Let it be further remembered that one Of the
editors of the Globe wrote to the editor of the
Boston Post that he was "a better abolitionist
than most of those who belonged to that party !;
detailing, in rather pharsaical manner. his own
efforts to berate men and women from bondage.
In word, the editor of the Globe ia an Adolf
zionist.

therefore. has the modification 10 reflect that.
whatever others sold their votes at he could get
nothing for his and was forced to return homo with
feelings not unlike those of rascaly hucksisr
who has been unsuccessful in imposing his wood
en- nutmegs or sawdust sausages upon the mar
ket-going people.
But no one will credit the story of the Globe
who remembers that the Locofocos succeeded by
the most unparalleled fraud in carrying Balti-
more city month ago by 1000 majority, when
at two elections since they have been unable to
go as high as 500 A desperate effort of pipe
laying was successful for once. but the cxertion
was too great to be repeated

BLADENSBURG AND THE GLOBE.

The editor of the Globe manfests his chagrin
at the result of the election in Maryland by
charging the Wings with bribinS the people. OF
course the editor of the Globe has no proof of
the charge; but then, on the other hand, no
wanted none 1t is the custom Of that print to
charge upon the Wings whatever rascality it
knows lis own party to be guilty of; and as that
is never failing fountain of corruption, the
Wings receive no little bedaubing. The Globe
of yesterday says:
"Maryland Whiggery has proved it's system
to be unfaiIing for that State-that of purchasing
the floating Uote. At our nearest point (Bladens-
burg) the Wings had book-keepers behind the
judges, who watched The ballots as counted out,
and examined their private marks. The judges
permitted The tickets 10 be thus scrutnized by the
book -keepers, who, knowing the mark for each
purchased man, gave him credit openly on the
book for his vote, with view to a settlement.
The general price was SIS Tor the vote in the
October election for Governor and for the Clay
electors; So 30 were paid on the first vote, and
So 81 on the vote Of yesterday BY such means
is Maryland carried for Whiggery."
Tie Globe ought 10 know, and perhaps does
know, that majority Of the poll. keepers at Bla-
densburg are Locofocos and consequently no.
thing like what is here related could have taken
place unless, indeed, the rascalty was transacted
by the Locos themselves. OF that the Globe is
better informed than we pretend to be, and with
the qualification Of substituting Locofocoism''
for Whiggery," and Polk for Clay, we think
the story not improbable.
The editor Of the Globe having offered his own
vote 10 the Maryland market, ought to know
something Of the price of the commodity; but it
u.s. nevertheless, true that his vote was rejected.
The inspectors pronounced the article unsound
and unmarketable. The editor Of the Globe,

FROM BUFFALO, N. Y.
Correspondence of the N. Y. Express
BUFFALO, Nov. l, 1914.

We had very severe gale on the Il h, which
did much damage to the property along the
wharves and canals, and destroyed about sixty
lives. On the 22l we had an earthquake, and on
the evening OF 20 h snow storm set in from The
northeast, which lasted about three days. The
falling in some localities was full three feet deep.
The storm seve-e that it blocked up The
railroads, and delayed passengers and mails for
sume three days. The roads are all clear again,
and The snow RAPIDLY Disappearing This even
ing II rains, and we have some prospect of muddy
roads and plenty Of water fnr nills. AZ well as
thorough drenchng Of the parched earth
Tee shock Of the earthquake felt on tie
morning of the % abonl O'clock and Is de-
scrlbed by all who heard it as resembling he
noise made bv heavy wagon driven rapidly over
fr"zen ground. Tie rumbIing proceed ng ard TO-
lowing the shock. which was STUART enough TO
shake windows, stoves, and CROKER, upon the
she yes. In one instance it threw down a stove,
and in another it cracked the walls uf brick
building. 1t was nored by persons resid ng in
various places over territory Of at least one hun
dred square miles, and how much farther | have
not learned.
The effects of the late gale are very serious,
but still not much az one would have sup
posed from the great amount Of property and
number Of lives exposed. The wind and water
we shall always have, but the foods which they
occasion can in great measure be obviated, and
it seems to me that it must and ought to be DONE
| have no doubt if the Back Rock dam was
removed, and the sea wall continued some four
miles up tire bay, that the water would never
rise here, in the worst gale, high enough to do
any material damage. II is matter of SO much
importance that both the State and General Gov.
ernments should inquire into it.

ton; and every day furnishes evidence that our
surmises were we'll founded. The last Lexing-

A STARTLING DISCLOSURE !--On Saturday
night last, tho Locofoco elector for this district,
Mr.. Willis, of dead mems certificate notorety,
gave utterance to the following Infamous asser-
ton. After telling the Locos that they can carry
Kentucky, by way of still further comforting
them he affirmed, "that The Democratic party had
determined to procure all the notes they could
upon reasonable terms"

could do better than they had done in 1910. From

from the strongholds Of Locofocoism. 1t remains
to be seen whether this promise will be made
