The causes given IN our paper yesterday for our
defeat IN Pennsylvania, become more strengthened
and confirmed the facts come in from tho distant
parts Of the S,ate As . eotemporary says ssths
elements fought against u.s." In the cities, towns,
and villages, where the voters could best get TO the
polls, and where the wings are strongest the vote
Is generally fullest In such places the man iacturers
could operate 10 the best advantage too Ia the sx-
ricoitaral Districts where the democracy are 10 be
tonnd IN their strength, there is immense falling
ON But 10 the other causes we limited at, az much
al least Is TO be charged to the storm Wherever
the tsrih issue was boldly made, have sue

not hayng made The issue in every part Of the Ststs
iuly and fairly, the overthrow may in great meas
ure, be painfully ascribed. Painfully, because we
prefer TO see the democratic party boldly messinx

OF the State. The city and county Of Philadelphia
did nobly. Charles Brown, opposed the tariff OF

Henry Clay over 1000 majority.
Colonel Florence, who advocated most strenu-
ously the tariff Of 1896 has reduced the nsiority

has reduced the majority in the ID district 81 j. r.

Bradford county, ayowed friends Of the ne tariff
are chosen, and so we might multiply ins,a ces OF
the good effects OF standing 10 the tariff On the

there were no issues between the par'ics-sll were
1872 lAriff candidates The daily Keystone tells tho
astonishing fact that sin the interior our party lead
ers fought under the banner of repeal of the arff
OF lo46." In such cases, defeat was richly mer-
ited, and here, says the same paper ''the farm
ers refused To go TO the polls on thai aoeounip u
correspondent OF the New York Evening Post,
after stating that "the storm was terrific, such an
never recollect, that 1t certainly did keep baek q
greater number of our voters than whgs The latter
hsing nearer 10 the country towns and nearer 10 Tho
polls" gives other reasons for our defeat, in the
many grounds OF dissenson in the party The
rennsylvanian gives the following instances at ran

vote from these causes combinsdi

The Times says:
hmos tno uhS protccuODistB have
inundated the State with every species Of misrepro
sentanon; and, according to the adagc, Error win
travel league while truth is pulling her boots on,'
we have been suddenly and bitterly made To- feel
their efecls.p
Under such circumstances we could not expect
victory but is Pennsylvania u whig State The
wings claim II as "irrevocably and forever sou
This only exhibits the usual extrayapunce of their
reoeings as Is always the case with their anticipa
uons' We have lost Pennsylvania before, under
less encouraging circumstances for the future, and
says;
"our party rallies only after defeat. It has always
been SO, and Its very character makes il certain il
will so continue. The agricultural interests will
rise to rescue, though not always to save.
Pennsylvania is a democratic State, and can al
ways be relied on when there proper issue to in
duce full vote.n
Yes, tisa democratic State,n and our reverses
no,c will mainly serve to give glorious victory
at the next trial, when she win stand redeemed,
regenerated, disenthralled."
