Another StupendOus Fraud in
EmbryO!

We have reliable intelligence from New York,
that arrangements are in progress there for the
preparation of another stupendous fraud upon the
people of Pennsylvania at the coming Presidential
eletion. In single ward Of that city, our friends
have ascertained that about one hundred men have
been engaged to come into this State to vote at
the coming election for Cass aud Butler, and we
warn our friends throughout the State, therefore,
to be on the look out for an extensive importation
of voters and to prepare themselves to defend their
rights against these vile agents of Locofocoism.
We give this warning to our friends in time, and
hope they will not permit it to pass by unheeded.
New York is given up by the friends of Cass. as
hopeless, and they will consequently ship as many
of their voters to Pennsylvania as they can find
Judgments for Indeed it is well known, that sew
era prominent custom-house officers, of this city,
have for several days past been in New York, and
it is more than probable that the object of their
mission is to cooperate with the Cass leaders there
in perfecting such measures as will carry PENN
sylyania. Els
We say, therefore, to our friends, be on your
guard, for these imported voters will not only be
distributed in the several wards of the city and
county of Philadelphia, but througout all the coun-
ties bordering on New York and New Jersey.

Frauds i'm PhiIadeIphia.


In the Fourth Congressional District, such gross
frauds in the election have been discovered, that
Mr.. Littell the Wing candidate, is preparing to
contest the right of John Robbins, Jr 10 seat in
Congress-. At some of the polls it appears Mr..
Robbins is returned as having majority greater
than the whole number of votes polled.
To raise dust. and divert public attention, as
soon as these frauds were exposed. the Locofoco
leaders raised cry that Schuylkill county had
been carried for the Wings by fraud. It's well
known what caused the revolution in the coal re-
gion. The fraud and deception practiced by the
Polkies in 1914, to carry this State, and the Anti
American, labor-oppressing Tariffthey established
in 1916, did the business: and those who tor a
time were Indifferent, have now felt the evil, and
demanded by their votes that it be remedied.-
That is the matter in Schuylkill

GLORIOUS VICTORY.
Pennsylvania Rcdeemed!!!
VIM. #. Johnston, elected Governor
Official Majority 351.

1t is with feelings of no ordinary emotion that
we make the above announcement. Late on Fri
day evening, the last returns were received at
Harrisburg, and upon careful investigation it
was asccrtained that Gov. Johnston's official ma
jority is three hundred and ffiyon votes. This
information was communicated, with lightning
speed TO all parts Of the Union, where the Mag
netic Telegraph is established. and thrilled the
hearts of thousands of Wings. whilst it carried
dismay 10 the ranks of Loco Focoism. For up
wards Of week our opponeats had clung to the
vain hope that some news would reach them con-
frmlng their wish that Longstreth was elected =
Their lying newspapers kept up their spirits by
publishing false returns and unfounded rumors OF
majorities, until they actually believed they had
escaped waterloo defeat by the skin Of their
teeth. But the official news came at last and dis
sipated all their fond dreams. And now their
overthrow can no longer be concealed.
The triumph of the Wings is truly glorious
They fought the grand battle upon principle; and
ttluse principles are now victorious. Their STAN
dard bearer, travelled through the State and spoke
to thousands OF his fellows -ciiizens; charming them
with bis eloquence and convincing Them by his
unanswerable arguments. He portrayed the Ia
riff fraud of 1884," in its proper light and called
upon Pennsy ylvanians to rebuke it And they have
done so. Immortal honor to The Keystone State,
for this great result Her voice has gone forth,
and the powers at Washington tremble in their
places. They see in this manifestation of the
popular will, the signal of their doom-and look
for a most Notifying defeat on the 7th of Noyem-
Der. Arouse, then, friends of General Taylor, in
your might, and resolve that you will do your
whole duty at the Presidential Election.

our Victory.

The Wings of other States are selated with the
success OF the friends Of Taylor In Pennsylvania
The good news has spread like wild fire all over
the Union, andis hailed as prestige of the tri-
umphant victory in November The Albany Even
ing Journal expresses its qualification in the fol-
lowing pleasant strain:
Although we have not yet heard from the last
county, it appears safe to claim the Governor.- -
But as Wings have enough besides upon which to
base the claim of glorious victory in that State,
it may he well enough to : crow" by instalments!
We have majority of the members Of Congress.
That is worth three cheers. We will have the
Legislature sure. That deserves thirteen guns.
We will have Wing United States Senator =
That will justify universal shout of exultatiol,.
Now if it shall turn out that we have the Govern
or, Canal Commissioner and the whole vast pat
ronage of the State, why the "Old Keystone

From the Miners Journal.
Infamous.

A gentleman informs US that at the Middleport
POLL on the afternoon of the election, a body oi
men with clubs took possession of the window,
and number of Wings were knocked down and
trampled upon by Locofoco bullies-they were
compelled to resort to weapons, and each Wing
marched up with ballot in one hand and re-
volver in the other, and deposited his vote. About
thirty of the timd Wings did not vote. The Lo-
cofoco Constable took tickets from tile hands of
the Wings and tore them up. Some Of the ring
leaders have been arrested, and we hope a severe
example will be made of them. The Sheriff at
the request of the citizens has. appointed a posse
ofoficers to guard the polls on the 7th of Novem-
Other citizens who had changed were threaten
ed by letters with assassination if they dared to go
to the polls--an Irish laborer who voted the Wing
ticket in Norwegian township, was waylaid in the
evening by some of his countrymen, and beaten

business men, Of our borough who decided to &c

whose names ought to be publicly promulgated,

people from voting. Oh shame! shame

Singular Case of Amalsamation.

About three weeks ago, says the N. 7. Tribune.
a package containing $3,7O0 was stolen from on
board one of the boats plying between this City
and Norwich, Conn; and thus far no satisfactory
clue has been obtained likely to lead to the recov-
cry of the money. Yesterday negro, well known
10 the public as Bob Moore, and one of New Eng
lands fair daughters, young woman who gave
her name as Maria Hutchinson, were arrested at
a house in Mulbery-st. on suspicion of having
committed the robbery. Onquestioning the latter
respecting her acquaintance with Moore, she sta
ted that she was the daughter OF respectable and
and influential citizen of Vermont, and that about
six weeks ago, in consequence of an alteration
with her father, she ran away from home. and in
Boston got acquainted with colo-ed sailor, named
Hutchinson, whom she married, and avowed her
intention of returning home with him, in order to
mortify her parents as much as possible, on .ac-
count of the course of conduct which they had
pursued toward her. After being married to Hutch
inson about fortnight, he shipped on board ves-
sci at Boston rather precipitately, having previous
" become acquainted with Moore. and introduced
him to his wife. No sooner had Hutchinson well
got out of Boston Harbor, than Moore commenced
making love to his friends wife, and finally sue
ceeded in pursuading her to come to this city with
him. On their arrival here they engaged apart
ments at house in Mulberry street where they
have been living as man and wife. The latter ap-
pears to have received a liberal education. and
converses freely respecting her situation, but re-
fuses to give her maiden name, having, in some
measure, changed her mind on the subject of dis
gracing her parents. At tpresent she and her COL
ored paramour remain in prison for farther exam
inailon.
