MANIFESTO OF TIE DEMOCRATIC STATE CENTRAL
COMMITTEE.
To the PEOPLE OF PESNsyLvANIA:.-
Before again addressing you the political Issues
NOV pending before the country, the Democratic
State Central Committee have preferred to wait until
the result of the October election could be ascer
tanned defntively. Tho extraordinary closeness of
the for State officers has delayed the fulfment
of this purpose until the present period. The un-
certainty in which the issue was for some days in
volyed is now to great extent removed and we are
enabled to present definite view of the results,
and of the causes that have produced them.
Notwithstanding the premature exultation of our
opponents, the official returns establish that the de-
mocratic candidate for Canal Commissioner. Israel
Paynter. is elected by between 600 and 600 ma
jority. This IL tribute, due not less to consistent
and we'll tried democrat than the sterling county
of Westmoreland, which has 50 often gladdened our
hearts with Its splendid majorities We regard this

as IL preserves our lines Of internal improvement
from the hands Of n party that has never welded

effected by the loss of eight members in Philadelphia
