Pennsylvania State Election.

Many OF our shrewd Democratic Jour
nails who regard Pennsy lvania safe 70,
Cass and Butler, have all along conceded
The probable election of Johnson. The
following is what the Troy Commercial
Advertiser said on the day of election:
One week ago,we gnve our readers some
villa. n, large, the reasons why we though,
JOHNSTON, the Whig candidate for Cover
nor, nigh be elected, while Cass and But.
ler would carry the State by a triumphant
majority.
Among other reasons, we stated thai,

THE Van Buren, Abolilion pnrty. s
This vote must reach, at sale calcuia
tion. $4,000. Before the Van Buren, Alb
olilion party was organized in Pennsylva-
MIA, the abolitionisis numbered about T.
600. Take in 1000 democrats, who will
jim them, and you have 5000; and we
not particle of doubt that .OUO Quaker
wings and Abolition wings. will swell the
Van Buren Abolition vote at the Presiden-
tial election to 1900.
These all vote to-day for Governor
JOHNSTON. None of them vote for Gen.
erai Taylor. How large majority, then.
must Gov Johnston get in order to secure
the state for Gen Taylor? Clearly, not
less than $4,000; or the vote of the Van
Buren, Party more or less.
In reference to the ''lree..oil'' Van Bu.
rem Abolition party. the N. Y. Tribune of
Wednesday last, takes the view expressed
by us on ! nesday. 1t says:
"Gov Johnston ought to receire the
cote Of EVERY free Sol man in the State.
He is no new convert but The author and
leading advocate OF the Legislative Reso-
'utions which placed Pennsylvania rrgh,
on this question long before there was any
prospec, Of his being candidate for Gcv-

Gov. Johnston. then, receives the votes
of taoo parties. The vote of both may e.
'ect him. Gen. Taylor will receive the
vote of but one Of the two The election
of Jonston is therefore probable, and the
defeat OF Taylor in that State certain.

Eov MIR. Smithson got a Wife:

There will be great deal Of marry ing
and giving in marriage this Fall. Indeed
the happy pastime has already become a
serious one-in extent only. We advise
both sexes to be on the alert-for just as
certain as a snuf'er to a candle, all the girls
or all the men, we don't know which will
be married and out of the way before the
year is out A war, of determination : in
a matchmaking sense--is going on, and
lonliness be into those who do not feel and
acknowledge its influence. The heads OF
families are wide awake, no one can doubt
who reads the following. .
Mr.. Smithson, (a1 improvement on the
celebrated name of Smith) wished to take
Miss Brownly (another improvement te

macy with the family for about tve years
but s'never spoke Of love" on the contrary

had spent the preceding evening with tht
family, before he could answer howeve

numb ber) had gathered about him. Sum
moning all his courage he said
Il have come to ask you >
Not here James-no now ohp
| 'That is,' stammered Smithson, sif you're

sOh! oh water, quick shrieked Jane.
What's that enquired her father, 'wh'

Then advancing and taking poor Smith

The vote of New York.

Although the vote Of New York is not
deemed necessary to the success Of the
Democratic nominees for President and
Vice President, We are happy TO learn
from the Buffalo Courier, that throughout
The entire Stute there exists a spirit OF de-
termination with the Democracy, that gives
US reasonable prospect of elecling the
patriotic and eminent men nominated for
Stats officers and securing the thirly-six
ELECTORAL votes Of New York to swell the
majority of CAss and BuTLER The De-
mocracy of the Empire State triumphed
in 1914; not only oyer the common enc
my. but over traitors in their own ranks:
and with proper exerlions, like result
