Pennsylvania Election.

We have kept columns open till the latest moment,
for the purpose of giving the result of the election in the
old keystone Commonwealth, which took place on Tues
day last The returns which have reached us however
give accurate information, upon which we can base
calculation to the complexion of the State lagisa-
ture or the members elected to Congress We grieve to
say however, that present appearances indicate loss TO
the democratic party Telegraphic dispatches from
friends in Philadelphia and Harrisburg received at 10
o'clock last night, inform that Johnston, the wing
candidate for governor elected by majority of about
1000!
The wings, in rejoicing this triumph, claiming
that they have broken down Governor Shunks majority
in ls47, which was 1876 his wing opponent, and
thus have effected change in the State amounting to up
wards of twenty thousand In this they reckoning
without their host and only deceiving their friends,
without imposing upon the democracy in other States
Let the facts speak for themselves.
AT the election of 1914 Shunks majority over Markle
was pol. AT that election there but two cand
dates-democrat and whig; all the abolitonists and
natives voted for the whg candidate In ls47 Governor
Shunk's majority over Irwin was 1876 but this
mere plurality majority, and not majority of all the
voes polied AT that election there "natfve Amer
can and an aboition" candidate in the field. Emanuel
Lemoyne the abolition candidate, obtained 1861 votes
and six votes scattering Add these 10 the vote given to
Irvn the wing candidate and it leaves only majority
for Gov. Skunk of Sl9!
If the State has gone against u.s. therefore, by MAORI
y of two thousand in consequence OF the local causes
which have been made operate in the gubernatoria
election, this victory OF the wing party, with the aid of
nativeism, aboonism and all the isms which known
to the modern political vocabulary, is not great but
that it will be gloriousy overcome by the ndomitable
spirit of the on-hearted democracy of old democratic
Pennsylvania, when fairly reused to put forth their giant
strength the 18th of next month. In the Keystone
Commonwealth, the democratic party never faltered in
presidential contest, but in solitary instances and for
that substantial reasons be assigned. She WILL we
hope and believe fail not to redeem her high reputation
when called upon to vote for LEWIS CAss and VIM o.
BUTLER.

turns, as reported in the ln.eliigencer, are salts
led the result in the State is favorable the demoe
racy They are more favorable to the wings than a,
s,imate made by democratic friend well acquainted
with the State before the election in which the success Of
he democratic candidate for governor is predicted by
bout 500 majority and yet, in the very counties named
in the Inteigencer he gives the wings larger vote than
he IaseLtgeneer dams those reports.
We are assured that the entire southern portion OF Flor
ia is decidedly democratic, and has always been so
The couahes OF Monroe, Dade, San Lucie, Hlsborough
Benton and Orange, cannot be all fully heard from for
some days-perhaps not for eight days hence and the
democratic malortes In those counties will ouibaanee

state We are assured further. that have not lost

governor and democratic majority in the legislature
the virgin of the State OF Florida will be bestowed

of 1912; she is not for federal national bank she is
not for abolition of the veto power, and her citizens

More Of the Sayings OF Gen. Taylor.


In his April letter TO the editor of the Richmond Repub
can, Gen. Taylor hits the Clay wings most unwelcome
crack over the knuckes 81 do not (says hey design 10
withdraw my name if Mr.. Clay be the nominee OF the
Wing Convention"
Continuing his letter. he further says: at has not been
my intention, at any moment to change my position, or
to withdraw my from the canvass, whoever may be
the nominee OF the National Convention, either OF the
wing or democratic party
No wonder that such strange course OF conduct one
utterly ndefensibe, should have brought down upon
his head the decided i'll feeling and dsapprobaton OF
every real friend OF Henry Clay No wonder at the deep
modification they felt for bold and open violation OF
all party obligations And the great surprise now E that
these very Clay men, after so direct an insult to thepo-
hcal captain, should be found the Generals advo-
and supporters 1t is really among the most strange
and unaccounabe circumstances all past history,
for to thus openly and publicly proclaim that he
will not withdraw, whoever may be the nominee Of his
party That condescension and forbeaance must be Of
peculiar texture, indeed, which yield friendly en-
brace TO the author of such unkind remarks And we
much mistaken if Gen. T. is not long, made fully
sensible of the deep extravaganza of his in this
ridiculous stab the feelings of Mr. Clay and his friends

Never perhaps, the sterling democracy OF this
old veteran Jackson aroused to exerton than at
this moment. The democratic journals there fighting

when so trumphanty carried that bright and shining
star of the southern constellation.

most industriousy and ardeny in the good cause, thus
aludes to a spirited meeting in New Orleans the pre-
