Philosophy of the Late Election.


Now that we can Judge Of the result Of the cleo
tons in the State, We can form an opinion in regard
to their bearings on the leading measures before
the country, and on their influence on the approach
ing Presidential canvass.
In regard to the measures, would state but two
facts, which ought to be generally noted
First, That the election Of VIM. Bger settles
the compromise measures Of the last Congress, and
kills both Mr.. Buchsnan's Anticipated notion of 30
80, and the still more extravagsnt notion of Mr.
Dallas " amendment of the onstitution."
Second, Tha, the election Of Col Bger does not
amount to an unconditional endorsement of the
tariff of 1876 Bigler did not so endorse that tariff
on the stump and his friends in all the mining
counties of the State openly declared themselves
and him in favor of q modification Of the duty on
IRON BY reference to the returns you will perceive
that IL is precisely the mining counties which rolled
up heavy msiorites for Bigler, under the belief
that Bger would be able to DO more for the staple
products Of Pennsylvania than Col Johnson, the
sboitonist, who assumed attitude hostile TO the
South. AS an instance, take Schuylkill county. In
which the democratic ticket gained over 400 votes
over the elections in 1913.
AS to the Presidential question, II was fought

This results from the peculiar formation Of society
