PENNSYLVANIA.

Address of the Wing State Committee.
For their late untOward, and for the most
part unnecessary defeat the Wings Of Pennsyl-
yania owe an explanation and apology TO their
brethren in other States.
Several causes combined to produce the re-
yult, and we deem it our duty to set them forth,
for the benefit Of those who may be too far away
from the scene of action to understand them.
1t is well known to us all, that our oppO-
pents, under the lead of scores of collectors,
supervisors, railroad agents, and other expe-
rienced and interested politicians, are always
0rcanized-aways ready for the contest, no
matter how trifing- always able to poll their
full rote for all regularly nominated candidates of
the party, whether for Town Constable or for
President.
The Wings, on the other hand, can boast
comparatively few politicians They have in
their ranks thousands of quiet, retiring citizens,
who. though they will rally with great enthu-
siasm around the standard Of a Presidential
candidate. and sometimes even make bold
stroke for Governor, yet who think and care so
little for minor Offices, it is nearly impossible to
have them at the polls on such occasions as the
last. The difference between the election just
over and the one at hand will prove this TO be
true.
In 1910 the Wings were beaten by 5000 at
State for Harrison.
In 1s4s, the Wings lost their Canal Commits
sioner. although it was Governors election"
and although their candidate for Governor by
the most strenuous personal effort had brought
ont a large vote, and been himself elected
Though al the polls they seemed to care so little
for the office, they permitted Mr.. Middleswarth,
one of the best and ablest men in the State, TO
be beaten by thousands. Three weeks afterward
Gen. TAYLOR carried the Electoral vote OF Penn
sylyania by 1880 majority. These instances
are full of significance, and are only cited 10
cheer the hearts of our friends at distance.
Those near at hand are neither discouraged nor
intimidated, but reused To mghtier eXertiOns.
Sereatu-fre thousand uOteS acre not p0tled at
the last election. Nay, many more than these,
but seventy-iive thousand that will be cast in
November. Two-thirds OF these may be safely
act down as Wing No man will dispute this
who understands the politics of Pennsylvania.
There is no danger as long as the Loco-Foco
vote does not increase. In not single County
of the State has il increased Two-thirds OF
these brck UOtcrS, we repeat, are higs. Ana
this alone will enable us to overcome the ap-
patiently large majority of our adversarles,
independent of other considerations.
But there are other considerations In
Pepns, lyana there are thousands of Democrats
who never in their lives voted W mig llchct,
and perhaps never will again, that will support
General Scott, openly and vigorously, and still
Others who will uphold him secretly. These
voting "off and ON" count double General
Scott is many thousands stronger than his party.
His high and untarnishod character, his long
services and glorious career, are irresistible
claims with his cOuntrymen. No matter what
party they belong to, they will not suffer him TO
be set aside.
In nine Counties Of the State, we can rely
with certainty on gain of $4,000; and III
twenty Counties (including these nine), a sufii-
cient gain to overcome the whole LOcO-fOc0
majority for Judge and Canal Commissioner.
On the other hand, We confidently predict that
there are not eight Counties where our Loco
Foco friends will be able 10 gain on us, or even
to hold their own. In all others we shall either
increase our own majority or diminish theirs,
and in some of them very largely
In Allegheny Luzerne, Dauphin, Union, Ian
caster, and many others, local causes and local
warfare contributed to our heavy losses. Our
friends abroad may rely they will glorlousy VIM
dictate themselves on the I'd of November.
A full vote is always Wing victory, and iull
vote We are determined 1t shall be. fennsyi-
vania will be true to her own great interests
