In the above returns, which comprise only about
fourth Of the State, there is falling off in the
popular vote of 1882, which, multiplied by four,
will show probable falling off in the whole State
of ,292; and at least 40 900 voters in the ordi
nary ratio of increase did not vote at the Cover.
nor's election, we have grand total of 80 900 vo-
tiers be brought to the polls the second day OF
November, when the whole vote of the State will
be over 400 900. As there usually many Wings
who fail to vote in State that is in the hopeless
control of the opposition at State election like
the present, the Wings confidently expect to OBJ
tain sufficient number of these backward voters
to give the State to General Scott.
Again, the tariff question will operate in certain
sections Of the State to give large Democratic vote
to General Scott. In Crawford county, General
Dick, the Wing candidate for Congress- received a
considerable majority, whilst the Democratic State
ticket was carried by 900 majority. In the 18th
district also, which gave Governor Bigler 1900
majority, the Wing candidate for Congress lie beat
by less than 100 votes. These facts are regarded
distinctly showing that on national politics quite
different vote will be given to that local affairs
governed by local causes. The Democrats also re.
ceived the entire Native American vote, number
ing some 5000, for their candidates for State Off
GERS, which will be divided between GENERALS Scott
and Pierce.
The latest intelligence from Ohio indicates thai
the Democratic majority on the State ticket will be
from 200 to 900, whilst the vote cast is very small
at least 1000 less than it will be in November
The Democrats there are also in the control of the
State government; and with so large u falling of
in the popular vote it is commended that the Whig'
the greatest losers. The majority to over
come is small; and it may be regarded as fact
founded on all precedent, that the Wings in Penn
sylvania, Ohio, and New York, are always at leas
10000 stronger in the ratio of the popular vote or
national affairs than ON State affairs Even in Ma.
ryland the Wings have always been from three t,
four thousand stronger on national than State af
fairs; and if the apparent reverses do not checl
the Wing enthusiasm, the prospects of Genera
Scott are regarded by the Wings of Baltimore al
better and more certain than they were before
either Of these State elections were held.
The recent elections, being for State officers
have also developed nothing of the personal popu
larity Of General Scott, who must be and is tn,
admiration and pride of every true American
How far this admiration will influence their vote
for making him President has not yet been ascer
tanned; but in the ordinary Of affairs voter
are apt to vote for a man they have known an.
esteemed for half century, in preference to on
that is known only by name to exist, that nam
having figured but little in comparison in tn
| affairs of the nation.

DEATH from CHLoRoroRM.-A death from the
administration of chloroform recently took place
stated: can Irish woman, of about thirty-two
years of age, named Winn, whose husband lives
in the city, applied on Saturday about ~ O'Clock,
to have finger amputated DR.. Pope admins
tered chloroform to enable him to perform the op-
Grafton without causing pain to the patient and
coon as she had inhaled what was deemed by
him sufficient quantity, the surgical operation
was performed but a brief time afterwards. She
died almost Immediately. We learn from DR.
Pope, says the st. Louis Inteliigencer, that the
amount inhaled was by no means large, whilst II
administered by himself in the most approved
manner; and as he has been accustomed to use i,
for several years almost daily, the cause Of the
death is unaccountable, and will probably remain
amystery."
