Coon TIpINes.-A letter from WashinQ-

Coon TIDINGs.--A letter from Washing
ton City, under date of the 2lst, is filed with
glad intelligence. Says the correspondent,
"the late election in Pennsylvania, altho'
resulting dsasirously to our State candida
ties, has revealed to US the gratifying fact
that we can carry Pennsylvania in Novem-
Der, and it may now be set down as certain
that we shall. Official returns from fifty-one
counties show that 4O,7l3 of the votes Civ
en- in ls4S were not pollcd, of which 80, 1913 /
were Wing. These are more than enough |
to have given us an overwhelming victory. |
So far, therefore, from being respondent, !
we are full OF confidence; for we aOw know
what our real strength is. We shall have
| all these votes out in November, and more
/ from the other side. Active efforts are be-
ing made for this purpose, and will be con-
tinucd up to the last hour. We have other
grounds for confidence in the vote Of Penn
sylvania, aside from those above given,
which Iced us to believe the State is PER-
FECTLY SAFE.
ONO has done nobly-far better than we
had dared to anticipate. More than half of
lastyear's disheartcning majority has already
been swept away in the late conflict; and
we feel full assured that, with another effort
like the last, and with Scott to "lead the
column" all remaining opposition will be
scattered like chaff before the whirlwind.
Rely upon it, then, THAT VICTORY is OURS,
if we only have the will to win it. Vermont,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut
New York, Delaware, Maryland, North
! Carolina, Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, and
; California, are all with US. OHIO will as
. suredly be with US, and PENNSYLVANIA
will not be omitted in this glorious constel-
lation.
f Call upon your friends, therefore, to STAND
: FIKM-FfGHT HARD-AND YIELD NOTHING.
y Let the battle cry go through the ranks :
= ''To WORK wHIGs!-HAvE EVERY VOTER OUT"
To this labor, let every good Wing give
: his earnest, Jealous, efforts. Let this be
done, and done thoroughly; and we may
u then count with full confidence on victory
worthy of being chroncled with Chippewa!
Churubusco and Chapultepec!
g ON, THEN, TO VICTORY"
! THE ELECTION DAY APPRoACHEs!-Be-
y ware Of frauds! Beware of undue nhuenc-
es! Vote the convictions of an honest
+ mind Be frecmen and reject with scorn
t every effort made to change your deiibcra-
: lively formed Intentions Gen. Scott has
u for over forty years, devoted himself to the
. service OF his country, and has NEVER
It FAILED in the performance of public du-
e ties. He has NEVER STOOD BACK in
u the hour of danger. He has NEVER FAL
;. TERED in the hour when his efforts were
n required. Is it possible, them that you, al
l. American citizen, can hesitate to vote fo
Vt him, when there stands opposed to him
e man, who, say his own biographers, PreIer'
4 the "pcace and quiet" of his own homa Il
e public scrvice!" If merit, il distinguishes
Y, public services,i years Of patriotic devotion
II TO the country's interests, arc worthy Of re
:; ward, then, indeed, does Gen. Scott stan'
t. forth, head aud shoulders above them all
he deserving Of your support. We appeal II
s. you, Americans, to throw aside party prciu
y, ~ dices, and rally around the standard of lin
s, who, in the hour Of trial ur of triumph, ha
:. gallanty sustaincdthe flag Of your country
. both at home and abroad. You cal
n vote for noworthier man, you can sustain n
ie worthier principles. Vote, vote wlhou
s. dictaton, vote as frecmcn, and we know
8, then that your vote will be for WINFIELD

81 THE CnIPpEwA CLUB.-By far the larges
II evening meeting of the campaign convcne'
n at the Court House, last evening, to heu
II the speeches of Messrs. Fitzgerald and Ed
l. wards. These two gentleman Kept tn
n large audience together until nearly elevei
,e o'clock, and the utmost enthusiasm pre-
ne vailed throughout. The speeches were abl
RI and impressive, and in their remarks abou
!" the slandcrcrs of Gen. Scott, must have male
N such men feel, if they have any feelings
e left. There arguments upon the tariff
's question had good effect. They spoke
> from experience and the conclusions t
.r which they came, cannot be avoided by
II free trade men. Prot. -Ftzgerald's remark,
If upon this subject were truely eloquent, ii
l. was his speech throughout The meeting
!" was glorious one, and will have a goot
effect

q INDEPENDENT FREEMEN!-You live in
= country where each voter has right to cx
: ercise his own judgment. No man dare Of
- fer to control your vote by any other means
q than that Of argument. II he does, he il
: liable to be punished. Many Of you, who
}, have hitherto acted with the Opposition, now
0 desire to cast your votes for Winfield Scott
Do so, without fear, and no man dare modest
you. Thank God! we live in a country
). where man is free, and the petty tyrants who
! would control him by the despoiism of par.
l. ty, cannot fetter his judgment or in anywise
o control his actions. II the attempt
t. is made, let the fact be published, aud these
u petty tyrants will find that they live in @
country where the laws visit them with it,
i severcst penalties, and where the people will
j trant them with sunrnnip cnntpmnt
