BALTIMORE, Oct. 1910 p. m.
There was time, not many days ago, when /
had some misgivings as to the result Of the Pre-
sidential contest. The Pioneer dispatches which
were sent off by Locofoco authority, Of the recent
elections in Ohio and Pennsylvania, freighted as
they were with falsehood, in the absence of real
facts and figures, caused me to pause a little, and
apprehend the possibility Of defeat. Now, how
ever, the smoke Of the battle has cleared away,
the clouds have passed of, and begin to see q
bright and cheerful sky. Ohio, instead of going
Democratic by her twenty thousand, as Mr..
Medeary's dispatches would have us believe, will,
ON the vote for supreme judge, according to the
Official figures, not be over seven thousand and
the congressional vote will be nearly equal, if
not Wing, by moderate majority. Thus, the
monster Democratic majority in Ohio has dwin-
died down to comparative nothing, leaving it
beyond all doubt or question that Scott will carry
the State in November next, by twelve to fifteen
thousand
Pennsylvania, too, has done infinitely better
| than she was first represented Her majority for
| the Democratic canal commissioner will not be
| over ten thousand. He who runs may read in
the returns, as they now come to us in unmis-
taxable figures, that the Wings made very little
effort in the last election. They suffered it, ex-
cept in some special districts, for special pur-
poses, to 60 almost by default. Wherever they
did make o fight, there we find they gained
largely. 1t is also shown that the regular Wing
vote of Pennsylvania is nearly thirty thousand
short, whilst the Democratic vote is almost full,
showing fact which has long been Observed
that the Wings of Pennsylvania never have and
never will turn out at State election. We may
then calculate fully upon q reserve vote--a sort
of Sire in the rear" which will come up in Penn
sylvania on the second day of November next,
and surprise the Pierce ranks wonderfully. You
may put down Pennsylvania for General Scott as
sure as the sun shines, and that by majority of
10, 900 to $4,000
Of the great Empire State of New York, no in
tellgent man entertains doubt that she will go
for him who fought the battles of her northern
and northwestern frontier. This is settled
point. We now have the three great States, and
with them enough others, and to spare, to erect
an electoral column which proclaims to all ma
items that General Scott is President of this
mighty republic Is there any Wing that doubts
or falters in his duty? If SO, let him think of
these things, and be Of good cheer
Let me say to your readers that old Maryland
is SAFE Yes, sound to the hearts core! The
recent Democratic triumph in Baltimore was not
q Democratic, but sectional victory on the
school question. All sensible men Democratic
and Whig) perfectly understand this.
l have this moment received telegraphic des-
patch from an intelligent and influential Wing
in Louisiana, which left New Orleans to-day.
The author sends it with all the exaggerated re-
ports about Democratic triumphs in Ohio, Penn
sylvania, Indiana, and Baltimore before him. He
says, most emphatically, that Louisiana will, be-
yond oil possible shadow Of doubt, 60 for Scott.
Of this there is not even question. Put her
down as incontrovertibly safe. CHESAPEAKE.
