spEcuLaTIoNs AFTER THE ELECTION.

One of the opposition journals in the city OF New
York-the Times belevedoes not think the late go-
ros result in Pennsylvania any test Of the strength OF The
administration and of Nebraska policy The editor
surely forges that the night Of the day that President
Pierce addressed twentone OF the yeomanry OF the
Old keystone at Harrisburg the committees OF the aooli-
ton know-nothing, and whg parties assembled in the
same place. and fused their several factions into one mass
under the banner Of Thomas Nicholson who said to
have the necessary merits Of being wbg abotonis and
know-nothing all combined We presume he has also for
gotten that these committees issued address the pee
pic of Pennsylvania in which they this emphatic Ian
guage:

party having each nominated candidate for canal commits

ton Arnold Pumer, the lrostacey Nbroka candidate
In view OF these facts meeting of respective central
committees of said parties held at Harrisburg Thurs
day. the 9th of September, 1885, and their nominees having
declined withdrawn Thomas Nicholson of Beaver
county nominated the candidate of the said parties
for purpose Of concentrating the rotes Of the anti Nebraska

The issue was distinctly made by this appeal of the flu

democracy is sure to triumph champions

In reference to the result in Ohio another OF the op

THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION AT

The Albany Argus directs attention to the fact that one
Of the delegates to the National Democratic Convention

this delegate and knownohing nominee has been conspc-
uousy persistent in opposing all propositions fora reunion
Of the democracy of New York, and the Argus well re-
marks Such circumstance this is well calculated to
open the eyes of democrats and lead them to scan well
the conduct and designs Of those who insist upon perpe
aing democratic disunon' We have seen with regret
frequent nmaons that there existed secret UNDER
standing between the knownothngs and of the lead
of the harshe democrats. The existence Of such
suspicion makes the advice of the Argus altogether proper
