Editors Pioneer -
DEAR SIRs-The Republicans of the
old keystone have sustained temporary
defeat. Be assured it was not real one.
They are stronger here to-day than their
enemies in the arena of politica! strife
The majority against US is bare ma
Jority considering the number of votes
polled in the State, which are about 1873
600. All the counties heard from foot
the majority at 2, 999 votes. This is not
formidable one, and can be overcome
on the 4th OF next month. We are beat
en- IN the STATE, then, in round numbers,
by 5000 votes-and in the city, by 3, 400.
Thus it will be seen that the Gutta Per-
cha ticket was beaten in the Rural Dis
tricts, by the Union State Ticket, 400
votes. This city alone saved them from
annihilation, land here the fraudulent votes
polled by the Gutta Perchians, far ex-
ceeds in number the majority they OBJ
tanned. These facts suggests startling
views Of the base corruptions resorted to
here to defeat the will of the people
These robbers Of the sanctity of the bal
lot box will have little chance TO repeat
their Infamous deeds, as they are under
a surveillance that will detect and properly
punish all these outrages upon the rights
of the citizen. These frauds are now the
subject of legal investigation in the prop
er city court; VIM. B. Mann, union
candidate for district Attorney contesting
Lewis G. Cassady's claim to the same
office, declared to be elected on the Gutta
Percha ticket. If the vllainies can be
proved-all, or majority Of them-the
result would be, majority in the State,
if not in the city for the union ticket A
desperate game was played here on the
4th inst: in one of the precincts in the
1st ward, sixteen men at one time came
forward to vote. Their right to do SO
was questioned by Republican Judge
Hereupon some ten more came forwsrd
to "youch" for them-to suear to THEN

tered by the judges of the election. This
being done, they were allowed to vote,
and done so. The sequel proves, howev

or ever had lived at the places or mum
