No matter whether the Keystone State has
gone for US or not at this election the history of
that State since 1886 shows we can carry it in
November.
In 1886, the Democrats carried Pennsylvania
in October by large majority but in Novem-
Der. Van Buren, had only a majority of 1894
In 1910, in October, the Democrats again car
ried it by 1919, bnt in November, Harrison car
ried it by 3i9.
In lS4s, in October, the State went for the
Democrats by 1886, but in November, General
Taylor swept it by 1854.
In 1852, the Democrats carriedit at both cleo
tons, but Scott poiied larger tie in Novem-
Dor than was given by the Democrats at the DC.
tober election.
Thus II is rendered certain that the Republi.
cans can carry Pennsylvania in November

A New Development.-Flllm NOT to
Get before the House.


Some of the friends of Fillmore have fatter-
ed themselves with the delusive hope, that in
case the Presidential election should go into
the House Of Representatives, their candidate
will come out triumphant. Not few who at
one time entertained such hope, abandoned it
when they were informed of the possibility that
the Buchanan party might sacrifice their leader
and make Mr.. Breckenridge, who would of course
he elected to the Vice Presidency by the Sem
ate, shoulder the burdens and honors of the
Presidency. That such consummatiOn was
at one time determined upon by the party lea
ders, there is no reason to doubt, but recent de-
velopments indicate change Of policy. 1t is
now proposed by the BUCCANEERS not to permit
Mr. Ellmore's name 10 go before the House at
all, in the event of there being no choice by
the people, but to cast the electoral vote of one
or more Buchanan States Tor Daniel s. Dicken-
son of New York, or some other equally relia-
BILE pro-slavery democrat, and thus compel
choice between Mr. Fremont and the Cincinnati
platform men. The advantage of this policy
over the former one consists IN this fact, that
in the first place it destroys the last supposed
chance Of Fillmore, that in the second place it
may possibly secure the election of Buchanan,
and lastly If it should not, then Mr.. Brecken-
ridge can come in as under the first proposed
scheme. How it is proposed to keep Mr.. Fill
er shows in the following paragraphs:
'Conceding, for the sake of argument and
for that sake only, that Fillmore shall carry Ma
ryland-the only state in either the north or
south in which his party makes even a SEM
blance of contest-the electoral vote of Mary
land beng but eight, the electors of any single
Buchanan state having only nine votes-Georgia
for instance, with ten votes-nay prevent Fill
more's name getting before the House by cast
ing her poll Tor, say u. S. Dickinson. For, the
constitution requiring the House to choose from
the three, who receiving the highest vote in the
electoral college, Mr. Fillmore, being behind
Buchanan, Fremont and Dickinson would be
dropped as fourth rate.
"But using more violent suppositon and as
suming that Fillmore by miracle would receive
MS many as sixty electoral votes: even then his
name could not get before the House. For no
one pretends that Mr.. Buclauans vote in the
electoral college can be less than l25 by any pos
sibility-which, if the Buchanan electors, by
agreement, divide it equally between Buchanan
and say, Mr.. Dckenson,-w give each a lar
ger vote than Fillmore, keep Fillmore ont of the
House, and compel choice by that body be
tween Fremont and one or the other, Buchan-
an or Dickinson. What then becomes of all the
twaddle and gable about the certainty of Fill
more's election? The hope of getting his name
before the house-the only hope ON which it is
based-the hope Of gambling him into the Pres
idency-is hope which the democracy, if
they choose, can as easily crush out as they can
tread out the life of worm."- Chicago Press
