The Baltimore Election,

The Baltimore Erchaage III an article on the
recent election in Baltimore says
"The fact that Mr.. Swami has been re-elec-
ted to the Mayoralty by violence aud fraud is
less discredabe TO our city, than the supposi-
ton that he has been retained in office By the
voluntary sulirages Of It's people. The truth
is, that there was no election on Wednesday,
nor even the form or pretence Of one. From
the opening ofthe polls 10 the morning until
their close in the evening, in nineteen wards in
The citv, they we're occupied and held by bands
of armed buiieS who, with comparatively few
exceptions, as the returns Will show, permitted
nobody TO vote who did not openly show and
vote the ssAmerican" ticket. That ticket
moreover, was so marked upon the back with a
blue chequered oil diamond shaped pattern, re-
sembing that uuon the back Of an ordinary
PLAYING card, that, however folded, it could be
recognized without difficulty in the hand of the
voter. By this means, the secrecy of;he ballot
was enectuaIIy destroyed, and the rufians who
guarded every avenue 10 the polls were enabled
10 tell at a glance whose might be admitted,
and whose were TO be excluded. Not content,
however, with excluding lzga! yoteis opposed
10 the election Of Mr.. Swami, an immense
not less than from two
thirds 10 three lourths of the whole number
purely illegal votes, were cast ia his
iavor-not only men but boys, frequently vo-
tino-not twice or thrice. bat ten or twelve
times, not only in different wards bat in the
same ward moi at different hours Of the day
merely, bat half a dozen times In succession,
with scarcely an attempt at concealment or
disguise. Other votes were polled which were
purely fcttious-tickets being handed 10 the
Judges, aud received by them which were false
Iy represented 10 have been rendered by per-
sons in omnibussrs and carriages, who were
unable to get out aad walk TO the window. In
short every trick OF stratagem which fraud could
invent, aud every extremity TO which violence
could resort, were successfully employed for
the purpose Of electing MIR. Swami"

FIFTY SIX AND FIFTY EIGHT.

Tie aggregate vote for President IN this State,
in 1886, was 400, ,395. OF this number, $780,
ITO were received BY NJ. BucHANAN, and the
remainder, 229,685, were cast forl MEssRs.
FEEuoNr aud FILLMORE a the election just

It is plain, Judging from these statistics, that
Prnnsy lyania is unchanged in her political sta
tus. She is still, as She has been, from her
earliest history, Democratic State. The
Opposition have not made any gains on the
other hand they poll, now, over thirty thousand
votes less han they did two years ago. They

than ours, and it will, therefore, be but necessary
