tain your distinguished neighbor because

PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION

The 9Th Of October, the day Of the State
Election Pennsylvania is near at hand
Though decision of that election in favor
| of Foster, the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, would not be decisive as to the result
Of the Presidential Election in that State, it
would have a strong bearing on it, and for
that reason We may believe that every thing
will be done which can be done to secure a
Democratic victory. Its hardly possible,
however, that such daring and extensive
frauds will be attempted as were success
fully praeticol in 1856. Their exposure
Will be IN the way Of their repetition. What
ever is done in that line will have to be con-
Quoted with extreme caution. Oftho prospect
as to that election, the Philadelphia North
American, noted as a careful paper in max
Ing up and expressing its opinions on such
subjects, says as follows
The eyes Of the country are turned with
hope in some quarters and with apprehen-
sion in others, on this State, as the great
central figure in tho approaching political
struggle. 1t is the turning point of the
canvass We feel the magnitude of the re-
sponsibility, and appreciate the public in
terest with which every indication from here
is valued. Our information from all PARTS
of the interior Is as complete as practicable.
and extends in detail to most Ct the counties.
The organization is better than for wears
rast and the enthusiasm inspired by good
cause and the certainty Of a coming victory,
has no parallel but that of 1910. And in
the northwest and western portions of the
State, the feeling even exceeds that memora-
bic period. Our confidence in the result is |
confirmed by all the intelligence from every
quarter and we have the best reason to be. !
lieve that Mr.. Curtin s majority Will range |
from Is. 900 to 20, coo, and may far exceed /
it. His election is beyond doubt by large
majority, the extent Of which may be deter
mined by various contingencies None of
them can reduce his strength, and some of
them may augment it ma terially
A very false impression has been indus
triously circulated, with sinister objects, as
t, the vote of this city. We claim to know
something of the elements Of which 1t is COM
posed, and whoever supposes that three DO
ijtical managers can sit down in Il parlor of

and sell out thousands Of respectable men By
wholesale, will find foolish delusion'eHect-
ually exploded on the 9th of October The
sincere friends of Mr.. Bell, who supror thin
from respect and principle, do not mean to
be transferred to the service of his lifelong

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTORS.


The General Assembly Of this State VIII
oonvene next week Thursday. There
will be nothing to make its opening scenes
especially different from those OF the AM
pual Sessions for several years back. The
organization of the Senate can make no de-
Law. and that Of the House is not likely to
make any Probably the Canvassng Com
mittee will complete its work on Friday,
and the Message of the Governor may be de-
liyered on Saturday. As to the business Of
the Session we are aware Of nothing in pros
pect to produce any strong excitement, or to
cause any unusual consumption Of time.
There are TO be some Bank applications,
viz. to extend the charter of the White
River Bank: for Bank at West Concord
n extend the charter of the bank Of Black
River, or 10 charter a new Bank at Proctors-
vile. for a new Bank at Rutland, with a
capital Of one hundred thousand dollars +,
for new Bank at Bellows Falls for re-
charter Of the Bank Of Bellows Falls. 4 few
questions about Town lines will toe interest
Iny to the mem bers from the Towns directly
concerned, and through them Will enlist the
feelings of others. The propositions to divide
Bennington county into two counties, with
OF without the addition Of adjoining towns in
Rutland and Windham counties, and 10 annex
Concord to Caledonia county will make
more stir Such questions always occupy
good deal Of the time of Committees, and
are apt to get more complicated with other
subjects than they ought to, before they are
finally disposed Of.
There Is one important duty to be perform
ed by the General Assembly, viz The elcc-
ton of UNITED STATES SENATOR. to serve
for the six years after March next which
VIC hope viii he attended to at a very carly
day Of the session. The reelection of Hon.
JACOB CoLLAAEH, we take it is regarded as 4
foregone conclusion by every man IN the State
who has ever thought Of the subject at all.
His course in the L. 5. Senate has been 50
honorable to himself and to the State which
be has represented, so useful to the Country.
and SO grateful to the people of Vermont,
that, with the exception of a handful OF
votes which may be cast for Democratic
nominee, Just for the name Of the thing, we
60 not look for solitary one for any other

ton, it will exert good influence abroad TO
