80 ELMABErH CRY, June 90, 1860.
To the Editor Of the Standard:
Within the last few days reports have reached us
fros the West representing that Pool is sweeping
that entire section, and that his majority in August
will be overwhelming. 1t is reported that bets are
offered upon five and ten thousand majority for him
in the State, and that Democrats refuse to take
them. We of the East cannot believe these things,
for the reason that we learn that in the West re-
ports are circulated of immense gains for him in this
section, which We know to be false
speak sincerely, and seriously, when tell you
that in this the LIST district believe that Mr.. Pools
vote will not reach by hundreds that cast for Smith
in August last and in this, his own county, his
iority will be reduced l know of maryland among
them prominent intelligent and influential gentle
men, Of the Opposition who refuse to sustain him,
while those from our side who will vote for him are
very few. write this only for the purpose Of un-
deceivng those who may heard the statements of
these large gains down here. Rest assured, there
is not a word of truth in them. Let the people of
the West know that the Democrats of the East are
true to their standard, and that the wretched hum
bug, ad calorem, will not be swallowed by them
What know you of the Westg
