COL. PIoLLET.
His Vote in this District.

The vote on Congress in this Dis
trict, when compared with that of the Con-
cressional election 10 1865. affords much oc.
casion for encouragement to the Democrs-
ey. Then, Mercur's majority against
Judge Elwell, one of the best and strongest
men 10 the district, was 1887 Now.
with unlimited government patronage, and
cart.Ioads of documents and Congressional
perquisitcs at his control, he is re elected
by the meagre majority of only 3ll- out
Of an aggregate vote, in the district of more
than $4,000 votes being an increase on
the voGe.of 1866 of 2.542. The gain on
this increased vote is divided between the
parties as follows democratic gain 1859
Radical gain 7S3.
This gain is quite evenly distributed IN all
the counties of the district and in all parts
Of each, showing that it is solid and sub
stantiai one, and not depending on acciden.
TAI or extraordinary circumstances.
Mr.. Mercur and bis friends in all their
spe eches, falsely Charged upon Col. Piollet
eoloniRstion Of voters TO secure :his election.
This alsehood-which 10 shown to be such.
by the ,cte,-wss doubtless believed by
many, and gained them many votes which
would o.hSrSise have been cast for Col.
Piollet.
This 'colonlsation,' this fraud upon the
people" it was alleged, was to be perpetra-
ted along The Canal and Railroad under tie
supervision of Col Piollet.
We assert, and without fear of successful
contradiction, that NOT single extra man
Sas brought into the district for the purpose
otefeetirg the result, by Col. Piollet or his
friends. Indeed so far as Wyoming Coun
yis concerned there was not the I>ual

improvement. The people along the line

certainly,to have triurphantly elected Col.
Piollet,its superintendent, bad he chosen to
employ them: He choose rather to rely up
on the vote Of the permanent residents
Of the districts, the men, whom, if elected
he would have really and truly represent
cd.
The result, though adverse, is not only
encouraging to the Democracy of the dis
trict, and shows that if they persevere, the
overthrow of radicalism aud Mercur- ism,
among US, is only question Of time, and
will certainly be accomplished but it is
alsohighly falterlng to our standard bearer.

To TnE DEMocRAcr OF PENHsYLvAkIA
You have fought good fight.
You have polled larger vote than ever
before have reduced the Radical malori-
ty of 1866 BY nearly one- half, and have
proven the immortality Of your pr.uc pies
aud the vitality of your organization.
RadicaIiSm has carried the State by
m"ans OF the gr"sSest outrages; by open
y and corruptly buying thousand, of vo-
'ris by driving from the polls foreign
born citizens Regularly naturalizc, many
Years since; by rejecting the votes OF
thousands who were legally made citizeno
IN the Court of Nisi Prius; by violating
aud tramping upon the seal of that Court
"A recognized symbol of the law by de-
'erring legal voters from approaching the
polls through threatened pcualties for i'm
ginsrS offences aud by the despolic anu
unscrupulous use of power by eleclion
officers in Radical Districts.
Under the spucious charge of fraud upon
our part, Radicalism has perpetrated the
vilest frauds Thousands of voters have
been cOioulz.d panpers assessed and vo-
ted, r-penters hired and voted five times
in Radical precincts, returns OF elections
altered and manipulated to suit their own
purposes, and fraudulent naturalization
papers issued by the ream.
In the Contest just closed you have
learned their capacity for violence aud
wrong, you have tested the strength Of
their organization and discovered the weak
points in your OWN.
With the experience thus gained in the
school OF adver:ity, 1--WE will go forward 20
victory.
The enemy are yet to be taught that
outrage and fraud, violence and wrong
csnnot be perpetrated with impunity they
have yet to learn that you are neither dis
mayed nor Aemoralizrd, and that in the
pursuit Of the right You know no such
word as fail.
Arouse the people once more for the
conflict. Bring to the polls every Demo-
| cratic vote. For right AMI justice give
back right and justice. For outrage and
wrong return the full measure of swift
Ietribution.
The work to be done is no holiday
sport 1t is the last battle for the saliva
tion of the Republic, the preservation Of
the Constitution and the supremacy o.
your race
Work and fight ss men engaged in
such cause should work and fight.
BY order o. the Democratic State Com
mittee.
