The Pennsylvania Election.


The PHILOSOPHY of the Pennsylvania
election is set forth with admirable clear.
ness by the philadelphia Ayr Its calm
and good.'empercd review Of the situation,
notwithstanding the exciting circumsnn.
ces of the hour, gives to its statements all
the value Of syllogisms, The Radical
plan Of battle. now thai the smoke Of the
contest has cleared away, is seen to have
been very simple. The GRANTEES not on.
" furnished unlimited money, but they
used every conceivable means to connect
the fortunes Of Ilartrauft with those of the
President. Thus, General Grant himself
descended to the unprecedented disgrace
Of publicly endorsing the administrations
candidate for Governor. Thus, private
citizens of good rebute were prevailed up.

sylvauia, and chiefly laments that the sue.
cess of the Ring candidates has again
delivered the city Of Philadelphia into the
power Of the most Inscriptions aud cor.
rupt clique ever known. That the oppos.
ition to the administration there as else.
where still strong and united, is confirmed
by the voice Of such bipartisan journals as
the New York Hruld. As it says, the
people do not uphold, but are dissatisfied
with the Republican policy. 1t is but a
temporary and apparent triumph Of whole.
sale corruption and reckless desperation.

creelsv,s chance Of Carrying Ohio

Gresley's Chance Of Carrying Ohio
Is there any one who does not believe
that Horace Greeley. a Republican, will
receive from the Republican party ten
more votes in every township in Ohio
than the Democrat, General Wiley, did
for Secretary Of State from that party
Is it not reasonable to supposed As there
are two thousand townships this would
make charge Of twenty thousand, which,
taken from W1ckof, the Republican Sec.
rotary Of State, and added on to Greeley,
would give US an advantage Of 10000
over the election. We may rely upon it
that the Republican vote for Greeley in
in November is going to be
far heavier than it was for General Wiley IN
Oct. We hear on every hand of men who
voted for the Republican State ticket DOW
announcing that they will vote for Greeley
But, says an objcctor, We don't doubt
that Greeley will gain largely on W lley
from the Republicans, but won't he lose
from the Democratic side of tho house,
We don't believe he will. There is among
the rank and Gle of the Democracy the
strongest fear that our Governmct will be
DESTROYED if Grant is reelected and the
present reign Of tyranny and corruption is
continued for four years more. In add''
ton, there is an aversion and dislike to
Grant personally among the Democrats
which excelIs their hostility to almost any
other man in tho country. Morton, Simon
Cameron and Butler are not more gener-
ally hated and despised. No Democrat
is going to vote for Grant Democrats
arc loyal to their organization, and, as it
has pronounced for Mr. Greeley, and as
be is Grants only competitor. they
will support him with unanimity The
Presidential vote will bring thousandsof
Democrats out who have not been out
since 1868. So We can reasonably expect,
in addition to the increased Republican
vote for Mr.. Greeley. much larger Dem
ocratic vote than was thrown in October
# there are any Democrats so foolish as to
refuse to support Mr.. Greeley, they abb
scented themselves in October in order to
do him an injury. We can count as
firm and reliable all of Genera Wilcy's
vote, and even that will be enough. with
the Republican re endorsements we are
bound to receive, to give US the State. =
