PENNSYLVANIA AND NEW
YORK.

The Harrisburg (Pa.) Chronicle
says:
Argus, seems to forget the important
fact that last fall Judge Pershing beat
Hartranft in this State $4,000 votes, on
square Greenback issue. That IS, Per-
shing beat Hartranft outside of Phila-
delphia, $4,000 votes. and with all the
unholy manipulations of the vote in
| Philadelphia, by the ballot suffers Of tina
city, Hartranft is minority Governor
to-day. What we wish to impress upon
the New Haven Union, and all other
papers in the interest OF the Cooper
movement, is this: That in Pennsyl-
vania the dreenback men are stronger

wealth The working classes are thour
oughly aroused and November next will
show that the good people Of Pennsyl-
vania are determined to give to the bull

laboring classes OF the State are fully

themselves and their country from the
ruin and distress that would be entailed
upon the Nation by the election Of either
Tilden or Hayes, and these men will
prevent such catastrophe. so far as
Pennsylvania is concerned. Let other
