theelection free and the Democratic party
elected its candidates. In a fair election
it can always win and we have guaran-
tees Of such an election this time as
would suffice to give it to us even should
we be compelled to fight the frauds and
devices that have SO often overthrown
us. OF these We have no apprehension.
This election will be decided on its mer.

strength enough to carry his native state
he has not the strength that will elect
him. As goes Pennsylvania so will 60

PENNSYLVANIA.

We do not know why Democrats
should Ike timid in claiming Pennsylva-
nia for Hancock, and yet they are. They
will speak confidently of Indiana and
with great expectation of New York,
but when they come to Pennsylvania,
which we consider quite rs certain for
Hancock us either New York or Indiana,
our friends seem to turn from it with
fear. The New York San has been
questioned by one of these trembling
souls, and seems itself to think that there
is enough in its correspondents appre-
hcnSiOn to warrant it in giving an
elaborate statement Of the ground of its
hOpc-hardly its faith-that Pennsylvania
will vote for Hancock.
We beg to say to these doubling
Thomascs that VIC have no sympathy in
their tribulatiOn nor share in their ap-
prehension. Pennsylvania will vote for
Hancock rs surely rs election day comes
around. Why should she not? Is she
not Democratic state and is not Han
cock her citizen? Has she ever shown
any disposition to turn the cold shoulder
to a presidential candidate from her soil ?
Pennsylvania is a.more Democratic state
than New York, which is only carried by
the Democracy, when it is carried, by the
city vote; and the New York city De-
mocracy have not up to this time been
rs unanimous as they should Ike. There
has been much hesitation OH the state
committees side in proffering Tammany
Hall the embrace of brotherhood, al
though there is promise to-day that this
will be amended. In Philadelphia there
is hearty Democratic union under a
strong leadership. Philadelphia cannot
drown the vote of the state. There will
be no opportunity for the frauds which
alone have kept Pennsylvania from
the Democracy in the past. Nor is
there the strong motive which has
heretofore existed to induce the
men who have manipulated these frauds
to attempt their execution in this elec-
tion. Their lukewarmness three years

covered sufficiently to get homo and report

and was to have been sentenced to the

fifty men rode into town, overpowered the
guard and quietly removed Ellis, who was
hanged not far from town.

TIN CAN Stills.
he Small isOy's Latest Invention.

1Ho ohlssl hoy , AStcSC AhScHtiOHs
The small boy is cnlarging the sphere of
his discoveries. He has found a new use
for discarded fruit cans. Hitherto his
operations were limited to tying them to
dogs tails, making singing machines of
them, and feeding them to billy-go !;
but now he makes stills of them. He takes
pair of old tin pans, punches holes
through the bottom of them and passes 4
cord or strap through the holes forming q
stirrup Of sufficient length to enable him
to hold it in his hand while standing erect.
He then mounts tho empty cans, pulls the
stirrups taut, and walks off to his infinite
delight and to the amazcment of his ma.
The music made by an active boy in trot-
ting off on a pair of these tin-can stilts can
neither be imagined nor described, but it
can easily be heard square or more away.
Smart boys have = project on foot to i'm
prove the stills by building them two or
threo stories high.

The East Basin.

A further examination of the south wall
of the cast reservoir seems to prove that
it's condition is generally good, but that
there is one bad place in it which will
require repairs involving cost estimated
at $3.50. the brick facing of this portion
of the wall will be taken down for about
ten feet from the top, the bank will be
puddled, and the wall relaid in cement.
The height of water in the east basin
this morning was II feet 2 inches, and of
the west basin 18 feet inches.

"A Denial,

few days ago, to answer for disorlerly con-
duct and surety of tho peace, takes cxcep-

and that he has not neglected her nor had
any immoral dealings with Miss Irwin.

DeInenhed,

A man named Philip Marks, residing on
the Fruirville pike north of this city, was
arrested this morning and committed to
the county prison for 30 days for disorder

dispossess them.
