THE RESULT.

As the smoke of the conflict of Tuesday
last slowly lifts itself from the fields of In
diana and Ohio, the fact is surely developed
that the Democracy of both these State have
been defeated by the importation of thous-
ands of negroes, the reckless expenditure of
the peoples money, the insidious work Of
every Radical officials, and gangs of reporters
from other sections Can any other result be
expected?
1t is almost impossible to defeat the Radi-
Gals whose grip upon the National treasury
is that ofdeath. Money has become power
far beyond that of principle, but with cause
that is just and an implicit reliance upon
the good judgment and patriotism of the
masses we do not recognize the present a
Waterloo defeat The Democracy have
bright hope in New York, New Jersey, Col
orado, California, Pennsylvania and Connec-
ticut. With these and a solid Southern del
egation to the electoral college Hancock's
election is assured and several votes to spare.
Aside from this, Indiana is not hopelessly
lost to us, for, while local animosities may
have existed in her State canvass the Democ-
racy will be a unit on National issues and
retrieve the ground lost on Tuesday last.
We do not propose to despair at the result
of Tuesdays skirmish on the picket line,
but will await the issue of November I'd, and
then if we must go down it will be with our
colors nailed to the mast of the good old
ship Democracy.

TIE ISESQUICEN7ENNLAL.

Baltimore's Sesqui-C Centennial has been a
brilliant success and reflects great credit
upon the originators Of the movement and
the enterprise which her citizens have
brought to bear in its development 1t may
be truly said to be an exhibition hitherto
unparalleled in any idividual municipality
upon the continent and will undoubtedly
be the initiatory step to series of similar
celebrations, but none will be clothed with
more interesting historical incidents or in
augurated with such thrilling scenes and
imposing ceremonies.
Although the youngest of all the seaports
on the Atlantic coast Baltimore stands in
the front rank of the American cities and
this celebration is in honor of her growth
of material prosperity and the magnitude
and fourishing condition Of her commercial,
manufacturing and industrial pursuits Laid
out early in January, 1850, she has continued
to develop until Baltimore includes a popu-
lation of 400, 900 and its commerce aggregates
over $S0,000,000 per annum, whilst her pub
lie buildings including the City Hall, the
Peabody Institute and others will compare
favorably with any in the United States.
The city's transportation facilit les are unsur-
passed. Its line of foreign steamships, its
two great railroads. the Baltimore and Ohio
and the Pennsylvania, and the shorter lines
of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Halti-
more, the Northern Central and the Western
Maryland, are daily pouring into her inn
mense warehouses stores Of grain, coal, iron,
&c, and take away immense quantities of
merchandise for all parts OF the country
Her charitable and educational institutions
are large in numbers and are living monu-
ments of the noble hearted philanthropy
Of her people.
The demonstrations have been grand In
their proportions, chaste and unique In theii
arrangements, and have elected the admira,
ton OF the countless thousands who have
daily lined the gaily and tasteiully decorated
thoroughfares OF this prosperous and growing
municipality. II is thought that at least one
hundred and fifty thousand visitors witnessed
the Inauguration ceremonies Of Monday last
and IL Is said there has been no abatement
In the crowd which is continuously omptied
within her limits, whilst the hospitality OF
her citizens Is one of the striking features Of
the occasion. The parade of Monday was
chiefly attractive because OF the fact that tho
procession was composed Of representative:
Of every branch OF trade throughout the
city, as we'll as Cor the various associations
and societies. splendid arches span the
streets, whilst the city is brilliantly illumi'
mated oyery night
We regret that imperative duties have
prevented US from pariaking Of the hospi.
indulge the hope that we will DO able d
show our appreciation before the close of
the exhibition.

COMING DEMOCRATYC PICNIC.

BY reference to another column it will be
seen that the Democratic Executive Commit
tee of the county have designated Saturday,
the 23rd instant, for holding grand Demo-
cratic rally. 1t is the desire of the commit
tee to have pleasant and agreeable day,
and the friends of the cause throughout the
county are earnestly invited to be present
and add to the enthusiasm Of the day and
cause. 1t is proposed to make il a kind of
family gathering or picnic. Speaking will
commence early in the morning and con-
tinue all day. Our friends from the rural dis
tricts will by that time have finished seed
ing thar wheat and can well afford to give
one day TO the cause of the countrys good.
II would be good idea if the various Ham
cock and English clubs throughout the
county would unite upon this occasion. 1t
would afford them an opportunity Of an in
ierchange of views and thus more effec.
lively prepare them for the better perform
ance of the heavy work OF the closing days
Of the campaign. The absence of large
numbers upon this occasion would manifest
indifference, which should not be the case in
period of such magnitude and importance
for the friends Of free government
Whilst we do not indicate the Importance
OF our presidential ticket, we cannot urge
TO strongly upon the voters of Montgomery
the importance OF the election OF our Con-
gresham. The President will be powerless
10 correct abuses or introduce reform if the
popular branch Of Congress is opposed 10
him. The vote Of the Sixth District may
bring about this unfortunate result Let our
people then turn out, get up the enthusiasm
arouse the Democracy and redeem the dis.
trict. They can do il II they will. A large
meeting on the twcnty-third may be the
initiative To this step. for IL the Democracy in
Montgomery Is stimulated they can give
seven hundred majority. So come one
coma all, 10 the grand Democratic rally Of
the twcnty-third

AN0THER RAILROAD HORROR.
OF ALLEGANy COUNTY.

ANOTHER RAILROAD HORROR.
On Saturday night last frightful acct
dent occurred on the Pennsylvania Central
Railroad. There had been monster Demo
cratic mass meeting at Pittsburgh and after
the parade and speeches the large delega-
ton from Westmoreland and adjoining
counties East, started for home on the
Wallis Accommodation. The train WAS d.
yided into two sections. The back platform
of the first section was deEssly crowded,
thereby hiding the signal light from the visv
of the second section. The Erst section
stopped st the station ;. Twsnty eighth

Pennsylvania hospital, where everything
possible is being done to relieve their suf-
ferings While the work Of amputation,
ETC., was going on, hundreds of friends
were outside Of the hospital endeavoring to
gain admission, but were kept back by a
strong force of police. AT the time of the
occurrence many who had not been injured
became panic stricken, and rushed about
heplessly wringing their hands, crying and
shrieking, and thus adding to the confusion.
Among the dead and dying are men, women
and children. Both trains were filled with
passengers, especially the Walls, which con-
tanned several marching clubs which partici-
pated in the Democratic demonstration
The place of the accident is where the riots
occurred.
The railroad officials claim that their rules
are perfect and that if their requirements
had been obeyed the accident would not
have happened. No direct charges have
been made against any one, but the suppo-
sition of outsiders is that the brakeman of
the rear car of the first section neglected his
duty by not tagging the coming train.
The obstruction or violation of rules
spoken of has reference to the crowd stand
ing on the rear platform of the first section
thus obscuring the signal light from the
view of the engineer Of the second section.
The signal lights usually employed by rail-
roads for danger is red lantern, and we
have failed ever to see one brilliant red
always dirty with a miserable weak light
given out by tallow candle or dirty coal.

How Shall the Young Men Vote'

Thousands Of the young men o! the coun-
try will take the VOWS of their political bap
tism at the November polls, and for the first time
in their lives perform a rite, which, abused and
desecrated as it is, still represents The highest
prerogative of the citizen, and cannot be
robbed of its soemnity.
Now, as heretofore, many sons will follow
in the footsteps OF their fathers, from tore, o;
flial association if for no other reason, but
this is no longer a matter of course, nor in
the nature of precedent. The spirit of in
dependent thought is more widely abroad to-
day, and the rising manhood OF the country
give TO public affairs an earlier attention,
than ever before.
With the wonderful dissemination OF kuowl-
edge that has been brought about by the
newspaper and the telegraph, the closer rela-
tions that subsist between all parts OF the
country, and its Capital, the prominence that
is now given to leaders of parties and their
opinions, the daily intercourse that is held
between legislator and constituent-with all
these things has come TO Young as well as
old a familiarity with current events that
was unknown to past generations.
There is no good reason, therefore, why
the young man of ordinary intelligence, with
all the lights he has before him, may not he
fully capable of Judging for himself what
political direction to take, at the same time
1t is of the utmost Importance, AS he passes
the Threshold of his majority, tina, he look
well to the consequences of his action.
Particularly at such u time as this, when
so much depends upon the result of The pend
ing struggle, should he weigh well step that
may cost his country dearly and that he may
have cause to regret for long years 10 come.
lie is confronted on the one hand by party
which has been in power two decades, rather
by reason of circumstances than by the weight
of popular sentiment in its favor. He has
plainly in sight the record of that party, of
its public men, Of its candidates who ask his
support. lie cannot blind himself to the dis
grace that has grown upon il like mon
strous excrescence, nor without doing vio-
lence TO his better judgment, can he divest
himself of II foreboding of evil At the pros
pect OF its retention in control OF the Gov
eminent, nor repress sense OF his own re-
sponsibility, at the thought OF aiding in such
a calamity.
Upon the other hand is an organization
fresh from the people, with candidates invsl-
nerabe TO assault, with principles that were
woven into the fabric OF the Government at
its beginning with no stain of corruption on
its garments, no long career Of official turpi-
tude behiad il, no patronage wherewilh TO
subvert the will of the people.
Can the young man hesitate where 10 cast
his maiden vote, as between Garfield, him
self branded with dishonor, the representa-
tive OF dishonored party, and Hancock,
pure and above reproach, the representative
of party whose hands are clean and whose
