Get out the vote.

1t is not likely that there will be as
full vote polled this year in Pennsyl-
vania as there was last fall. There is
neither the incentive nor the disposi-
ton to the same political excitement as
there was then. Each party has in the
meantime had its natural increase Of
voters, and the struggle tetween them
this year will be to poll the largest pos
sible proportion of their respective
votes. From the results Of such eXer-
tion the Democrats have nothing to
fear. The total vote which they mus
tered last year was in the aggregate
substantially as many as the combined
vote of the two Republican candidates
aud the running majorites of The oppo-
sition in this state for the past ten
years have not heen more than about
twenty thousand, which is really only
one in Sorty, and to reverse it scarcely
needs the change of an average Of two
persons in each election district in the
state. Every person familiar with pol
itics knows that there are always more
than that whose votes are uncertain.
Now there is no reason this year to ap-
prehend any Democratic detection
there is no valid reason to expect per-
feet Republican union all the signs
point to greater apathy in the opposi-
tion ranks than in the Democracy III
fact, many of the majority Democratic
counties report unusual activity and
interest, and the accession of people
who belIeYe that eight months of Dem
Ocratic administration have vindicated
the wisdom of a change and are resolv-
ed to extend it to other departments of
state government. The duty of this
year is to get out the vote that was
polled for an elected state ticket last
year.

RERDELL CORROBORATED
1.-THE Defendants Have No HOmest
Means Of Escape.0

From the New York Herald. March 2.
The star route prosecution yesterday called to
the stand several important new witnesses to
corroborate the remarkable testimony given by
Rerdell. Rerdell, 1t will be remembered was
ex-senator Dorseys clerk, and had charge of all
his books, correspondence and papers relating
to the star route business. As most of these doc
uments are now in possession of the defendants
who for ObviOns reasons have refused to compiv
with the demand of the prosecution for their pro-
duction in court, Rerdell was permitted to prove
their contents: Among other things he testified
to entries OF money to the account of the two
Dorseys, Brady and other jobbers, Bradys &C
count being kept for prudential reasons under
the name OF civilian Smith"
In the spring Of 1880 Rerdell was summoned
to produce these books before Congressional
COMMITTEES and informed Brady of that fact.
Brady. after enchanting, in surprise, that dor
sey is q ID fool for keeping any books"
suggested that copy be made with ali the tell
tale entries omitted. This was hastily done by
acopyist under direction Of Rerdell. who indi-
Gated the parts to be left out and the manner ia
which the work was to be done.
The man who did the copying. Jas. W. Donel-
~. government clerk, was yesterday produced
% 2 witness by the government. He corrob-
made, &c. He had previously been employed
by Rerdell ito balance and straighten out the
books" and In fact, had kept them from the
autumn Of 1879 to the spring of 1880 He was.
therefore, familiar with their contents, ana cor,
rob0rated Rerdel a. to the accounts OF Dorsey.
civilian Smith" and others.
Another important witness was Chas. E.
Gibbs, cashier at the Ebbitt house, In Washing
ton. During the winter Of l670-S0 he and his
wife had made copies Of Dorseyis books, papers
and letters, and his testimony also corroborates
that Of Rerdel as to the division Of spOils among
the jobbers.
The defense have tried By desperate crosu-
examination to impeach Rerdell as . witness.
Their attempts to prove him . periuner and
knave haye resulted In unearthing new evidence
Of rascaiity on the part Of their clients. Whose
creature and tool he WA, but have siQneIly
failed to break the force OF his evidence ii his
testimony stood alone It would BE- the most
damaging to the oonspirato1 yet produced on
the trial. He knew all the star route secrets.
and he has told them. But his testimony dos
not stand alone. It harmonixes with al the
charges and proofs Of the prosecution. II Is
sustained BIZ records and documentary evidence:
and now Il b directly cOfroborated b the I'M
portant witnesses who testified ysster6y. Tns

A Good Word for the Saanapipe.

10 Tic Oh ihE ESkNlNG STAh:
You have no idea Of the good effect the
recent arrests made by the police for the waste
of Potomac water has had out In the northwest
section of the city. Previous to these arrests
we had water on an average of from Z a. m. to
10 a. m, and then the pressure was not strong
enough to force the warm water up into the
bathroom. NOr We have good supply Of water
in the ouse from a. m. to p. m, and during
that time we have also warm water I'm the bath
room. For tins beneficial result We are, NO
doubt Indebted to our police force MAY they
prosper i'm their good work. Permit me- In this
connection to say word In behalf of the much
abused standpipe, that stands alone in its glory,
like Roman sentinel, at the head Of 10th street.
Prior to Its erection, many of us living in this
part OF the city paid water tax and received
scarcely any water In return for IL. And 70
those who seem to take delight In trying to be.
little 1t will mention fact for their edfcation
that may tend to set them to thinking: Some
time since no water was to be had In many
houses supposed TO receive their supply
from the standpipe, and to make matters woFuA
no water was to be had ct some Of the street
hydrants. So In order TO ascertain the cause Of
the trouble your correspondent betook himself
over to the pump-house, where the pumpa aro
located that supply the standpipe with water,
and found the pumps stopped! That fact fur.
nished the reason of no water for the time
being. GRATEFUL.
