POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS & ELECTIONS - State (Cont'd)<br />
2249 - L Oct. 16; ed: 2/2,:3 - "We have given all the returns we have from<br />
Pennsylvania. The returns, it will be noticed, are almost universally<br />
given in gross numbers, and wi 11 undoubtedly be subjected to many variations<br />
by the official report. The telegraph has already commenced the<br />
work of correcting gross errors. From the present state of the vote,<br />
as well as from the character of the counties to be heard from, we are<br />
quite confident the Union ticket has carried the State." (I8)<br />

2253 - L Oct. 18; ed:2/2 - Our oplIl1on is thal we shall not have the<br />
true result until we have the official count, which we believe is made<br />
today. If we are defeated in Pennsylvania now, it is barely a defeat.<br />
The majority against us is only normal. That our friends will bear<br />
their banner in glorious triumph through the smoke and fire of the November<br />
conflict we have not a doubt. (13)<br />
2254 - L Oct. 18; ed: 2/2 - "The result in Indianet is a Buchanan governor<br />
by a majority in the neighborhood of 5,000, and a Buchanan House. The<br />
Republirans have carried the Senate and a majority of the Congressional<br />
delegation." (1)<br />
2255 - L Oct. IS; ed: 2/2 - A summary is given of the incomplete returns<br />
in the several states and a prediction made of a Republican majority<br />
based on previous elections aud the incomplete returns of this one. A<br />
concise but detai led analysis is made of the Pennsylvania record for<br />
several elections, and the work of the Republican party in getting out<br />
the vote is extolled highly.<br />
"And that our friends wi 11 bear their banner in glorious triumph<br />
through the smoke and fire of the November confl ict, we have no doubt.<br />
