The following, says the Times, is the official vote of Pennsylvania, compared with the vote of last year : INN Owe 4.431 5% I'he largest vote ever cast in the was 872800 for Presid>nt in 1880, nd the vote cast for Governor last year was 743.803. The vote this year was 239, G33 less than the vote of three years ago, and certainly 275,000 less than the legal vote of the state. There manifest sluggishness on both sides, and even the Democratic victory in Ohio that should have inspired the Democrats and aroused the Republicans, did not make the party voters respond to the call of their lead- was ers, Une notable feature of the returns this year is the diminished Greenback vote, It rose to over 90.000 in 1879 for Chief Justice Agnew, and held up to 23 454 last year for Governor, but now it is down to 4.452, while the prohibition vote is the Lsrgest cast since 1875, although it foots up only 6,687. Next year Pennsylvania will poll over 900,000 votes, and possibly as much as 050,000, and the vote of this year is no criterion by which to judge of the ver dict of the State in 2 national contest that will poll close to a million votes. The difference between the two parties on a fair test is not two per cent. of the vote, and that is easily changed in this progressive age of independent newspa- pers and universal intelligence, The Democrats can easily blunder and make Pennsylvania iron-clad on the Republi can side, but the Republicans can easily blunder and make the State vote for a Demolratic candidate for President. yo The Pittsburg Post is the largest and best Democratic daily in the state, and edited with rare ability, It gives all tel- egraphic news and is reliable in market reports.
