The piece recalls a joint debate between Gov Randall and Harrison C Hobart at Metropolitan Mall.

The State ended the year with a $49045 surplus and no floating debt, vindicating Randall and opposing the Barstow dynasty. It urges voters to back Stephen A Douglas and J B Arnold.

Giving Up the Election From the New York Herald
The New York Herald argues Foster’s defeat for Pennsylvania governor seals defeat for the Democratic slate and shifts focus to New York as a Republican Lincoln victory hinge. It asserts Curtin’s small majority signals broader Republican strength and that Bell and Douglas factions failed to unite. Lincoln is portrayed as gaining cross‑section support across Pennsylvania and the North ahead of March.
