THE LEGISLATURE
The House of Representatives (says the U. ).
Gazette) consists of 100 members, of whom last
year the Wings had 33, the Locos g.
As far heard from the Wings have elected
thirty-six members, gaining fourteen members
and the Locos have elected twenty, with no gain.
There were eleven Senators to be elected, eight
of whom are Locofocos and three Wings. The
Wings are all reelected, Gf we count Mr.. Harris,
in Centre dstrct,) and in the eight Locofoco dis
ricts the Wings have elected four. This would
leave the Senate eighteen Wings one Native, and
fourteen Locos for the coming year.
THE CANAL COMMISSIONER
is elected on the general ticket system, by the vo-
tiers throughout the State From the compile xion
of the returns received it is conceded that JAMES
M. Power, the Wing candidate, is elected over
WILLIAM B. FOSTER, the present incumbent.
The Pennsylvania avows its amazement at the
reverses of its party, and says there is no merit
in denying defeat so overwhelming; but it ac-
counts for the defeat in manner as true as it is
naiue. 1t explains the Wing victory by presuming
that the Democrats have voted the Wing tickets
How else, indeed, did the Wings expect to succeed
ed us yesterday from the interior of Pennsylvania
as evincng the spirit which animated the people
on this first occasion of expressing their sentiments
since the passage of the new Tariff:
FArErrE CouNrY.-A letter the Editors dated at

county (Fayette) all in except four small townships At
the last Congressional election the majority against
434 the majority favor will be nearly 300. The
whole Wing ticket will be elected in this county thing
under the So much for the repeal Of the tariff of 1912
But for the bad weather the majority would have been much
larger
ALLEeHASr CouSTr-The Pittsburg Gazette of Wednes

Anmasonc and Wing Ticket has succeeded in this county
by triumphant majority, ranging from 900 1000.

tariff question that summoned the people the effort and
buve justice has been melted out to the authors of the fraud
of 1914. The Locofoco candidate SAMUEL LErpER he
prossed also be protective tariff man. but the people
determined TO trust Locooco that question they would
confde in but Whig whom they knew would
go for repeal of the British tariff of 1916, and for
ton of the tariff Of 1912, and hundreds of the Democrats

Polk and the Southern wing of the Democracy may read
auary lesson in this result We have also elected from this
county Montgomery two members the State Legislature
and Senator. The election candidate for the Sc
nate, GEORGE RcHARps, ESQ., his opponent, JoHN b.

In view of the results in several Of the I.ocofoco
strongholds the United States Gazette makes the
following comments:
cit is worthy Of remark that old Beks which was wont
give 900 majority for the Locooco ticket has reduced her
majority about 1000. Bucks county and Schuyki county
which has usually given standing Locooco majority Of
000 sometimes MORE gives less than majority for her
Iocooco Congressman, and than 500 majority for
Wing Senator The change in old Northampton also
markabe and altogether the denote breaking
up of the old Loco party"
