HARRISBURG, Jan. Ia, 1901.
The Election of .Se~afu- The Reading Railroad.
l send you the result of the election for United
States Senator held this morning. Ii was all
achieved through the influence of Simon Cameron,
and the triumph is really of his own making.
Mr.. Brodhead and Mr.. Cameron are true personal
friends, and we cannot doubt that the success of
the former is owing entirely to the active intepo-
sition of the latter.
The election Of Mr. Brodhead is a death-blow
TO the Buchanan wing Of the party, and has placed
them far below the political zero, that all the
adulation which may henceforth be piled upon the
!" favCnte son. will only prove a wet blanket to
his hopes and prospects
The caucus was managed, we may say, exclu-
siyey by the friends of Mr.. Cameron. They bad
their own way in everything.
The present indications around the capitol de-
note some consids rabe danger TO the Reading
Railroad Company, which was, at the last session,
invested with series OF pickpoeket privileges,
now palpabie 10 the eyes OF the whole community.
The effect OF the bill OF last session was practical
reIudiaton OF their enormous debts for twenty
vars. Now the comfsny have been enabled, by
real and substantial prosperity, to declare divi,
depd If elk per cent, and will probably do until
the txpir alton Of the twenty years, when the Lee
Qisaure will be beleaguered again by these same
