The Very Latest!

By the Wheeling papers received last
night we learn that the Republicans have a
majority of three in the Pennsylvania Sen
ate, and majority of two in the House of
Representatives, thus securing the election
of u s. Senator.
As the Pennsylvania election and her
probable future has been for some time The
exclusive topic, almost, among the people,
we have thought proper, as a matter of in
terest to our readers, TO look into her past
history, and see what was the course of her
State and National elections. IN 1886 the
Democrats carried Pennsylvania in October
BY over 1000, but in November Van Buren,
had only majority 4,364. In 1910, in Oc-
tober, the Democrats carried it by 4,649, but
in November Harrison carried it BY 349.-
In ls4s, in October, the State went for the
Democrats by 1855, but in November Gen.
Taylor carried it 1854
