The Hon. Galusha A. Grow. cX-Spcakcr Of the
National House of Representatives, was in town
yesterday. TRIBUNE representative meeting him
ut his hotel asked him what the significance OF
the Republican defeat in Pennsylvania. Mr. Grow
said he did not think il worth while TO discuss the
causes of the defeat TO talk oi the Influence eXer
ted by the Labor Movement, the Prohibition
party the course Of the Administration, orthe an
tagonislns between the Cameron ana antl-CGmcIon
wings Of the Republican party. The result does
not indicate permanent change ia the relative
strength of the two great parties in the state Itls
only a phenomenon Of the oft-year, produced by
peculiar combination of circumstances largely unta-
vorable to the RcpublicanS-a combination not
likely to occur again. There are no indications that
any Republicans voted the Democratic ticket. Some
struggled of into the side paths, and more stated at
home PENNSYLVANIA is as much a Republican state
rs ever and the defeat of this year Will bo retrieved
next. as that of 1874 was in 1870. MI. Grow
thinks the defeat Of last Tuesday will act ass whole
some stimulus upon the Republican party, stirring
them up 20 united action. Next Fan when the Gu
bcrnqtoral election come, off the party Will be in

nations the differences of the present year
