gone Democratic. In Chester sens
atorial district the Democrats have
made large gains. The Democrats
expect TO have majority in the
senate and probably in the house Of

enough to justify any positive state
ment.
The election in this State is the
most exciting since 1869, when the
Conservative party was organized.

ballot. The vote is very heavy and
gains in the large Coalition districts.
Malone loses nearly thousand in
his stronghold.
The Democrats expect to have a
majority in the senate, and prob
ably in the house of delegates. The
COalitionists, on the other hand,
claim that they twill control the
house by a small majority and the
senate by one or two. Neither side,
however, has received information
to Justify positive statement.
The Dispatch Democratic claims
glorious victory, with a majority
on joint ballot of ten, which may
possibly be increased to twenty-five.
The aggregate popular majorities
will foot up between 10000 and
10000.

PENNSYLVANIA.
Pittsburg, 6.-rhe day is close
warm and threatening rain. The
election is passing off quietly. No
disturbance is reported and up to
noon a very light vote was pulled.
The returns from Allegheny
county are coming in slowly, but
from those received it is estimated
the Republican majority will be
5000.
Philadelphia, 6.-The weather to-
day is fine and the indications are
that a much larger vote will be
polled in the State than was antici>
pated by party managers. The
contest in the state presents no
other issue than a regular one be-
tween Republican and Democrat
candidates. On the State ticket are
Jerome B. Niles, Republican, and
Robert Taggart, Democrat, for au-
ditor general, and William Sivesys,
Republican, and Joseph Powell,
Democrat, for State treasurer. The
Greenback and Prohibition parties
both have candidates in the field
for these places, but their vote is so
small that it will not be a
factor in the fight. 1t is
agreed between leaders of the Dem>
ocratic and Republican sides tn at
all comparison of figures shall be
made with last years election for
Governor. The combined vote for
Beaver, Republican, and Stewart,
Independent, will be set against
that of Pattison, Democrat. so that
the gains for Democrats to-day Will
mean as against the full Republican
vote. Democrats will have to gain
some 10000 on the full vote in order
to elect their ticket to day. In the
city the interest centers chiefly on
the comptrollarship. 5. Davis
Page, Democrat, has been endorsed
by the Committee of One Hundred
for that Office, while Harper E. JET
freys is running as straight-out.
AS the Committee of One Hundred
is a large factor in municipal poll.
tics here the election of Page is exe
pected.
