The NictOrs Claiming the State by from
$4,000 to 20 900 Majority.
PHILADELPHIA, PA, Nov. 6.-Pennsyl-
yania to-day elected Auditor General and
State Treasurer. For these offices there
were four tickets in the field. The candi-
| dates were as follows: AuditOr-Jerome
b. Niles, Republican; Robert Taggart,
Democrat; Theodore p. Rynders, Green
back; John r.. Fordham, Prohibition.
Recommendation A. Livsey, Republi-
can; Joseph Powell, Democrat; A. p.
Marsh, Greenback, Ira E. Howard, Pro-
hibitiOn. The vote of the State for Gov
ern0r last tall was: Beaver, Republican.
3l5,5S9; Stewart, Independent Republi-
can, 43. 143; PattisOn, Democrat, 355, 791 :
Armstrong. Greenback and Labor Reform,
%, ,4S4; Pettitt, Prohibition, 5,196
The weather to-day is fine, and the in
dlcations are that much larger vote will
be pOlled in the State than was antici-
! pated by the party managers The con-
| test in the State presents no issue other
than the regular one between Republi-
canism and Democracy. The Greenback
and Prohibition parties both have candi-
| dates in the field for these places, but their
vote is so small and their organization so
! disrupted that they will not be a factor
! in the fight. 1t is agreed be-
! tween the leaders on the Democratic
! and Republican sides that all comparisons
| of figures shall be made with last years
4 election for Governor. The combined
! vote of Beaver, Republican, and Stewart,
Independent Republican, will be set
/ against that of Patterson, Democrat, so
! that the gains for the Democrats to-day
will mean gains as against the full Re-
! publican vote. The Democrats will have
to gain some 1000 on a full vote in order
to elect their ticket to-day.
In this city interest centres chiefly on
the Comptrollership. S. Davis Page, Dem
ocrat, is indorsed by committee of 100
! tor that office, while Harper E. Jetfreys,
| the Republican, is running as a straight
out. AS the committee of 100 is a large
faction in municipal politics here, the
| election of Page by a small majority is
conceded. The election Is passing off
| quietly, and only one slight row is re-
! corded at police headquarters.
! PITTsBURG, Nov. 6.-The day is cloudy
! and warm and rain is threatened. Up to
! noon very light vote was pOlled. The
/ Republicans are cutting Niles, the candi-
/ date for Auditor General, while the DEM
4 ocrats generally are voting the straight
| ticket.
! PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 6, p. M.-The
| vote throughout the State has been very
Z lISuls anu lutIC HAS DGeH buG tlIJle
! scratching. The losses and gains are very
| irregular and are pretty evenly balanced.
/ PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 6, u P. NAT
| 1880 O'Clock p. m. only a counties out of
g. in the State have been heard from, and
/ these show net Republican gain of 4,614.
1 This does not include the county of
/ Philadelphia, the returns from which are
! coming in very slowly.
In the city Of Philadelphia the result of

! committee of one hundred, which has
/ strongly pushed Page, the Democratic
candidate TOR Comptroller, at IL 80 O'Clock
conceded the election of Jeffries, Rep, by
/ about 800 majority. Chairman Cooper, Of
| the Republican State Committee, esti-
mates that his party has carried the State
| bv not less than 10000 majority. He says
that the returns come in so slowly that
| the exact result cannot be obtained until
