Returns Coming i'm Slowly, Esut the
State Remains Republican.
Special to the Globe.
PITTsBURG, Nov 3.-Seldom, If ever,
has there been so little interest manifested
in state as there was to-day. Unusual
apathy prevailed, especially among the
Democrats, and smaller vote was pOlled
than at any previous election. Indeed,
scarcely half the vote was out and no effort
was made by either party to get their voters
to the polls. In many precincts the polls
were unguarded, in others one man kindly
dispensed tickets for Democrats. Republi-
cans and Prohibitionists. The streets to-
night are unusually quiet. The crowds at
the various headquarters and newspaper
offices are very small, and manifest more
interest in the New York and Virginia cleo
tionS than in those Of their own state. The
indications at IL o'clock are that Quay, the
will have an 5000 majority in Allegheny
county, and that the entire Republican
county ticket has been elected.
A QUIET DAY.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 3.-The election
weather was clear and cold. The only
treasurer. Mathew Stanley Quay was the
Republican and Conrad. B. Day the Demo-
cratic candidate. Barr Spangler ran on
the Prohibition ticket and William D. Whit
ney on the Greenback Labor ticket. Last
year Blaine had plurality of
81, 600, and in 1888, when the last
state treasurer was chosen, the Re
publican candidate was elected by a
majority Of 2o,011. Comparisons tonight
will be made with the vote of '93. The in
terest in the Philadelphia county election
centered upon the contest for sheriff, w.
ElWood Rowan being the Republican and
Dallas Sanders the Democratic candidate.
Rowan was opposed by the citizens COM
mittee of 100 (which has been so prominent
in local elections for some years past), On
the ground he was a representative Of
machine" politics. Rowan in 1876 was
defeated for sheriff by Wright, Democrat,
by 1864 votes, although the Hayes electors
on the same day received $4,000 majority.
TITUsvILLE, Pa, Nov. 3.-The weather
was very inclement here to-day and vote
very light Quay (Rep.) for state treasurer
gets majority over Day in this city of 1875,
which is gain of 112 over Blaine. The
county vote is light and few returns will
be in tonight, owing to the stormy weather.
P1TTsBURG, Nov. 3.-The election to-
day was the quietest known here for many
years. No interest seems to be taken in
the event and scarcely half vote was
polled. In many districts the worker was
conspicuously absent and voters were COM
PEELED to take their own ballots from cigar
boxes placed on unguarded stands outside
the polls. Tonight there is very little eX-
element on the street. The returns up to
10 o'clock indicate about 5000 majority in
Allegheny county for Quay, Republican
candidate for state treasurer.
