The Result of Pattison's Election as Viewed
by Business Men and PoIiticians--Differ-
ent Meanings Put Upon 1t by Various
Persons.
The Republicans of Allegheny City were
rather blue yesterday. Most of them went

Some who remained in Pittsburg until the wee
hours of the morning were better posted, but
they were in a very small minority. Midnight
returns had made the greater portion of the
people from across the river glad, and they
went home feeling happy. The morning pa
pers put new phase on the situation. Then
self-satisfaction turned into discomfort, and
there were but few who took with good grace
the question, What do you think of the cleo
tion?'
Naturally enough the Democrats were well
pleased, despite that most of them recognize
the fact that with little hard work and good
management they could easily have carried the
city for Pattison. They all thought that the
defeat of Delamater would intensity the fight
in the county between Quay and Magee, and
that as a consequence they would have an op-
portunity at the next election to secure some
nice plums for their own party.

known Repubilcan. we have not only peen
sections of the countryls astounding. Probably
beyond our loss of this State the thing that
hurts us most is the defeat of Major Mckinley.
Still there is no use being discouraged. The
Republicans of Pennsylvania have been taught

PAYING ELECTION BETS.
Bets we're being freely paid yesterday. but
there were many who refused to ''ante up''
until the official returns were made. One of
the most unique bets was that between Perry
Glein, Democrat. and Joseph Blattner, Repub-
hcan, on the State ticket. 1t had been agreed
that the man who lost should ring bell in
front of the place of business of both the day
after election. Blattner, of course, lost. and
he started in yesterday morning to fulfill the
bet IN front of Glein's place. He at
tracted a crowd, but he kept up the ringing for
about 10 minutes and then gave it up i'll dis

There were but few business men in Allie
gheny who were willing to be quoted as to
what they thought of the result of the elec-
tion. Most of them thought that silence was
the best policy. What some business men and
men who are in politics say, is given below:
Common Councilman Frank Curry, of the
Third ward-I was never more surprised in my
life. went to bed Tuesday night feeling that
Delamater would be the next Governor of
Pennsylvania suppose that the people are
responsible for it. am afraid that the result
will have the effect of widening the breach be-
tween the two factions in Allegheny City. The
fight will continue with more bitterness than
ever and to the manifest advantage of the
Democrats.
]. P Leonard, Federal street grocer-The re-
suit pleases me.
r. H. Boggs, of Bogss & Buhl-The result
has completely surprised me. l was sure of
! Delamater's election when went to bed. what
the effect will be in the county do not know.
GOOD EFFECTS TO FOLLOW.
G. W. Pusey of Pusey & Kerr, wall paper
think that the election of Pattison by a COM
paratively small majority will show party man.
ayers that they must be more careful in the
nomination of candidates. Close elections
have that tendency. The longer a party is in
power the more corrupt 1t will become. 1t
looks to me as if the defeat of Delamater will
have the effect of healing the breach in the
ranks of the party in Allegheny county.
Roland T. White, Clerk of Select Council
1t is too bad, but 1t seems to me that the action
| of Magee will widen the breach in the Republic
| an party in this county. 1t is bound TO be a
more bitter fight than ever. Quay is still a
power in State and National politics.
Postmaster Gilleland was not satisfied with
| the result. and thought that it would take the
official count to decide. He was proud of what
| Allegheny City had done, but did not feel dis
| posed at present to discuss the effects of the
| election.
Mayor Wyman did not care to talk, but he
| remarked that he was satisfied with what Ale
| gheny had done.
| A well-known business man on Federal street
| below Diamond, and one who has always voted
| the Republican ticket, said that Pattison's
election suited him. He considered it a rebuke
| for Quay and his methods. 1t showed that the
| people were tired of the domination of the
| junior Senator, and that they proposed to put
a stop to it. That it would end Quay's power
in the State. The result was pointer for 1892
| and the Republican managers in Pennsylvania
| should take warning.
