PATTISON FOR PRESIDENT.
DEMOCRATS THINK HE is STRONGER
THAN CLEVELAND.


j. NJ Gufy Says Quay Made NIistake-Mr.
Foley Holds That the Rural Counties Re-
pudiated the Mckinley Bill-Magee's
Position Strengthened.
j. NJ. Guffy, The oil man, and Democrat,
said: This election to me means several
things. First, a clean Executive for the
next four years and the retirement of Grover
Cleveland. Pattison to-day is the coming
man, and 1 see no reason why
he should not be nominated for Presi-
dent bv the Democratic party in
1892 Pennsylvania is as great State as New
York and why shouldn't we have President7
Another thing 1 notice. Outside of Pennsyl-
vania. Where The tariff will always carry an
election. bur | understand the situation thor
ou.hly Ihis time, the Mckinley tariff bill mas
proved Jonah and the rock of destruction for
the Republicans. The party has met with de-
feat everywhere, and the next House is Demo-
cratic. 1t simply means that the people at
large have repudiated the Republican hlgh
tariff ideas. All the Congressional nights nave
been made on this basis, and the Democrats
have won.
LAS for the factional disputes in this State
all can say is that MI. Quay has made great
mistake and Mr.. Magee has not"
QUAY A sHREwD MAN.
Timothy j. o'Leary, Jr., said: Senator Quay
he has met his Waterloo. The plank in the
Republican platform indorsing Quay has
wrecked the party. Like Napoleon, the.people
have sent him to the Island of st. Helena, and
in my opinion he will stay there. Mr.. Magee
has greatly strengthened bis position, and is
the coming Republican leader"
Pat Foley said: "MaGee is at the top OF the
heap, of course. and Q quay has received black
eye from which he may not recover. 1t Will be
a nip and tuck fight. don't believe that Mr.
l{pd a m Delanater
but through his paper his friends knew how he
stood. II Magee had not lad down IN thls
fight, Allegheny county would have given Del
amater a majority of l5,OOO and the Democrats
wouldn't have been in It.
but look 1t the result also from another
standpoint. Ii you will notice, Allegheny and
Philadelphia counties, the great manufactur-
ing and moneyed centers of the State, have
given Delamater a majority of 24OO0 votes. 1t
the rural counties that elected Pattlson,
and take this as a viudlcation of Grover
Clevelaud's tariff-reform doctrine Pattison
Will make strong Governor. He was 4 mere
boy when he was Governor before. but he re-
turns to power with the experience of one term
and the weight of years added"
Jury Commissioner Giles Endorsed what Mr..
Foley said, and agreed with him that Mr. Ma
gee had come out ahead in the contest.
REBUKED BY THE PEOPLE.
General P N Guthrie, Democrat: ''Quay is
no longer in power. He has been severely re-
buked by the people. Clean politics must pre-
vail
Ed Scull had been so much exercised over
his fathers fight for Congress in the Somerset
district that he hadn't had much time to think.
According to the latest returns he thought his
father would pull through with majority OF
400 votes. There was a considerable slump In
Blair county, which is easily explained.
Mr.. Hicks. who was indorsed by the Blair Re-
publicaus, thought his chances would be i'm
proved by stirring up strong feeling against
SCuli and Cessna, the other candidates. AS
Mr.. Scull was only nominated three days be-
fore the election, Mr.. Hicks break could not
be repaired in so short q time, though he went
to work manfully to do it.
Concerning the effects of the election, Mr..
Scull said: Quay will certainly have an uphill
fight from this time out, and think be will or
ganiZe his forces to make the battle for pres
tige in thls'citv. / expect to see some lively
times in the next two years in Pittsburg.
l have heard a number of Quay Republicans
blame the result on MIR. Magee.land openly say
that when he wants anything they would work
hard against him.
DEPENDS UPON THE PRESIDENT.
in nv Judgment much depends on what
President Harrison will do. If he takes this
defeat as a reputation of Senator Quay by the
people of the State and withdraws the Govern
ment patronage from him, then. indeed, Mr..
Quay will have hard time of 1t to retain his
grip. Time only will tell what the outcome
will be-"
W. s Gufy, a Democrat, said: 1.-The cleo
tion OF Pattison means that the Standard Oil
Company and the Pennsylvania Railroad won't
rule the State for the next four. years. The
oil men will have a decent show with the
monopoly. Quay has received a bad setback
but people mustn't imagine that he is knocked
out. be will die hard. This was an election
that money couldn't buy. The vest pocket
voters that healer would not dare approach
settled the result Money will buy many things,
but not the honest man. Mr.. Magee has
greatly strengthened his position"
