DEMOCRATS STAYED At HOME.
This Is why the Republican Majority In
Pennsylvania Is Probably 10000.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. S.-Pennsylvania yester-
day gave a majority which. when the official
count Is completed 1t is believed will exceed
100000. surprising all previous records in the
history OF the party in this State with ono OK
cention, This exception was the majority Of
l3I.I2S given Grant for President over Greeley
In 1877. Philadelphia county alone gives
Jackson lRep.l for state Treasurer majority
OF 52.l52 and Allegheny county adds 10000
more. Philadelphia in 1891 gave Republican
majority for State Treasurer of 28.509.
The increase in the Republican majority In
this city this year seems to rest entirely upon
the fact that many Democrats failed to go to
the polls. as will be seen by comparison with
the vote In 1891. In the latter year the vote
here for State Treasurer was: Morrison tRepl
lO1. .9S5: Tilden DEM. 73.4l0. Yesterday
the poll was: Jackson (Rep.L lO3. 1873: Osburn
DEM. 5l.5So.
In almest every county In the State Increased
Republican pluralities are recorded. The
counties In the anthracite coal region all fiop
over from the Democratic to the Republican
column. For Judge Of the Supreme Court the
majority in the State for Bell iRepl will not
materially differ from that OF tho head OF the
ticket.
