Butler citizen. [volume] (Butler, Pa.) 1877-1922, 1894-02-23
NEARLY l75,000.

The election in Pennsylvania has clearly
shown the popular will towards the Demo-
cratic ideas Of the tariff, and Grow has
plsurality of 10, 900, or more. In the
town the Republicans again triumph and
elect nearly all the officers.
Philadelphia has given Galusha A Grow,
Republican candidate for congressman-at-
large, a plurality of 5S, SAG votes and the
latest figures indicate that the remainder oi
the state will give almost hundred thous-
and This will bring the ex-speakers pleursl,-
ty over Hancock up TO almost 16O.OOO. the
,argest majority ever given any candidate
~ the Keystone state. In dozen OF the
smallest counties. notably along the north
ern tier. the Democrats made slight gains,
,ut these gains were more than counter
balanced by the large vote polled by the
Republicans on the central, eastern and
western counties. In Reading the Repuo-
Iicans made a sweep, carrying hoth branch
es of com is for the first time in a mum
,er OF years. thus giving them the entire
city government The county gives Grow
| 500 plurality.
Galusha A. Grow is elected to Congress
~ majority that overtops the high water
mark of Grants 1877. .72S in 1872. Penn
:, ,lvauia gives majority against the VIII
son bill in q mid winter election in an oil
ear, greater than she ever gave to q
presidential cane late; goes more heavily
Republican in this year OF Democratic
lseendency than she ever went IN 'ne
ears following the war. when the fortunes
f the Democracy were at their lowest ebb
and the very party name itself was re-
proach among patriotic citizens. There
we're few speeches and no brass bands IL
needed none~The Democratic party in
Pennsylvanis simply disappeared like n
nsbbling stream that runs INTO an earth
quake.
AS Gov. Mckinley said in his recent
speech in Pittsburg, the people of Pennsyl-
yania had an opportunity yesterday which
these of other States would have been glad
TO have-an opportunity to deliver their
Judgment upon the Democratic admins
trarion of the country's affairs-and they
used it as the people of other States would
have used it if it had been offered to them
The trumpet sounded for the triumphal
march of 1896 and Pennsylvania takes the
right of the lire.
The returns from the county as far as IN
indicate light vote being polled and are
so incomplete, a great number OF the
Boards having failed to send in unsealed
returns, that it is impossible to print table
of any satisfaction this week. We VIII
publish the table next week.
