ton. The weather is clear and cold and

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, November Ere
ports from all parts Of the state Indicate
that the vote is fully as heavy as that poll
ed In 1892. The weather is clear and
pleasant except In the northern and north
western counties. where 1t was cloudy up to
noon. With that however. the clouds In
those sections disappeared. giving bright
clear weather all over the commonwealth.
The contest In this state which was the
moot active in recent years. was fought al
most entirely on national lines and the re-
suit has been that voters in every county
are hocking to the polls.
In this city interest centers almost exclu-
sfvely In the third congressional district,
formerly represented by Samuel j. Randall
William McAleer. democrat, Is the present
Congressman from the third, but he was
defeated for denomination by what Is
known as the administration faction Of the
democracy. In retaliation the McAleerites,
VINO belong to the faction called the Penn
syivania democracy, are cutting Joseph +.
McCuIlen. the regular democratic nominee,
and voting for Frederick Halterman repub-
lican. who is likely to be elected.
Inc republicans in turn are voting for
the legislature from the third and fourth
vards, and they will probably be elected.
Ihe pennsylvania democracy voters are
also helping to elect Elwood Becker, repub-
gressional district.
AT noon the republicans are Claiming that
they will elect Halterman by from 3, 30 to
4,OOO majority. In other parts of the city the
voting Is proceeding quietly, and there has
been no sign OF an election row, although
party feeling runs high In some localities.

pleas court all day, as usual, but has not
oeen called ut on to decide airy disputes or
commit any Offenders.
weather Is clear and large vote is being
polled throughout Allegheny county. Re-
publican Chairman Gripp has 1900 chal-
lenges marked in the poll books on the
ground OF non-payment Of taxes. The in
terest centers in the congressional fight In

Sipe, democratic. The prest mt incumbent,
and e. F. Acheson, republican. The district
test of the populist strength In this county.
Up to this hour they are making no definite
claims.
LANCASTER, Pa, November 1.-THE cleo
ton here is progressing very quietly and q
large vote Is being polled The PRINCIPAL in
terest centers in the assembly contest, the
candidates being George Forrest (democraD
who was elected to the last legislature, but
ousted In the contest made in the house by
his opponent-W. w. Franklin-and Frank
McClain republcan). The latter Is q Cath
oiic, and as a consequence religion was In
jected into the campaign some weeks ago
and has caused feeling Of no little bitter
ness. Many republicans voted for Forrest
today because they thought he was counted
out two years ago, and the democrats hoped
that enough others would join them on re-
1gious grounds to elect him. On the other
hand, the republicans looked to the Cath
olics who are nearly all democrats. to sup
port Mccain. and thus more than counter
balance the detection. So far as can be as
certained there Is not near as much cutting
on either side as was expected. AMI little Of
what Is being done affects the heads of the
ticket. Reports from the country districts
indicate very large vote.

gresham Reilly will be reelected by from

Many democratic Germans and nearly all
the Hebrews. Poles and Hungarians
throughout the county are voting the
straight republican ticket aud the demo-
cratic managers acknowledge that they ex-
pect to win only a part of the ticket.
The fight IN the thirtieth nator!al dis
trict Is the bitterest Of all and no esti-
mates are given by either side.
