ports to the headquarters Of the state demo-
cratic committee in this city from nearly
all the counties of the state indicate that
"A large vote is being polled at today's cleo
ton. The weather is clear and cold and
special efforts are being put forth in every
county by both parties to get out their full
vote. Those in charge of the state demo-
cratic headquarters decline to give an esti-
mate of the total vote polled for the state
ticket of eithe' party. The republicans are
betting even that Hastings will have 125.0O
plurality. Senator Cameron voted here this
morning. Governor Pattison votes in the
same ward. The peoples party expects to
make large gains through the state over the
vote of 1893.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, November Gre
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 it 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
most active in recent years, was fought al
most entirely on national lines, and the re-
suit has been that voters in every county
are focking 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
sylvania democracy. are cutting Joseph +.
McCullen, the regular democratic nominee,
and voting for Frederick Halterman, repub-
hcan, who is likely to be elected.
The republicans in turn are voting for
two Pennsylvania democracy candidates for
the legislature from the third and fourth
wards. and they will probably be elected.
The Pennsylvania democracy voters are
also helping to eject Elwood Becker repub-
hcan candidate for Senator in the third con-
gressional district.
AT noon the republicans are claiming that
they VIII elect Halterman by from 3, No to
4,Up majority. In other parts of the city the
voting is proceeding quietly, and there has
been no sign o. an election row, although
party feeling runs high in some localities

LANCASTER, Pa, November 6-The cleo
tion here is progressing very quietly and a
large vote is being polled. The principal in
terest centers in the assembly contest, the
candidates being George Forrest democrat
who was elected to the last legislatu but
busted in the contest made in the house by
his opponent-W. w. Franklin-and Frank
McClain republican,. The latter Is a Cath
Ole, and as consequence religion was in
1ected 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-
ngious grounds TO elect him. On the other
hand, the republicans looked to the Cath
olics, who are nearly all democrats to SUD-
port McClain, and thus more than counter
balance the detection. So far as can be as
certalned there is not near as much cutting
