midnight all indications point to the
election of Charles F. Warwick as
mayor Of this city by a majority
Robert w. Pattison, the eX-gov-
ernor of the state. William J. Roney,
the Republican candidate for receiv-
er of taxes, has evidently been
largely cut by his party, but his
majority over Col. Sylvester Banaf-
fon, the Democratic and Reform
candidate, is estimated at 10000.
Twelve police magistrates, eleven
select councilmen and seventy-nine
common councilmen have been elect
ed, and present indications are that
the Republicans have these offices.
. Unusual interest was manifested in
the electioion. and a remarkably
sIarge vote was polled. 1t was ideal
Republican weather" mild and
spring-like, with a bright sunshine.
The day was generally observed as
a holiday and the streets were
crowded. The fight waged by the
two reform organizations, the munic-
ipal league and the citizens commit
tee of ninety-f1ve, was directed
against the councilmen whose rec
ords justified their turning down."
The most sanguine of the Repub-
lican leaders did not hope for a ma
jority higher than $4,000 or 100000
while Gov. Pattison today eX-
pressed himself as confident that he
would be elected by about 10000 plu-
rality. That the Pennsylvania
Democracy, the faction opposed to
the leadership of National Chair
man Harrity, cut Pattison is indi-
Gated by the fact that the Twelfth
ward, which usually goes Demo-
cratic, gave Warwick 400 majority.
The returns came in very slowly,
but at midnight, in seventeen wards
out of the thirty-seven which make
out the city, there was a majority of
10000 for Warwick. These same
wards gave Hastings 10000 over
Singerly in the late gubernatorial
majority was $4,000.
The greatest interest was mani
tested in this election, as 1T long
since assumed the shape of desper-
ate attack against the Republican
combine, headed by David Martin
and Senator Charles A. Porter. The
throwing down" by these leaders
of Senator Penrose, just before the
convention, at which it was gener-
ally supposed he would be nom
mated, created a great deal of dis
affection among Republicans, and
led to the open breach between
Senator Quay and the leaders of
the combine. From that time it
was thought Quay would give his
support to Pattison, brA the over
whelming majority rolled up by the
Republicans today clearly demon
strates that Mr.. Quay decided to
sacrifice his personal feelings to the
good of his party, and turned in
for the support of the ticket. Mr..
Warwick received the returns at
Mayor Stuart's office, and eX-
pressed his great satisfaction at the
result, though agreeably surprised
at the large figures. Mr.. PattisSh
remained at his country home at
Overlook, and received the returns
over a special wire. The returns
from the Eighth ward-Senator
Penrose's ward = show a majority
for Warwick of 1,0O7 Hastings
majority in the ward last November
was 1898.
1:3O a. NAT this hour there is
nothing to indicate that the munich
pal league, the reform organiza-
ton, has elected any of it's candi-
dates.
