BIG VICTORY II CHESTER.
A dispatch from West Chester says:
The vote cast at the Republican primaries
in Chester county was record breaker,
, and Quay sweeps everything.
In West Chester one of the largest votes
ever counted was cut, and in every pre-
cInct the contest wagcd bitterly.
IN the country districts an exceptionally
/ large vote was also out. In many town
ships Ycturns will DO late in getting in.
. Each faction has carefully made up
table, however and from these u pretty
correct estimate may be gathered rs to
! the ultimate result.
The combine forces aro greatly dtsap-
pointed at the showing made by them.
They are running away behind their cal
culatiors, and Quay will sweep the
county.

Chester. the Quay candidate, and Thomas

he WINS IN FULTON.
A dispatch from NcConnellsburr says:
s'No fight between the old time political
parties for many years has been attended
with more activity on tie part Of the con
| testants than that within the ranks of
the Republicans at the primaries in Full
ton county. While the watchwords have
been Hastings and Quay, yet the real
fight consisted in the opportunity for the
local politicians to settle old scores.
Trusted messengers secured the rural dis
trict, and each faction manifested de-
termination to win that showed too
plainly that they felt that defeat in this
contest means political aEnihilation. Re-
ports from Tod, McConncllsburg, Thomp-
son and Ayr the last tic homo Of Repre-
sentative Patterson, leader of the com.
bine faction, show that Quay has swept
everything, and there is no doubt but
that he carries Tie entire county. DR.. A.
ID. Dalbcy will likely be chairman Of the
county committee, and the election OF
delegate to the state convention will be
between NJ +. Shaffner and DR.. w. =
McKibbin."
SUCCESS IN MIFFLIN.
A dispatch from Lewistown says: "Sev-
enteen out Of the nineteen districts give
Quay majority of 800, aud the other dis
tricts will probably increase his majority.
The contest has been the most bitter ever
known here. The administration made q
most aggressive uphill fight. The Woods
faction supported the cause of Gilkeson
and the Cul5crtson faction that of Quay
Two emissuries of the administration

test put up against him."
| WYOMING NOW FOR QUAY.
A dispatch from Wyoming, dated Sat
urday, says: Owing to the dispute about
State Delegate Il. p. Northrop, the Re
pub,icars OF Wyoming county today held
another primary election. The Gilkeson
followers remained away from the polls
and there was no opposition to the Quay
candidate.
The convention Of Monday will be Of
ficered the same as the former conven
ton. Northrop will be given an oppor
tunity to face the convention, and, failing
to pledge himself for Quay, a new dele
gate, fully instructed for Quay. will be
elected.
Northrop is strongly opposed to Quay
and was chosen state delegate before the
fight began. He since refused to be bound
by Quay Instructions.
