| Fetterolf The agents cf the hog combine
had there been active for many days.

to all appearances, had been au. horiZcd to
promise anything in the way OF patronage.
Stewart had made personal appeals to his
friends to stand by the administration,
aud Fetterolf had been even more active
for the combine candidate. Every posi-
bic wire was pulled, but at midnight tho
Hastings people admitted their defeat,
and conceded Montgonery's seven state
conve ntion delegates 70 Senator Quav.
IN Schuylkill there were interesting
battles in several Of the district conven-
items, charged uudcc the party rules with

preadventurc OF dou5t. despite the
boo,ilc and the places which have been
thrcwn into tk8 scales in an effort to
carry the county fer the Martin-Hastings-
Warwick combine Secretary Fettcrolf
and the other combine leaders Who, a few
days ago, were satisfied that the county
would go against Quay. were sorely dis
appointed, and were net TO be found late
in the evening.
Toward. midnight the people of Norris
town learned of the junior senator's vic
tory, and enthusiasm ran riot. The senLi-
meat was all for Qlay, ana although sew
eral wards i'll the town were kotly CON
tested, the result seemed to end Gil bad

| the First ward went for Hastings, and in
! the Second district Of tie same ward n
majority WAS poiled for Quay. The Sec.

HOW the COUNTY WENT.
! District Attorney Holland and ex-Stats
Senator Brown have been running the
fight for Quay, and both men were well
satisfied that Quay was the winner by a
majority of at least 50, and rs the leaders
OF the opposing faction could not be found
there was no one to dispute the claim.
The Quay people had grounds on which
to base their estimates. The returns %
far received show that Norristown went
Is for Quay to 1a for Hastings, with lot
Of contests and small majorities in the
wards that lined up for the latter. East
Conshohocken will send 10 solid delegates
for Quay on tuesday, while West Consho
J hocken will add 2 to the number. Roy.
ersford registers votes for the junio,
senator and North Wales 2, while the Has
tings people carried Pottstown by vote
of 12 to 8. North and South Ardmore
which were unlocked for by tho Quay
forces, turned in 4 votes to add to tht
victory. and Bridgeport added a similar
number. The vote SO far as registered
shows 30 for Quay and 81 for Hastings, ant
the supporters of the former are positiv,
= that he will have at least 80 majority IL
3 the county.
I The granger element was practically
/ unit against Hastings and the methods o
the combine. The effects Of the victorl
? san scarcely be overestimated, as it viz
