The Scranton tribune. [volume] (Scranton, Pa.) 1891-1910, 1896-11-04
A CLEAN SWEEP
Concluded from Page IL

sa1eiy elected In the second district.
CHAIRMAN JENNINGS POSITION.
In the Democratic county headquar-
ters Jennings would concede the cleo
tion of but one Republican candidate,
either national or county. He admitted
the success of Farr and the defeat OF
LaBarr in the First legislative; held
koehler's defeat by Alex. Connell in
the Second legislative district as doubt
full. and claimed the election of Fadden
and Judge in the Fourth and Third
Legislative districts, respectively.
Mr.. Jennings would not admit the de-
feat of either Bryan or Merrifield.
That The Tribune figures are cor
rect is an assertion based strictly upon
the reliable returns.
During the evening in the Demo-
cratic camp in Music Hall the abject
air and dependency of the county lead
ers belied their chairman's opinion.
There were gathered there Mr.. Merri-
field, Joseph Taylor. NJ. ]. Kelly, d. j.
Reedy, John j. Gaffney. w. ]. Burke,
Editor Richard Beamish. of the SUM-
day Free Press; Editor Lynett. Of the
Times; F. ]. Fitzsimmons. NJ. F. Fad
den, John ]. Durkin and others.
In reading the returns, not all OF
those indicating the Republican land
slide in nation and county were read.
That accounts for much Of the en-
thusiasm Of the large audience that
Music Hall contained.
Up in the Central Republican club
rooms in the Price building were gath
cred the best known of the cisy's Re-
publicans. The returns We're read and
then recorded on large sheets. which
We're against the wall and in full view
of those present. The cheering never
Jagged, and as early as 10 o'clock there
did not seem to be any doubt as to the
result.
MIR. CONNELL sERENADED.
A crowd of several hundred persons
marched to Mr.. COnnelrs residence on
Clay avenue at l o'clock this morning
