The result Of the election IN Pennsyi-
vania is an apparent vindication for
Senator N. S. Quay. whose candidate
for governor. w 4. Stone, was elected
by plurality OF 10000. a strong hght
was made against Quay. whose dicta-
ton In state politics has become IN
bearable TO many OF his own party, but
the opposition was divided and ne car
ried the state withou, difficulty. The
Democratic state convention failed to
indorse the Chicago platform and Bry-
anism, but nominated a man for gov
erncr who was, and Is, an avowed ad
yocate Of free silver. The result was
that many sound money Democrats
were driven to the support Of DR.. Swal-
low, the Prohibition candidate JOHN
Wanamaker made every effort TO down
Quayisrn, but failed. The legislature IS
strongly Republican, but il is claimed
that a majority Of the members-elect
are pledged to vote against Quay. whose
term expires next March.
The boss" has been in seclusIon dur
ing the greater part of the campaign,
and from time TO time the announce
uient was made that his health was so
precarious that it was doubtful If he
would be a candidate for reelection.
No sooner was the result Of the
election known than ne announced him
self candidate for the United States
senate and followed this announcement
by offering a reward Of $40. 600 for the
detection and conviction of any men-
Der of the Legislature found guilty of
taking a bride. or for the conviction of
tor to vote for any particular candidate
for the United States senate
Then John Wanamaker offered a re-
ward Of s2o 600 for the conviction of any
person offering bride for the purpose
Of influencing members TO vote. or for
the conviction of any member found
guilty OF accepting bride or reward ot
any kind intended TO influence his vote
for or against any candidate for the
United States senate. This offer of Mr.
Wanamaker stands good for one year
and is sweeping in it's nature, including
in its terms the Offering or accepting of

The way the people Of Pennsylvania
have stood by Senator Quay in the face
of all the attacks made upon him makes
it evident that he is not SO black as he
is painted.
Mr. Wanamaker has announced that

II is noticeable that the Pennsylvania
