TIE STATE TREASURtESHIP.
ftinciral Interest In Barnett and Crcasy.
Speculation TO Which VIII Get
Greater Portion nf Independent Vote
of Past Two Years.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 7.-Voting is un-
der way i'll this state today.
The principal interest is manifested
in the vote Tor state treasurer and par
ticularly as to which oil the two proml-
nent candidates tor that office will re-
caive the greater portion Of the big in-
dependent vote cast i'll the general eiec-
tions OF the last two years. DR.. Swai-
low, the preacher editor and Prohibi-
zionist, received lie, 1863 votes for state
treasurer III 1897 and l3l 1888 votes for
governor i'll 1888. In these years the
Republican candidates had pluralities
respectively Of I29, III and lis. lJS. 1he
Swallow vote was cast largely by indie
pendent voters of the two lead ing
parties, who were dissatisfied with the
party issres or their party leatiers.
TIis year there is no independent
candidate to draw these votes, aud Inc
Democratic leaders claim that Greasy,
their candidate for state treasurer, will
benefit from this independent vote.
Furthermore, they claim that vigorous
efforts TO prevent illegal voting III this
city will result i'll reducing the hereto
fore large Republican maJorities re-
turned from Philadelphia.
The Republican state chairman and
other party leaders. however, conli
IDENTIFY claim that Barnett, the r.,
publican state treasurer candidate, viii
receive the full party vote and that he
will have :; majority in tho stale OF at
least l15,Ov0
The totsi vote last year was $50, 5,VoJ,
but the general prediction is tlat the
vote this year will fall FULLY 100000 be-
low these figures.
