THE RESULT rs DOUBTFUL.
Battle Between Sibley and Emery Close.
Serious Charges In Third Penn
sylvania District.

Philadelphia, Nov 5.-The two most
notable fights for congress in this
state this election are III the Twenty
seventh and the Third districts. The
former comprises Venango Warren,
Mexican and Cameron counties, in the
northwestern part of the state. Con-
gresham Joseph c. Sibley, who was
elected two years ago as a Democrat
from this district by plurality of
2,3S1 over c. w. Stone, Republican,
but who, during the recent session of
congress, announced his allegiance to
the Republican party, is the candi
date against Lewis Emery, Jr.. Demo
crat. The fight here is a bitter one
and the result is doubtful. The Third
district, formerly represented by Hon.
Samuel ]. Randall, is in Philadelphia.
and is the scene of another determined
fight. Congressman McAleer, Demo-
crat and present representative, and
Henry Burk, Republican, are the can
didates. Charges of police interfer-
ence, repeating, false registration and
all manner of political fraud are being
freely made on both sides. Both claim
victory here.
Every effort is being made by lead
srs of the Quay and anti-Quay fac

w ]. Bryan attended 4 week ago last
Sunday when in New York. AS DR.
Parkhurst's topic for Sunday was an
nounced a week ago the church could
hardly hold the people who came to
listen. The doctor said in part that
patriotism meant the devoting of our
selves to Our country rather than our
country to ourselves. No patriotic
American could fail 10 recognize as
one of the perils confronting Amer
lea the strained relations which exist
between the two competing classes of
our population But the candidate
who stood for this disaffection had
not made it. but the disaffection had
made him.
DR. Parkhurst further said in part
that ''to indulge in dollar that makes
believe that it Is q whole dollar when
it is only half dollar would be to
transform our entire people into a
great American Ananias. That may
not be the phraseology of the econo-
mists. but that is the Mount Sinai of

be every effort made to send each

There will be no exception made.
1t is to be hoped that no one will

determination is to see to it that the
violators of law are punished to the

CLAIMS FIGHT rs WON.
Chairman Jones Expresses Confidence In
the Success of Bryan and
SteVenSOn.

Chicago, Nov 5.-The following
Jones, of the National Democratic
committees:
THE fight is won. Bryan and
Stevenson will be elected. The Demo
cratic majority in the electoral col
lege will be ample.
The Democrats will hold all the
states they carried in 1896 with the
possible exception of Wyoming. We
will also carry New York, New Jer-
sey, Delaware, Maryland, West Vir-
ginia. Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio and
Illinois The chairman of the state
committee of California has just wired
me that we will carry that state by
10000 majority.
'In a general way | should say
that there will be somewhat of a fall
Ing off of Bryan's strength compared
with 1896 west of the Mississippi, but
east of the Mississippi he will make
overwhelming gains.
The campaign has been spirited
from the start The Democrats were
somewhat handicapped for want of
funds. while the Republicans, as four
years ago, had more money than they
could use. The Republicans have en-
deavored to intimidate laboring men
and alarm business men, but not with
the fierce oppression they brought to
bear in 1896.

has been failure this year and that
both workingmen and business men
will vote according to the dictates Of
