The vote polled in the state was un-

more than 25,0O0 votes.
In I.uzerne county, the home OF

The great interest in the fight made by
the fusionists to defeat the regular

The fusion leaders in Philadelphia
extract consolation from the fact thai
they elected one of the three judges
chosen for the new court of common

elect their entire city ticket, with the
exception of Davis for sheriff, who ap-
pears to be beaten by about 600 major
