QUAY SHOWING
SIGNS OF PANIC
THlNes ARE NOT GOING HIS WAY
IN PENNSYLVANIA JUST AT
THIS TIME. e.
CHANCE FOR DEMOCRATS
Independent Element is Aroused and
1t Is Possible That Democratic
Nominee Will Win.

Philadelphia, October 29.-With
election day but one week off the pros
poets in Pennsylvania are that the
result will be very close. Until re.
Gently it seemed to be a certainty
that ex-Judge Samuel " PennypaclI-
err the republican candidate for gov
enor, would be elected by majority
somewhat below that usually rolled
up by the Quay machine, 1ut still sig
enough TO keep the result from being
in doubt at the hour of closing the
polls. But within the last ten days
there has come a change. The great
independent element in the stl'e has
begun to assert itself All It's hole
sentiment seems to be in favor OF
Robert E. Pattison, tne democratic
candidate for the Office of governor,
which he has Already held
The Quay machine is evidently tad
" scared. Quay himself, who, il is
said, once boasted that ne could make
his coachman governor of Penusy.va-
MIA, is signs of panic. Emerging from
his habitual silence, ne mas gone on
the stump and is bitterly deny .ng
the accusations which the democrats
have piled upon his head His Nrer-
sonally selected candidate for .yuyeI n
or his counsin. Judge Penny3acher,
has proved a failure as a drawing
card, and is ridiculed by republic ms
and democrats alike wherever he ap-
pears on the stump.
The Independent Element.
1t was the independent element
which twcie elected Pattison govern
or, and it seems likely to do so again
The whole state. except Philadelphia
shows evidence of making a bolt TO
the democratic ticket, and the repub-
lican leaders concede that Pattison
will carry Pittsburg and win have a
majority outside of Philadelphia. But
in Philadelphia Pattison can get no
majority. TIE machine in this city
is marvellous thing, rhe Tam
many machine is like a child sebide
the giant manufacturer OF votes to
order. According to conservative es-
Inmates Pattison's majority outside OF
Philadelphia will be in the neighbor-
hood of 5000 In Philadelphia the re
pubicans claim to be able to roll up
majority Of 100000, but this claim

dependent of the Quay element, has
repeatedly made the charge tlat
there are $4,000 fraudulent woes cast
in Philadelphia at each elect'on. The
democrats estimate that the republi-
cans viii this fall try 70 take $4,000
reaches that.
Democrats Awake.
Fraudulent voting on the part OF the
democrats viii be difficult. since they
have none of the machinery OF the
election in their hands, AMI ii is not
likely that they will accomplish nut h
in this line, even if they attempt it
They viii, however, make far more
strenuous efforts toward the preyen-
lion of fraud than ever before
Thus the chances are that the re-
publican majority in Philadelphia nay
be much less than normal, especially
since democratic meetings in this
city have been much more largely
attended during the past two weeks
than the republican meetings.
The legislature is extremely doubt
ful, with the chances much in favor
OF a majority against the machine.
This would mean the failure Of Sen
ator Penr0se to secure reelection.
Whether the democrats can obtain a
clear majority is somewhat doubtful,
and ii the independent republicans
succeed in holding the balance of pow
er, as they probably will, deadlock
over the senatorship may result.
The democrats are practically GER
tain to secure seven congressman, a
gain OF tnree, and are likely 70 get
one more.
