Philadelphia. Nov. 1.-The state camrai was
brought to a close tonight with a Republican
meeting in this city. addressed by Gov
ernor Stone. Senator Penrose. ex-Judge Penny
packer. ex-Postmaster General Charles Emory
Smith and local candidates. The Democratic
campaign practically ended last night.
Both sides say that they will win. The Re
publicans assert that Judge Pennypacker will
defeat r. E Pattison, the Democratic candi-
date for Governor. by at least one hundred
thousand majority. The Democratic leaders, on
the other hand, are equally confident of success
basing their opinions principally on the hearty
reception of their candidate in his stamping
tour
Particular interest is evinced in the Iegis-
latve election. Senator Penrose comes up for
reelection IN March a strong effort has been
made by the Democrats to change the complex
ion of the legislature in the hope of defeating
him. The Republican leaders complain of the
apathy of the voters, but the Democratic leaders
assert that a lively interest has been displayed
throughout the State during the entire cam
paign
In this city there is practically no opposition
to either of the six Republican Congress candi-
dates. and their election is assured. Only two
legislative districts in the city are I'm doubt and
the entire Republican ticket will be elected
