the Neishborhood of 165'ooo'
Greasy Claims Legislature.


Philadelphia, Nov. 4.-Voting is
proceeding throughout the state to-
day.
Senator Quay prepared state
ment giving his estimates of the vote
by counties On governor at today's
electi3n. The statement was given
to the press last night at Republican
state headquarters here by MT. w.
F. Wright, the senator's private Sec
retary. Mr.. Wright said the figures
are conservative and were obtained
from Representatives of county chair
men. In q number of instances, he
said, lthe estimates Of the county
chairmen were reduced considerably
by the senator.
The statement said in part:
! In 81 counties outside Of Allie
gheny and Philadelphia the estimates
received from the respective county
/ chairrhen show a net gain Of 1888
votes for Pennypacker over the total
vote cast therein for Barnett for stat
treasurer in 1899.
"In the remaining % counties out.
! side Of Allegheny and Philadelphia
the estimates show a net loss Of H.
| S34 votes compared with the number
received by Barnett, making a total
net gain for Pennypacker, outside of
the counties of Allegheny and Phila-
delphia, Of 9,1O4 votes.
Compared to 6arnett's Plurality.
"Barnett's majority in the state
was 110,4SS, Of which Philadelphia
contributed 1864 and Allegheny, 16,-
493. The other IS counties gave Bar
nett a majority Of 24,331. Add to this
the total net gain just mentioned,
9,104, as estimated for Judge Penny
packer. and our ticket will come to
the counties Of Philadelphia and AL
legheny with q majority Of 33,435.
These are conservative estimates,
and the total Republican majority
outside of the counties named may
largely exceed the figures given.
add to this estimate that of $4,000
majority reported from Allegheny
and 105, 900 in Philadelphia, and you
will see that the total majority in
the state for Judge Pennypacker is
likely to be in the neighborhood Of
1890 votes.
LAS to the congressman, we will
hold our own and are likely to gain
several districts. But one district,
that the Berks-Lehigh, is conceded to
the Democracy.
The legislature will have two
thirds Republican majority in both
branches"

For Psnnypacker-Alleg 25,-
