ELECTIONS IN PENNSYLVANIA
Lively Contests in the Cities of the
Keystone State.


Philadelphia, Feb. 1S.-Elections were
held throughout Pennsylvania today
for municipal and borough officers.
There was no general vote either for
county or state officers. In some sec
tons of the state the recent heavy
snowstorm had made the roads almost
impossible and a light vote was the
result. but in most sections a heavy
vote was polled. especially in the larger
cities. Local issues predominated in
the various contests. general politics
not entering as a rule in settlement
Of fights.
Thus in Philadelphia the candidates
supported by the Republican city and
state leaders swept everything, elect
ing all the candidates for the more i'm
pOrtant offices and nearly all the ward
officers. This also included a big ma
jority for the $5,000000 Improvement
loan.

carried by those opposing tie state and

risburg, Vance c.. Cormick. Democratic

partment today gives a list of the

( country containing unstinted praise Of

} For himself, he said, he preferred 10
Z tell the truth. no matter how unpalat-
able IL might be. Adverting to the
statements made by Mr.. GrOsvenor and
ny Gllet last Friday bout the visit
I OF me Prince Of Wales during Buchan-
ans administra ton, Mr.. Wheeler de-
clared that those statements were alb
soiutely incorrect. He said President
buchanan had received the prince as
private individual. and had borne
the expense out Of his own pocket: he
mad even paid the cost Of a govern
Hsent revenue cutter used on that oc-
caslon- he said that he had never
opJected TO receiving a distinguished
foreigner with proper consideration.
What he objected to was the spirit OF
frequency and sycophancy that mad
characterized this and the preceding
administration. especially in the con-
( duet OF the state department.
Referring 20 the communications
( that he had received. he said that
niHe-tenths of them we're from north

Mr.. Wheeler began to read some Of
the communications he had received.

were from Kentucky He drst read q,

Mr.. Mercer Of Nebraska.
