REPUBLICAN, VICTORY
Samuel w. pennypacker Elect
ed Governor by Usual Large
Majority.

Ex-Judge Samuel w. Pennypack-
err is elected Governor by over $50.
600 majority. Thus ends the cam
paign of vituperation and abuse, the
nasty cartoons and the mud singing
which has been the Democratic stock
in trade. Chairman Greasy told his
followers that Pattison would have
100000 majority and this misled many
good Democrats who bet their mon
ey and lost it. Chairman Quay pre-
dicted 100000 majority and the
chances are it has been obtained.
Pres. Baer of the Reading Rail
Road and the big man for the oper-
ators went to the polls and voted for
Pattison. The Philadelphia papers
say that he said he would strain ev-
cry effort to beat Pennypacker on
account of the aid which Quay and
Penrose gave to the strikers. But
while the big boss voted for Pattison,
thousands of honest and intelligent
laborers voted the other way, and
the result was that workingmen
won. Every credit for the election
of Pennypacker must be given to the
farmers and laboring men of Penn
sylvania. 1t was their vote which
did the business and we know that
the clean and honest administration
which Judge Pennypacker will give,
will amply repay them for their de.
votion to the best interests of the
State.
