 RUNAWAY joKE-Even the horses that pull the city sprinkling carts have to have their little jokes Last night a horse in one of the teams that was standing on north Center street, slip ped the bit from his mouth and the whole outfit started south. The driver stayed with the ship and stopped the team between Jackson and Harrison streets. No damage.
 MORE WASHOUTS-It was report ed here last night that there was a washout on the Southern Pacific near Beaumont, Cal. the telegraph wires being broken also, so communication with Los Angeles, via the Western Un- ion, could be had only via Fl Paso Denver, and San Francisco. No par ticuIars were obtainable, but if there is a serious washout there it is pretty near the last straw before the bend ing, at least, of the cameFs back, for it has been for some days the only trail to the coast for both the Southern Pa cific and Santa Fe. Papers from that section yester day report heavy storms though at \that time there was no washout. The Santa Fe train that was expected to go north through Phoenix about midnight Friday night, reached here about o'clock yesterday morning and another north bound train passed through late yesterday afternoon The regular s. F., P. & P. trains being an nulled, no mail reached here from the north between Friday morning and early this morning, or about midnight, i when the consolidated train arrived, composed of Nos. 1 and :, Santa Fe west bound.

PENNSYLVANIA AND THE PRESIDENT.

The greatest of Republican States has outdone
itself in the plurality 1t records this year for
Roosevelt and Fairbanks. 1t is announced from
Harrisburg that the Republican electoral ticket
in Pennsylvania will have a plurality of about
$4,000. This is, of course, the most tremendous
plurality ever given to q Presidential candidate
in any State of the Union.
Pennsylvania Republican pluraIities have
for many years exceeded those given in other
commemorative. The keystone State became
Republican in 1850, and has given its electoral
vote to every Republican candidate since Ere
mont But from 1860 to 1880 the Democratic
party retained much of its ancient vigor, and
Republican victories were not won without eff
fort. In 1854 Lincoln had a plurality of 2O075
over Mcclellan. and in 1868 Grant had plurality
Of Is 1893 over Seymour Grant received the ex-
ceptionaI plurality Of 137,54S IN 1872, when the
Democratic-Liberal Republican campaign went
10 pieces; but IN 1876 HayesS plurality fell to
1864. Garfield. in 1880, running against Han
cock. Pennsylvania, had a margin of only
1923. With Mr.. Blaines campaign in 1884 Re
publican puralities began to mount Blaine
beat Cleveland by 4S744 votes and Harrison. in
1883, beat Cleveland by 79,45S. In 1892 Harrl-
son again carried the State against Cleveland
by 63,747, although the Republican ticket lost
heavily throughout the country The present
era Of overwhelming pluralities dates from 1894.
Wnen Galusha A. Grow, as a candidate for Rep
resentative-at-Large IN Congress defeated his
Democratic opponent by 242, 4OS votes In 1896
Mckinney received a plurality Of 295, 070 and In
1900 plurality OF $751; 33 Last year the Re-
publican candidate for State Treasurer received
q plurality Of 2S5347. But President Roose-
velt's plurality this year distances all previous
records, nearly doubling the average maiorities
Of Republican candidates In these last ten
strongly Republican years
The exceptional character of the Presidents
victory is shown by the fact that he carried
every one Of the thirty-two Congress districts
in the State. One Democratic Representative
was elected by a narrow margin in q district
normally Democratic by 5000 But the Repub-
hcan electoral ticket won even in that district
by about 1000. At Pttsburg on Friday the
President alluded with feeling to the compli-
ment paid him this year in the most staIwart
hepubican commonwealth In the Union In no
other State, certainly, have his administration
and his policies found a more cordial and a
more apprecative support Thoroughly demo-
cratic IN feeling and thoroughly Republican in
It's ideals and attachments Pennsylvania has
recognized in President Roosevelt leader OF,
ceptlonally fitted for the tasks and duties of his
great ONCE, and its people have given him n
vote OF confidence in which party lines and
partisan preJudices have been virtually obliter.
ated. Among the many testimonials OF -asnac+
and confidence recently showered on him. this
testimonial must rightly appeal to him Ms ons y,
the most notable and the most grateful
