Stuart for Governor to-day caused much
i'll feeling in the western part of the State.
Lincoln party men tonight say they will
have nothing to do with Stuart or Penrose,
The Lincoln party, which had 2S5 GOO votes
in PENNSYLVANIA last fall, was pictured at
Harrisburg by Penrose as dropping their
candidate and supporting Stuart, but Lewis
j. Emery, the lincoln candidate, came out
tonight with a statement that he would
never withdraw for a man like Stuart, and
called on the Democrats to help the Lincoln
ties down the Republicans.
To-day's result was made possible by a
union Of Philadelphia and Allegheny coun-
ties, the former casting its ia votes sol'dly
for Stuart, and TIE latter giving 20 of its 40.
Although the slate was bitterly de-
Josiah V. Thompson and Col. Louis A.
Watrous, and some harsh things were said
OF Penrose, there will be no revolt against
the ticket. Thompson and Watrous tonight
both declared they would support Stuart,
