Philadelphia. Nov. 4.-Boies Penrose
was reelected to the United States
senate by plurality approaching
100, 900.
DR.. Martin Brumbaugh, Republican
candidate for governor. was elected
by more than 125. 900 majority and the
entire state Republican ticket was
swept into office, according to latest
unofficial returns from all parts OF
Pennsylvania.
This estimate is based upon the
heavy Republican vote polled in H. la
delphia and Pittsburgh and the sweep
OF the Republican column in such Dem
ocratic stroI. sholds as Lehlgh and Ly-
coming counties.
The entire Republican state ticket
was swept in office. according TO lG,est
returns from all parts OF the state.
The commanding lead of the Re-
publicans indicate the Democratic ma
jority in the house OF representatives
will be greatly reduced. The Republi-
cans will have large majority in both
houses OF the Pennsylvania state legis-
lature.
one thousand two hundred and
eighteen of 1889 election districts in
Philadelphia gave Palmer, 3l.S46; Pin
chot, 43,479; Penrose, 1895; Nc

ed TO the supreme court by a large

d.. Brumbaugh issued the follow
ing statement:
'T am greatly pleased with the
sweeping victory. II reflects the peo-
pies confidence in the principles OF
the Republican party. Personally |
am deeply gratified that the voters
have taken me at my word and ! now
and pledge that made in my platform
and on the stump. I am perfectly sat
isfied with the verdict OF the people"
Trexler for superior court is ahead
OF Clark.
Several independent wards heard
from show the Penrose vote TO be
ahead of that for Taft. while Palmer
and Pinchot are running behind as
compared with the vote for Wilson
and Roosevelt.
