Of this assertion, said:
'In November of last year up in
the great state of Pennsylvania
in one Of the districts where two
gentlemen were contesting for the
right to serve the people of that
district in the Pennsylvania state
senate there were some twenty
odd thousand votes polled. In

proximately 10000 votes. They
ran off this tie yesterday. / have
waited now some three hours to-
day to hear an explanation OF the
result from some one on the other
side and for the information of
the returns to be given. In the
race yesterday between these two
candidates who tied a short while
ago for the state senate the demo-
