HE STAB MY arm DAY. Pennsylvania's Election Returns May Decide the Control of Congress. BOTH BRANCHES ABE INVOLVED. Vital Importance at BlMllat IIM* Lctrtslatora Who Will Slevt a pnbltonn l'nlt«4 States Senator mfl of Currying Brerr Close Oracrw ■tonal Utatrtot. While her electoral rote Will. ;o< course, be cast for MoKlnl ejr for presi dent, Pennsylvania mar play an import* ant part In deciding the great contest now under way for the control of both branches of aongrees. The reoent poll by the New York Herald oorreepondanta gave the Re publicans but one majority la that* estimates of the probable outcome of the struggle for oontrol of ths seat United States senate. In the contest for the house of representatives The Herald gave the RepuMtsans the lew* er branch of congress by a probable majority of six. On thl9 subject Senator Penrose be* made a very opportune dscdaratlon t» Republicans of tne Keystone stata, PENNSYLVANIA'S POSITION. "Pennsylvania is entMed, under the federal constitution, to two votes la the senate of the United States,* safl. Senator Penrosa "In other word* te a full representation. Many of the most important Issues ever determined in this country in the Vnttad States senate have been lost by a majority ef only ono vote. The Impeachment eC Andrew Johnson failed by ons vote. The tariff bill of IM6 was defeated bf the casting vote of Qeorgs M. Dallas, then vioe president. The oese of Sena tor Quay was determined tn the senate by the majority of ons vote; ths oase of Senator Mantle, a similar in stance of contested crodentlals in the United States senate, and the last precedent ts Senator Quay, would have been decided in favor of the contention that the gov ernor has ths right to make thsse sen atorial appointments ff It had net besa for the misunderstanding regarding two pairs. "The great industries sf Pennsylva nia and our other vast Interests are clearly entitled to two votes te sostala the system of proteotion to Amertoaa Industries, and our sound financial a*- tem and all the great fssuos new de pend upon Republican sucoess. "It does not do to say that the scaats is safely Republican, and after all tbat tt does not matter whether Pennsyfvar nla has a Democratic: senator or any senator at all. Party success Is maintained by such relaxation ot and tTgllance: party suocass Is only retained by tho exhibition of nearlr as much effort as was originally required to obtain the victory. In fact, many important battles hawa been TWO a#tsr being lost and have been lost after be ing won. Wo saw in 1882 how the peo ple deliberately abandoned the Repub lican party when (n the enjoyment of a high tldo of prosperity togo after the false doctrines and promises of Cleve land and the Demooraoy. "The assurance of party success ean only be retained by supporting the Re publloaa organisation In all Its nomi nations, local, oounty, state and nation al. Many well meaning persons even now soy that U safe to vote for Bryan, because oongress will be safety Re publican, and the monutssi system cannot be Interfered with duitag his four years of administration. Thvf would gratify their loeal or feottonal animosities or yield to thetv disagree ments upon minor and even trivial questions of public polley and thereby Imperil great general result* CONGRESS MUST US CARRIED. "They fall to realize how paerlle their assertion Is that It Is safe to trifle either with tho eleotlon of the presi dent, a senator or a congressman. Their views would not seem to require any serious reply if thoy were not so seriously declared. A similar perni cious belief nearly cost the sound money men the control of the house of representatives In tho congressional campalgu of 1&98. Without suoh con trol we oould not have enacted the ex isting financial law but the apathy of the sound monoy Democrats and the desertion of certain RepubUeana nearly cost the Republican party the control of the house of representatives In the congressional campaign of 1808. "In the election of (hat year the Democrats captured 25 congressional districts tu tho state** of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maasachu ;ett* Maryland and West Virginia It was not in ttny way due to the consist ent and organleod and Intelligent ef fort of the American people tbat we still control tho house of represents jttvuj. Wo rutalned tbat control only by gains unexpectedly maflo In Kaneis and other WGateru state* Whan we stop to consider the dreadful calamities (that might huvo ensued With a Demo cratic majority In the house of repre sentatives In the middle of Mr. McKln *cy'a term and a Democratic speaker, •holding an office second only In Its tn iduiMe and importance to tlv» presi dent, ready to obstruct uud defeat all legislation proposed by a Republican admlnlitfatlon, we may well paues be tore any of us yields to apathy or over conSdenoe or prejudice or disagreement upon any minor question, and thereby perhape aaposo our country again to suoh dUfeMroua possibilities We start ed In the present contest fur the house of representative* with the battle lost.
