Terms, 82.00 a Year, in Advance. Bellefonte, Pa., Nov. 5, 1897. P. GRAY MEEK, - - EpITOR. No Reason for Us to Crow for Penn- | sylvania ? { Whatever reason the Democracy of the country, generally, may have for rejoicing over the general result of Tuesday’s elec- tion we, of Pennsylvania, have but little | reason to be proud of the work we did or the assistance we gave in winning a victory that assures Democratic success in 1900. Here in a State where every branch of the publie service is honey-combed with rottenness ; where the corruption and profligacy of the party in power is so open and avowed that over a hundred thousand of its own members refuses to vote for its candidates ; where every opportunity was offered for Democratic success, a sufficient number of Democrats, wilfully and inex- cusably remained away from the polls, or idiotically threw their votes away on SwALLOW, to have won a Democratic vic- tory and secured to the people an honest administration of the affairs of the auditor general’s office and of the state treasury. With 182,000 Democratic votes at home and 20,000 more going to the polls and deliberately throwing their votes away, when 125,000 of them by going and voting as they should have done, would have re- deemed this boss-ridden, tax-cursed State, from the rule of the robbers that has so long disgraced it, is not a situation or con- dition for any Democrat to rejoice over or be proud of. And right here at home we can take the lesson of indifference, that is shown by the state returns, to ourselvesand profit by it. With a vote of over 4,500 in the county, less than 2,600 had the interest of the State and the party at heart sufficiently to go out and vote againsta continuation of the corruption that they cry so loudly against. In fact the county, that has been un- unwaveringly Democratic, with the excep- tion of a half a dozen times, since back in the sixties, is by the thoughtlessness, carelessness or indifference of Democrats, put in the position of endorsing the Re- publican candidates with all the enormity of official mal-administiation that they stand for. Surely this is nothing to be proud of, but rather a blistering shame to any Democratic community or Democratic people. The Responsible Party. The 430 Democrats in this county who went to the polls on Tuesday and threw away their votes on the Prohibition can- didate, along with the 2,000 who stayed at home, have the proud satisfaction of know- ing that they have placed Centre county in the position of endorsing the Republi- can state ticket ; the Republican adminis- tration, the profligacy and extravagance of the last Legislature, and all the rottenness and infamy and bossism that disgraced the State under the rule of the party in power. It’s a proud record to have, ain’t it ? Death of Henry George. A magnificent race for New York’s may- orality had a sudden and tragic termina- tion. A great commoner has been stricken in the very heart of the battle. The most startling event in the political history of the country was the sudden and tragic death of HENRY GEORGE, who was making a desperate fight for the mayoralty of Greater New York on what was called the Jeffersonian Democratic ticket. He had been waging for weeks one of the greatest muricipal campaigns of modern times and night after night had been speech making. and directing others ’til his heart and brain refused to act and the end came. Thursday night he addressed three large mass meet- ings and complained of being tired and re- tired shortly after reaching the hotel where he and Mrs. GEOROE have been staying since the campaign opened. About 3:30 o’clock Mrs. GEORGE hearing him get up asked the cause and he answered ‘‘I am not feeling quite comfortable.” and at once she be- came alarmed and called their son who was in an adjoining room. The night clerk sent for Dr. KELLY the family physician but by the time he got there Mr. GEORGE was to- tally unconscious and died shortly after of apoplexy. He was buried Sunday afternoon from the Grand Central Palace 30,000 .people reverently passed the casket and looked upon the face of the dead philosopher. Dr. LyMAN ABBOT conducted the services as- sisted by Rev. Father EDWARD MCGLYN, and Dr. HEBER NEWTON all warm friends of the deceased. SETH Low, Mayor STRONG and many of the prominent citizens of New York city were. present in addition to thousands of admirers who believed in his single tax theory and his fight against bossism. From the palace his remains were carried to his modest home at Fort Hamil- ton from which they were buried in Greenwood on Monday morning. HENRY GEORGE was one of the great men of the day. In many of his ideas he was one hundred years ahead of his generation and at his funeral not a dissenting voice was heard of the declaration that HENRY GEORGE was a lover of the people, who, he believed, were being oppressed, and that he gave his life that humanity might live. He was born in Philadelphia September 2, 1839, where he attended public school ’til he graduated from the High school in 1852. Then he embarked as an office boy in a crockery store, went to sea, learned the printing trade and shipped as a full fledged sailor round Cape Horn to Califor- nia where he worked awhileas a gold miner and then started a weekly paper. In ’61 he married Miss ANNIE C. Fox and their life of mingled poverty and comfort, vicissitudes and achievements hegan. He became an ardent free trader and while on a visit to New York was deeply impressed by the way the poor were imposed apon by the rich. He became editor of the Sacra- mento Recorder in 1870 and from that on his articles on ‘‘Progress and Poverty’, “Our Land and Land Policy’’. ete., were read by thousands. In 1880, he located in New York and continued to write on the Irish land question, ‘‘Protection or Free Trade’’, and single tax ’til he had secured a great band of followers. In 1886, he was defeated for the mayor of New York, by only a few thousand votes by ABRAHAM HEWITT who entered the field for the express purpose of defeating George. In ’96, he supported BRYAN and was nominated for the mayor of Greater New York on Sept. 6th. Parts of the Country. Tammany’s Candidate Wins the New York Mayoralty. The State Also Democratic. The Ohio Contest In Doubt. Maryland, Too, Is Claimed by Both Sides With Democrats Apparently In the Lead—Fusionists Carry Nebraska by an Increased Vote. New York, Nov. 3.—Tammany’s vic- tory in the first municipal election in greater New York is a sweeping one. The only question remaining to be settled is the one of the plurality by which the entire ticket headed by Rob- ert A. Van Wyck has carried the gi- gantic municipality. It can scarcely be less than 60,000, and may be larger than that. Van Wyck has polled a vote which falls possibly 40,000 under the combined votes of General Tracy, Republican, and Seth Low, Citizen's Union. The latter was successful to the extent of polling an aggregate vote in excess of the 40,000 pledges implied by the signatures to the petition upon which at the outset offered to join hands with the Republican party or- ganization in a concerted effort to ex- clude Tammany from power in the greater city to come into being Jan. 1, 1898, with a population the second in magnitude of the great cities of the world. The offer was declined on the ground that in any such movement the Republican organization would par- ticipate only coincidentally with the other party to the compact, and the Citizen’s Union, on the other hand, refused to recall its nomination of Mr. Low in order that the form of select- ing a candidate might be carried out conjointly with the Republican organi- zation. Following is the grand total of the votes received by the three leading ‘candidates for mayor in greater New York, complete returns having wen re- ceived from all of the districts: Van Wyck, 235,181; Low, 149,873; Tracy, 101,- 823. Van Wyck’s plurality over Low, 85,308. The total number of votes cast was not far either way from half a million. The indications are that Van Wyck re- Nana RRS TS IH : HEH | t R. A. VAN WYCK. ceived 210,000, Low 145,000, Tracy 100,000 and George 15,000. The aggregate is swelled’ by a few thousand votes cast for Gleason (independent Democrat), Saniel (Socialist) and Wardell (Pro- hibitionist). On the city ticket, with Judge Van ‘Wyck, Bird 8S. Coler is elected comp- trolicr and Adolph Guggenheimer presi- dent of the municipal council. Charles 8S. Fairchild, who was secretary of the treasury during Cleveland's first presidential term, and whom the Citi- zens’ Union put up for comptroller, did not hold pace with Mr. Low. Ashbel P. Fitch, originally a Republican and afterwards a Democratic member of congress from a Tammany district of this city, was the Republican nominee for comptroller. He is defeated about the same vote as the head of the ticket. He was nominated with Gen- eral Tracy in recognition of the services he rendered in the presidential cam- paign last year, fighting as a gold standard Democrat against the Demo- crats who had accepted the 16 to 1 platform of the Chicago convention. Coler, the successful candidate, is new to public life. 3 Charles” W. Dayton, late postmaster of this city, who was nominated for comptroller on the George ticket, polled probably half as many votes again as were given to Mr. George. ‘The legislative branch of the city government is Tammany-Democratic. It is a double headed body, one branch being the municipal council, consisting of the president and 28 members, and the other, the board of aldermen, com- | prising 60 members. The precise num- ber of Democrats chosen connot be stated at the present writing. There appears to be a strong probability that the Democrats have won a majority of the county and borough offices along with the munivipal places. The vote of Van Wyck in New York county is approximately the same as was cast for Bryan in 1896, which was 135,624. General Tracy polled approxi- mately 50,000, against McKinley’s vote of 156,359 in New York county, while Low (Citizen's Union) polled approxi- mately 77,000, and George (Jef. Dem.) 12,000. In Kings county, which includes the city of Brooklyn, the Bryan vote was 76,882, while VanWyck’s will be almost the same. Against McKinley's vote of 109,135, General Tracy polls approxi- mately 35,000, while Low's vote is ap- aroximately 65,000. In these two counties the straight Re- publican vote shows a falling off of nearly 175,000, or in excess of the total vote of Seth Low, while the Tammany vote equals if it doesn’t slightly ex- ceed, that cast for Bryan. The polling came within about 60,000 of the entire registration, which, con- sidering the weather conditions under which the election proceeded, was all that could be expected. The day was wet, foggy, “muggy” to a degree. It was such a day as, in the years gone by, when the voters lined up in the streets to await their chance to cast their ballots to the judges inside, was called “gold Democratic weather.” Un- der the altered conditions, the voting being done within doors, this character- ization cannot well apnlv. 2h OFFICI AL RETURNS OF CENTRE FOR 1897.

It was only in the outlying sections that the exercise of the right of franchise was attended with any inconvenience. And at night the whole city was alive to the occasion. Bulletin boards, search lights, newspaper ex- tras, readers on the stages of scores of theaters, told the story of the elec- tion. The jubilant had recourse to the diseordant fish horns for. expression of their joy, while the saloons, closed during the hours while the voting was in progress, did business on a scale period of enforced thirst, noisy and brilliantly illuminated. The enthusi- asm in the vicinity of Tammany Hall was particularly great. : Van Wyck is shown to have polled as large a vote as both Tracy and Low combined, while the George vote, which a week ago was regarded with more or less apprehension and was expected to be anywhere from 65,000 to 100,000, has fallen to almost infinitesimal propor- tions. It is estimated, upon the basis | of the ballots already counted, that Van Wyck’s total vote will be from 146,000 to 148,000 in Manhattan and the Bronx, 73,000 in the borough of Brook- lyn, 8,500 in Queens and 1,900 in Rich- mond, or approximately 231,000 votes in greater New York. Low's vote will not be far from 152,000, Tracy's 100,000 and George’s 16,000 The total, 499,000] will not be materially altered either ! way. Gleason’s vote and that of the Socialist and Prohibition nominee for the mayoralty will send the grand to- tal alsove the half million mark. Rain, which prevailed generally all over the state, had the effect of keeping a great many of the country voters away from the polls. The result is ap- parent in the reduced majorities given in concededly Republican districts to Willlam J. Wallace, the Republican nominee for chief judge of the court of appeals, as compared with the plurali- ties by which the same districts were carried last year. In many districts the pluralities of a year ago are re- duced nearly one-half and in a few that than 26 per cent. Conceding to Judge Parker, Democrat, a majority of 100,000 in greater New York, it is probable that he has won in the state. The indications are that the Demo- crats have a small majority of the members of the state assembly. In the greater city it is estimated from very meagre returns the representation will be 51 Democrats and 10 Republicans, while in the upper part of the state there are said to have been changes from Republicans to Democrats in 20 districts. In the last assembly the Re-: publicans had a majority of 78. Con- ceding all that is claimed by the Demo- crats, the next house will have 10 Dem- ocratic majority. State senators were not elected this year. Other estimates give a Republican majority in the as- sembly of three. In the cities of Buffalo, Rochester, Oswego and Binghamton the Democrats elected mayors and the majority of the councils by good majorities. IN THE OLD BAY STATE. Boston Goes Republican for the Sec- ond Time in Two Years. . Boston, Nov. 3.—At the elections yes- terday the Republicans swept the state by a substantial majority, electing their entire ticket as well as three- quarters of the members of both branches of the legislature. The apathy which marked the entire cam- paign extended to the election, although the stormy weather which prevailed all day probably accounted for a consider- able portion of the decrease in the vote. The tremendous majority which last year elected Governor Wolcott fell off considerably, while George Fred Will- fered, but not nearly as muth. Last year the Republicans, after a vigorous campaign on nat 1 issues, rolled up a vote of 258,000, but such waa the lack of interest this year that the vote fell to 164,000, a plurality of 85,000 over Williams. The Democrats, pursu- ing a more vigorous course, received 79,000 votes, as compared with 103,000 last year, while the National Demo- crats not only came within 100 of their vote of 14,164 last year, but actually made a gain of 2 per cent. in ratio to the vote of the state, and obtaining more than the necessary 3 per cent. will continue to hold a place on the state ticket. For the second time in two years this city, ordinarily strongly Democratic, gave a’ substantial majority to Roger ‘Wolcott. wT a, THE RESULT IN OHIO IS DOUBTFUL. Senator Hanna Declares That the Legislature Has a Republican Ma- jority, and This, If True, Will Re= sult in His Re-Election to the Senate Columbus, O., Nov. 3.—The resuit in Ohio is so close that it may require the official count to determine the result, especially on the political complexion of the legislature. The Republicans and the Democrats are both claiming the state and the legislature with such per- sistence that it will require the official count at least to get one or the other to concede defeat. Incomplete returns indicate the election of the Republican state ticket by 10,000 to 12,000, but the result on the legislature is so close that no definite figures can be given out now. The Democrats claim confidently a majority in both branches of the leg- islature, but give no figures on the number of representatives and sena- tors. The Republicans claim 54 repre- sentatives and 17 senators sure or 71 votes on joint ballot, 73 being necessary | to elect a senator. They also claim all the 12 representatives whose counties have not been definitely heard from and all of which are in the doubtful list. Out of the five state senators yet to hear from the Republicans claim three, so that the result on the legislature cannot he determined until all the doubtful counties and districts are heard from. Both sides are watching the count very carefully, especially on the legislative candidates that are .n doubt. The change from the result of last vear shows that the Democrats have gained in all of the cities largely ex- cept in Cleveland. The gains in Cin- | cinnati and Columbus were very large. | The Republicans gained in the rural districts, but most of the changes were due to the stay at home vote in the rural districts, which was fully 15 per cent. A telegram from Cleveland announces ' that at 1 o'clock this morning Senator Hanna claimed a majority of the legis- lature on joint ballot. Of the result he said: “I am not surprised that the re- sult of the election has been a victory for the Republican party. I have con- fidently predicted from the outset that the people of Ohio would by their votes stamp their approval of the national administration.” Tom Johnson on the Ohio Result, . New York, Nov. 2.—Former Congress- man Tom L. Johnson, of Ohio, said to- . day: “As to the result in Ohio my! opinion is that it defeats McLean. At least 25 Democrats elected to the legis- lature will be against him, regardless of the caucus. They have been pledged to vote against him, and that defeats him. As to what brought about the re- sult, it is a swing of the pendulum back to Democratic victory. It has been a good deal accelerated by Foraker’s op- position to Hanna. But for the fact that the Democrats did not understand that a Democratic legislature would not elect McLean, the Democratic ma- jority would be much larger, so that what we have lost by dread of Mec- Lean’s possible election we have gained by the disaffection among the Republi- cans due to Foraker’s bitter opposition to Hanna.” Virginia Democratic by 60.000. Richmond, Nov. 3.—The election story in Virginia is briefly told. Although there was unusual apathy, it is esti- mated that the Democratic state ticket is elected by about 55,000 or 60,000 ma- jority, and that the Democrats have two-thirds of the house of delegates and four-fifths of the senate. Barring one little episode in Berkley, near Nor- folk, growing out of a Democratic fac- tional fight, there was absolutely no excitement. Neither party polled any- thing like a full vote. The re-election of John W. Daniel to the national sen- ate is assured. KENTUCKY SILVERITES WIN. The Gold Democratic Vote in the State Very Light. Louisville, Ky., Nov. 3.—A conserva- tive estimate places the majority of Charles P. Weaver, Democrat, for mayor over George D. Todd, the present incumbent, at from 3,000 to 3,500. The entire Democratic ticket is undoubtedly elected with him. There is no doubt about the constitutional amendment carrying in Louisville. Returns from the state are meager and unofficial at this hour. These show that Shackford, Silver-Democratie nominee for clerk of the court of ap- peals, is leading Bailey, Republican. The National Democratic vote was very light. Trustworthy figures will be late. A PENNSYLVANIA SURPRISE, Prohibition Candidate Gets 125,000 Votes and Carries Nine Counties. Philadelphia, Nov.. 3.—~Returns from one-half the wards of this city indi- cate the election of Colonel Clayton McMichael (Rep.) for city treasurer and Horatio B. Hackett (Rep.) for register of wills by majorities approximating 75,000. Judges Bregy, Wiltbank, Auden- ried and Ferguson were unanimously re-elected, they having been endorsed by both parties. The proposition to increase the indebtedness of the city $12,200,000 for public improvements has been carried by about 20,000. Under the provisions of the constitution the city’s debt could not be further increased except by the approving vote of the people. The vote is about 30 per cent under that of last year and will not quite equal the “off year” vote of 1895. - Chairman John M. Garman, of the state Democratic committee, was in- terviewed in Harrisburg last night. He said: “The returns from Pennsylvania show that the Republican party and its management have been severely re- buked by the people, notwithstanding the small vote. Dr. Swallow has re- ceived a highly complimentary vote in many localities. Though many Demo- crats voiced their protest by voting for Swallow instead of their own ticket, yet the gains shown by Brown and Ritter indicate that the people are not averse to sustaining the Democratic | party when the candidates are clean and honest. This election indicates that in 1898 the congressional and guberna- | torial elections will probably be favor- able to the Democrats.” Returns from the state indicate that Dr. S. C. Swallow, Prohibition candi- date for state treasurer, known in poli- tics as ‘‘the fighting parson,” has rec- ceived more than 125,000 votes. In the counties of Blair, Clinton, Cumber- land, Dauphin, Huntingdon, Lycoming, Juniata, Montour and Northumberland the returns indicate that Swallow de- feated Beacom, the regular Republican candidate. In 1895 the Prohibition vote in the state was 20,779 and last year it was 19,274. The result in Dauphin county caused a jubilation by the friends of Dr. Swal- low in Harrisburg. The doctor’s friends did not anticipate such a result, and paraded the streets with a band. In that county the Republicans carried everything but state treasurer. The incomplete figures show an ap- parent plurality for Beacom, the head of the’ Republican ticket, of 145,000, as against Haywood’s . plurality of 174,- 264 in 1895. The indications are that Mc- Cauley, the Republican candidate for auditor general, received about 170,- 000 plurality. : The vote throughout the state shows that General McCauley, the candidate for auditor general, ran several thou- sand ahead of Beacom, the Republi- ean’ candidate for state treasurer. THE RESULT IN NEW JERSEY. . Twenty-four Assemblymen and Four Senators Added to the Party Vote. ' Trenton, Nov. 3.—The vote in New Jersey yesterday was light. The Demo- crats made gains in almost every coun- ty and the Republicans retain control of the state house of assembly by a narrow majority. Last year there were but four Democrats in the lower house. This year there will be 26. The Repub- licans will have 34 members. The Dem- ocrats also made gains in the senate and instead of three members out of 21 will have seven out of that number. Four of the five Republicans retiring from the senate were succeeded by Democrats. ™ Democrats Win in Detroit. Detroit, Nov. 3.—Yesterday’'s munici- pal election resulted in a decisive vic~ tory for the head of the Democratic ticket, Mayor Maybury. The official returns, with but three precincts lack= ing, give Maybury 2,100 plurality over Black, Republican. William B. Thomp-~ son, Democrat, is elected treasurer over Grunow, Republican, by something like 4,000. Rober: W. Webb, Democrat, is also elected a justice of the peace. The Republicans elect John A. Schmid city clerk by something over 20,000, and also elect Felix A. Lemkie as justice and five estimators-at-large. The Demo- crats gain two aldermen, and the new council will stand 21 Republicans to 13 Democrats. Mayor Maybury’'s..ma- jority exceeds what he received in the special election for mayor last spring by 1,600. GORMAN PROBABLY DEFEATED IN ° .. MARYLAND. ' From Present Indications the Senfor Maryland Senator May Be Re- Elected by Three Majority, But the Republicans Deny the Accuracy of the Figures Reported. Baltimore, Nov. 3.—The Republicans have elected their municipal ticket in Baltimore by majorities ranging from 4,000 to 6,000, but the state ticket is in doubt, and there is some reason for be- lieving that the Democrats have carried the legislature and that United States Senator Gorman may succeed himself. Official returns from the state are of the most meager and unsatisfactory character, so that even the chairman of the state central committee hesitates to express an unqualified opinion as to the state and legislative tickets A con- servative estimate, based upon partial returns, indicate that the Democrats will have 60 votes on joint ballot, while the Republicans will have 57. The list of delegates and senators elected yes- terday by each ‘party will probably be as follows: : Republican—Allegany, 6; Anne Arun- del, 4; Baltimore city, 19; Charles, 3; Frederick, 5; Garrett, 3; Harford, 1; Prince George’s, 4; Somerset, 3. Total, 48. p : Democratic—Baltimore county, 6; Calvert, 3; Caroline, 3;. Carroll, 4; Cecil, 4; Dorchester, 4; Harford, 4; Howard, 2; Kent, 2; Montgomery, 4; Queen Anne, 3; St. Mary's, 3; Talbot, 4; Wico- mico, 3; Washington, 4; Worcester, 4. Total, 57. : There are 12 “hold over” senators, of whom 9 are Republicans and 3 Demo- crats, as follows: Republicans—Dryden of Somerset, Westcott of Kent, Emory of Baltimore county, Dobler and Strobridge of Bal- timore city, Randall of Anne Arundel, Day of Howard, Norwood of Frederick and Scott of Washington. The Democratic ‘hold overs” are Jackson of Wicomico, Finley of Queen Anne and Hering of Carroll. When these are added to the list of those chosen yesterday the totals will be: Republicans, 57; Democrats, 60. Light Vote in Rhode Island. Providence, R. I.,, Nov. 3.—A light vote was polled in the five Rhode Island cities. Indications point to the election of the Democratic candidates for mayor in Providence, Newport and Central Falls. Woonsocket and Pawtucket are probably Republican. The Republicans retain control of the city councils in the five cities. The Result in Colorado.

Together with the magnifi- cent victory for the state ticket we have carried a majority of the county tickets.
