To Be Taken with Allowance.
The election returns as given in detail on
thie page of to-day’s paper is furnished. us
by the American Press Association. It is
eondeunsed and written up by a Republi-
can from Republican sources. and most of
it must be taken with considerable allow-
ance. By next week the truth will be
boiled out of much of the stuff that is now
given the people, and while the victory for
Republicans is complete the result will be
found to be not nearly so one sided or over-
whelming as is now claimed.
McKinley and
Trusts Triomphant.
Four Years More of Republican Control.
This 1s What the People Seem to Want
and What they are Sure to Have.
The Republicans, in addition to re-
electing President McKinley, have
swept the country in the congressional
elections, and will have, during the
next two years, a working majority
in both houses of the national legisla-
ture. aria
The latest returns indicate the elec-
tion of 206 Republicans and 145 Demo-
ocrats to the house of Representatives.
With the new members to be elected
by state legislatures, the senate wil!
stand: Republicans, 48; Democrats, 31.
This is a gain of 17 representatives and
four senators by the Republicans.
' The latest returns show that Mec-
Kinley will have 284 electoral votes.
The figures give Bryan 163 electoral
votes.
McKinley carried all the states he
did in 1896 except Kentucky, and the
following states which were then in
the Democratic column: Kansas, South
Dakota, Utah, Washington and Wy-
cming,
The New England States are solid
for McKinley. The Middle states all
vote for him. The south is probably
unchanged from the vote of 1896. Tt is
in the far west, therefore, that Presi-
dent McKinley has made his greatest
gains.
New York Republicans rolled up a
tremendous majority up the state. Be-
sides giving McKinley a majority of
approximately 150,000 in the state,
they elected Odell and the full Republi-
can state ticket.
Pennsylvania cast its usual tremeti-
dous vote for the national Republican
nominees. The plurality for McKin-
ley and Roosevelt s 287,694. The
Republicans. will have a . big. ma- |
jority in both branches of the legisia-
ture. It looks as if the Quay stalwarts
had won a majority on joint ballof in
the Pennsylvania joint legislature.

parently as follows:

*There is reason to believe that a part

The «vote of the electoral college,
with Nebraska in the Democratic col-
umn, though Republicans claim the
state, will be as follows:
DELAWARE REPUBLICAN.
The Legislature May Now Elect Two
‘Republican Senators. =...
Wilmington, Nov. .8.—The Republi-
cans not only carried the state for Me-
Kinley and Hunn for governor, but al-
80 secured the legislature in both
branches. This means the election of
two Republican United States senators.
The senate will be composed of nine
Republicans and eight Democrats, and
the house will have 19 Republicans
and 15 Democrats, with one tie dis-

prises the Twelfth representative dis-
trict of New Castle county. On joint
ballot the legislature will stand: Re-
publicans, 28; Democrats, 23, not in-
cluding the Red Lion hundred member.
Inasmuch as the Republicans will be
in control of the house of representa-
tives, it is practically certain that
Theodore F. Clark, the Republican
candidate, and who was speaker of the
last house, will be seated. The Republi-
cans will have the organization of the
senate and authority to pass upon the
contest of Howard D. Ross, Republican,
against Francis J. McNulty, Democrat,
Jor senator. PATE IO RR ht A ans
|" ‘Ine Hepublicans elected two sena-
tors and nine of the 15 representatives
in Newcastle county. In Kent county
the Democrats elected two senators,
and each party elected five of the te.
representatives. In Sussex county the:
Democrats elected one senator and the
Republicans the other. The Democrats
elected five and the Republicans five of
the ten representatives.
The general assembly is Republican,
but it was of the same complexion in
1895 and again in 1899, and both times
senatorial deadlocks continued to the
end. History may repeat itself.
MARYLAND FOR M'KINLEY.
The State Elects a Solid Republiean
Delegation to Congress.
Baltimore, Nov. 8.—With scattered
precincts in various counties of the
state to hear from Maryland's plurality
for McKinley and Roosevelt in Tues-
day’s contest was 14,146, with a prob-
ability that the official count will swell
the total to 15,000 or more. Besides
placing Maryland's eight electoral
votes in the McKinley column, a solid
Republican delegation to the Fifty-
seventh congress was elected with
handsome majorities. The members-
elect, with their probable majorities,
folle=:
This means a loss of two congress-
{ men to the Democrats, the Fourth
and First districts having been rep-
resented by Democrats, though Gov-
ernor John Walter Smith, who was
elected in the First, resigned soon af-
terward to become governor of the
' state. His business partner, State
| Senator John P. Moore, was nomi-
nated by the Democrats «0 succeed him,
and his defeat was a source of great
surprise, it being considered that he
was practically sure of election.
Democratic Gains in Massachusetts,
Boston, Nov. 8.—President McKinley
has carried Massachusetts by about
80,000 plurality, a reduction of nearly
100,000 from that of four years agzo.
The Republicans have elected ten of
the 13 congressmen, a few by an in-
creased plurality over 1896, but in the
majority of the districts their candi-
dates ran behind those of four’ years
ago. This leaves the present delegation
politically unchanged. While the total |
vote for governor was somewhat be-
hind that given thé national candidate
in 1896, Crane was re-elected gov-
ernor by a somewhat larger plurality
than that received by President McKin-
ley. The reduction in the Republican
plurality was due not so much to the
falling off in the party vote, but the
return of the so-called Gold Democrats
of 1896 to, the regular Democratic
ranks. The Republican vote showed a
net loss of about 15 per cent. The
senate of 1901 will stand 32 Republi-
cans and 8 Democrats, while the house
will be 178 Republican, 59
and 2 Social Democrats.” °°
Jowa's Congressmen Republican.
Des Moines, Ia., Nov. 8.—It is ap-
parent that Towa is Republican by 100,-
000, and a solid delegation of 11 Re-
publicans will be sent to Washington.
Republican Chairman Weaver says:
“Iowa is McKinley by over 100,000, and
we have elected all the congressmen.”
Democratic. Chairman Ruffman says:
“We concere the state to McKinley by
50,000. We claim the election of Voll-
mer in the: Second congressional ‘dis-
trict.” 2 J
The North Dakota Returns.
Fargo, N. D., Nov. 8.—The Republi-
can plurality in North Dakota will be
10,000 to 12,000. There is no question:
about the election of all the state
ticket and the congressmen-at-large,
and there have been large Republican
legislative gains. In the state judi-
eiary the returns show the election of
» Republican to the supreme bench.
Marion Butler's Senatorial Sncceeasor.
Raleigh, N. C., Nov. 8.—The election
in. North Carolina was very quiet.
Bryan’s majority will be abcut 30,000.
The whole nine Democratic congrese-
men are elected. Democratic State.
Chairman Simmons is elected United
States ‘senator to succeed Marion But-
ler, Populist. by 40,000 over his op-
ponent, Gen. Julian S. Carr. =~ ;
Kentucky Is Still in Dispute. ;
Frankfort, Ky.. Nov. 8.—The Ken-
tucky governorship is still being
capital. The Democrats are claiming
advices showing Beckham's election by
from 4,500 to 6,000, while the Republi-
cans claim the election of Yerkes by
2,600. Independent voters charge that
the Republicans are holding back the
returns in the Eleventh district and
‘that the Democrats have done likewise
in the First, the Republican and Demo-
cratic strongholds, respectively, each
waiting for the other .side to .make a
show ‘down, and this is responsible for
the delay in ascertaining the result.
- The Close Vote of Nebraska.
Omaha, Neb., Nov. 8.—Elections in
Nebraska are so close as to be watched
|.keenly. Chairman Lindsey for the Re-
publicans, claims that McKinley carries
the state by 7,000 or more, the Re-
publican state {@®ket wins by 5,000 to
| 7,000 and that the Republicans have a.
majority of 17 in the legislature.
Against this the Democrats claim
‘|“Bryan has carried the state, though by
a narrow margin of perhaps of not
more than 1,000, and that fusion has a
safe working majority in the legis-
lature, Neville is the only congressman
conceded to Democrats by Republi-
cans. Both parties are claiming the
lead on joint ballot. : Ban
McKinley's Rhode Island Plurality.
Providence, R. I, Nov. 7.—Corrected
unofficial returns from Rhode Island
give McKinley 33,821; Bryan, 19,947;
Maloney, 1,383; Woolley, 1,526, a plu-
rality for McKinley of 13,874 in a total
‘vote of 56,677. His plurality four
ago was 22,978, in. a total vote
of 54,780. He carried every city and
‘town in the state, as he did in 1896.
The vote this year is the largest ever
cast in the state. In Providence Mec-
Kinley received 5,116 plurality, while
the city went Democratic for mayor
‘by 1771 plurality. Bryan gained 5,488
in the state, while McKinley lost 3,615
in the total vote.

The Election of Five Senators in Doub.
Washington, Nov. 8.—The next sen-
ate, assuming that the state legisla-
tures will fulfill their duty and choose
senators to represent their states, will
stand, on the basis of Tuesday’s elec-
tion, 49 Republicans, 27 Democrats and
9 independents, with the legislatures
in doubt in three states, with the priv-
ilege of electing five senators at this
time. The legislatures in doubt are
Delaware and Nebraska, in each of
which states two senators are to be
chosen, and Idaho, with one senatorial
chair to be filled. Among those classed
in the independent column are Sena-
tors Stewart, of Nevada, and Kyle, of
South Dakota, who in the last con-
gress acted with the Republicans on all
party matters; Turner, of Washington,
and Harris, of Kansas, who acted with
the Democrats, and ‘Wellington, of
Maryland. The representation - by
states should be as follows:

‘Senator Clark’s Re-electicn Assured.
Helena, Mont., Nov. 8. —Fuller re-
turns of Tuesday’s voting in this state
confirm the preliminary, estimates sent
out. . Bryan’s plurality will be' from:
15,000 to 18,000, and Governor Toole
leads the Democratic state ticket with
‘from 6,000 to 8,000 votes to spare. The |
legislature, which will elect two Uni- |
ted States senators, is Democratic by
from 15 to 20 votes on joint ballot, and
will undoubtedly re-elect Senator
Clark and some other Democrat or
and fill the vacancy caused by the
resignation of Senator Clark last ses-
' Florida’s Democratic Plurality.
Jacksonville, Fla., Nov. 8,—The nf-
ficial returns from 338 precincts out of
667 in the state show the Democratic
presidential electors received 17,930
votes to the Republican electors’ 6,200.
This will give Bryan a majority of 23,-
000 in the state. Democratic candi-
‘dates for state house offices have ap-
proximately 25,000 majority.
Bryau’s Colorado Plurality.
Denver, Nov. 8.—Returns from the
election are slowly coming in, but suf-
ficient returns and careful ectimates
have been received to show that Bry-
an’s plurality will be from 30,000 to
35,000, and: may. reach 40,000,
Two Republican Counties in Georgia.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 8.—Two counties

state is 40,000. Every Democratic con-
gressman elected.
| Pennsylvania Joined
to Her Idols.
Shows a Republican: Plurality of Almost
300,000.
Philadelphia, Nov. 8.—Late returas
indicate that Pennsylvania gave over
300,000 plurality for the Republican
ticket, exceeding even the record
breaking plurality of 295,072 in 1896.
Of this plurality Philadelphia furnishes
over 125,000 and Allegheny county, in-
cluding Pittsburg, nearly 50,000. Bryan
carried 15 of the 67 counties in the
state. : :
In this city the fusion of the Demo-
crats with the Municipal League cut
down the Republican county majority,
but J. Hampton Moore, for city treas-
urer, and Jacob Singer, for register of
wills, are elected by about 50,000 plu-.
rality. ; fo
The result of former Senator Quay’s
effort to secure control of a sufficient
number of members of the incoming
legislature to insure his return to the
United States senate is as yet in doubt.
There is no disputing the fact that the
attempts of his opponents to defeat
him in certain counties by fusion with
the Democrats are practically a failure.
The ex-Senator’s friends claim the leg-'
islature on a joint ballot. Senator Quay
‘| himself declares his re-election a cer-
tainty. The indications are that he will
have 145 votes in joint ballot, 17 more
than necessary to elect. The anti-Quay
Republicans will probably not muster
over 50 votes of the 256 on joint ballot.
In Montgomery and Chester counties;
where the fusionists made a strong
fight to elect nine anti-Quay members
of the legislature, they suffered a se-
vere setback, the regular Republicans
winning by a large majority.
Indications are that the next Penn-
sylvania delegation in congress will
stand: Republican, 26; Democrats, 4,
as against 20 Republicans and 10 Dem-
ocrats in the present congress.
The following is the Pennsylvania
delegation: At large, Galusha A. Grow,

THE NEW JERSEY PLURALITIES.
The Demoerats Lead in Only Three
: of the Counties.
Trenton, Nov, 8.—The result of the
election in New Jersey is causing wild-
est enthusiasm among Republicans. In
only three counties—Hudson, Hunter-
don and Warren--did the Democrats
succeed in securing a plurality of the
votes, and the total vote shows a plu-
rality of nearly 53,000 for McKinley
and Roosevelt electors. The following
table shows the pluralities by coun-

The Vote in Washington State.
Seattle, Wash., Nov. 8.—The returns
from Washington state are too incom-
plete to form any accurate basis as to
McKinley's plurality. The Democrats
concede that he has carried the state,
and attribute to him but a small ma-
jority. The Republicans claim ‘that his
.plurality’ willbe from 5,000 to 7,000.
Jones and Cushman, Republicans, are
conceded to be re-elected to congress
by pluralities somewhat smaller than
McKinley's. The Democrats are posi-
tive that Governor Rogers, fusionist,
has been elected by 500 to 1,000 votes.
It may require a full count to decide.

STATE-BUCKNELL. — The great annual
foot-ball game at Williamsport last Sat-
urday between The Pennsylvania State
College and Bucknell University elevens
attracted a great many strangers to that
city and about 4,000 people were on the
ground when play begun.
In the first half Bucknell made two
touch-downs, from which goals were kick-
ed, making the score 12 to 0. The first
touch-down was made on a trick play in
which Barret, Bucknell’s left end, ran clear
around State’s left and carried the ball over
the line. The next was accomplished by a
fumbled punt by Hewitt. Matthewson
punted to State’s ten yard line, where
Hewitt failed to handle the ball and a:
Bucknell man secured it and carried it
over. 3
In the second half State went at Buck-
nell aud ripped them to-pieces. A touch-
down was made after four minutes of play
but Martin failed at goal. The ball was
then carried hack to mid-field and kicked
off, State procuring it on her own 20 yard
line. In the first rush Martin wens around
Bucknell’s right end for ‘20 yards and was
pushed out of bounds. Instead of carrying
the ball in the 15 yards, that is customary,
Martin touched it down inside the line and
kicked it down the field. Bucknell was
taken unawares and ‘before State could be
caught the ball was planted on Bucknell’s
5 yard line... The Lewisburgers kicked at
% o play but referee, Mr. Hubley, «f
Lafayette, decided that it was perfectly
legal and ordered the game to proceed.
The Bucknellites refused to play and the
game was given to State by the customary
score of 6 to 0. 3
There were 14 minutes to play yet and
it was evident to everyone that State had
Bucknell so completely out-classed and
demoralized that she could have scored al-
most at will. The crowd hissed the orange
and blue for showing the ‘‘yellow streak,’
but they refused to play, as they knew that
State would never meet them again in
athletics, because they had persisted in
playing the professional Matthewson.
There was never once during the game
that Bucknell could make an impression
on State’s line, while State went through
them at will; breaking their line all to
pieces. She failed, however, in making
her end plays effective because they were
too slow in forming. There wasn't a State
man laid out during the game. Bucknell
called for time after every scrimmage in
order to bolster up some one. State never
questioned a decision of referee on umpire.
Bucknell was continually bickering about
something. = State won the admiration of
the entire crowd. Bucknell lost the re-
spect of her own friends.
There were about 300 people on the spe-
cials that ran from State College and this
place and all got bome without a serious
accident about mid-night Saturday.
——The Bellefonte Academy--Altoona
High seliool. foot-ball teams met on the
gridiron in this place Saturday after-
noon and ended a very rough game
without either side being able to score.
The Academy hoys out played the visitors
at every poiut, but failed in scoring because
of fumbles at critical moments when they
needed but a plunge or two to carry the
ball over the line, Most of: the playing
was on the visitor's territory and they were
forced to kick repeatedly to keep the ball
‘out of danger.

FUL PAINTINGS. —Tissot and his paintings
of the Life of Christ. It was in 1886 that
James Tissot, then filty years of age and at
the height of his fame as a painter of mod-
ern life, turned from the worldly subjects
‘that made him famous and began his se-
rious studies of the gospels. ‘He has said :
“Attracted as I was by the divine figure of
Jesus and by the entrancing scenes of the
‘gospel story, and desiring to present them
as faithfully as I could in their different
aspects, I determined to start for Palestine
and to visit it asa devont pilgrim.” For
ten years thereafter he visited and revisited
Palestine, living several months at a time
there, making paintings and sketches of
every scene connected with “the gospel re-
cords, gathering types of character, making
studies of land and people. In theinter-
vals of these visits he exhausted all sources
of information as to costumes and customs
and as to the details of the life in Palestine
two thousand years ago. Moreover, he
was constantly painting, composing pioc-
tures, making sketches, as a result of
which devoted labor Tissot made over five
hundred pictures, which in themselves
tell the whole story of Christ's life more
fully than it has ever before been presented
in pictorial art. Yo
‘Beyond ‘comparison lfis pictures ‘are one
of the art achievements of the 19th century
and we congratulate our people that the
‘authorized reproduction of them is to be
shown in the court house some evening
this month. Those who have never seen
the pictures shonld not miss this oppor-
tunity of doing so for those who know of
them and have seen the original pictures,
we speak from experience, would and are
anticipating a real treat.
Spring Mills.
Election day. Nothing special, bat the
out-lovk in this section favors a Democratic
triumph in Centre county.
George Mowerey and family of Lewistown,
moved to our village last week. Mr. Mowerey
now wields the baton of authority in the
livery department of the Spring Mills hotel.
Luther Roper, the old Democratic war
horse, was seen in our avenues on Monday
last. He came here from Mifflin county,
where he has charge of a large wheelwright
establishment, to visit his wife and to vote
the straight Democratic ticket.
J. E. Lloyd, the village shoemaker, has
announced himself a candidate for con-
stabulary honors, Mr, Lloyd has always been
an unflinching Democrat and = has many
friends in this locality. His chancesshould be
good. In the meantime he will continue
shoemaking, cobbling and the repairing of
“men’s soles.’ : :
All our merchants report business during
October as having been largely in excess of
same time last year. The volume was greater,
but the profits only slightly improved. 'Com-
mercial agents passing through our village,
report trade on the road only fair. Many
of the merchants having been to ‘the city to
purchase their fall and winter stock, their
orders, if any, of course would be exceeding-
ly light.
The butchering season is not far off. Soon
sausages will adorn almost every table, and
the very ‘air be ladened with the fumes of
grease and pork. Old Shylock might well
exclaim at an invitation to dinner. ‘‘What,
to smell pork, to eat of the habitations which
your prophet, the Nazarite, conjured the devil:
into, no, I will buy, sell and talk to you. but
I will not. eat with you nor pray,” but then
Shylock was a tough old sinner. :
D. H. Schlegel, the master plasterer of
Spring Mills, has more business’ claiming his.
attention than he ean well manage. His
skillful ‘services aré in ‘demand wherever:
there is ‘any building operations. I heard a
‘hod:carrier remark a day or two since, that,
he would sooner carry ‘mud’ for any one:
else than Dan Schlegel. Dan, he said, works
so infernal fast that he had mo breathing’
spell and. could hardly keep his board sup-'
plied. "He seenis to throw the “mud” on by |
shovelfulls, and yet keeps the walls as
smooth and even as a planed board. As a
plasterer Mr. Schlegel has few equals and no-
superior in Centre county. : Fie ish
Hallow e'en was celebrated here by the
boys with unusual recklessness. When fun
degenerates to mere deviltry and the destruc-
tion: of property it becomes a crime. To
tamper with engine boilers, as was done at:
‘the cider press, endangering life and property
is a piece of villainy deserving the severest’
| punishment. ' Damaging wagons and throw-.
ing the broken parts into the creek. Hiding:
teams of travelers causing detention when
their time is valuable. Injuring gates and |
removing them to ont of the way places, isa
| folly tobe condemued and should not be
tolerated for'a moment? If these senseless
and outrageous proceedings are to continue
the sooner we abandon the celebration, the:
better it will be for the community. |...
