THE COUNTY.
The result in Cameron county on
Legislature and Congress is not a
surprise to those informed of the
true situation three days in advance
of election. The defeat of Mr.
Moore rests with the men who
placed him before the people and
then betrayed him in a most shame
ful manner. The Insurgents al
most to a man voted for Mr. Blumle.
This, added to the great popularity
of the democratic nominee, and the
wholesale boodle campaign was
more than could be overcome.
Hence Mr. Moore's defeat. Let
the responsibility be placed where
it belongs. The handsome vote
given our National and State ticket
is highly gratifying. Congressman
Sibley was bitterly assailed and in
some quarters terribly betrayed, in
the interest of reform (?) We are
satisfied and proud of the course of
this journal throughout the cam
paign. "NVe have not conducted a
campaign of personal abuse or mud
slinging and highly appreciate the
flattering complements given the
PRESS by honest citizens of both
parties. We are "the same to-day,
yesterday and always."
Now let us have Peace.

Foot Injured.
Contractor W. H. Cramer, while su
perintending the erection of the bridge
across the river at the foot of Broad
street, met with a painful accident last
Saturday afternoon. A large stick of
timber fell upon his left foot, severely
injuring that member. He is able to
be out by the aid of crutches.
Arm Broken.
Mrs. Elizabeth Watts, who is making
her home with her son, Mr. Wm. Sny
der, on Cherry street, met with a pain
ful and serious accident last Tuesday
morning while walking up Fourth
Btreet. When in front of the vacant
lot, owned by the Creighton estate, a '
defective sidewalk caused her to fall
violently, breaking her right arm and
otherwise seriously injuring the aged
lady, who is in her 79th year and quite
feeble. Dr. Bardwell is attending her.
No doubt this will be another bill of
damages for the Borough to pay.

The Ithaca Conservatory of Music
Concert Company is booked for Em
porium Tuesday, December 11th.
The Young People's Society of the
Presbyterian church presented the
drama "Above the Clouds" last Friday
night. All the parts were admirably
taken, and the entire performance was
highly creditable. The audience was
one of the largest of the season and
the profits were of generous propor
tions.
Charles F. Underhill (Impersonator)
will be the next attraction in the Peo
ple's Star Course. He will present the
play of"The Rivals," universally re
garded as his masterpiece. This is the
play made famous by Joseph Jeffer
son, and in the hands of Mr. Underhill,
it is said, the interpretation of the sev
eral characters is highly artistic and
realistic. The chart opens Friday,
November 16th, at 9 a. m.
The opening of the People's Course
with the Aeriel Ladies' Sextette, of
Cincinnati, was, in every way, auspi
cious. The audience was large, repre
sentative and thoroughly appreciative.
The Sextette, in the unanimous ver
dict of the public, is the peer, if not
the superior, of any similar company
of artists that has ever appeared here.
Encore and double encores were de
manded by an audience that seemed
insatiable. In solo and ensemble work
they are equally strong. From the
first to the last number of the strong
and varied program the delight of the
audience was keen and constant. The
readings of Mrs. Marguerite Smith
were given with exceeding simplicity
and naturalness, and left no doubt in
the minds of her auditors of her thor
ough mastery of her art. A return
date is much desired, but the possibil
ity of this is precluded by the fact that
their entire time is taken to the end of
the season.
After the Battle.
The next day came rain but McKin
ley, Roosevelt, Sibley and the entire
State ticket is handsomly elected.
W. T. Young is elected to the Legis

The most gratifying piece of election
news is the defeat of Chisolm, the in

Legislature is good news from Hunt

Hon. F. X. Blumle: Good morning!
May the "little Dutchman" meet the
expectation of his county. The PRESS
congratulates you and wishes you well.
Mr. Moore made a clean, honorable
canvass and made many friends.
While his defeat is something new to
experience it is nothing to bear when
you get used to it. Come around and
we will give you some pointers—we
have been there.

PHILADELPHIA, November 7.
Estimates from every county in Penn
sylvania give McKinley 293,583 plural
ity over Bryan, 1,412 less than the plu
rality in 1896. In Philadelphia McKin
ley's plurality was 125,110, a gain of
11,971 over 1896. Moore, Republican,
for city treasurer, had 38,625 plurality
over Hartranft, Democrat and Munic
ipal League, and Singer, Republican,
for register of wills, had 50,234 plural
ity over Davis, Democrat and Munici
pal League. Following is the vote of
the city for President: McKinley,
182,627; Bryan, 57,517; Woolley, 1,343;
Maloney, 265; Barker, 44; Debs, 1,006.
Philadelphia—Estimates from one
half of the counties in Pennsylvania
indicate a plurality for McKinley of
200,000. Gin this city the fusion of the
Democrats with the Municipal League
cut down the Republican county ma
jority but J. Hampton Moore, for city
treasurer, and Jacob Singer, for regis
ter of wills, are elected by more than
50,000 plurality. In Montgomery and
Chester counties, where the fusionists
made a strong fight to elect nine anti-
Quay members of the Legislature they
suffered a severe set back, the regular
Republicans winning by large major
jorities. Pennsylvania's delegation in
the next Congress will not be less than
24 Republicans to 6 Democrats as
against 20 Republicans and 10 Demo
crats in the present Congress.
M. S. Quay's friends are claiming
they will have a majority on joint bal
lot favorable to his re-election to the
Ignited States Senate and the returns
would appear to bear out this claim.
The control of the State Senate as
between Quay and anti-Quay is in
doubt with chances favoring the Quay
ites, though the complete returns may
give the organization of that body to
the opponents of Mr. Quay.
GOVERNOR STONE ON QUAY'S
VICTORY.
The Triumph was the Will of the
People.
HARRISBUKG, November 7.
Governor Stone said to-night that the
result of the election in Pennsylvania
on the Legislative ticket is, as it ever
had been, a triumph of regularity over
irregularity. The verdict of the people
is that Senator Quay having received
a majority of the votes in both houses
of the last Legislature he should have
been elected by that body and that he
will be elected by the next.
" Thus is settled in a spirited con
test," the Governor continued, "the
right of the majority to rule and I hope
settled forever. It will result in a har
monious unification of all the Republi
cans of Pennsylvania. It is not a com
promise nor a concession, but a com
plete victory for those who upheld the
will of the majority. It is a great vin
dication for Senator Quay. He has
made his fight openly and manfully.
He has met every issue squarely and
the people have given him their ver
dict. Further attempts to defeat his
election are not only futile but foolish.
When the Legislature convenes all who
claim to be Republicans should go into
the caucus and abide by the result.
That caucusl will renominate Senator
Quay and he will be triumphantly
elected.
" The people have spoken and there
is no appeal from their decision. The
House and the Senate will be organized
by those who have upheld the proposi
tion that the majority should rule. The
people have given a vote of confidence
to what is known in the politics of the
State as the organization. It remains
for the organization by wisdom, care,
cause and conservation to justify the
confidence of the people. There should
be no harsh or vindictive desire for
punishment or revenge. The Legisla
ture should perform the duties for
which it will convene,adjourn prompt
ly, and wisdom in legislation and econ
omy in appropriations should prevail."

tually make an entire new stage in our
opera house; all of the stock scenery

chanical effect was never before at
tempted and is said to be alone worth
seeing. The dates are Nov. 12, 13 and
14. Reserved seats, 30c; general ad
