SWEEPING VICTORY. 168,000 Republican Majority in Pennsylvania. The verdict of the American peo ple at the polls on Tuesday was very largely in favor of the Republican party and its candidates. The hot est contests were in New York and Pennsylvania but right triumphed. The lower branch of Congress is safely Republican. Pennsylvania gives Pennypacker 150,000 to 200,000 of a majority. The legislature is Republican by a large majority. The contest in Cameron county was the most outrageous known in the history of this section of the State and daily develops the most dastardly, high-handed fraud, brib ery and defiance of law, order or decency. The Elk county gang boldly entered ourcounty and open ly boasted that they would buy this county like sheep. Money was openly used by the thousands and every device resorted to carry out their threat. As the result of this outside interference we lost the elec tion of our candidate for Legisla ture by seventy-nine votes. llow long will the people of this county idly sit by and tolerate this outrage to be yearly repeated? The editor of this journal seems to be the ob ject of hatred by this gang of law breakers and it is terrible to know that so many of our citizens should have so far lost their manhood as to walk around with the brand of a dollar mark upon their foreheads. We win stand the outrage if our law abiding and God-fearing people can justify their indifference. We may have something to say to the elec tors upon this subject in the future. A Republican Congress. Over and above all other matters that were at stake in Tuesday's elections was that which involved the control of the next National House of Representa tives. Upon tho control by the Repub licans of that body very much depend ed. The maitenauce of business confi dence was the first of the thiugs involv ed. Business conditions have been right and give promise of continuing BO indefinitely, but a Democratic victory in the Congressional elections would have tended to impair confidence and to prepare the way for a recession of the I tide of prosperity. | The indications are that the Republi l cans will have a majority in the next | House, and this being so the minds of I business men will at once be set at rest as to the conditions they will have to expect in the future, and they will be relieved of all fear of any disturbing | legislation being attempted. A Republican majority in the House also means an indorsement of the policy ! pursued by President Roosevelt, and gives assurance that the legislation nec essary to carry out the plans of the ad ministration to further promote the progress and prosperity of the country will be enacted. For these reasons the country is to l»e congratulated that ; there is to be uo change in the control of the lower branch of the National Legislature, Republican control of the upper branch having been assured in advance of the election.
