WINNERS OF PRIZE FLAGS. The Pennaylvanis Counties Giving the Largest Ropublican Majorities in 1880, Harrispure, Nov. 21. — Westmore- land and Potter counties are entitled to the two banners offered by Chairman Andrews, of the Republican state com- mittee, as prizes for the nearest ap- proach at the recent election to the vote cast for Harrison for president last year. In Potter county 92 per cent. of that vote was polled, and in Westmore- land 84 per cent. Allegheny county's Republican vote aggregated only 524 of the Harrison vote, while Philadelphia reached 79 per cent. Pike has the fe est record, 31 per cent. and Lackawanca comes next, with 41 per cent. Lebanon Sropped to 45 per cent., Lancaster 45, Chester 51, Clearfield 51, Clinton 48, Columbia 47 and Erie 51. Many of the counties cast only a little more than half of the vote for Harrison. The average in the entire state was 64.86 per cent. The showing of the Democrats is not much better than that of the Republi- cans. Had they cast 80 per cent, of the Cleveland vote they would have elected their candidate for state treasurer by a good majority. WILL FIGHT THE READING.
