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.

Suit to That Corporation.
PirrseurG, Now. 26, —John Costello,
a member of the general executive
board Knights of Laoor. said to a re
rter for The Times: The Callaghan-
'owderly conspiracy suit is a fight
between the Knights of Labor and the
Reading railroad. The latter corpora-
tion has masked itself behind the form
of Callaghan, supporting him with
m and influence.
Believing this, the Knights of Labor
eral assembly just before adjourn-
ing at Atlanta levied an assessment of 5
cents per head on the whole organiza-
tion as a Powderly defense fund. They
say Powderly will be acquitted without
trial and will then inaugurate a vigor-
ous war on the Reading Railroad com-
pany for its violation of the constitution
of Pennsylvania in mining coal contrary
to the section which provides that no
railroad company chartered by the state
shall engage in any other business.
