The Vote la This State.
Tho vote for Stewart in Pennsylvania
is unexpectedly small, being placed at
fifty thousand instead of double that
number. The only explanation offered
is that a great many Republicans voted
directly for Pattison with the determi
nation to make their vote as potent as
possible in defeating Beaver. But the
explanation lacks evidence to support it.
No doubt Pattison received a number of
Republican votes, but the figures do not
show the number to be very great.
Adding Stewart's and Beaver's
votes together, the total expresses
nearly the full vote that would
have been reasonably been expect
ed for the Republican ticket, especially
at this time when the tide was clearly
running in favor of tho oppositions to the
Republican party, of whose rule the peo
ple had become tired. They wanted a
change; and the Democratic ticket
would have received a great many more
Republican votes, if Stewart had not
been nominated to receive the support
of dissatisfied Republicans, than it did
with Stewart in the field to catch them.
In times of political discontent tho op
position party is, of course, strengthen
ed by votes from the majority party. In
New York, whore there was but one Re
publican ticket, the change to the De
mocracy has been much more marked
than it has been in Pennsylvania. Even
aiding the whole of Stewart's vote to
Pattison's, no such notable increase of
the Democratic majority would have
been expected here as has been shown
in New York, where our majority has
now risen to the astonishing figure of
one hundred and seventy-seven thou
sand. Stewart's fifty thousand votes
added to Pattison's thirty-six thousand
plurality, would have produced a total
majority for Pattison or nearly a hun
dred thousand less than that of Cleve
land. Wo do not mean to say that if Stewart
had not been in the field all o f his votes
would have gouo to Pattison, but it is
reasonable to believe that the larger part
of them would. Pennsylvania does not
seem to have a people so easily moved
from their ancient political moorings as
those of New York and other states.
Such a wholesale desertion of party as.
lias occurred in New York could not bo
expected of our voters. Here in Lan
caster couuty,and across our line inBerk?,
the Republican and Democratic parties
for a time out of mind clung to the mass
of their voters and a tenacity which
shows no sign of weakening. Before
these counties become politically revolu
tionized a great change will have to take
place in the character and education of
their citizens. New York i3 greatly in
fluenced politically by metropolitan cities
lying down in the southern neck of
her territory, which have a population
of mobile political sentiment ; but they
contributed less than half to the ma
jority of Cleveland and left a hundred
thousand of it to come from the state
outside. Notable changes took place in
the rural comities ; some, which are
accustomed to give Republican majori
ties nearly as still as those of Lancaster,
have swerved over to the other side.
The country districts of Pennsylvania
do not seem to differ greatly in their
political minority from the metropolitan
city of the state, for Philadelphia docs
not show in its vote any great move
ment from the political tide that has
swept over tho country, notwithstand
ing that tide has had the effort of the
inllueutial Independent Committee of
One Hundred, well supplied with money
and agents, to help it along. Stewart's
candidacy had the sympathy of this
committee, although it is especially de
voted to the work of municipal reform ;
and yet Stewart polled his eight thousand
votes in the city and Beaver lias a
plurality of thirty-six hundred.
Manifestly Pennsylvania is not as easily
moved politicallyas her neighboring slate
of New York ; and yet the element that
is movable is very determined in its iu
deiicndence, as has been shown by the
open revoltof the dissatisfied Republicans
against the regularly nominated ticket
of their party. It is certainly fair to
conclude that most of these discontent
ed Republicans would have been carried,
by their opposition to their party man
agement, into voting for Pattison if
Stewart had not been nominated. We
are satisfied that if Beaver and Pattison
had been left to dispute between the
vote of the state, Pattison would have
been elected by a majority as largo if
not larger than his present plurality
So that the Stewart movement cannot
be credited with any part of his vote.
What Republican votes he received he
would have received without it, and a
great manvmore in addition.
The CHAiKMAXof the stale commit
tee pays only a deserved tribute to the
Democratic women of the state when he
says :
" My greatest pleasure of this victory
next to the patriotic satisfaction of iep!ac
ing bad government with honostrulo is in
thu satisfaction it affords to tho hundreds
of thousands of Democrats who have been
steadfast in the adherence to the party
through the days of its adversity and
trial Tliey arc the political salt of the
common wealth. They have kept the faith
and saved tho ark. But noun the less
grateful is this victory to the Democratic
women of tho state. Their abiding faith
and lovalty at last finds recompense "
Yesterday when Chairman Cooper
thought his party had carried the lower
House of the Legislature he indulged in
this prospect or threat :
" Tho reapportionment of tbo state will
be made far more rigid by a small ma
jority than by a largo ono. Ttio Republi
can majority in tho Legislature trill see to
it that snch a reapportionment is mado as
will fully protect thorn for ten years to
come."
Tho Democratic majority in the Leg
islature will " seo to it " that there is
an "honest, just and true apportion
ment" made. More than this it will
not ask ; less than thh it will not take.
The Democracy will have a ma
jority of about fifty in the next Congress,
wl-ich will be an ample working majority
and not too large to prevent the necessity
of Democratic unity.
Cdaibmax W. U. Hessel indulges
in this prospect for his party :
" I sincerely trust that, if we have ob
tained control of Congress and the state
Legislature, as seems almost certain, tho
first concern of the members will not bo
to find places for party workers, bat to
see how many existing useless places can
be abolished and unearned salaries abated.
Beyond this I am not worried over the
future. If the party does what is right,
results will take care of themselves to its
abiding welfare."

Bark, in the Dauphin congressional
district,is now reported to have a major
ity of less than two hundred over Mc-
Cormick. It is a pity that the defection
of the good men in the Republican party
in the district was not a little stronger,
so as to have sent a good representative
to Congress instead of a bad one.

PATTISON'S SWEEP.
DKTAIL. RBTUKX3 FKUM THE COUNTIES
Nearly all sections Heard Front The Con
gressmen Elected, With the Majorities
of l-Iacli A Working Democratic
Majority In the Legislature.
The returns received from the tho inter
ior counties serve to make the table of
majorities by counties for governor rea
sonably complete. Pattison's pluiality by
the latest reports is 30,333. It is shown by
the returns that the successful candidates
have run very close together, although
each has been complimented with a large
home vote. The congressional delegation
has settled dowh to 10 Republicans and 12
Democrats. The Democrats have secured
a majority of about "0 in the lower House
of the Legislature, and will have 22 ma
jority on joint ballot.
The reports have como in such shape
giving merely pluralities in all but few in
stances that it is impossible to give any
thing like a detailed statement of tho vote
for Stewart. It is apparent, however,
that it will be much below most of the
estimates and may not reach 50,000.

llailcy Times.
Two cowboys who just camo in from
Camas prairie rclato an exporienoo which
will probably go a groat way toward ro
cstablisbing tbo popular faith in tho wild
man's tradition. On tho first day of this
month two cowboys seat chins cat
tie lost in tho storm, passod over somo
lava crass and wero startled by suddenly
seeing before them tho form so often
described to them. Thoy wero so torri
ficd that thoy sat upon their horses, look,
ing at it in dread. Mustering courage and
drawing their revolvers they dismounted
and gavo chase, but the strange being
skipped from crag to crag as nimbly aa a
mountain goat. After au hour's pursuit
both young men wero so completely worn
out that tbey both laid down, seeing
which tho wild man gradually approached
thorn and stopped on tho opposito sido of
a gorgo in tho lava, from which point bo
regarded tho cowboys intently.
The wild man was considerably over six
fost in height, with great muscular arm?,
which reached to his knce3. Tho muscles
stood out in great knots and his chest was
as broad as that of a bear. Skins were
twisted about his feet and ankles and a
wolf skin about his waist. All parts of his
boily to bo seon woro covered by long,
black hair, while from his bead the hair
(lowed over his shoulders in coarso tangled
rolls and mixed with a boavy beard. His
faco was dark and swarthy and his eyes
shono brightly, whilo two tusks protruded
from bis mouth. His Angers woro tho
shapo of claws, with long, sharp nails, and
he acted very much as a wild animal
urliioli is uu.iccustomadto sneincr a ma:i
Tho boys mado all kind3 of noises, at the
sound of which ho twisted his hoad from ,
side to sido and moaned apparently ho
nmihl not fivn them ftuv "hlaek talk :" ko.
wearying of eyeing him, tho two boys fired
their rcvolvcis, whereupon tho wild man
turned a double somersault and jumped 15
feet to a low bench and disappcarcd.growl
ing terribly as bo wont.
It is supposed that this is tho samo ap
parition that has so often been seen before.
Tho man, no doubt, doos as tho Indians
did for subsistence, and livos ou Camas
roots, which grow wild by acres, aud ho
no doubt kills young stock, as many year

and nothing but skeletons of them aro
over found.

aew York Gives a Democratic Majority of
ovr 100.000 Thirteen States Elect
Democratic Governors Enormous
Gains in Congress.
The pemocratic victory on Tuesday is
even more complete than was announced
Wednesday. The opponents of the Re
publican party have chosen their candi
dates for governor in 13 of tho states, and
have mado great gains in nearly all of tho
33 states which held elections on the 7th
of November.
In tbe Forty-eighth Congress tbe Demo
crats will control the House of Represen
tatives by a majority of 71, tho figures
being : Republicans, 127 ; Democrats, 198.
They have solid delegations from Alabama
Arkansas, Florida, Georgia acd Tesas,
and have secured representatives in Iowa
and Michigan, which have un
broken Republican delegations in
tho Forty-seventh Congress. By
tbo apportionment of congressmen Cali
fornia's representation was increased from
4 to G, and the Democrats have elected 5,
a loss of one to the Republicans and a gain
of threo for tho Domocrats. In Illinois
tho Democrats gain three mombers. The
Democrats bavo moro than reversed tho
figures in Indiana, for whilo tho Repub
licans have now S out of 13 mombers,
tho Democrats have elected 9 out of tho
13 in the next House. Tho Repuhlicau re
verse iu Michigan is complete. Instead of
a solid delegation of Republicans the state
elects G Democrats to live Republicans.
While tho New Jersey delegation stauds 4
Republicans to 3 Democrats, the Demo
crats gain Robeson's (first) aud tho Essex
(Sixth) distiicts, and the Republicans gain
tbe Third and Fourth, tho districts now
represented by Miles Ross and Henry S.
Harris. A loss of C Republican represen
tatives is encountered iu Pennsylvania
whero the Democrats elect 14 out of 23
members. Tho Democrats gain 3 mem
bers iu Wiscousin, whero they elect .1 oat
of the nine representatives chosen.
Revised returns from tho comities of
New York stato increase the majority for
Cleveland for governor to more than 190.
000. Tho dispatches show that Judgo
Andrews, tho Republican candidate lor
chief justice of tho court of appeals, and
Howard Carroll, for congressman-at-largo,
run many thousand votes ahead cf
tho candidate for governor. From very
meagre returns it would appear that the
freo canal amendment has been adopted
No reports have been mado regarding -tho
judiciary amendment. Tho stato will bo
represented in tho next Congress by 21
Democrats and 13 Republicans a Demo
cratic gain of 3. The state Assembly will
consist of S Democrats and 43 Republi
cans, thus giving the Democrats a ma
jority of 42 in the lower House. Tho Sen
ate stands 17 Domocrats to 13 Republi
cans. The majority for Halo (Rep.) for gov
ernor of New Hampshire is estimated at
GOO. Both Republican congressmen are
elected. There is a largo Republican ma
jority in the Legislature on joint ballot.
Massachusetts gives Gen. Butler a
plurality one small town to hear from
of 13,000, but elects Republicans to tho
ether places ou tho state ticket. Nino
Republican congressman aro elected,
with one Democrat, one Democrat and In .
dependent, and one Democrat aud Green
backer. T hero aro Republican losses in
tho Legislature, but not enough to dis
turb the majority.
Tho Republicans iu Connecticut iiavo
saved nothing from tho wreck oi the stato
ticket except tho controller, who was sup
ported by the German Anti-Prohibitionists,
the Grand Array, anil the friends of
mutual aid societies.
Iu Delaware tho Democratic candidate
for governor has received a majority of
1,533.
Tho Republicans havo gained in Mary
land one congressman and threo judges.
This result is attributed mainly to thu
new registration law. The congressional
delegation will consist of four Democrats
and two Republicans. Tho average ma
jority for the Independent judicial ticket
was 11,003.
Fivo congicssioual districts iu Virginia
aro conceded to the Coalitionists and fivo
to tho Domocrats. Johu D. Wise is elec
ted congressman- at-large. Tho Democrats
intend to contest somo scats, especially iu
closo districts, on charges of fraud in tho
use of money.
In North Carolina the Republicans elect
two congressmen, tho Democrats four, aud
two districts aro iu doubt.
South Carolina has elected the Demo
cratic stato ticket and Legislature Tho
majority in tho former is estimated at
50,000. Six Democratic congressmen and
ono Republican, Mackey, are elected.
From Florida, only meagre returns havo
been leceived aud add nothing to former
dispatches, which iudicato a sweeping
Democratic majority.
Georgia Democrats elect all their ten
congressmen, with no opposition iu four
districts. Tho vote was very light, except
in two districts. Tho Democratic majority
for congressman at largo is estimated at
from 00,000 to 80,000.
All tho eight congressmen from Ala
bama are Democrats, except, po?sihly, Mr,
Herbert, and ho is claimed by that party.
' Mississippi not more than one-haU or
two-thirds ol" tho usual vote was cast. Tho
Democrats claim four congressmen, tho
Republicans three, including Chalmers.

gressmen. The only Republican is Kel
logg, in the third district.

tho First district.
The Kentucky Republicans claim four
congressmen but tho Democrats allow
thorn only one.
In Illinois tho Republicans will bavo a
small majority in tho Legislature. Twelve
Republican and eight Democratic con
gressmen aie claimed.
Tho Indiana Democrats claim a innjor
ty of 10,000, will a Democratic Legisla
ture. Tho Minnesota Legislature is Republi
can by a reduced majority Tho Ropub
cans claim five congressmen.
Reports from Iowa state that ono Demo
cratic congressman has been elected, and
tho vote is so closo in another district I hat
the official count can only decide what tho
result is. Tho other nine districts will bo
represented by Republicans. Tho Repub
lican stato ticket has a majority of be
tween 25,000 and 30,000.
Tho Wisconsin Domocrats claim 5 of

THE NEW GOVERNOR
Mli. FATTISOn'S HK.RT KECEPTION.
Governor Pattison's Reason for the Ureat
Democratic Victory In this Stnte
What the Business Men Say.
Governor-elect Pattison held his first re
ception Wednesday. It was au impromptu
affair, the comers invited themselves, and
the brightly furnished apartments of tho
controller's office served as tho executive
blue loom. Mr. Pattison's demeanor dur
ing tho long siege of hand shaking was
quite iu accord with his hasty retreat by
a back stairway when the Americus club
serenaded him at the Irving house Tues
day night. Whilo his friends wero ex.
ubcrant and oftentimes demonstrative iu
their expressions concerning tbo result,
tho youthful controller received the shower
of compliment and congratulation with
characteristic modesty. An occasional
smile and a twinklo of his black, snapping
eyes wero tho only index of his
satisfaction. Telegrams came pouring in
early in tho morning from all parts of tho
stato and from other states, all in tho
most jubilant vein, John G. Thompson,
Ohio's Democratic chairman, whose
" claim with confidence " proved for onco
to have be.en not misplaced, wired : " Con
gratulations upon your splendid victory.
Bossism has met a Waterloo and tho
people rejoici." The Central Democratic
club of Harrisburg, sent a message brim
ming with rejoicing aud tendering tho
now governor au escort at his inaugura
tion. In tho afternoon Mr. Pattison was in
consultation for nearly an hour with Lewis
C. Cassidy and John It. Read. Later Cam
paign Chairman John Field and Rudolph
Blankcnberg came iu to extend congratu
lations, Mr. Field, jocularly putting in an
application for the prosp?etivo vacancy in
tho coutrollership. .Mr. iilankcnburg was
moro modest iu his aspirations, and prom
ised to bz content with au appointment to
the governor's staff. A by-stand er, with
thoughts of 18S4,askcd Mr. P.ittisor.'sage.
'Thirty-two next .December," answered
tho latter promptly ; whereupon there was
a dubious shaking of heads, and an arith
metical calculation quickly demonstrated
that tho new governor would be barred out
of tho next presidential race. Thero was
speculation during tho day about forth
coming cxccutivo appointments, but Mr.
Pattison gavo no hint on this point. Sen
ator James Gay Gordon was congratulated
by many friends as tho successor of Ex
Secretary Quay, but protested that the
Senate had a claim on him for two years
moro.
" It wa3 au uprising of tho people for a
people's government, and means tho over
throw ot bos3ruIo," was 3Ir. Pattison s
terse commentary ou his election.
" Was not tho result largely owing to
tbo Independent Republican voto thrown
to tho support of tho Democratic ticket ?"
was asked.
4 'Undoubtedly. The people havo
shown thoir contidence that tho Demo
cratic party will carry out thoir desire for
reform by placing it in power. Just as
tho party is faithful to this trust and ful
fills tho expectations of tho people, will it
maintain its ascendancy. If it shows
itself worthy of popular confidence, it will
succeed ; if it don't itwill fail."
" How far may tho result be taken as an
index of 1884?"
" The result in 188 1 can ouly bo deter
mined by the future. If tho Democratic
party uses wisely tho power given it, there
is every reason to look for a repetition of
this victory in 1881?"
Mr. Pattison is as yet undecided as to
tho relinquishment of tho controllership
replying to a question on this point that
two months yet remained before it wonld
bo necessary for him tostopotu. It is
probable that his resignation will corno
just beforo inauguration day, and Chat tho
governor-elect will apoiut his own suc
cessor. How It Will Att'ect JJilainiMS.
Ci I cannot sco why tho Democratic gains
in Tuesday's elections should have any
cficct upon business generally," said S. B.
Brown, of tho firm of Hood, Houbright
& Co. " People have got to buy warm
clothing in winter and light garments in
summer whether tho Republicans or tho
Democrats aro in power. I havo always
voted tho Republican ticket, but I must
say that tho party havo abused tho power
placed in their hands aud hero wo are face
to faco with the natural result."
A. C. Sinn, a member of tho same firm,
said: " If we ara beaten this time I havo
no fears as to tho future of trade. I am
inclined to agreo with Governor-elact Pat
tison that this has bcon a people's not a
party victory."
Joseph Tomlinson, of tho firm of George
A. Smith & Co., said whon approached on
the subject: "Affect business? Not a bit
of it ; why should it? I am a Republic in
but I do not consider thu Democratic
victory iu this stato as a party defeat, on
party lines. Thero was no party issuo
beforo tho people. Tho Republican
defeat is the outcome of a squabble.
There, is no principlo involved in
it. A section of tho party wanted to
strike Cameron, aud they have dono it.
This will not, iu my opinion, threaten pro
tcjiien. Republicans and Democrats
alike must take up tho samo position on
this question in tho interests of both labor
and capital. Thero has bceu a split in tbo
Republican party and tho Democrats havo
grabbed power, and that is all there is in
it ; but, in my opinon, trade will not bo
in any way affected."
