MAN, OF DESTINY DOWNED Charles V. Warwick Elected Mayor of riiiluilelntua Over Ex-Governor I'uttison by u Majority of 50,000 Kepublicuns Sweep the State ut Larijc. Uy tho United rivss. Philadelphia, I-Vb. 1!. Vhlltnlolphia today niulntuiiu-d its reputation for BtalwfU't llepuljlteanlsni ami elected the elected the candidates of the Kepubll candldates of the Republican party by a majority of 60,000. The election today wan for mayor, receiver of taxes, councllmeti, police inajtiHtratesi and school directors. The epublieuns made a clean sweep anil looted their candidates for mayor and celver of taxes by a greater majority an ever Riven to similar oiiices upon al Issues. The candidates of the publican party for mayor und le ver of taxes were City Solicitor harles P. Warwick and William J. mey, respectively. Ex-Govornor Hub ert K. Paulson and 1'oloncl Sylvestor lionnatTon, jr., were the candidates of the. Democratic party for the same oiiices. Seldom In the history of local politics has a campaign been so lierecly fought as the one which closed tonight. The Democratic papers made a violent as sault upon Mr. Warwick and his asso ciates on the ticket and accused them of beiiiK the tools of a Republican ring that would use them to further tho ntlivldual Interests or certain mem bers of the party. The Republican pa pers retaliated In kind and scoffed at Mr. Pattison's reform platform and published columns of matter purport ing to sho;v that during his recent term as governor he used that ollice to fur ther In the must partisan maimer the Interests of the Democratic party. Mr. Warwick in his letter of accept ance and repeatedly from the platform denied the charges of the Democratic papers that he was under pledges to any one. and that. If elected, he would admfriister the office (1f mayor for the hot Interests of the city of Philadel phia alone. The Supposed Disaffection a Myth. While the Republican papers more or less made the campaign upon national issues, the Democrats conducted their canvass upon the ground of local Inter ests. The situation was complicated by a supposed disaffection In the Re publican rank;i. by which the followers of United States Senator Quay. State Senator Roles Penrose and Coroner Samuel H. Ashbrtdge were believed to be Inimical to Mr. Warwick's can II daoy. This supposed light was the ou' growth of the abrupt "turning down" of Senator Penrose for the mayoralty nomination and the substitution of Mr. Warwick on the day before the conven tion for Mr. Penrose by the Republican leaders' national committeeman, Davi-l Martin and State Senator Charles A. Porter. .Much political capital was made out of this supposed disaffection by the Democratic papers, and cliarg-s of various kinds, affecting local inter ests, were brought against Martin an I Torter. If a split ever really existed In thf Kepublican ranks It has been heeled and no evidence of a "knifing" of the candidate of the party is visible la to day's vote. Undcpcndcnt Voto KM No: Materialize. A great effort was made by the Demo cratic mjnna.'n of the campaign to ar ray the Independent Republican vote of the city against Mr. Warwick, and up to today it wasthought that thy had "oeen to a certain extent successful. The fight for (he receivership of taxes was obscured by the grfater prominence to the mayoralty campaign. Mr. Honey, n the brother-in-law of Mr. Martin, was subjected, however, to n number of fierce assaults by tho Democratic press, and, as Colonel Ronaffon was nn Ind" pendent Republican with a magnllieeiit war record, It was thought that Mr. Boncy was even more liable to deft at than Warwick. This belief, however, was erroneous, and Mr. Roney has been elected with prolmbly an approximately equal majority to the. head of the ticket. The Republican were also victorious in their councllmanlc tights, except In one or two Instances where local ward ls; Flies dominated the contests, and their majority In the city councils will be greater than ever. When Mayor Stuart, the present In cumbent, of the ehlef,exeeutlveship of the city, was elected, lib; majority was 39,000, anfl at the last state election, when Governor Hastings was elected, Philadelphia gave him K5,(Mt majority. Elections were held In every city, bor ough and township In Pennsylvania to- , and returns received tonight Indl- ti that the Republicans In every case e either held tholr own or Increased r majority.

A SOLID SEKVICG OF SI LYE H Our Popular Townsman Will He Presented with a Thousand-Dollar Token by Hurrishtiig 1 1 lends other News ut the Capitul. Special to the Scranton Tribune. llarrlsburg, Pa., Feb. 111. F.x-T,!ou-tcnant tlovernor Watres, of Scriinton, will be presented, after the legislative recess, with a testimonial in tho form of a inngnlliccnt silver Hervlce by his colleagues In tho senate during the four years he served its Its presiding ollicer. The presentation speech will be made by .Senator McCarrell, of this city. There will be addresses by other senators. No state nlllcial In Pennsyl vania, has ever gone out of ollice with more friends or a cleaner record than Mr. Watres. During his term lie was as popular at the state cnpltol with the Dcmoorutlo olllolals and clerks as with the Republicans. The testimonial Is valued ut $1,000 and was selected by Senate Librarian Miller. Secretary Reoder Is much annoyed by the bitter contest for deputy secretary of the commonwealth. Tho applicants are numerous and, wllh few exceptions, strongly endorsed. While no choice has been made it is conceded that the appointment will go either to Alle gheny. Armstrong, (ireene. Fayette or Washington counties. The secretary has asked Deputy Secretary Tllclen to remain until April 1 uml It Is thought that he will not announce his selection before the middle of March. A month ago It was practically set tled that James Harnett, a young law yer of Washington, would be appointed. He Is a personal friend of Lieutenant tlovernor Lyon, who Is urging his ap pointment. Senator Quay Is also Inter ested In the success of Harnett, but not to the extent of asking for his appoint ment. The strongest opposition to him comes from his own county. Congressman-elect Acheson nnd .other party leaders there having liled u protest against his appointment. Acheson claims Harnett is a political "kicker" und that he has always been opposed to those In control of the party or ganization in the county. To weaken Harnett the congressman-elect has brought out as n candidate ugalnst him Chairman Dickey, of the Ureene county Republican committee. (Cher Appointments. Secretary Ueeder has not yet selected a corporation clerk to take the place of J. Klttera VanDyke, of Lewlsbure, a hold-over from the Harrlty adminis tration. A formidable aspirant for the position Is William C. Fumsworth, of Halifax, who has been endorsed by those In control of the party organiza tions In Northumberland und Montour counties, who are endeavoring to have him appointed and credited to Dauphin county, but the leaders of that county refuse to agree to this, so that his chances are not very promising. Horace C. Hlue, of Danville, a clerk In the state department, litis been no tified by Secretary Reeder that his place will be filled by a Republican, beginning March 1. His successor has not yet been announced. (lovernor Hastings will give a hearing on Thursday to the friends and oppo nents of the bill for an additional law judge in Westmoreland 'county. The friends of tho measure are confident the executive will approve It, notwdth standing his veto of the bill giving Washington county another judge. The ten days' limit expires on Friday. The governor litis not yet noted upon the bill affecting decrees of registers of wills and appeals front registers. He has also under consldertitlontwo resolu tions which will be disposed of during the recess. One authorizes the secre tary f Internal affairs to publish an nually a copy of the laws regulating mining, and the other provides for tho publication of 10,000 copies of the lisli and game laws ut the close of the season.

The Ilayward defense is working the "third man" theory and is putting in testi mony to show that it was some otlvr man than Harry Haywardwho planned the murder. ' Julia K. AVaiker, of St. Paul, testified this afternoon to having seen Miss Oing several times in St. Paul with n middle-aged man who wore an Iron gray mustache. The description given by this witness does not tally with either that of Wilson or C.rlndall. The latter tcstilied that he saw a man enter the buggy in which Mis3 Oing was riding, after she hud driven a block from the West hotel. There was a terrible row today over the attempts of Mr. Erwin to draw from this witness a description of the abuse to which he had been subjected by a detective named Hoy and police officers. Mr. Nye made an objection every time a question was asked as to Grlndall be ing prosecuted. The court sustained every objection to testimony of this kind, but Mr. Krwin persisted In an ef fort to get the evidence on record. Judge Smith sharply reproved the at torney. Crindall swore this afternoon that efforts' had been made to corrupt his testimony by an attorney, Charles Kb ert. Kbert, he snys, had been repre senting himself ns one nf Erwin's men. The witness said he did not find nut until last Saturday that Ebcrt was working for the state. The defense wanted to recall Livery man Wilson, who was so positive that he saw Miss tling and Harry Haywnrd riding together on the night of the murder, but found he had taken a hasty trip to Missouri.
