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

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

By tho United Press.
Washington, Keb. 1!. There was an
unusual attendance of senators this
morning, probably In view of the ex
pected contest over the free silver coin
age bill. A communication was pre
sented und read from the secretary of
the treasury in response to a resolution
of the senate In which the secretary
states the balance In the treasury to
be exclusive of $.".5,U00.0UO gold reserve
$y;,S75.US4. The secretary states it as
his opinion that the socretary of the
treasury ought to be permanently in
vested with authority to Issue and sell
short time bonds or other obligations
for the purpose of meeting ordinary
deficiencies, although he does not think
there Is any necessity at this time for
tile exercise of such authority If R ex
isted, lie is of the opinion that for the
next fiscal year tho receiptu will exceed
the expenditures. -
Mr. Jones, Arkansas, moved that the
senate proceed with the regular order
the silver coinage bill. An objection to
displacing morning business was Inter
posed by Mr. Hill. New York.
The vote was taken on Mr. Jones'
motion to take up the silver bill, and It
was agreed to. Yeas Ilti, nays 27. Tho
bill, having been taken up, and read In
full, Mr. Jones having charge of It. sug
gested that an hour be fixed today for
taking the final vote on its passage.
Tho Speech of Mr. Vilas.
This suggestion precipitated a long
discussion, the opponents of the bill re
fusing to consent to fixing a time for
the vote to be taken. The general de
bate on the lilll then begun, and Sena
tor Vilas, Wisconsin, made a long
speech in defense of the president of
the United States and his secretary of
the treasury In the matter of the sale
of sixty-two millions of 4 per eenf.
bonds, for gidd. The speech was made
on the bill before the senate for the
coinage of silver, but had no reference
whatever to that bill.
Mr. Vilas spoke for nearly four hours.
When look his seat, Mr. Squire (Wash
ington) sent to the clerk's desk nnd ha I
read the act of June 1!.", lKiX, expressly
declaring that all I'nited States bonds
payable In coin should be paid in gold
or silver coin at the option of the gov
ernment. The act, he said, was a full
and complete answer to the entire ar
gument nf the senator from Wisconsin.
After Mr. Vilas' speech Mr. Piatt
(Connecticut) made a speech agulnst
the sliver bill Itself. Another effort
wus made by Mr. Jones to have a time
llxed for taking the final vote on the
bill; but ns Its antagonists refused to
fix any time the debate went on.

At 8 p. tn. tho Republican opponents
of the bill began u system of obstruc
tion tactics under the lead of Mr.
Aldrlch. He moved that the senate
proceed to executive business, but nil
but six of the Republican senators
withheld their votes, and when, ut :l
p. m., the (iiiortim was completed, the
motion for an executive session wna
withdrawn nnd the following resolution
was offered by Mr. Wolcott (being the
one agreed upon among the negotia
tors): Resolved, Thut It Is the sense of tho
senate that the welfare and prosperity
of the United States require the enact
ment of a law for the free and unlimit
ed coinage of silver at the ratio of 111
to 1.
Resolved,, That In view of the fact
that thlH congress will expire by law
on March 4, and that there are Import

of the senate tha tho consideration of

session of congress.
"Let that resolution lie over until
tomorrow and be printed," Bald Mr.
Jones, of Arkansas.
The resolution went over and the sen

Minneapolis, Minn., Feb. 19. The

' Julia K. AVaiker, of St. Paul, testified
