THE DEMOCRATIC FOOT STILL PLANTED ON SCOUTEN ONLY A LITTLE HARDER. Albert Dyer Elected by A Good Majority. Thanks to conscientious and hon orable Democrats and to the hard and intelligent work of Mr. Dyer's friends he was elected Representa tive over Edward G. Rogers by a majority of 124 votes. This fall was ■ a bad year for Republicans in Sulli van county to win. l'attison was a strong candidate, and money was supplied to the Democratic Chair man and his leading followers in bundles. All that the Republicans had to rely on was the general dis-1 gust of good citizens which Scouten has inspired and a reliance on Dem ocratic good sense and independ ence. On County Treasurer there were still greater difficulties to con tend with, for although in Mr. Bird we had a model candidate, in Mr. Gavitt the Democrats were equally str< ng. We regret exceedingly Mr. ; Bird's defeat for he would have 1 made an excellent servant of the people and his long life, of industry and integrity entitled him to expect better results. But on Representa-1 tive where the Democratic candidate j had a record, the independent Dem ocrats had an opportunity to show their good citizenship and they did it in a manner to reflect credit on themselves and the county at large. Above are the returns. REPUBLICAN VICTORY Samvel W. PennypaeKer Elect ed Governor by Usual Large Majority. Ex-Judge Samuel W. Penny pack er is elected Governor by over 150. 000 majority. Thus ends the cam paign of vituperation and abuse, the nasty cartoons and the mud slinging which has been the Democratic stock in trade. Chairman Creasy told his followers that Pattison would have 40.000 majority and this misled many good Democrats who bet their mon ey and lost it. Chairman Quay pre dicted 100.000 majority and the chances are it has been obtained. Pres. Baer of the Reading Rail Road and the big man for the oper ators went to the polls and voted for Pattison. The Philadelphia papers say that he said he would strain ev ery effort to beat Pennypacker on account of the aid which Quay and Penrose gave to the strikers. But while the big boss voted for Pattison, thousands of honest and intelligent laborers voted the other way, and the result was that workingnien won. Every credit for the election of Pennypacker must be given to the farmers and laboring men of Penn sylvania. It was their vote which did the business and we know that the clean and honest administration which Judge Pennypacker will give, will amply repay them for their de votion to the best interests of the Statu.

It is universally hoped that it may be kept up all winter and if it is the probability is that it will tend to develop a con tinuous business. With his usual energy Mr. Warn er got together a road making force the other day, including Street Com missioner Smith and the road ma chine with the result that the main drive up the hill to Crestmont is in fine order with a very moderate out lay.
