Naturally the interest sufficed to bring out a Large vote. The weather condition too were positively Ideal and not Only in to Borough. But also in tie Rural precincts the voters turned out eur Masse and very nearly a full vote was polled. In the Borough a number wage earners owing to Tho shut Down at the Reading Iron works Are temporarily employed out town and allowance has to be made for the absence Many these who did not come Home to vote. Voting was slow during the Day hut at most the polling places the Rush came Between five and seven clock. It would be hard to recall a time when party lines were More generally disregarded. It was to secret during the Day that Independent voting was the Rule Aud even the knowing ones were at sea As to what the result might he. Candidates Aud workers alike Weie dubious Aud they could not conceal their doubt. That the general uncertainty was justified is apparent in the unexpected pluralities that show up in the results. South Danville Loren representation is democrats gain five incomplete figures from the thirty Pennsylvania two congressional District be Ursyl Harry Fox badly injured loses Ewe Republican congressmen a Success United mine workers in politics. Harry Fox Welsh Hill met with a serious injury while working in Bloomsburg yesterday. He is employed in the car shops at that place Ami was assisting in tearing Down old cars.

Philadelphia nov. 7. The Reform movement in Philadelphia Aud throughout Pennsylvania received a serve blow in tuesdays election. The latest figures show that everywhere in the City and the state tin fusion party opposed to the regular Republican was either badly Defeated had its last years vote greatly reduced Edwin pc. Stuart this City the Republican candidate for governor against Lewis Emery jr., the fusion nominee ran very Strong everywhere and his plurality May reach 75,000. Last year the fusion its carried the state for state treasurer by a plurality 88,000. In Philadelphia Stuart ran ahead his ticket Aud carried Tho City by a plurality 32,328.

The us exit acted result the election in Philadelphia was keenly Felt by the Reform party. The principal fight in the City was made for the office a if District attorney Ami it was one the bitterest in the political history the county. The leaders the Unity party which had effected fus Ion with the democrats and pro ibo to ousts the local , certain that a Larence Gibboney their candidate for District attorney would win but the figures show that Samuel p. Rota i opponent carried the City by 12,121 the Republican car dilates for Cit treasurer and Regis i i a it wills were also elected he about the same plurality. Varia indicate that the democrats gained five congressmen which will make their delegation in the next House six instead Oue. It is possible that official figures May reduce the democratic gain slightly. The next legislature will remain heavily Republican although the democratic Aud Reform representation will be larger.
