Vare, republican, led William B, ‘Wilson, democrat, by some 173, 000 votes. This was the ciosest a democrat had come in many_years to win-i ning a United States mn-loruh(p‘ in the Keystone state. and Wilson refused to admit defeat. Instead, he charged that fraud had been committed in Philadelphia. = De- nial of the. charges was mnlle by supporters of Vare. 4 The United States senate is to be final arbiter of .the dispute.
