There has never been, since the opening of the campaign, much doubt as to the success of the republican party, which has main- tained its ascendency in Pennsylyania for so many years, and for a month past it has only been a ques- tion as to what the majority wonld be. ‘Before the Ohio election, when the ‘status of the new labor party was an unknown factor, there may have seemed to be a possibility of democratic success, but since the vote in Ohio showed the weak- ness of the labor and greenback party, there has been nothing left to speculate upon, but the size of the majority by which the republican party would receive its new lease of power in this State. The polls do not close until seven o'clock, but before that hour it was evident that the republican ticket in this city had been elected by a good majority. At this hour, 1 P.
