Full Text
Official returns have been received at the state department, Harrisburg, from all the counties in the state, except Carbon, Delaware, Clinton, Lycoming, Schuylkill, Warren, Washington and Wayne. The aggregate vote for governor is: Beaver, 373,902; Black, 330,906; Wolfe, 28,224; Houston, 3,683. In the counties from which returns have been received the vote is 736,715, against 672,281 four years ago. The increase, as compared with the vote in 1882, is about nine per cent, which ratio, if sustained in the rest of the state, will make the total vote in the state about 810,000, or an increase of nearly 67,000.
The Greenback-Labor vote has dwindled from 23,996 to less than 6,000. The Prohibition vote has increased from 5,196 to over 30,000. The vote for Beaver will exceed 400,000 and that for Black will be greater than that received by Pattison when he was elected by over 40,000 plurality. Black will fall short of Cleveland's poll about 30,000, while Beaver will be 70,000 behind Blaine. The vote will be short of that of the last presidential election about 89,000.
