The passage of the tariff bill . . .

. . . though the House by republicans, is hailed with great enthusiasm in the iron districts of Pennsylvania. Meetings were held and salutes fired in various places on Saturday evening on the receipt of the news.

This may be regarded as a sure omen of the glorious triumph which awaits the republican banner in the Keystone state.
