The New Orleans papers have horribly

any sense is permitted, wholly differ

verting the whole thing into ridicu-

Republicans gain three Supervisors. In Mon
TOE COUNTY, the Board Of Supervisors stands
as last yeaz-21 Republicans and 10 Demo-
Gratis. The Republicans elect their Mayor and
other officers, in the city OF Rochester, by
over 500 majority. In DurcHEss CorETH, the
Republicans gain two or three towns. The
city Of Poughkeepsie elects Republican May
OF: In OswEGo COUNTY, Henry Fitzhugh is
elected Mayor Of Oswego by large majority.
In WARRINGTON COUNTY, twelve towns, al1
that have been heard from, elect Republican
Supervisors. The city Of Auburn, the home
Of Gov; Seward, elects the Republican Mayor
By sos majority, being the biggest Republican
majority ever given in that city. The cities Of
Utica and Troy elect Democratic Mayors, as
usual, but by reduced majorities. In several
other towns, where elections have been held,
the Republicans either show gains or hold
their OWL. It should be remembered that last
Spring the Republicans. car7ied over three
fourths Of the towns Of the State, and, conse-
quently, the margin for gains is extremely
limited.
