GREAT REPUBLICAN vICTO.
RIES.
The elections held last week In the seve-
raj States heretofore named, have resulted
in the most decided victories ever achieved
by political party in favor of the Republi-
cans. In only Delaware and Maryland have
the opponents Of the Republicans been sue
cessful. In the former scarcely anything
else could have been expected, so confirmed
has Delaware been in her secession pro-
clivities. In the latter the false swearing,
which Reverdy johnson declared would not
be perjury, the rebels all voted and the
consequen was natural. But everywhere
else the Republican gains are of such ma
ture as to show how utterly hostile the peo-
pie are to the Presidents policy and to the
idea of placing the Democratic party again
in power.
different States voting.
STATE OF NEW YORK.
When the tremendous majority in the
City of New York of over forty six thou
sand was announced for Hoffman, the Demo-
cratic Johnsonite candidate for Governor of
the State, the Republicans expressed great
fear for the safety of Fenton, and eventually
the Democrats admitted of his election by
four or five thousand majority; but as soon
as the loyal counties came rushing in with
their greatly increased majorities, Fenton
stock rose steadily until his majority went
beyond what his warmest supporters sup.
posed it would be. The vote is not all in
yet but the majority can scarcely be below
$4,000. The majority on Congressman in
the State is over $4,000. Fenton was op-
posed in the city of New York by every
man who kept q drinking-place of any de-
scription, by every rum-Grlnker, by every
keeper of gambling house, and all such
like. No good man need ever expect to get
the vote of such population as rules that
city. Notwithstanding the general result
of the State is as follows: To Congress 20
Republicans, 10 Democrats and indepen.
dent Republican are chosen to the State
Senate 20 Republicans and 9 Democrats; to
the Assembly s5 Republicans an6 43 Demo.
