Nebraska advertiser., 1869-11-11

The general result Of the November
elections may be briefly stated as fol-
lows:
In New York, The democratic ticket
has been successful by a majority Of
about 1000. In 1858, the same patty
carried the State by q, 946 majority.
The State Legislature is divided, In
the Senate the democrats have two
majority. In the House the Republi.
cans have four majority. The Repub-
licans have two majority On joint bal
lot.
In West Virginia, the Republican,
have elected majOrities in both branch
les of the State Legislature.
In Wisconsin, the Republicans havu
elected their State ticket by a MAORI
ty ranging between 5000 and 10, 900
and caraied both branches of the
State Legislature, by decided MAORI
ties.
Minnesota elects a ROublican Gov.
ernor, by about 1000, anda Legislature
Republican in both branches. Upon
this Legislature will devolve the duty
of eIecting a United States Senator in
place of Daniel S. Norton, a Johnson
lied copperhead.
In New Jersy the democrats have
maintained their ascendency, by elect
ing a Legislature of their sort. This
State voted for Seymour, in 1868, and
elected Theodore f. Randolph, Dem
Ocrat) Governor over John I. BIain,
Republican,, by a majority of 4,618.
Old Massachusetts, was divided and
perpIexed by three tickets in the late
election-the regular Republican with
Governor Claflin at the head-the reg
ular democrat with John Quincy
Adams as their leader-and the anti
License ticket, with Chamberlain, a
PrOhibitiOnist, at its head, But the
Old Bay State never falters in the
right-herpeOple go to school and all
know how to read-aye and to think
too. The result shows a Republican
majority of about 10000 for Governor
with scarcely enough cOpperheads in
the Legislature to swear by.
Geo. NJ. Brooks, asOund Republican
is elected to Congress by $500 MAORI
ty in tn 7th district to fill the place
made vacant by the appointment of
Geo. S. Boutwell, as Secretary of the
Treasury. This will do for Massachu-
sets this time. She will roll up So
600 on the right side whenever occa-
sion requires her verdict to be emphat-
ic.
Kansas elects a Legislature emphat-
Republican in both branches.
The Cops have carried Leavenworth
and Atkinson counties by small ma
j~Orities and perhaps twOOr three 9TH
ers but the day for resurrection of
bOrder-ruffianism in Kansas will
scarcely precede the final summons
from Gagriel's horn.
Illinois, elected a Constitutional
Convention, and county and munich
pal officers on Tuesday last. Local
disse1siOns and divisions lost us sever
al member in Northern IllinOis-thTee
or four in ChicagO-but the Republi-
of Illinois are strong enough to main
tain a pretty respectable fight among
themselves, and yet beat the copper
heads.
In spite Of our family quarrals the
Illinois Constitution is very largely
Republican.
yMarylandn-ha of
course elected the copperhead ticket
Just as Kentucky would have done if
she had voted on the same day. A
State wherein soldiers were fired up
on from behind trees and walls and
stumps, and from all manner of con-
cealed and therefore safe places as
they rushed to the defense Of an inn
periled country, cannot be expected
to range itself on the side Of the party
Ofhuman rights and universal freedom
until the stock of 1861 has become ex-
tinct, and given place TO the patriotic
citizens. OF course Mary land elected
the copperhead ticket. She voted for
Seymour a year ago by majority Of
81, 919.
Such are the records tOf he Novem-
Der elections. We are abundandantIv
satisfied withit.-OmdhG Republican.
