BOSTON, Nov. 8, 1870.
The election In Massachusetts has resulted In the
| customary republican triumph all around. IB
passed on very quietly in every section OF the state
and In Boston 1t was the most tranquil political
! event Of the kind that has tranaplrcd for years.
| Notwithstanding this peaceful character OF the
| election there has been unusually heavy vote
| thrown, and it IL therefore clear that the public
interest was more than ordinarily intense Probably
not In any OF the eighteen States where elections
were held to-day, has there been such a mixture
OF politics IN this state There were four distinct
tickets In the field, representing the republIcans
democrats labor reformers and liquor prohibition
lists; and besides all these distinctive features OF
the contest the question OF woman suffrage was also
taken into consideration In some sections of the
State. Governor Clanin headed the republican
ticket, John Quincy Adams the democratic, and the
rrepressible Wendell Phillips was the standard.
bearer for both the labor and prohibition factions.
The majority or Governor Ciania, as w.i
be seen, was somewhat Increased from last
year, and both branches or tho Legislature
are also characterized by larger republican mn

by the Legislature this winter Is assured beyond a
doubt, and the veteran politician is greatly eated
thereat. Both General Butler and Genera! Banks
are returned almost without any show OF opposl.
