Delaware gazette. [volume] (Delaware, Ohio) 1855-1886, 1870-11-11

Yesterdays elections, like those OF
October, were decidedly favorable to the
Republicans. They insure large Re-
publican majority in the next National
House of Representatives and put f.
nal extinguisher on the wild hopes IN
duIged by the Democracy. The Ad-
ministration is emphatically sustained,
and the omens are bright for the contin-
ued ascendancy of the Republicans dur
ing the remainder of the century.
Massachusetts, despite the distraction
of sundry new party tickets and all the
eioouence of Wendell Phillips, gives
Gov. Clafin, Republican, several thous-
and more votes than last year, Her
unanimously Republican delegation is
reelected entire.
Rhode Island elects Republican Con-
gressmen in both districts-Hon. B. T..
Eames having a clear majority over
Tenckes, Civil Service Reformer, and
three other candidates.
New York re-elects Gov Hoffman,
Democrat, by majority largely reduced
since the Judicial election in May last.
An honest election, aided by Federal
support-which the Tammanyites so
much dreaded-has largely cut down
the Democratic vote heretofore fraudu-
Iently returned in the city. This puri-
fcation of the polls, this Manhattan re-
construction, is glory enough for one
day. The Republicans lose only two or
three Congressman in the State, accord
ing to present arances-greatly DIS
appointing Democratic expectations.
We were ourselves prepared for greater
changes in the delegation, and are hence
agreeably disappointed.
New Jersey more than offsets New
York losses in proportion to her size, by
handsome Republican gains. The ear.
her accounts report the election OF tom
Republican Congressman and only one
Democrat It may be that we have only
three, and the Democracy two. In F8oS
three Democrats and two Republican:
were elected.
Virginia certainly elects three, anC
probably four, Republican Congressman
out of eight. In the present Congress
there are but three Republicans from thai
State. In Maryland the Republican
vote is increased, and we probably gain
one Congressman. Reports from Ala
bama and Arkansas are meagre, but IA
vorabIe. In Kentucky there are large
Republican gains, and the Eighth anC
Ninth Districts are ours. We elect two
Republican Congressman in Tennessee
and probably three. The Republican
gains IN Delaware do not appear to have
been sufficient to overcome the Demo
cratic majority, which is reduced to from
800 to 500. The vote in Nevada is quite
close.
Illinois remains true, holding her owr
on Congressmen-ten Republicans tc
four Democrats. "Lopg John is
beaten. Michigan is all right, with pos
sibly the loss of one member of Con
gress-Driggs. Wisconsin is unchanged
save the loss of the Milwaukee district
where Mitchell, Dem, and RAILROAD
monopolist, is elected over Judge Lyon
in place Of Gen. Payne, who was not q
candidate. Kansas has gone Republi.
can, as usual.
Missouri is badly mixed. Gratz Brown
Republican boIter, supported BY th'
Democracy, is probably elected owe
Gov. McCfurg. but BY what majority i
not known. Wells, Protection Demo
Graf, is elected in the First District
Finkelnberg, Free Trade Republican
in the Second, Mccormick, Democrat
in the Third. From the other District:
we have no definite returns CflsczHatak
