THE ELECTION RESULTS.


now pretty correctly ascertaned, and are not
much different from first reports, though
varying in some instances. The republicans
lose several members of Congress in the az
gregate, as was anticipated, but in the whole
have sustained themselves successfully.

ticket, and the democrats have sixty of the
one handred members Of the Legislature.

about COCO. The republicans have carried
three candidates for Congress in the First,

have the other three, making democratic
gain of one member.

cans, but the democrats claim gains, and the
result on members of Congress is not yet
known.
Delaware is democratic as usual but by
only majority of 500 against a majority in
1868, Of 1857. The democrats have the State
officers, legislature and members of Congress.
Florida is claimed by the Conservatives for
their ticket on State, Legislature and Con-
gress, which means, if true, that the repubi-
cans are defeated. The accounts received
are not very full, and more intelligence is
necessary for fair understanding of the
state of things.
Illinois has gone republican by reduced
majority on account of apathy among the yot-
ers. The republicans have the Legislature
or;+ tha md
twenty five in the Senate, and elect eight of
the fourteen members of Congress, which is
democratic gain Of two.

majority in the State being about $4,000.
The Legislature is four-fitths republican, and
all the republican candidates for Congress are
elected
Kentucky has gone democratic, but by a
largely reduced majority on account of the
negro vote, and the vote on members of Con-
gress in the Eighth and Ninth districts is so
close the result is in doubt, and may give US
republican gain Of two members, in this
hard shell democratic State.
Louisiana is reported carried strongly by
turns. Some rioting occurred at Donaldson
Vile which the United States authorities
quelled.
Maryland has been saved to the democracy
by hard fight, but the republicans have
made handsome gains, and claim to have the

Congress in the Sixth district, Sutherland
carrying it by 800 majority.

enemy an opportunity to make inroads and
secure advantages which the republicans will
not readily regain

two republicans to Congress. First reports
conceded one representative to the opposi-
ton, but the republicans have both, and thus
make republican gain for the House.
Massachusetts, presents strong republican
front, electng Clafiin for Governor over both
his competitors, and sending fall republi
can delegation to Congress. The vote on
Governor as far as received is for Claim
1902, Adams As, 1853, Phillips q, G3l.

Governor, but it is thought the remainder OF

defeated by about 100 votes. Oakley Hall is
elected Mayor of the city by 10000 majority
