NOVEMBER ELECTIONS.

The elections on Tuesday of last week, ex-
cited more than the usual interest through
out the country. Public attention was main
ly directed to New Y ork from which the re-
suit OF the efforts to defeat the Tammany
ring was anxiously looked for by everybody.
The contest in New Jersey was also of an
animated character, and the result in that
State was awaited with considerable interest
in all parts of the country.
In the city of New York great triumph
was achieved over the Tammany corrup-
tionists. Tweed was the only Senator elected
by them Only three Tammany Assembly
men were elected against eighteen Republi-
cans and Reform Democrats. All of the
fifteen anti Tammany Aldermen were elect
ed The Reform city ticket was elected by
large majorities. Sigeps majority for Regis
ter is returned at over %, 900; and Barrett,
for Judge of the Supreme Court, is elected
over Ledwith the Tammany candidate, by
10000 majority. The majority for Curtis
and Sedgwick, Reformcrs, for Judges of the
Superior Court. is about 10000. The Re

twenty-four Republicans and eight Demo
Gratis. In the House the Republicans will
have majority of sixty-four. Last year the

Democrats to sixty-three Republicans. This
Is most emphatic protest against the cor
ruption of the Democratic Legislature
In New Jersey the Democrats have elected
their Governor. Parker's majority is not
far from 400. This result is largely owing

ing majority in the Legislature.
