New national era. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1870-1874, 1871-05-25

The following will give slight idea of the
way the Republican party dies out. 1t differs
| somewhat from the Democratic idea of the re-
action:
Rhode Island elected all her Republican State
officers by about 3, 400 majority. The Legis-
lature is Republican, and Dixon, Sheffield. and
Brown are all returned to Congress.
The average Republican majority in Con-
necticut, and the State ticket outside of Cover
nor, is about three hundred The officers
elected were Lieutenant Governor, Secretary of
State, Treasurer, and Comptroller.

fourth Congressional district Of Michigan, to
succeed 1hos. w. Ferry, elected to the Senate.
His majority will probably be about 5000

Cleveland, Massillon, and Elyria, Ohio keo
kuk and Davenport, Iowa Mattoon, Illinois ;
Evansville, Indiana Fort Scott and Atchison,
Kansas, elected the Republican ticket at their
local elections

S. Braunon, Republican, was elected mayor
unanimously. In Appleton the Democratic
ticket was elected, except city attorney. In

Mayor for three years was defeated by thirty
votes by Mr. Kimball Lyons majority in

Pulling 49, The county will give Lyon nearly
$500 majority. AT Whitewater, n. M. Little

plete Republican triumph
At Minneapolis, April 9th, the Republicans
| elected r. r. Ames for mayor by about 500
ajority.
Moline am Jacksonville, Illinois La Crosse,
Kingston, Oshkosh, and Milwaukee, Wiscon-
sin; Lyons and Council Bluffs, Iowa Omaha
Nebraska and Schenectady, New York, have
all elected Republican mayors. The result in
Milwaukee is particularly surprising, Harrison
Ludington having 500 majority for mayor.
For the first time since 1868, Republican
administration has been elected to take charge
of the Oshkosh city government. James V.
Jones, Republican, was elected mayor by u
majority Of So. The Republicans also elected
the city clerk, treasurer, Justice of the peace,
and nine out of the thirteen aldermen. j. III.

elected mayor by large majority. The Dem
Ocrats elected their assessor and one or two al
dermen. The rest of the Republican ticket was
| elected by large majorities. The city had gen.
orally gone Democratic, and the result of
Tuesday was rejoced over as great Republi-
can victory.
Racine was carried by the Republicans by
large majority, M. b. ErSkine being re elected
mayor by nearly 700 majority and the Repub-
iicans electing their ticket, except Marshal, by
good majorities The eitySgives Lyon 1000

urer; elected Edward Bissell for municipal
judge, for the long term, over John BOYD,
Democrat, by 52S majority, and ID. w. Conklin

The capital of Illinois is redeemed. Smith.
Republican, is elected mayor by three hundred
majority. The Democrats carried the city last
year by 1863 majority. There is much rejoicing
over this event.
The election in Jersey City, recently held for
city officers, passed of, witt few exceptions,
IN quiet and orderly manner. The result was
decided Republican victory. which was almost
entirely unexpected by leading politicians of
both parties. The Irishmen claim that they
have the secret, and that the neglect of the
Irish element in the makeup of the Democratic
tickets-which bore no Irish names-dd the
business for the party. Last year the board of
aldermen stood two-thirds Democratic by this
election it is changed to fve-sixths Republi-
can-ten out of twelve members being elected
by the Republicans. BY the new charter the
aldermanic districts are reduced from sixteen
to six, and five of these gave Republican ma
jorities.
