Last Nights Dispatches.

MAINE AT the kenn6beC journal OH ce,
returns from rs towns show ma jority of % ,0jl
for Grant.
NEW YoRK.-The full city vote for mayor,
with only two districts missing, is a. follows -
Llwrence. dem, 1888; O'Brien, Apollo Hall
DEM, "a i32; Hayemeyer, rep, 81 GIG.
NEW JRRsRY.-New Jersey goes for Grant by
nearly 1000 majority.
VIRGINIA The republicans claim the state
by from 900 to 1000. The heavy gains reported
indicate a very marked change in the aspect OF
the Congressional delegation. 1t is now claimed
BY the republicans that they have not only
elected their representatives in the ID, 81 and
ith districts hut also in the LIST and 5th, leaving
only the 9th, eth, Sth and 9th for the democrats.
There is, however, doubt in regard to the list
and 9TH districts.
GEORGIA.-The result of the election in the
Savannah district is still undecided. The
returns come in slowly, but it is thought that
kawies, DEM, is defeated.
ALABAMA.-The democratic gains and losses
computed the basis of the Smith Lindsay
vote OF 1870, foot up as follows: Gains, $500;
losses, 10.50J. These figures embrace unofficial
returns from twenty-eight counties, polling
largely more than half the vote of the state and
indicate the election of the republican state
ticket by small majority. Greeley runs slightly
behind the liberal democratic state ticket. The
leg islature is doubtful. but the democrats claim
small majority in both houses. Sloss and
Caldwell, dems., from the 5th and 9Th districts
are certainly elected. Handley, DEM, seems to
be defeated in the Sd district BY Pelham, rep.
Bromberg, lib, is elected from the LIST district,
by 900 majority.
LOUIsIANA.-Unofficial returns from thirty
six parishes outside of Orleans give a net repub-
fcan majority of 953i. In the same parishes In
1910 the net republican majority was Is, 1856.
The remaining sixteen parishes in 1870 gave a
net republican majority of 2l5. With the same
ratio of gains the liberals carry the state.
ARKANsAs.-The indications are that the
state has gone for Grant by 2 200 to 5000. The
legislature is republican. Asa Hodges, rep, is
probably elected to Congress III the lst district,
y. +. Snyder in the %, and Thomas M. Gunter
dem, i'll the Sd.
MIs sOURI.-In most OF the counties heard
from, WOOdsOn, dem, for Governor. runs
ahead of Greeley. Henderson, rep for Gov
ernOr, runs slightly behind Grant. Parker,
rep, for Congress, in the 9TH district has about
2CO majority. Crittenden, DEM, in the eth dis
tTlct, defeats BuTdett, rep, by about 1000 ma
jOrity.
KENTCCEY.-The returns are still very mea-
ger, but enough have been received to indicate
that the republicans have carried four out of
the ten congressional districts; 1Our are certain
tor toe democrats, and two are doubtful. Burns.
rep, Is elected to Congress in the 10th district
and Wood, rep, in the 9th. The Sth is not Ger
tain, but the indications are in favor OF Dur
ham, dem. The republicans cOncede the state
to Greeley by from 900 TO 10000.
TEYNEssKE.-RepOrts from democratic and
republican sources make the Congressional del
egation stand as follows: LIST district, K. r.
Butler, rep; %, James Thornburg, rep; Sd,
William Crutchfeld, rep; 18th, John NJ. Bright,
dem; 9Th, Horace Hanson, rep; 9Th Gibbs
rep; eth, j. ID. e. Aikens, dem sth, David r.
Mum, rep 9th, Barbour Lewis, rep. For the
state at large, Horace Maynard, rep. If subse.
quent returns make no changes the delegation
will stand eight republicans to two democrats
1t was not expected that the republicans would
carry, under the new appOrtiOnment law, more
than two districts. Returns from middle and
west Tennessee show that Brown, LIBERAL for
Governor, has lost heavily from his vote in is.O,
and fears are entertained in democratic quarters
that he has been beaten. The republicans ex-
pecteG such result. and are he atf tho
prospect. The republicans have made large
gains in the legislature.
kANsAs.-FrOm the returns received by the
republican state central committee it is esti-
ma ted that Grants majority in the state will be
80 GOO.
CALIFoRNIA.-The returns are still incom
plete, but the latest received give Grant 9,37 )
majority.
