Tie November Elections,


The returns from the States which heiu
elections on tuesday indicate varied results
In New York, the Democrats seem to nave
carried the State ticket (Secretary OF State
being the highest Office voted for), with '''e
aid of the panic, and of General Apathy
who always helps the Democracy. In the
city, Tammany proved too much Tor tne
coalition of Republicans and Apollo nan
Democrats. The Republicans carry both
branches of the Assembly, giving them the
U. S. Senator. The Democrats went gen.
orally Tor retaining the elective judiciary
system, which has given them such Judges
as Barnard, McCunn and Cardozo, and have
killed the constitutional amendment, making
a change in the system.
In Massachusetts,, the combined forces oil
Democracy, Rum and Butlerism have very
largely cut down Gov Washburn's MAJOR
ity Of last year; but he is elected by lS'ooo
majority. The vote was light, the to'ai
being 60 900 smaller than last year. IL Is
estimated that 10000 Republicans did not
vote. A noticeable feature of the election
was the adoption by the Republicans IN
several districts, of candidates who were
Liberal Republicans last year Thus uen'
Banks. who was thought to be pretty
thoroughly shelved, year ago, IS elected
to the State Senate, as the Republican
candidate, and there are several Liberals
returned to the House, in like manner.
Going South and West, in New Jersey the
Republicans carried the Legislature, with
Republican gains. There was no vote there
for State officers, the Governor holding
Office for three years. In Maryland the
Dutch have taken Holland. In Virginia
the issue was between the white men party,
calling themselves Conservatives, 'and the
Republicans, comprising all the eolored
voters. These were largely oyerawed, and
the Conservatives carry the State heavily
Arkansas goes Republican. The most
startling result in the list, is that in Wis
/ consin. where the Democrats, calling them
selves independents, have carried the
State by small majority. In Minnesota,
on the other hand the Republicans carry the
State handsomely From Kansas and other
States. the returns are indecisiye. 30 II
goes. OF course there is much talk IN the
opposition papers Of handwriting on the
wall " and plenty Of Democratic cheering
over their successes. In so far as these tend
to keep the old party lines and the old
issues, the Republicans can well join IN the
cheering. We do not consider it clear that
any thing has happened not explain
able BY the general looseness and torpor OF
the of year; butif it be true that thou
sands OF Republicans have stayed at home
in dozen States, through disgust at 50
much Of Credit Mobiier and salary grab as
lies at the Republican door-we believe the
Republican party is intelligent and teach
able enough to learn the lesson, and to gain
purity and strength for the future from its
local and temporary reyerses. The effect
of these on our opponents will tend to en-
sure the nomination Of Thurman for Presi-
dent in 1876, on straight Democratic
ticket
The Republicans never fear to meet the
Democracy on straight issue, in ma
tional election And if. as now seems
likely, that is the contest to which they are
to be invited next time, they will 60 to it
with the utmost cheerfulness.
