The Lambertville record. [volume] (Lambertville, N.J.) 1872-1968, 1873-11-12


THE NOVEMBER ELEcrIoNs.-The elections
held in six or eight States on the 4th instant
resulted in some decided political changes
since last year. The Republican ascendancy
obtained in the exciting Presidential campaign
was so great that it was of course impossible
| to sustain it in an off-year. In every State
that has voted the turn out has been small.
but in all of them the falling-off has been
most serious ON the Republican side. -
In Massachusetts,, Governor Washburn is
reelected by about $1,000 majority. The
Legislature is very largely Republican, as
usual, and in the Third Congress District
Henry L. Pierce, Rep, is elected to fill the va
cancy without opposition. The license ques-
ton entered largely into the contest, ..ise4s
| In New York the Democrats have elected
their State officers by 10000 to 1000 major
ity. The city of New York was carried by
the Tammany party by over 80, 600, and in the
interior the Republicans largely failed to at
tend the election. The Legislature remains
Republican--the Senate consisting Of IL Re-
publicans and IA Democrats, and the As
sembly of 70 Republicans and So Democrats
New Jersey still preserves her Republican
record. There was no State ticket IN the can
vass. Of the six new Senators the Republic
cans elected four. That body will stand IA
Republicans to Z Democrats, the same as last
year. The Assembly will contain 80 Repub-
licans and 28 Democrats. In Mercer county
| the Democrats carried all three of the Assem-
blymen, and in Burlington four Republicans
were chosen. II yelll.,aa l.s4taas
In Maryland the Democrats. carried the
State for Controller by q considerable major
ity--probably $4,000 or 10000 The Repnb-
licans have gained several members OF the
Legislature, but in that body there will be a
Democratic majority of about 65 on joint
ballot. ss;ogs aI BE sAa3SaaA 81 fIiasa 81
In Virginia General Kemper, sssConserva'
tive,' will have not far from 10000 majority
The contest was to a great extent between
the white and black races, and was quite
bitter one. Kemper was a prominent Office
of the Rebel army. The Legislature Is re
ported to be unchanged, and Is about two
thirds /" Conservative" 5oalaa.b bua Ala8s
