THE ELECTIONS.

The result of the elections OF Tuesday
last will be found below as nearly correct
as it is at present possible to get, and this
miserable record we have been brought to
contemplate by the false men the Republic,
can party have entrusted with power, and
loaded with favors. In Maryland the en-
tire Democrat delegation is elected to Con-
gress, the Republicans losing two members,
Loundes of the 9th district and A. B. Hag-
ner of the 5th. Mr.. Ensor is defeated in
the End by 1926 majority.
In New Jersey, the majority for Bedle,
Democrat. for Governor, is estimated at
$4,000. The Legislature will have Dem
ocratic majority of II on joint ballot, thus
giving the Democrats the election of a U.
S. Senator. Of the Congressional Dis
tricts, 5 are Democratic and 2 Republican,,
Democratic gain of A. Phelps, the Re-
publican candidate for Congressman in the
Fifth District, is defeated by the rejection,
for informally, of 60 ballots, the counting
of which would give him a majority of -
votes.
In New York the Republicans concede
Democratic majority in the Assembly of
16, which secures the choice of a Demo-
cratic U. s. Senator to succeed Fenton.
In Michigan, both parties claim the cleo
ton of their candidates for Governor, the
Democrats by from / ZOO to 1900 majority.
The Congressional delegation is believed
to stand five Republicans to four Demo-
crats-a Democratic gain of four. The
Legislature is doubtful.
In Virginia, the Democrats claim of the
8 Congressional Districts-a Democratic
gain of 2.
In Wisconsin the Republicans claim six
of the eight Congressman. their present
number, but one of the Republican Dis
tricts is doubtful. The Republicans also
claim from 10 to 90 majority in the Legis-
lature.
In South Carolina, Chamberlain, the reg
ular Republican candidate for Governor, is
believed to be elected. The Conservatives
have elected one Congressman, and perhaps
two.
In Georgia, all the Congressman elected
are believed to be Democratic.
Florida elects two Republicans to Con-
gress.
Alabama has gone Democratic by over
5000 majority. The Democrats claim to
have gained three Congressman.

There will be Republican majority of 8
in the Senate and 66 in the House. The
Democrats gain Congressman. All the
Republican State ticket, except Talbot, is
elected. The Legislature is largely oppos-
ed to prohibition. The feeling in Boston
and section over the result Of the election
is profound. The papers unite in ascrib-
ing the defeat to abuses which have crept
into the Republican State party, and is
apparent sympathy with corruptions.-
They urge the cleansing process and pre-
dict more glorious record than ever in
the future as the result of temporary de-
feat. The defeat of Butler and Aver is
hailed with satisfaction even by the Repub-
lican press.

900 majority, electing their whole Congress
sional ticket with the exception, probably,
of members.

far received indicate the election of all the
Conservative Congressman.
Florida. Returns indicate the election of
Republicans in both Districts to Congress.

a majority of 1000 or 1 300 in the State.
Kansas. 1t is believed that the Republi-
can State ticket will have majority of
5000.
Kentucky elects full Democratic Con-
gressional delegation.
The latest returns from Pennsylvania in
dictate that the Democrats carry 16 or II of
the 81 Congressional Districts, and that
they will have small majority in the Leg
