MANCHESTER, March 1O.-The Democrats
are exceedingly jubilent tonight over the re-
suit of the election in this city, and State. As
soon as the result was known a meeting was
held at City Hall, at which Gov Weston, and
Mr.. Chandler, the successful candidate for Sen
ator from this tdistrict made speeches. The
Democrats elect their candidate for Senator in
the Sd district by about so majority.

gregate vote of 5000; of this vote McCu tchins
has q ,003, Weston p, 476, Blackmer 1914 The
majority in these towns against Weston is 1141.
In ~ towns to hear from, which last year gave
Straw 1876, Weston 1910, Blackmer $50, taking
the vote in the remaining towns as last wear
Weston 1893 of a majority. In these SO towns
he may not overcome this majority. The Coun-
Gil will probably be three Republicans and two
Democrats. The Senate will probably stand
about tie, five Republicans and Eve Demo
Gratis and in two districts probably no choice.

towns not having made election yesterday that

close approximation as to how the Senate
and House will stand at this hour
