In New Jersey there was no State ticket
this year, and contest was only for members
of the Legislature and county officers. The
result was a complete victory for the Re
publicans The Assembly, which last year
was strongly Democratic, is now just as de-
cidedly Republican, an entire revolution
having been effected The Senate has a
Republican majority of three. In most of
the counties the Republicans met with good
success.
In New York the candidates for State
officers included Secretary of State, Attor-
ney- General, Controller, &c. For these
positions the Democrats are successful by a
small majority, not exceeding 5000, against

between Tammany Hall and the

Hall was badly beaten. District-Attorney
Phelps and Recorder Hackett were re-elec-
ted by large majorities, with nearly all the

rebuke, and even Governor Tilden is not
as invincible as was generally supposed.
