The Elections.
The State Election,

just as we 60 to press news arrives
upon which it is fair to presume that
the entire republican ticket in this
State is elected by majorities exceeding
5000. Mr.. Pillsbury will have fully
5000 it seems, and Pf@nder, who is
likely to be the lowest man on the ticket,
will not have less than 5000. The in
dications are that MIR. Donnelly is beat
en- in Dakota county for State senator by
some $50 majority tor Seagraves Smith.
Olmsted county, which has always been
the stronghold of the anti-monopolists
in this State, has gone republican ap-
parently by some 400 or more majority,
the opposition not having elected single
man, according to the returns before US.
Indeed, the returns so far seem to con-
firm what we have said all along, that
it is not possible for the democratic par
II to regain predo1ninance, even if it
does absorb the new parties that spring
up.
Other States.
The intelligence received so far indi-
Gates that New York, Pennsylvania,
Massachusetts and Wisconsin have gone
republican, and that even New jersey
is in doubt. Will not this suffice to con-
vince people that the democratic party
is not the proper one to champion the
rights of the people? That the peo-
pie have no confidence in it? They
should have been satisfied of this before,
but this election is convincing proof.
This County.
The ELEcr1oN.-The weather on
Tuesday was favorable for good turn
out to the election in the city, but rather
too fine for the farmers to leave their
work, and as there was little or no ex-
element, the probabilities are that the
vote in the country is light. In this
city there was considerable feeling,
growing out of an effort directed espec-
tally to defeat Mr.. Robert Deakin, the
republican candidate for State senator.
The friends of his competitor, Mr.. w.
G. Williston, had procured tickets print
ed, which were a good imitation of
and purported to be republican tickets,
but the name of Mr.. Williston was SUBJ
stituted for that of Mr.. Deakin.
This, of course, stirred up the friends
Of the latter gentleman to more active
opposition, and, as it was trick calcu-
lated to deceive and defraud voters, it
no doubt Influenced number to vote
against Mr.. Williston, who might other
wise have cast their votes for him. It
likewise had the effect of stirring up
considerable feeling on the part Of many
fair-minded democrats, who did not
fancy the idea Of having one of their
candidates put so much ahead at the ex-
pense of the others. It was very gener-
ally regarded as discreditable act,
and owes it's success in this instance, no
doubt, more to careless voting than to
the good intentions of voters towards
the successful candidate.
