TGE LEGIsIATuRE STRONGLY REPUBLICAN, DEMO
CRATIC State TICKET PROBABLY ELEorED NEW
JERSEY, PENNSYLVANIA, HIsCoNhlN, MINNESOTA,
AND KANSAS ALI. REPUBLICAN.
From all the States which held elections on
Tuesday, the returns which continue to come in
show that the anticipatons of a Republican VIC
tory have been fully realized 1t is not only a
victory but great and sweeping one. Every
where the Republicans report heavy
gains In some places the large Democratic
majorities of last year have been changed to
the Republican side of the column ; in Others
they have been reduced almost to nothngness
This is the case in New York State. Though
the latest returns, contrary to common expec-
tation, show an apparent majority OF 5000 on
tile State ticket for the Democrats, whom it is
considered that last year Mr., Tilden was elected
by $4,000 majority, it will be seen that a
substantial Republican victory has been
small thing, and 1t should be remembered that
even this small majority may be still further re-
duced by the official canvass. Apart from the
State ticket, the Republican success ID 80 pro-
nolinced as to leave nothing to be desired. The
Legislature is strongly Republican. The SEN
ate stands; Twenty-Five Republicans to ten
Democrats the Assembly. seventy eight Re-
publicans to fifty Democrats. Last year the tg-
ures were Senate, eighteen Republicans,
twelve Democrats, and two Independents tile
Assembly, ifty-three Republicans to seventy
five Democrats.
Another Republican success of the most pro-
nonnced character is recorded by tNew Jersey.
No State ticket was run and the contest was on
Legislators and county officers Thesresult has
brought the State on6e more into the Republi-
can fold. Both branches of the Legislature have
Republican Inajorties- the Senate standing
twelve to nine the Assembly thirty seven to
twenty-tnree, gain of eighteen Assembly
men by the Republicans as compared with last
year. This is really an immense gain, and COM
pletely reverses the majorities of last year on
Joint ballot. The Democrats had a majority OF
seventeen, this year the same majority on joint
ballot has swung over to the Republicans. On
the general county tickets the Republicans car
ried thirteen, the Democrats eight of the coun-
ties. New Jersey has been Democratic State
Tuesdays election completely redeemed il. The
popular vote was overwhelmingly Republican.
The Cook county (ncluding Chicago,) cleo
ton WAS carried by the Republicans. their cam
didate for Treasurer, for which office thera was
the seyerest contest, having over four Thousand

In Kansas. the Legislature elected ID about
two-thirds Republican, and large Republican
gains are reported from some of the counties,
Including Atchison.

TRAINS SOON TO RUN THE WHOLE LENGTH OF THE
ROAD - PREPARATIONS FOR THE OPENING AT
OXFORD.
The Easton Le,lqer says that j. L..
Caldwell, Superintendent OF the Mary
land and Delaware Railroad, has for
some time past had force OF from 90 to 30 men
at work repairing and putting in complete order
the track between Easton and Oxford, and has
contradiction the piles to build pier at that
place, which will be constructed without delay.
The pier will be 620 feet long, wide enough for
two tracks, with head 100 feet wide by so
feet in depth, giving an area Of
5000 square feet for the unloading and handling
of freight at the end of the pier. Mr.. Caldwell
designs soon running the cars regularly to Ok
ford, and expects to develop large grain trade
from along the line of the road to Baltimore by
that route. making the cost of transhpment ex-
ceedingly light, and giving the benefit of large
portion of cheap water carriage. The oyster
trade will also probably be greatly increased by
the opening of the route.
The track has been laid to Oxford for several
years. but the cars have been rnnning no further
than Easton.
