THE ELECTIONS.
Elections were held in eleven States OF
Tuesday last.

ueSudy last
New York.
The election was for Secretary of State,
the Legislature and county officers. The
indications seem to point to the election of
Bigelow, the Liberal Republican Democrat,
by majority of 5000 or 4, 600, being a re-
duction of about 10000 since last year.
The Republicans have about ~ majority in
the Senate and 16 in the House. Schroe-
der, Republican, is elected Mayor of Brook
Ign by about l, 800 majority. In New York
City the combined forces of the Republi-
cans and honest Democrats defeated Tam
many Hall by majority of some 10000.
1t was grand days work for the Empire
State. Among those elected to the State
Senate is John Morrssey, of faro bank
notoriety.
Pennsylvania.
In this State the contest was for State
and county officers. The Republicans elect
Hartranft and Rawle by about $4,000 ma
jority. In the counties great gains have
been made over last year. This result may
be taken as pretty fair index as to what
will follow next year. TIE majority for
the Republicans would have been perhaps
several thousand greater had not party
of the temperance folks considered them
selves MORALLY grieved by Gov. Hartranft
signing the bill to repeal the local option
law last Winter, and placed ticket of
their own in the field. How many votes
they succeeded in drawing off does not yet
appear.
Massachusetts.
In this State the regular Republican
ticket was successful in spite of all the COM
plications of four other tickets, three of
them designed to draw off Republican votes.
Alexander II. Rice, for Governor, and the
whole Republican State ticket, is elected
by majorities ranging from 1000 to 1O,-
600 over Governor CASTOR, and the Demo
cratic State ticket The Republicans, who
had two-thirds of the Legislature last year
will now have three fourths. Thus the old
Bay State resumes the place which Demo
Gratis last year declared she had abandoned
in the Republican column.
New Jersey.
| In New Jersey there was no State ticket,
but in the election of members of the Leg
islature a most tremendous Republican
tidal wave is manifested. Last year the
Democrats had the House of Representa-
tives by % majority, but returns from every
county shows Republican gains every where
except in the State Senate. In that body
the Republicans lose two members, but in
the Assembly they have a majority of 10,
against a Democratic ma jority of 90 in the
last Legislature. This gives them ma
jority of Is on joint ballot, against Dem
ocratic majority Of II in the last Assembly.
New Jersey, taking her general vote, is
Republican by large majorty-an i'm
mense gain.
Wisconsin.
The Republican candidate for Governor,
Harrison Ludington, together with the
whole State ticket, was elected by 5000 to
5000, gain from the last Governors cleo
ton of $4,000 to 10000. The Republicans
will probably have majority of 80 in the
Legislature on joint ballot.
Kansas.
In Kansas the Republicans have elected
nearly two thirds of the Legislature.
Minnesota.
In Minnesota the majority for the Repub-
lican State ticket is about 10000. The Re-
publicans have majority in the Legisla-
ture.
Mississippi.
The election was for Congressman and
county officers. The reign of terror which
was organized by the Democrats has done
its intended work. The colored element,
which constitutes large majority, was but
sparsely represented at the polls on Tues
day, through fear of violence. AS con-
sequence, the Democrats have five of the
six members of Congress and large ma
jority in the Legislature. The Chairman
of the State Executive Committee had the
impudence to telegraph over the country
that every doubtful county had been car
ried, clearly showing that intimidation had
done it's work.
Virginia.
The election was for members of the
General Assembly, and resulted in about
the usual Conservative-that's the name
there-majority in both branches. Among
those elected to the State Senate was Brad
ley F. johnson.
Maryland.
BY the frauds of Baltimore City, Anne
Arundel and some other counties, the Ring
State ticket is pronounced elected by Is, 900
majority. The Republicans and Reformers
will have 6 members in the Senate, and 81
in the House, which will be very strong
minority at least and which may be able
to do something to interfere with the lavish
expenditure of the peoples money that has
characterized the legislatures for several
terms past.
The following table of majorities on the
vote for Governor in the counties, which
will not be greatly changed by the official
returns, shows that outside of the fraudu-
lent vote of Baltimore city, Mr.. Harris
would have been elected:
REFORM MAJORITY. DEM. MAJORITY.
Allegany, Sig Kent 60
Baltimore, 1,G40 Montgomery, 1856
Frederick, 1913 Prince Georges, 112
Carroll, 1875 Anne Arundel 600
Charles, 46 Hartford, 200
