| BOsToN, Nov. 14.-The vote in Massachu-
sots last week is extraordinary, first OF ALL from its
magnitude II Is much larger than either party anoi
pated te Democrats have made the largest proper
tiona Increase They have almost doubled their vote Of
four years and have carried its figures above 1O0
600 The Republican majority, which was over 10000
in 1872 and nearly $4,000 in 1868 Is cut down to 49,
00o little less than i;s amount in 1860. Republican
control In the Legislature has never at any time been
threatened. When the Democrats chose the Governor
in 1874 they had not than third OF the Senate aud
House, and this year they have more than fifth OF
either body The only serious Republican loss is in Bos-
ton Outside Of the city the State fully asserts her Re
publican faith. Only aud then a scattering Demo-
erat il elected to the Legislature, and the five Congress

Gen Butler owes his own scat the revival OF the
dislike of the Democrats and distrus of the South,
which remains after the issues between the two
parties have lost their significance in most other re-
