The November Contest.

The predictions made were as
nearly verified as generally falls to
political speculations. The Demo-
cratic State ticket in New York
was carried by a good majority.
Little New Jersey elects Little
Mac governor by about 10000
majority, and both branches of the
legislature.
But the greatest surprise, to Re-
publicans particularly. is the res lit
in Pennsylvania, the State having
gone Democratic by from 10000 to
$4,000 majority. While it was adj
mitted that there was considerable
apathy amoung the Republicans in
that State, they were not prepared
for such an overwhelming rout.
Maryland, Virginia and Missis-
sippi elected their Democratic
tickets with the usual majorities.
The Republicans were successful
in Wisconsin, although their
majority is largely reduced. The
Democrats charge their defeat to
the existance Of greenback ticket
which drew largely from the Dem
ocratic ranks.
We do not believe that any in
telligent observer Of political events
will for q moment entertained the
idea that Massachusetts, would de-
part from her allegiance to the Re-
publican standard. Their majority
on State ticket will probably reach
ton thousand and possibly more.
The outlook in Connecticut IL
Republican, both branches OF the
legislature being claimed by them.
Kansas and Minnesota elect Re-
publican tickets, as expected.
On the whole the Democracy
have very good cause to congratu-
late themselves over the result.
