The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1877-11-07

Elections took place yesterday in twelve
States. In almost every instance they were
for general tickets
In New York the whole Democratic
State ticket is undoubtedly elected. The
majority will be less than was given
10 Mr.. TuDEN for President last fall,
and more than was cast for the Demo-
cratic State officers two years ago. The
vote for the ticket nominated by the Bread
Winners aud Grccnbackcrs aud other classes
of workingmon, il unexpectedly largo in
several localities in the interior of the
state. At the hour when this page OF
THE sun goes TO press the Legislature is in
doubt Later dispatches in other columns
will give specific information on this point.
The aggregate vote in the whole State will
be- light.
In Massachusetts,, RICE, Republican can-
hidate for Governor, is reelected by a plu-
rahty Of about ten thousand. He will not
have majority OF the whole vote cast. As
the State gave more than 1000 majority for
HAYES, the election yesterday il very Sc
rious falling of, and heavy blow TO the
Republicans.
Connecticut does not elect state ticket
this year. The contest was only for a por-
tion Of the Legislature The Republicans
controlled the last Legislature, and the re-
turns now Indicate that they will have n
majority Of the incoming Legislature.
In New Jersey the contest for the Cover
norship was between Gen. MCCLELLAN,
Danocrat, and cx-Gov. NEWELL. Repuhli-
can. The returns are not complete, but they
show that MCCLELLAN Is certainly elected,
and by probable majority Of about 10000.
One of the ficrccst battles OF the campaign
was in Pennsylvania. The indications are
that the State has gone 10000 majority for
the Democrats. This is a very heavy blow
OF the Republican party and the fraudulent
Administration of HAYES.
In Maryland the only State candidate to
be elected was for the Office Of Comptroller.
THOMAS J. HEATING, the Democratic nomi-
nee is undoubtedly elected 10y a very large
majority.
In Virginia there was no opposition to tho
Democratic State candidates. The Republi-
cans placed no ticket in the field. OF course
therefore, HOLIDAY, the Democratic can
didate for Governor, and his associates Oh
the ticket, have swept the field.
The same condition Of things existed in
Mississippi. The Republicans made n,
nominations for state officers. The Con
sorvatvcDcmocratic candidate FOR Gov
ernor was john NJ. STONE, the present in
cumbcnt OF that Office. He and those on TIA,
ticket with him have received a heavy vote
and are elected without opposition.
The returns from Wisconsin are very in
complete but such as are at hand indcat,
the success of the Democrats MALLORY
the Democratic candidate for Governor, i.
believed to be elected on a plurality vote
The Grccnbackers in the State pollcd an IN
expcctcdly large vote
Kansas and Nebraska have gone Republic
can. Of course, but by ma orities far below
The usual figures.
We can only estimate tho result In Mime
Sofa from "a tow scattering returns. W.
shall not be- surprised if later figures show
that this always strong Republican state /.
now very close, and perhaps has gone Dem
Ocratc.
The foregoing details show that the drit
Of the tide In these elections is steadily an,
strongly in favor Of the Democracy.
