Ten or eleven states held elections yes
terday, and, while the result is in genera
favorable to the democrats, they are no
like the Ohio election call on one side,
In New York the democrats are report
ed to have chosen their state ticket by
majority of 10000, and to have small
majority in the house of representatives
while the republicans keep the senate by
majority of two or more. The dispatches
do not say whether the 10000 majority
is for Beach, tho candidate for secretary
of state, or for other more popular mer
on the democratic ticket So it is not yet
certain whether the last years majority o.
10000 has been reduced half or not. New
York city gives 10000 democratic majori'
ty. The contest in the seventh senatorial
district between John Morrissey and
Schell resulted in Morrissey's victory by
5000. He was supported by the anti-Tam'
many democrats and the republicans
while Boss Kelly made u point of it To
have Morrissey beaten
Pennsylvania returns indicate the ecc-
ton of the democratic state ticket by ten
OF twelve thousand majority, The repub-
licans there have been by the cars for some
time and although the convention Of the
party was not rs much Of an Indignation
meeting upon Hayes and his policy rs the
New York convention was, yet there was
SO much dissatisfaction that The state has
been lost.
New Jersey elects Gen Mcclellan gov
ernor by u majority variously reported ut
5000 to 12000 The Legislature will be
very close. "I,ittlc Mac will make u
very good governor we have no doubt and
is to be congratulated that at least he has
obtained q good political place. His amb'
ton seems to have been somewhat directed
in that way for the last fifteen years.
In Wisconsinthc contest between Smith,
republican, and Mallory, democrat, is very
close, and official returns may be neccs-
sary to decide the matter. This calls 10
mind the fact that there has been some
talk from our democratic friends about
returning boards within year OF two
In fact democrats have said more about
the Louisiana returning board in one year
than they have in twenty-five years about
the Wisconsin performance Of their own
by which certain governor was counted
in.
Nebraska is republican, and Kansas and
Minnesota arc the same, the vote being
rather light and the majoritics about as
usual. Virginia and Maryland 90 demo-
cratic of course.
Connecticut voted for members of the
state house Of representatives and onc-half
the state senators. The republicans have
chosen a majority Of the house and have
gained two senators, The several cOun-
lies also elected sherilts and the rcpubl-
can majority on the whole vote of the state
is estimated to be 100.
The Massachusetts election excited
more than usual interest because of the
full approval given the administration in
the republican platform. The prolibi.
ZIONIST candidate, Judge Ptman had de-
nounccd the southern policy of the prcsi-
dent and many of the dissatisfied republic
cans were known to be determined to vote
for him or Castor direct. The battle has
been fought squarely on the Worcester
platform and the result can be but crafty
ing to the administration. Gov. Rice GETS
about 10000 votes, Castor 10000, Pilman
1900 and Phillips 1000. Two years ago
Rice had $4,000 TO $1,000 for Castor.
Lust year the vote was much greater and
the majority of course proportionally Iarg-
CT. The state senate will stand 81 repub-
licans to democrats. The critics of the
president would have consoled themselves
greatly on the defeat of Rice and his sue
cess on u platform SO squarely and strong
ly endorsing the civil service and southern
policies Of the president is altogether Us
noticeable n feature rs Yesterdays cleo
tons afford.
