THE ELECTIONS,
Massachusetts

Baker, l, 426; scattering, %. The falling
OFT IN the Democratic vote is a surprise
to the friends of that party
The Journals footings of 100 towns
show that Rice gains $500 votes and
Castor loses Z, 100. In these towns Rice
leads CASTOR 1900, and the Journal con-
tidently claims the election of Rice bv
an increased majority
THE HERALD GIVES RICE 10000 MA
JORITY.
BOSTON, Nov. 6. The Herald comedies
Rlce's election by at least 10000 majority.
The footings of fifteen towns show that
Rice leads Castor by 1882 votes, being
gain for Rice in those towns of 1851.
castor loses 2,77O votes. Pitman, pro-
hlbitionst, gains over the vote for Baker
last year, 1900 votes, which seems to
have been drawn from the Democrats,
rather than the Republicans. The Jour
nal claims Rice's election by 1000 to 49,
900 plurality, which is probably not wide
OF the mark. The Legislature is largely
Republican and the Council nearly solid
Republican.
BOsToN, Nov 7-l:3O A. NJ. Returns
from the State complete save ls small
towns give Rice $500; CASTOR, II $50 ::
Pitman, Prohibition, 1895; Phillips,
Greenback, :3,452.
Connecticut
HARTFORD, Nov. g. The election in
Connecticut to-day is only for Sheritfs,
members of the House of Representatives
and one-half the Senate, the other half
holding over from last year Last year
the Republicans had one majority in the

tons, so far as returns have been received.
are that the Republicans will retain con-
troll Of the Legislature. The vote in the
State is of course light compared with
elections for State officers or for Presi-
dent, and the comparisons of the total
vote with previous wears are of little
value. The Republican majority in the
Legislature will probably be about the
same as last year.
HARTFORD, Nov. s. The Republicans
have gained the 18th district and LIST.
The 18th is Senator Barnum's home, and
has been Democratic for years. The House
will stand about the same as last year
from IS to 40 Republican majority.
New York.
NEW YORK. Nov. 6-S2O p. NJ. Hess
Is running ahead of his ticket, and to all
appearances is sure to defeat Loew for
Register. Hogan, Ecclesnie and Wag-
staff are elected to the Senate. Forty
one election districts in the 9TH Senate
rial District gave Morrissey 4123, Schell
2S64. Returns from forty-twO districts
in the State, outside of the cities of New
York and Brooklyn indicate that the
vote of the interior is not far different
from that of 1875, when Bigelow, Demo-
crat. had 800 majority for Secretary
of State. The State election Of this year
evidently depends on the vote Of New
York and Brooklyn, which gave Bigelow
respectively 10000 and $500 majority
The result in the State is believed to be
very close
9 ?. NJ. AS far as heard from four
Tammanyites and three combination can
didates are elected to the Assembly from
this city, the latter including young As
tor. The 18th election district in Brook
lyn shows a Republican majority on the
State ticket of 449
10 p. NJ. Returns received from the
larger part OF the city show that Loew is
elected Register without doubt. Tam
many carries majority Of its ticket in
the Assembly and Aldermanic districts
ll.W F. NJ. The indications at this
hour are that the Republican State ticket
is elected by a small majority. The
Democratic majority in this city is under
10000 and in Kings County under 1000
and perhaps not over g. 10. This shows
Democratic loss of from ZOO to ii 900
as compared with the vote of 1875, while
the returns from the interior indicate the
rest OF the majority of that year has been
overcome.
\. NJ. Complete returns from the
city, except two assembly districts, give
Beach II sos; Churchill, Al 1855 Demo-
cratic majority, 3d. 1873, which is likely TO
be somewhat increased.
New Jersey
NEW YORK, Nov. g. Reports from
New Jersey indicate that Mcclellan will
have 10000 majority for Governor.
NEWARK, Nov. 5. Scattering returns
from the State indicate the election OF
Mcclellan and Democratic majorities in
both branches of the Legislature, but it
is impossible to state particulars.
Maryland.
BALTIMORE Midnight. The election
III this city to-day was the most quiet
ever held and the vote comparatively
light. The only State officer to be elect
ed was Comptroller of Treasury and the
vote resulted Heating, Dem), % ,6o7;
Porter, 6,397; total vote, 81, over
1000 less than at the municipal election
last week. McLane's Dem) majority
for State Senator is ), 226, and the Demo-
Gratis elect the entire city delegation OF
Ia members in the House of the next
Legislature. The Republicans had no
ticket for members of the Legislature.
Pennsylvania.
NEW YORK, Nov g. A private des-
patch from Philadelphia, dated $50 p.
NJ. says; Just begun to receive indica-
tions which show results favorable to the
Democrats Chester county gives about
1000 Republican majority. A Republi-
can loss of 900 in Queens county gives
800 Democratic majority.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 70 A. M. In
complete returns from 43 counties, with
null returns from the city and county of
Philadelphia, give a Democratic gain on
the vote for State Treasurer of 2O644
The same counties gave a majority of TO-
!I33 for Hayes.
CHICAGO, Nov. 3. The vote in this
county has been light and the day passed
nneventfully. Up to L o'clock to night,
returns from the city give McRea, Repub-
lican County Treasurer, 6,24O; Lynch
Democrat, $685.. These figures are from
Is out of 1l3 precincts and indicate a
very close vote in the city with the proba-
blities in favor of Democratic candi-
date. But as towns outside will give
some 800 Republican Majority, it is con-
tidently expected by the Republicans that
they will overcome the majority
Minnesota.
ST. PAUL, Nov. 6. Mr.. Pillsbury, the
Republican candidate for Governor, has
gained in this city over Banning, Demo-
crat, and the indications are that a small
