The Noyember Elections.


The result of the elections held on the
first TUESDAY OF November in twelve
States, was on the whole more favorable
to the Republicans than was anticipated.
The Ohio defeat OF October was not fol-
lowed up. but on the contrary the advan-
tsge is now more decidedly with the Re
publican party. Il is true that the great
State of Pennsylvania has changed fronts
in politics. but the local troubles in iha,
State are sufficient 10 account for this, and
it is believed that the triumph OF Democra-
cy there will be bu. temporary. On the
other hand. in all the other States where
Republicans had any expectations. they
have done far better than they hoped.
MASSACHUSETTS.
Gov. Rice has been reelected over an
opposition OF four or five other candidates.

ality Of Is. 900 against a majority last year

nor by plurality of II 90, and the Legi'-
lature Is Democratic by a small majority.

past has been Democratic. give. this yesr

The Legislature is strongly Republican
In both branches, and at ITS next session
will elect n successor 10 the present Dem
ocratic Senator. Barnum.
PENNSYLVANIA.
The Democratic plurality In this State
will be about 1900 for State Treasurer
The Democratic plurality for Supreme
Court Judge will be much less.
In Maryland, Virginia and Mississippi
the Democrats Of course had everything
their own way. But in Minnesota, Wis
consin. Kansas and Nebraska, the Repnb-
lieaus elected their tickets by majorities
ranging from S 900 TO 10000. Some OF the
above States gave larger Republican ma
torities than ever before.
