$4,000 votes, an unusual increase ever last
year, when the combined vote for the
Greenback and Prohibition ticket was only
1900, Wendell Phillips, the candidate of
two parties, received 3,41l votes. The
Democrats are enraged, and say they were
sold out in Boston.
The returns from the State of Pennsyl-
vania show a percentage OF losses on the
Republican vote that indicate the election
OF the Democrats State ticket by consid
cradle ma iorty. A large vote was cast for
Greenback ticket in Schuylkill and
LuZerne counties and throughout the min
ing regions. The majority for Turnkey,
the Democratic candidate for Supreme
Judge, will be about 5000.

General McClellan's plurality in New
Jersey is about 10000. The Legislature
has Democratic majority of nine on joint
ballot, gain of three for the Democrats.
The Democratic majority in New York
is about $4,000. Morrissey has defeated
Schell, and the contest on the local ticket
is close and the result doubtful. The
Times publishes list of members elect
ed to the Legislature, which makes
it stand follows: Senate-Twenty Re
pubicans, twelve Democrats. Assembly
Sixty eight Republicans, fifty nine Demo
Gratis, and Labor Reformer. Republican
majority on joint ballot 16. The Sun says
the Republicans will have ma GRITTY in the
Senate. In the Assembly indlcat ions are
that the Democrats have a slim aiority,
though the Republicans claim it. 1t will
require the complete vote in some of the
close rural districts to determine the result.
The majority for Beach in the State will be
about l.. 900 though it may fall below that
figure. Beacher runs several thousand be-
hind his ticket.
The Republican majority in Wisconsin
is greater than that given Hayes last year,
and may reach 10000. The Democrats
charge their defeat to their Endorsement of
the Greenback platform. The Greenback
party is thought to have polled 10000
votes and to hold the balance of power in
the Legislature.
Nebraska is republican by from 5000 to
5000 majority. Returns from Mississippi
Virginia., Minnesota, and Kansas are still
meagre, but show that the two former are
Democratic, and two latter Republican by
the usual ma jorities. Returns from Ken
sas and Minnesota indicate large Repubil-
can majorties. The Republican majority
III Minnesota is estimated at from 10, 1000 to
$1,000. In Mississippi little interest was
manifested, as there was no opposition to
the nominees of the Democratic State
ticket. In a few counties an attempt was
made to elect independents, but with a
solitary exception, Marshall county, where
the independents elect their entire ticket,
the attempt was unsuccessful.
Connecticut has been carried by the Re-
publicans by 1900 majority. They have
made gains in the Senate and House, and
will have both branches by increased ma
,jorities. The Senate stands II Republicans
and Democrats, counting the LIST district a
tie, or IS to 8, giving the LIST to the Repub-
licaus. Returns of the PIT Representatives
elect show 1919 Republicans, and IS Demo
Gratis. This leaves IS to be heard from,
which will probably reduce the Republican
majority four or five votes. The Republi-
cans are greatly elated over the result.
They claim that it insures Republican
majority in the Legislature which will elect
Senator Barnums successor, or, as they
put it, that it will cost Barnum a great
deal more money to be elected next time
than it did last year. The continuance of
the present election law, which the Demo
Gratis would have repealed if. they had car
ried the Legislature, the Republicans say,
makes the State surely Republican next
year.
Comment at Washington shows that the
Republicans are agreeably surprised at the
result. The Southern Democrats are glad
that Tammany's power is no greater, and
that General Mcclellan has not majority
enough to make him a Presidential candi,
date.
