The Republicans elect all their congr, ssion-
al candidates, except in the 4th Boston dis
trict where Leopold Morse finds hisindepend-
eut course in Congress yindicat,d in re-
election. The Republicans also carry all the
councillor districts except the 4th where
Charles Mclean the democratic and green
back candidate pulled through. BotL
branches of the Legislature will be Republi-
can by unusually large majorities, only four
opposition candidates being chosen to the
Senate while the House will show Repub-
lcan majority of three-fourths.
In New Hampshire Matt Head, the Repub-
lican candidate, is elected governor by clean
majority over all on the popular yote-a re
suit which fully justifes the enthusiasm
which the Republicans of the State feel over

mously Republican, gain Of one, and the
Legislature is Republican, which ensures

Greenback vote of the State is about 1000
In Connection, there is no election Of STATE
officers by the people. And rcws, Repuili-

In New Jersey the probabilities are that
tie Republicans have carried five Of H.. sew
en- congressional districts and have a majority
in the Assembly. Ez-Secretary Robson is
elected 10 Congress.
From Pennsylvania the returns are by no
means full. bat it is SAFE TO say that the State
has gone Republican by not less than "a, 900
majority and that II Republican ard 10
Democratic members of Congress have been
elected.
Returns from Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois
and Minnesota are incomplete hut rs far as re
ceived they are in every case favorable to the
Republicans. In the South there is, of
course, for the most part clean Democratic
walk-over but not enough returns have been
received to give particulars. Alexander H.

strong movement in his own party last winter
because he was down on the fraud investiga-
ton business, was reelected to Congress from
the Sth Georgia district without opposition.
