NEW JERSEY.

Jersey City, Hoboken, and the adjoining
townships we're as much excited over this cleo
ton as New York city. The Democratic County
Committee had provoked great deal o; criti-
cism by their alleged interference to control the
county nominations. Several leading Demo-
Gratis canvassed openly for the Republican nom
inees for Congressman and Sheriff. Patrick H.
Laverty. the Democratic nominee for Congress-
man. was catechised by Father Killeen of Bay
onne as TO whether. although Roman Catholic.
ho was not also Free Mason. Mr.. Laverty is
said to have made an eyaslve answer. which led
to an issue OF veracity between him and Father
kieen. and lost him many votes.
John Mullins, he Democratic nominee for
Sheriff. and now tLA President OF Jersey City's
Board OF Finance. was hod-carrler in that
city a few years Aso. He aiterward engaged in
business. and by intelligent energy became one
OF the wealthy men OF Jersey City
The Republican nominee for Congress. Lewis
X. Brigham. Ia a lawyer in New York Of good
repute. and who made n creditahle stand in tho
New Jersey Republican Assembly caucus three
years ago against the proposition to support
Secor Robson for the United States Senate.
He suffered. however from the hostility Of the
liquor interest. Col. Toffey. the Republican
nominee for Sheriff. is q cattle dealer. He Ia n
popular young man. and has an excellent war
record.
The full vote OF Hudson County had not boon
received at late hour. but II is toleraby GER

CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-Despatches received
from the interior OF the State up to this hour 10
o'clock. indicate that tho Republicans have
elected their candidate for State Treasurer by q
majority which may be stated roughly at ten
thousand. The actual count will probably fall
under this figure. This was the only import

test OF the party strength in popular election.

The indications are that the Senate will be al

An Outpouring OF Enthusiasm in Irving Hall

No more joyous and enthusiastic multi

The hall was filled before O'clock but II was
not until 7;45 that tho news began to pour in in
all its convincing power At 7:45 Secretary
Alfred Il. Acker announced in stentorian tones
that the election of Edward Cooper was an as
sured fact. The cheers and yells Of those in
side the hall were taken up and repeated with
ton-fold power by the outside multitude. 1t was
nearly o'clock before the cheering subsided.
and even after that time thore were frequent
outbursts of enthusiastic cheering. for which
there was no immediate cause. Chairman
Emanuel b. Hart tried hard to gain
hearing. but he might as well
have spoken to a hurricane. or tried

sensible man, he bided his time. and when at

BosToN. Nov. 5.-rhe total vote OF Massa-

reach the enormous aggregate OF 270.000. or
the $40 towns Ia the State. returns are now at
hand from 235 towns and cities. These. by 4
hasty computation. give Talbot 12l.377. and
Butler 101 .Ss3. Leopold Morse is reelected to
Congress- in the Fourth District by the aid OF
Republican votes. Notwithstanding the attempt
OF portion Of the Greenbackers to sell him out
Boston gives Butler 4 700 plurality.
The crowds around the streets are as eager
and enthusiastic a. upon the evening OF the
Presidential election. All the evening papers
publish extras until midnight, and most OF them
have Illuminated bulletins. which have kept
such throngs in the streets as to almost block
horse-car travel.
Talbot is surely elected by $4,000 to $4,000
plurality. All Of the Republicans for State OIL
GERS arc elected also for Councillors. except in
the Fourth District. where Mclean Is probably
defeated. Further returns indicate that all the
Congressional Districts are carried by the Re-

election OF Mr.. ConKling to the United States
