November Elections.

The elections throughout the North, on Tues-
day, resulted grandI. and surprisingly in favor
of the Republican party. The people of the North
have at length become aroused to the dangeri
that threaten the country, and are rallying
around the only party that has not failsl in time
of the country's need.
New Hampshire elects a Republican State
ticket by a large majority, Republican Legis-
lature, which chooses a United States Senator
and all three members of Congress- which is q
gain of one.
Massachusetts, elects Republican Governor
over Ben. Butler by 10000 majority, and elects
all the Congressmen-a gain Of two.
Rhode Island elects everything Republican.
Connecticut is revolutiouized. A Republican
Governor is elected, Republican Legislature,
which elects United States Senator, in place
Of Democrat, and three of the four members OF
Congress- gain of two.
New York undergoes q tremendous revolution.
The revolt against Tammauy has aided the Re-
publicans. Tammany is beaten in New York
City by 10000 votes. The Republicans carry the
State by 5000 majority, and gain ten or twelve
Congressman. The Legislature is almost two
thirds Republican, which insures the reelection
of Conkling 10 the Senate.
New Jersey elects Q Republican Legislature,
and the Republicans gain two Congressman.
Pennsylvania elects . Republican Governor
by 10000 majority, and the Legislature is Re-
publican, insuring the reelection of Cameron to
the Senate. The Republicans gain several Con-
gressmen.
The Republicans elect one Congressman in
Maryland-a gain.
Michigan goes Republican by 81, 600 majority
and elects solid Republican delegation to Con.
gress-a gain Of one.
Tl:,.ois goes largely Republican on State tick
ct, elects Republican majority in tho Legisla-
tuFe, ipsuring Senator, and the Republicans
gain several Congressman.
Wisconsin goes largely Republican, and the
Republicans gain Congressman.
Minnesota goes Republican, and elects the
three Republican Congressman.
Missouri goes Democratic, as usual. Crisp is
beaten, in the Kansas City District, by an inde-
pendent Democrat, and David Rea is beaten, in
the St. Joseph District, by Ford, Republican
Greenbacker, and "a more ittener mau."
Kansas goes Republican by about 1000 ma.
jority, elects the three Republican Congressman,
and Legislature more than two-thirds Repub.
lican.
Nebraska goes Republican, for everything.
Nevada goes Republican.
All the Territories, except Idaho, go Republi.
can.
This is the result in the free part of the United
States, where people have a right to vote their
sentiments. In the South, where the Democrat
ic party was to be demoralized by Hayes policy,
there is no freedom of elections, aud the Demo
Gratis have elected everything, except one Re-
publican Congressman in Virginia, and one in
Tennessee.
The elections of Tuesday will almost, if not
quite, give the Republicans majority in the
lower branch of Congress. But We presume,
through the manipulations of the Democratic
Clerk, the organization will be given to the
Democrats, who will proceed to increase their
majority by turning out legally elected Repub.
bers will probably hold the balance of power
but as they will put themselves up to the high
est and best bidder, and the Democrats will
promise them all they ask, they will secure the
aid and cooperation of these incorruptible Re-
formers.
Later news is still better for the Republicans.
They elect two congressman in North Carolina,
being gain of one, and two reported in Ken
lucky, which is gain of two. This will make
the House very close.
