good report from the November cleo
tions, but the result is much better
than they hoped for. From almost ev-
cry state in the North comes reports of
sweeping victories and grand Republi-
can gains. 1t is yet impossible to give
anything but the general results, but
these show that the Republican party
yet retains it's hold upon the confidence
of the people, and that its infexible po-
sition in favor of honest finances, and
the keeping of the national faith, has
won unmistakable endorsement from
the honest masses. The Greenback de-
fusion cut no considerable figure in the
contest of Tuesday, and it's career as a
national party is practically and inglor-
iously ended.
Glorious old Massachusetts leads the
column with an overwhelming defeat of
the arch demagogue and trickster, Ben
Butler, who is defeated for Governor,
by majority of $4,000 to 10000 Be-
sides this, the Republicans carry every
Congressional district except one, which
is Republican gain of one.
New Hampshire, upon which the
Greenbackers relied for comfort. gives
sweeping Republican victory The
Republican candidate for Governor has
a clear majority over both his Demo-
cratic and Grecnback competitors. All
three of the Republican Congressman
are elected by good majorities, and the
Legislature is Republican, insuring a
Republican Senator in place of Wad-
leigh.
In Connecticut, there being no cleo
ton by the people, the Legislature will
elect the Governor. The Republicans
having elected majority of that body,
insures not only the election of the Re-
publican candidate for Governor, but
also Republican Senator in place Of
Barnum, Democrat. The Republicans
gain two Congressman, one of them the
gallant Gen. Hawley, from the Hart
ford district, who has a plurality Of
1900.
The Empire State has again wheeled
into the Republican column, the Re-
publicans electing their state ticket by
$4,000 majority, a majority of the Leg
islature insuring Republican Senator,
making a gain of Congressman, from
the CITY. In New York City Tammany
has met an overwhelming defeat, Coop
er, the Anti-Tammany candidate for
Mayor having large majority. The
Republicans also carry Brooklyn. The
Congressional delegation will stand, Re
publicans %, Democrats 10, and the Re-
publican majority in the Legislature
will be about 60.
In Pennsylvania the Republican can
didate for Governor will have from
$1,000 to 10000 majority. The
Congressional delegation will probably
stand as at present, II Republicans
and ten Democrats, though the Repub
licans claim a gain of two. The Repub-
lican majority in the Legislature will be
about 40 on joint ballot. The Republi-
can majority in Philadelphia will be
about $1,000. Randall, DEM, is elected
to Congress by reduced majority
Kelley is also elected, though badly
cut.
The Republicans of Illinois did nobly.
They elect their State ticket by hand
some majority, rescue the legislature
from the Democracy and make gain Of
two or three Congressman. But the
highest honors belong to Cook county,
which includes Chicago. A clean
sweep was made by the Republicans, ev-
cry candidate on the county ticket be-
ing elected by large majorities. Be-
sides this three Republican Congress
men were returned, and a majority OF
10000 to l5,OO0 given the State ticket.
1t was splendid victory for honest
government and reform.
New Jersey also makes clean flop
into the Republican ranks, with gain
of two Congressman. The Republicans
also have the Legislature.
Michigan is one of the States upon
which the Fiatists counted confidently
to show great results for their party.
The result is most humiliating to them.
The Republicans make clean sweep Of
the State, electing their Governor by a
decided plurality, a majority of the leg
islature and an unbroken delegation in
Congress, gain of one
The Republicans carry Wisconsin,
though the Congressional delegation
will probably remain unchanged, the
