The great contest in New York city be
tween Tammany and anti-Tammany
was decided in favor of the latter. The
only state officer elected was Judge O

New Jersey elects five republican
congressman against three in the forty
fifth congress.

gresham and state ticket. No change
THE SOUTHERN STATES.
The Virginia congressional delega,
ton will remain the same as before.
In North Carolina the congressional
delegation will probably stand six dem
ocrats and two republicans. A demo-
cratic loss of one.
The result in South Carolina was the
election of the entire democratic state
and congressional tickets. This is a
democratic gain Of three congressman.
In Georgia there were no regular re-
publican nominees for cOngress-the
opposition to the democrats combining
on independent democratic candidates.
The result shows that the independents
probably elect three members. The
delegation was solidly democratic in
the forty fifth congress.
In Florida both democratic congress
men are probably elected--a demo
cratic gain Of one. The legislature is
also democratic.
The Alabama delegation to congress
will probably remain solidly democratic,
as will also that of Mississippi.
Louisiana has probably returned a
full democratic congressional delega-
tion-a gain of two. The legislature of
this state is also democratic.
The democratic state ticket in Texas
was elected. The congressional dele
cation Will remain the same, with the
probable exception of the election of
greenbaCker Jones in the fifth district
over Hancock, democrat.
The Arkansas demooratic congress
sIons1 uGIrgatiUrr Will probably be un-
broken.
The Tennessee congressional delega-
ton will stand nine democrats to one
republican-a democratic gain of one.
THE WESTERN STATES.
Michigan elects the republican state
ticket by large majorities, and a solid
republican delegation-a democratic
loss of one.
The Wisconsin delegation to congress
is unchanged, all the present members
being reelected. There were no state
officers in the field. The state legisla-
ture will be largely republican.
Minnesota goes republican as usual
on the minor state officers and the leg
islature. The republican delegation is
broken by the election Of Henry Poeh-
Ter, democrat, over III. 3. Strait, rep,
III the second district.
The Iowa election Of October will not
be changed. There were then elected
seven republicans and two nationls.
In Illinois the probabilities, Nov. 8th,
were that eleven republicans, seven
democrats and one Independent had
been elected to congress. The legisla-
ture is very close with chances of a
slight majority in favor of the republl-
cans.
The Kansas and Nebraska state and
tickets are elected by the
as usual.
Nevada elects republican congress
man and legislature.
THE TERRITORIES.
