will stand three republicans. gain of
one for the republicans. -..
In Connecticut Andrews, rep, is
elected over Hubbard, DEM, for COVER
nor. The congressional delegation will
stand three republicans and one dem
ocrat-a democratic loss of two con-
gressmen. The state legislature is re-
publican and hence will elect a republi-
can u. S. senator TO fill the place of
Barnum, dem.
Rhode Island elects two republican
congressman. No change in her dele
I cation.
Vermont elects a republican in the
third congressional district where an
election failed to be consummated in
October. No change in the delegation.
THE MIDDLE STATES.
In New York the congressional dele
cation which stood II rep. to Is dem
ocrats in the forty-fifth congress, has
been largely changed In favor of the re-
publicans, they probably having elected
twentv-four out of the thirty-three. The
great contest in New York city between
Tammany and antl-Tammany was de-
cided in favor Of the latter. The only
state officer elected was a Judge Of the
court of appeals which was carried by
the republicans, and Danforth elected
by from 5000 to $4,000 ma ority. The
legislature is republican and will prob
ably re-elect Conkling.
New Jersey elects five republican
congressman against three in the forty
fifth congress.
In Pennsylvania the republican state
ticket is elected by upwards of 10000.
The congressional delegation remains
about the same as before. There will
probably be sixteen republicans, two
greenback republicans, eight democrats
and one greenback democrat.
Delaware elects a democratic con-
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 congress
men.
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-tifth 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 democratic congress
sional delegation will probably be un-
broken.
The Tennessee congressional delega-
ton will stand nine democrats to one
republican, democratic gain Of one.

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 willsbe largely republican.
Minnesota goes republican as usual
on the minor state officers and the leg
islaturc. The republican delegation is
broken by the election of Henry Poeh-
Ter, democrat, over H. B. Strait. rep,
in the second district. ...
| The Iowa election of October will not
be changed. There were then elected
seven republicans and two nationals.
In Illinois the probabilities, Nov. Sth,
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 repub-
| licans. ...r
In Missouri the democrats elect a
solid congressional delegation-a gain
| of four. The state ticket was also car
ried by the democrats by large ma
iorities. s. t.-
| The Kansas and Nebraska state and
congressional tickets are elected by the
