Our dispatches this morning setforth the de-
tails of yesterdays elecrous The result is de
cidedly cheering to Republicans. Not only has
Butler been overwhelmed in Massachusetts and
Tammany in New York city, but consid-
cradle gains of congressman have been
made in the Northern states. The
GreeDback party has developed very little
strength in the East and the signs of decay OF
that mu>hroom organization which appeared
in the October elections have become more
numerous and striking. Even in the unusual
ly close state of New Hampshire they have
failed to prevent an election by the people and
though they have accomplished this apparent
" in Connecticut their vote is too small to give
them any encouragement for the future. In
the third Vermont district Barlow, whom they
supported, is elected, but his strength was de-
rived principally frem Republicans who were
disaffected with the action of the convention
that nominated Circuit, the regular Republican.
In the West they do not seem to have done
much better, except in Michigan, where they
have thrown large vote. Their boosted 200,-
600 votes in New York dwindled down to al
most nothing. In Pennsylvania their strength
seems to have been greatly overestimated.
In New Hampshire the Rspubl leans elect
their governor, the Legislature, which will
choose United States Senator, and the full
Congressional delegation. which is "a gain of
one In Massachusetts Talbot has 10000 plu-
rality, and ten out of eleuhn Congressman are
Republican, a gain of one. In Conr ecticut
there is no election of governor by the people,
but the Legislature is Republican, which en-
sures the choice of Rspublican governor and
United States Senator. The Congressional
delegation sands Republicans to one Demo.
crat, Republican gaia of two. Gen. Hawley
is oue of those elected Rhode Island elects a
full Republican delegation. In New York
Tammaoy's candidate for Mayor is defeated by
10 900 majority. The Republicans gain two
Cougressmen in the city. The Assembly is
reelection to tbs Senate almost certain. The
Congressional delegation is composed of %
Republicans, Ant;-Tsmmany and Demo-
Gratis, q Republican gain of g. In New
Jersey the Republicans gain two congressman
and choose majority of the Assembly. The
election OF Gen. Hoyt, Republican candidate
for governor of Pennsylvania, is conceded by
the Democrats by 10 900, while the Republic
caus claim % 000 Mr.. Randall is elected to
Congress by diminished majority, and Mr..
Kelley's popularity in his district seems to be
waning, though he is probably elected
Wright and Clymer are re- elected
Returns are not sufficient to indicate the COM
piexion of the Congressional delegation, but
the Republicans have probably made some
gains. The Republicans had no ticket in Del
aware. 10 Maryla they have gained Cor.
gresham. The Virginia delegation will stand
as last year, eight Democrats and one Republic
can. Republicans lose ope Congressman in
Tennessee In the other Southern States the
Democrats have probably had everything their
own way. Their bulldozing tactics have de-
feated the Republican Congressional:c candidates
in Florida and Louisiana, and probably in South
Carolina.
Returns from the West are very meagre. In
Illinois the Republicans carry Cook county,
which includes Chicago, and choose their Con.
gre,smen. The delegation will probably stand
ID Republicans to 9 Democrats gain of two
Republicans. Ia Michigan che Greenback vote
is quite large. Croswell, Republican candidate
for Governor, will have plurality, but will
probably fail of majority.
Returns from the Wisconsin and Minnesota
congressional districts are not complete. Ne
braska gives largely increased Republican
majority. In New York, New Hampshire,
Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey,
Maryland and Illinois the Republicans gain IA
Congressman.
