Look over the Field.

| oAuco Wiling GA s
We are enabled to take look over yes
tsrday's political battle field, and to
note more correctly the general result
Whatever else may be said about the
results there seems to be no doubt Of
the success of the Democratic state
ticket in New York, with the exception
of Governor, though the New YORK
"Times," usually correct in its predio-
tions, at four o'clock this morning,
claimed the election of Hoskins and the
balance of the Republican State officers
by from 5000 to 10000 majority. On
the other hand, the "World" claims
the election of the Democratic State
ticket, except Governor, by 30, COO ma
1lorlty. 1nere Is no ui,pu.r, ho-vvc',
that the Legislature is strongly Repub-
lican in both branches, which insures
gain of United States Senator. The
election of the Democratic State ticket
would indicate that New York ia not Q
certain State to count for the Republic
can candidate next year, and the fact
that it still fingers around the Demo-
cratic fesh-pots is indicative o. an ag-
gressive and earnest campaign next
year. 1t is more than ever demonstrat-
ed that upon New York hangs the cleo
ton of President, unless Indiana, cap.
tured by the Western Republican wave
that swept over Chicago, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Nebraska, Iowa and Ohio,
takes her place in the Republican col
umn, where she naturally belongs
From present appearances next years
battle will be fought in Indiana and
New York, and in the latter under
Republican Governor and Republic
can Legislature. Outside of New York
where the Republicans were partially
successful, they have carried every.
thing in the Northern States with a
rush as if impelled forward by whirl-
wind. Pennsylvania has covered her
self with glory.
The Legislatures of New Jersey and
Connecticut are trophies Of the great
victory. Massachusetts cannot be
made Democratic State though the
pill may be sugar coated with Green
backs and Buffers Establishments.
Wis onsin and Nebraska
have all renewed their allegiance to
The Republican party by giving largely
increased Republican majortes. In
40 ace is a revulsion of political sen.
.iment more prevalent than in Chicago
which yesterday gave 5000 Republican
majority, a Republican gain of about
L3, 600 in one year. The same thing is
Ilso noticeable in Detroit the home of
he Nations dead Statesman, Chand-
or, where municipal change from the
Democrats to the Republicans was ef-
scted. In fact it was victory every
there through the North thewith excap
ion of little job in New York to work
n next year. Turning to the Southern
ectiOn of the political battle field, even {
here, there are evidences that there
not an over confidence in the Solid
outh shot gun policy. In Virginia
olitcal lines were discarded and the
attic was fought upon State finances !

aving been successful This, is however,
ure unauthorized Southern Democra- ;

ratification of a victory with great
, reduced majority which shows that f
Republican victory N that State Is '
OF far in the future. Even in Shot.

ents have bsen successful in many
,unties. This is a glance a. the re- ..
Its of yesterdays political battle ,
hich has resulted virtually in making t
le North solid for the Republicans.
Since writing the above the New :.

aims the following: n
In New York the Republican victory {
overwhelmingly complete. Alonzo a
