The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1879-11-13

his ticket probably 1000 votes, while
Pillsbury has run correspondingly be-
hind on the Republican ticket.
CONNECTICUT.
A very light vote was cast in Connec-
ticut. The election was for the Legis-
lature only, and for the Senate. Eiec-
tions were held in only eleven of the
twenty-one districts. OF the latter the
Republicans elect ten and the Demo-
Gratis one. OF the Senators elected last
year who hold over this year, seven are
Republicans and three Democrats, 50
that the Senate will stand: Seventeen
Republicans and four Democrats. TIE
House will probably stand about 1853 to
SO, or a majority of between 60 and 20
on joint ballot. The Legislature now
elected does not choose a United States
Senator, but the Senators now elected
hold over till next year, and will vote
for a Senator to succeed Mr.. Eaton.
WISCONSIN.
Wisconsin has gone Republican by
5000 to 10000 majority against 5000
two years ago. Milwaukee city and
county gives a Republican majority of
1884, a Republican gain of 2 900 over
two years ago. Although such a pre-
diction seemed unreasonable before the
election, the late Hon. 2. Chandler had
placed his estimate atthe above figures.
A late dispatch says: One hundred
aud thirty-nine, towns and cities, in
Guiding Milwaukee, show a net Repub-
lican gain of S,677 oyer the vote of two
years ago.. Smith, Republican, for Gov
ernor, has a majority of 1900 SO far,
with half the State to hear from. His
majority is safely estimated at %, 600,
and with a strong probability of q, 600.
The Assembly and Senate is largely Re-
publican. Ex-St&te Treasurer Kuehn,
chairman of the Democratic Central
Committee. was defeated for the As
sembly by more than 200 majority, the
district giving him four years ago 900
majority.
MICHIGAN.
The election in Michigan was a local
one. Dispatches from Detroit announce
a Republican gain in that city of 3,O0b,
the Republicans electiDg their candi-
date for Mayor, w. G. Thompson, by a
majority of 1900, and also the entire
Republican city ticket, with the excep-
ton of City Clerk and one Justice of
the Peace; they also elect nine out of
thirteen Aldermen.
ILLINOIS.
The election in Illinois was exceed.
i6gly quiet, the contest throughout the
State being only for county offices. A
Republican gain of 10, 900 is reported
from Chicago. To account for this, q
correspondent in a special to a Demo.
cratic paper says: With the prestige of
big success at the judicial election Of
last June in their favor, the Democrats
had only to adhere to the policy pur.
sued %then-that is, to nominate the best
men in the party for all the positions,
and success vas again possible. Instead
of that, they nominated IS candidates
for County Treasurer and Judge of the
Superior Court two men without or
binary fitness for those positions; the
judicial nominee being hand capped
by a record of service as captain in the
Confederate army, besides having re-
sorted to undigni6ed methods to secure
the nomination. 1t has been to-day, at
it was at the county election a year ago
a shameful defeat for the Democrats by
reason of their own gross laundering
At midnight the result is known beyond
question, and the only uncertainty now
is as to the size of the majority.
VIRGINIA.
The contest in Virginia has beer
chiefly upon the question of repudi
alton. A Richmsnd dispatch says
The vote in this city was the smallest
ever polled, there being no opposition
TO the Funders' or Debt PAYERS ticket
But few negroes voted. The return.
show that all counties which were cen.
sidered doubtful have gone for the
Readjusters; with all that, however, il
is claimed hat the Funders will have S
majority in both Houses. At the Re
adjusters' headquarters it is claim
that they will have a small majority il
the Senate and House. Reports from thu
Charlottesville Senatorial District stat,
that John E. Marcy, a prominent Re
adjuster, who has been leading the can
vass of the party throughout the State
is badly beaten by his Funder opponent
the majority against him being statet
at 1900.

The election in Mississippi was a yer,
quiet one, and a small vote was polled
The Democrats c4rried the State witt
the exception of a few counties. Hind
County elects a greater part of tn
Greenback ticket, Yszoo goes Demo
cratic by a very small majority. 4
dispatch frsm Holly Springs says tina
tie Legislative ticket is doubtful. An
other from Jackson says the Legisla
ture will be unchanged. Very littl
interest was manifested anywhere il
the State I'VE the election.
NEBRASKA

The total vote of the State will reac

hackers make a very small showing.
NEW JERSEY.
The returns from New Jersey sho1
that the Republicans have gained on
S ate Senator and two OF three member
of the Assembly. The Republican
will probably retain control of bot
branches of the Legislature.
