New York State, where such great interest
has been manifested, owing to the split in
the Democracy, Cornell, the Republican candi-
date for Governor, has been elected. Kelley,
| the Tammany candidate, received a vote in
New York City of about 10000. Robin
| sons majority in the city-the State
Democracy's candidate--was, perhaps, 10000
or $4,000 over Cornell. The with the
Democrats was for the Governorship, and, as
consequence, the Republicans elected their
man for Governor by majority of perhaps
$4,000. All the rest of the Democratic State
ticket was elected. The probabilities, in New
| York City, on the county ticket, rather in
favor of Tammany. On the General Assembly,
the Republicans will have a majority in both
the House and the Senate.
PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICAN.
Pennsylvania has gone Republican by a
majority ranging anywhere between $4,000
and so, 900. In the city of Philadelphia, as in
New York State, rival Democratic conventions
| overthrew the party's real strength, aHd the
| Republican majority is said to be greater than
was ever before known in that city, Butler the
candidate for State Treasurer, is elected by a
| possible majority of 40, 900. The Republican
majority last year 1900 against II 900 in
the last Presidential election.
MASSACHUSETTS s-REPUBLIcAN.
This State, never to be mentioned without Wis
ions of Ben. Butler looming up before the mind,
has gone Republican, which, of course, it has
always done, but in this case, Butler, who in
| former years has been the sturdy oak of the
/ Republican party in that State, and usually the
| ola fod 70 fba On al off
has been let gently down by his party and de-
feated to the tune of perhaps $4,000 or 10000
by his opponent, Long, who was the Republic
can candidate.
| NEW Observation-Disclosures.
The Republicans have gained one State
Senator in New Jersey and probably six mem
bers of the Assembly. They will retain con-
troll of both branches of the Legislature, the
Senate by majority of three and the As
sembly probably by fourteen sixteen ma
jority.
MARYLAND--DEM0CRATIC.
| The returns from Maryland are unusually slow,
| the cause being attributed to more than the
usual amount of scratching. The ticket in
cludes State, Legislative and judicial offices.
The Democratic majority in Baltimore will not
be under 10000. The State is, of course, beyond
question, Democratic, although the returns at
the present writing are meagre that no esti-
mates can be vouchsafed.
The election in Illinois has been only for
county offices, and it is impossible to give a
definite estimate of the State. In Chicago there
has been Republican gain of 5000 to 10 900,
On he county ticket.
| NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
| Smith, the Republican candidate for Cover
nor, has been elected Jenkins, the Demo-
cratic candidate for that Office, by majority of
10000, or thereabouts. In 1877, Smith was
elected Governor of the State by only about
1000. 1t should be remarked that this year s
Republican majority in the State was the esti-
mate made by the late Hon. z. Chandler, al
though the returns more favorable to the
Republicans than they expected. dispatch
to Democratic journal says: "The cause OF
the overwhelming defeat of the Democrats is at
tributed to the bad policy in nominating Hon.
Alex Mitchell, who in Europe at the time
of the Convention, and his return refused
to accept the nomination, thereby rendering a
second nomination necessary, which was
delayed so long that the Republicans got in
their deadly work in the meantime" sEF
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
Election returns come in slowly. The indi-
cations are that Cobb, Republican candidate for
Supreme Judge, is elected over Wakely, Demo-
crat, by $4,000 majority. Gannett and Carson,
Republican Regents of University, elected.
Total vote of State will reach 10000. Repub-
lican county tickets generally successful.
Greenbackers make very small showing.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
The result of the municipal election at De-
troit shows Republican gain of 5000, the Re-
publicans electing their candidate for Mayor,
W. G. Thompson, by majority of 1900, and
the entire city ticket, with the exception Of
City Clerk and one Justice. Also, nine out Of
thirteen Alderman.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..
The election in Minnesota was not a spirited
contest in the common acceptation of that
term. The Republicans have carried the State
by possible majority of 10 900. Pillsbury, the
Republican candidate for Governor, run be.
hind his ticket in the neighborhood of 1000
, while Rice, the Democratic candidate for Gov
ernor, ran perhaps that much ahead of his
ticket.
, KANSAS
, The election in Kansas was a local one, with
very few changes from the former poitica
3 complexion of that State.
CONNECTICUT REPUBLICAN.
r The returns--very meager-indicate re-
t duced Republican majority in the Legislature
, The Senate will probably stand: II Republi
cans and Democrats the House will b,
about 153 to 90, majority of between 81
and 70 on joint ballot.
VIRGINIA.
The contest in Virginia has been almos
wholly engrossed in the question of repudi'
alton. Indications are that the debt-payer.
. will have forty five in the House of Delegates
composed of one hundred members. In the
Senate the meager returns indicate majority
for the debt-payers of four or five. 1t is prob
/ able that the Repudiationists are beaten, bu
from present indications the majority agains
them will be small
MISUNDERSTANDING
The returns from the State are unusually
slow, but beyond doubt the entire Democratic
that almost every county in the State has gont
! Democratic, with an occasional exception
Kinds County elects greater part of thu
, Greenback ticket. The complexion of the
Legislature will be unchanged.
