THE GLORIOUS RESULTS /!
Everything Looks Lovely and
the Goose Hangs High"

We clip the following election news
from yesterday mornings Cincinnati |
Gazetge:
We give our readers this morning the |
details of a grand series of Republican
victories. From Minnesota and Wiscou-
sin in the Northwest, to Connecticut and
Massachusetts on the Atlantic Coast, the
dispatches tell of a constant succession of
Republican gains and war time maiori-
ties. Writing at ? a. m, we are unable
TO give definite figures, but the returns
are sufhcieLt to leave no doubt as to gem
eral results.
In New York the Republicans have
elected their candidate for Governor BY a
plurality that may go as high as 25, 600.
/ They have also carried both branches of
| the Legislature by good majorities. The
/ remainder of the State ticket is Democratic
/ by plurality of perhaps Is, 900. Cornell
ran behind in the State at large, but in
| the city the 10000 votes cast for Kelly put
him ahead of his opponent. RObinsOn's
/ plurality in New York and Brooklyn is
| about p 600, against which is a Republi-
can plurality of 30, 900 in the State at
large. The returns bear evidence that the
young Republican scratchers, under the
lead of George William Curtis, got in
their work.
In Pennsylvania, the election was for
| State Treasurer and county officers only,
and the vote was light The majority for
the Republican candidate, however, Is
fully 10000, and the Chairman OF the
State Committee estimates that lt WIN
5 reach 80, 900. The majority in PhiladeI-
phia is the largest ever recorded by the
, Republicans in State election.
/, In Massachusetts, Butler is hOpelessly
defeated, the Republican candidate, Long,
= running from 10000 to l5,0OO ahead OF
him. It is probably the final and crush
ing blow to the Essex statesman's aspira-
tions. or it would be in the case of any
>, other man. Butler is hard to kill.
4 In Wisconsin the Republicans have
achieved a remarkable victory. In the
Presidential election of 1876 the State wa!
very close, the Republican majority reach
e ing only 2.795. This year the Badger
/. State responds with majority variOusly
estimated at from &c, 900 to 80 600.
! In Minnesota the vote was smaller thar
3 two years ago, and there was mucl
scratching. The average Republican ma
. | iOrity will be about 1O, 600. The Legisla
y ture will be overwhelmingly Republican
= in both branches.
. Connecticut elected eleven State Sena
tors and a full list of Assem- blymen. Tn
dispatches say the Republican majOrit,
on joint ballot will be ninety-siX. Las
is year twas forty-eight. This Legislator
,r elects United States Senator to succee
+, | the Democratic campaign manager, Bal
mum. There will be no doubt about Cor
e. necticut in the Presidential contest nez
o. year.
r The elections in the other States wei
4 unimpOrtant except as they show un
- form Republican gains. The DemOcra
T. had no difficulty in carrying Mississip
(including YazoO County,, Maryland ar
Virginia. In the legislative elections
n New Jersey and Maryland the Republ

y Chicago, which for some time has be-
On an uncertain political quantity, gives
