n Second Appomattox.
The most sanguine anticipations of the
Republicans are confirmed, If not sur
passed, by the glorious results of the
election yesterday. The returns indicate
that Garfield has carried every northern
state, With the possible exception Of New
jersey. The Empire State, which grandly
leads the triumphal procession of TIE
states, no longer doubtful, but redeemed
and disenthralled, has covered itself with
glory. The majority for Hancock in
New York, which Democratic estimates
had placed at $4,000, has been cut down
to between 10000 and 10000 by the grand
uprising Of the business men of the CON-
mercial metropolis. This unexpectedly
meagre majority in the city is over
whelmed and engulfed in the magnificent
Republican majorities which are rolled
up from the country. And the state OF
New York, which IN 1876 gave Tilden
majority of 32,740, now gives her thir-
ty-five electoral votes to Garfield, support
ed by Republican majority of probably
$4,000. Little Connecticut, which in 1876
gave Tilden 1890 majority, now follows
her gigantic neIghbor with majority for
Garfield Of between 1900 and 900. All
New England presents a solid front tor
the Republican candidates. Maine has
come out of its September slough of de-
spond redeemed ana gloritied with a ma
jority Of 1000 or 5000 for Garfield. New
Hampshire stands firm for the Republican
cause on her granite hills. Pennsylvania,
true to her antecedents comes to the front
with an old time Republican majority Of
$4,000. Large Republican gains in every
eastern State measure the ground
swell Of the mighty political reve
luton which has swept everything
before IT, The West has fulfilled once
more the splendid promise Of its traditions
and surpasses all promise in performance
Ohio crowns her favorite son with an easy
majority of IS ,000-which is $4,000 more
tha3 she gave Hayes four years ago. In

conquered in October, tand rounds ou

Deep calleth unto deep, and the Pacific
heaves with q tidal wave to the mighty
swell and surge Of the Atlantic. Califor

$1,000 in response to Barnum's Morey for
gerry. The other Pacific States had no
been heard from at the hour when this
was written, but there is no doubt Of the
resul,. The victory is simply overwhelm
ling in its magnitude. 1t Is more than the
Waterloo Of the Democratic party. 1t is
its second Apomattox. New Jersey il
the only northern State of which there
seems to be any doubt.
This sweeping victory, which assure:
Gen. Garfield majority Of probably u
votes in the electoral college, and renders
all the Democratic schemes tor defeat
ing his election by fraud or Legislative
usurpa:ion abortlve, is supplemented by
q victory which is less complete In the
gains of Republican congressman. 1t is
too early to figure out exactly which party
will have majority in the next congress,
but Whitelaw Reid is undoubtedly right
in his estimate that the result IN this re.
spect is close, and the probabil are
that the Republicans will have small ma.
jority in the house. They Will gain SEN
