CINCINNATI, Nov. 2.-Tho oampcign which
closed to. night has been series of sarprises,
bringing alternate hopes and fears to each
party. The result in Maine was thunder,
bolt to the Republicans. The Western cleo
tions stunned tho Democratic, and as / write
at midnight 1t would seem that the sentiment
and principles that created the tidal wave Of
fortnight ago has no doubt swelod through
every Northern State to the Pacific ocean. It
is yet too early to give moro than we'll based
estimates of the results in Northern States
There is, however, no reason to doubt that
Garfield has carried oSory pivotal State by
surprisingly large majorites. Nothing def.
nite ut this hour is heard from the Pacific
slope, but the Republicans claim the trio of
States with the same confidence they have
shown in Now England.
5. w. Dorsey, secretary Of the Republican
National Committee, gives tho following os-
innate of the general result.
In view Of the fact that the Now York Sun

friends. MIR. Dorsey's figures are evidently
correct:
The Democratic maj ,rity in New York city
is about 35 900, Brooklyn 10000, with pos
sblo 5000 in Long Island and Station Island.
Four years ago Tildon crossed tho Harlem
river from these points with $4,000 majority.
Garfold's minority in tho State will reach
10000.
Massachusetts, increases it's majority Of
four years ago to sixty thousand.
Tho late fusion in Maine is reversed to a
Republican gain Of two thousand and I've
hundred.
New Jersey is doubtful and has probably
gone Democratic by greatly loduccd vote.
Connecticut is Republican by two thousand
and five hundred to four thousand.
Pennsylvania gives Garfield forty thousand,
Ohio thirty thousand to forty thousand, and
Indiana about seven thousand.
The Republican majority in Hamilton
County, Ohio (Cincinnati) has moro than
doubled since the October election.

ANDERSON COUNTY.
The election in this county passed of quiet

at Bolton, which was brought on by tho az.

was challenged it preoipited aiot, which
resulted in several pistol shots and the slight
