The Victory.

English are beaten. The result of yes
tcrday's voting appears this, Wednesday. |
forenoon to have been the choice of 222 |
republican and 147 democratic electors
The republicans will be stronger in the
next House of Representatives than in the
present one though the democrats may
rftain slender majority. The Senate
will be about evenly divided.
The democrats get their electoral votes
from a solid south, 1873, and New Jersey,
.. The republicans get theirs from the
northern states excepting New Jersey.
There are as yet no returns from Nevada
and Oregon, but We count them for Gar
lirld, as it seems impossible that the flood
hat overwhelmed the democracy failed to
reach those states. Their votes are not
needed but may as well be t. ken while we
are going along. Several southern states
are unheard from, but everybody knows
how that section of the country has voted.

We have heard from Maine-agan. 1t
has gone for Garfield as it went for Gov.
Kent in 1910. Two hundred towns give Il
republican gain over the September vote
of 1928. The majority for the Garfield
electors will be over 1000. New Hamp-
shire goes for Garfield and elects Bell,
republican, governor, by about 1000
majority. Frank Jones's barrel, wet, has
met Englishs barrel, dry. The demo-
Gratis, however, have perhaps elected their
candidate for congress in the Dover dis
trict.
Vermont has given the republicans n
handsome gain over the presidential vote
OF 1876. Garfeld's majority over Hancock
and Weaver easily exceeds $4,000 and
may 60 up to $4,000. Massachusetts also
gives handsome gains over the vote OF
four years ago, and Garfield leads Hancock
there about $4,000. Ten republican con-
gressmen are chosen, while Leopold
Morse, the present democratic member
from the 4th district, squeezes in again
by less than hundred votes. The repub
lican state ticket with Gov. Long at the
head goes in on Il high wave. Gen. Ben.
amin F. Butler lives in Massachusetts
and was hearty supporter of Hancock
Gen Butler has returned to the democratic
party-unanimously and it is well t.

329 times if necessary.
Rhode Island gives Garfield and Arthur
about 1000 majority. Connecticut zoe
republican by 2O00 or 5000 majority. Mr.

some republican gains which extend fror
Buffalo to Saratoga Springs.
But the most magnificent republica
