THE GREAT TRUST RENEWED,
A Sweeping Republican
Victory,
GARFIELD ELECTED BY AN
IMMENSE MAJORITY.
Hancock Thinks IT "POssiGLe to
Retire"
No Electoral Commission Needed
This Year.

NEW YORK GIVES 20, 900 RE-
PUBLICAN MAJORITY.

The 1nsWer of the North TO the
Menace of the SOLid South.

James A. Garfield is ele cted President of
the United States by majority which can
not be disputed or overthrow No Elector
al Commission will be required to settle the
result of the great and drought campaign
of 1880. The Republican victory is com
plete and overwhelming. For the Democrats
the election of Tuesday was a veritable Wa
terloo. Garfield and Arthur will have not
less than 2l3 votes in the Electoral College
% more than majority, and 81 more than
the Democrats. The vote Of every northern
state except New Jersey, and, possibly, Cali
fornia and Nevada, has been cast for the Re
publican ticket.
OF the four northern states upon which
the solid South ut Cincinnati based their
hopes of success, three-New York, Indiana
and Connecticut-have repudiated the al
lance by majorities which Enthusiastically de
fine their position in the Republican ranks.
New York supports her 81 electoral votes
with majority for Garfield Of 20, 600 to 3D.
900. Connecticut returns TO the Republican
fold with majority of 300 and Indiana
stands firm by her October verdict. Maine
returns TO her allegiance and gives Garfield
and Arthur = majority of 1000. The great
states of the Northwest renew their fidelity
to the Republican party, Iowa leading the
an with a magnificent majority of 50, 900.
The South is solid for the Democracy, as
expected but even there significant Republi-
can gains have been made, especially in
Missouri. Louisiana and Tennessee.
Not the least gratifying result of the cleo
ton is the fact that with the close Of the
present Congress the Democrats will see the
end of their power in that body. The new
House of Representatives will be Republican
by majority ranging from - to %. The
complexion of the Senate is not yet decided,
but at most the Democrats can only have a
majority of one or two. At the present writ
ing the Republicans stand an equal chance
with them TO control that body.
In the tables given below, which indicate
the result in general terms, the Democrats
have the benefit of the only two doubtful
States, California and Nevada

The Burlington Republicans celebrated the
victory on Wednesday evening with torch
light procession fireworks, the firing of can

cheers, made the following speech:
FeIlOiO Citizens: thank you for this
compliment As you are aware, the people,
the real people, represented by the Republi-

not victory which means hate or anmosity,

The evidence thickens in the most damag-
ing manner against the perpetrators of the
Chinese letter forgery. Testimony taken in
the court last Friday and Saturday showed
conclusively that the letter was never sent to
any person in Lynn, Mass, but that it was
enclosed in an old envelope addressed to some
one in New York city, the original address on
which was erased, and Morey's name written
in its place. One device of the Truth pub
lishers to establish the mythical IL. L. Mo
rey's identity, was to go to Lynn, Mass, last
week, and hunt up simple minded old lady
named Morey, whom they got to make afida-
Wit that Mr.. Morey" had paid her regular
visits until about eleven months ago. After
they got the affidavit they fraudulently insert
ed the initials III. L." before the name-a
dodge which was discovered and condemned
in ii published letter by the justice of the
peace before whom the affidavit was made.

How nancocL Tool the N.r..

On Wednesday morning the ferry boat
brought Gen. Mcclellan over to Governors
island. "Well, general, was the visitors on
ly greeting. Mac am glad to see you, +"
responded Hancock. II am sorry" II am
sorry, too, but only for the people and the
party
what do you think Of the election Z" in
quired one Of the gentlemen of the general
II can only repeat what have said all
along that am willing to abide by the de-
cision of the people. Our country is a repub-
lie, and the majority must rule"
Then you do not complain because you
have been defeated -
There is no use Of complaining"
well, general, there is one great consola-
ton, you will not be hsmpered and harrassed
with the cares and perpleIities incident to the
presidency"
Gen. Hancock laughed aloud and said /:
We'll, gentlemen, have my duties to per-
form as commander of the military division
of the Atlantic, and must not forget that l
have large amount of official work awaiting
me at the present moment"
Gen. Hancock would express no opinion as
to the cause Of his defeat, nor would he COM
ment upon the management of his campaign.

The Boston Herald ventures the suggestion
that Gen. Grants judgment upon political
matters probably wont be quite so nippantly
joered at by his censors hereafter, and goes
on to remark that the result Of the election
give evidence chat the General didn't stay
eight years in the White House without learn
ing good deal about politics as well as 9TH
or matters. The grim and proverbially silent
general who laid off his gloves two months
ago with the remark, 1T wont do to be beaten
now, and took the field in person, proved
himself q better forecaster than any of the
professional politicians. And he had the con-
fdence of his convictions, for he everywhere
predicted a sweeping victory, and talked
figures that looked decidedly inflated to most
other observers. A man of the people, like
Lincoln, Wilson and Grant, is apt, after all
to know what they are likely to do in any
contingency"

CALIFORNIA REPUBLICAN.
4 DE.VOCRATIC no WI.

The news Of this, Friday, morning makes
it certain that California has been carried by
tho Republicans by over 1000 This being
the case Garfield and Arthur have 2I9 Elec-
toral votes and Hancock and English 100
votes Tho Legislature Of the state is also
Republican.
In the next national House Of Representa-
tives the Republicans will have II strong
working majority beyond the slightest ques-
ton. The exact political division OF the SEN
ate cannot yet be positively determined.
The Democratic State Executive Commit
tee of New York have issued an address
claiming that they suspect Republican frauds
in that state, and calling for an investigation.
This is Barnum's last desperate device to cast
suspicion on the character of the Republican
victory. The ruse will not work. The Re
publicans of the North will tolerate no tam
pering with the result Of their last Tuesday 3
work.
Vermonts ma ority will hold well up to p, 10

The news from South Carolina is fifty sum-
married. in the statement that the election in
1850 has been greater fraud even than that
of 1878. Notwithstanding the grave editorial
announcement of the leading newspaper in
the state, tho Charleston News and Courier,
that the colored men in the South would not
vote the Democratic ticket, and notwithstand-
ing the fact that the census of South Carolina
Just taken by Democratic officials shows that
the population of the state is Goa, 225 oolored
and only 30l, OF white, still the Democracy
claim that the people of South Carolina have
cast the Electoral vote for Hancock and have
chosen a Bourbon to represent them in every
district. Dispatches show that the Charles
ton ballot boxes were stuffed in the most ex-
traordinary manner. The Democrats gener-
ally voted large ballots which were filed
with tissue ballots. IN some instances even
pasteboard ballots are reported to have been
voted, which contained whole bundles of It's
sue ballots and at nearly every poll in the
state the vote was vastly in excess of tho reg
istration. Even Federal officials supervisors
and marshals, were not permitted TO see or
be present at the counting. Wherever they
attempted TO exercise their sworn duties they
were arrested by the city police and the state
constabulary

Hon Edward Mcpherson of the Congress
sional Republican committee, who il un-
doubtedly the most accomplished political
sialistician in this country, estimates a work
ing Republican majority Of twenty three in
the next House. The following is the table
of Republican gains claimed Virginia one,
Goodies district North Carolina one, Kitch-
ms district three in Tennessee (Taylor, At
kins and Young; two in Alabama, the Sec
ond and Fourth; one in Louisiana, Darrell
two in Iowa, Gillette and Weaver one in
Minnesota, Straight; one in Wisconsin,
Guenther two in Missouri, Sessenhosse and
Vanhorn three in Pennsylvania, Campbell
Scranton and Barnum one in West virginia.
Wilson; two in Kentucky, White and Thorn
as one in Illinois, the Thirteenth District :
one in Vermont, Bradley Barlows district ;
one in Oregon; two in Indiana and six in
Ohio. This makes q total Of Republican
Congressman gained of 81. From this de-
duct three losses in New York and one loss
in Nevada, which makes a total net Republi-
can gain Of p. There arc now l3l Republi-
cans in the House. which, with the p gain
ed, will make the number of Republicans in
the Forty. seventh Congress los. That would
give to the opposition, Democrats and Green
hackers, or whatever they might be called,
1876 Representatives in the next Congress-
leaving the Republicans a net majority of 20.
On the basis of this estimate it will be seen
that if the Republicans are compelled to sur
render, as is possible, some Of the districts
claimed in Tennessee, there still will be a
good working majority in the House. II does
not seem probable that later returns can 80
reduce the Republican gains claimed as to
deprive the party of practical majority in
the next House.

make the meeting legal. Still further, no

it was too late to rectify it, SO that no meet
