The November Elections.

As we 60 to press the result Of the
elections yesterday. "a reported bv tele.
graph last night, are rather mixed with
predictions plentiful in favor Of the demo-
Gratis, but not in all cases warranted by
the returns rs given
In Massachusetts the vote was very
light being only about three fflhs of that
last yesr and much less indeed than in
the late off years when B. F Butler has
made things lively for his opponents. The
mI lrtY for governo, Long is some 80,
000 or proportioDately about the same as
last year, The most noticeable feature
Of tho voting in the Bay Sttte is that the
republicans carry Boston for the first time
in many years. G. v. Long leads Thomp
sou in that city by more than 1000 votes
The whole republican state ticket is elected
and seventh-eighths of the Senate and
three fourths of the House of representa-
tives is republican. In Connecticut the
republicans were victorious in the lcgisa
tive elections.
1t is reporte from New York that ID,
republican state committee concede the
stale to the democrats by $4,000 majority
Carr, who was the candidate Tor secretary
of state and headed the republican ticket,
is said to have run far ahe4d of his asSDci
ates, so that it is very possible that the
democrats have elected the rest of their
state ticket by fair mlj,rity. The voting
on secretary of state however Looks to u
to be very close notwithstanding the re
po ted concession of 5000 maj wity to the
democrats. The democrats claim the legis
lature also but we shall believe their claim
well foundedwhen we see their claim borne
out by the New York papers and not be-
fore.
The republicans appear to have elected
Mr. Seth Low, m ,yor of Brooklyn. which
is work they were helped in by some Of
the democrats who were sick of the rnle
of B rss Mclaughlin and of the poor gov
ernment resulting theretrom. Daniel &.
Rollins, the republican candid ate fur
surrogate in New York city is reported to
have been chosen on account of democra :
ic divisions. Mr.. Flower, the democratic
candidate for congress in the It'll district
is said to have 1000 maioritY over William
Waldorf Aston, which if reports of his
ways of campaigning are true serves Mr..
Aston right though the loss of II republican
congressman is not pleasant.
Mr.. Aston is credited with having pnt
many thousands of d ,lars into the con t
and with having gone about treating al
who would drink with him. and altogether
with having made most discreltable
canvass by AN attempt t. m IKE his money

he is not; the laboring men saw that his

welfare was so dreadful near election time
and were with many others disguised

step ladder fame, the re publican candidate
for state treasurer, was also bounced and
ran many thousands behind his ticket. 1t
is very likely that the late faction fgb,

cases as well as in many others. A>or

The Virginia election appears to have
