The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1881-11-10
NEW YORK.

ALBANY, Nov 9-The ARGUS editors at
noon claimed the election of the Demo
cratic state ticket by 1000 majority
though owing to Carr running ahead of
his ticket he may be elected. They say
| the Senate is tie, the Assembly in doubt.
The evening journal says the Senate is
tie and the Assembly two Republican.
5000 and considel the remainder
of the State ticket, except Hues-
ted, probably elected. Republican Con
gressmen in the Twenty second and
Twenty seventh districts are elected.
In Brooklyn the Republicans elected the
Mayor, Sheriff, and supervisor at large. no
Senators no Assemblymrn, 10 Supervisors
out of thirteen, and 5 Alderman.
President Arthut remained at home all
morning settling private business. He
had many callers, but received only inti-
mate friends.
Albert Daggett, Chairman of the ex-
ecutiye committe, said to-day that the dis
patches give the Republicans the state by
embly would be Republican by aboun 81
to go, while the Democrats could gain the
Senate by one vote.
The Worlds legislative table makes the
state Senate-Democrat II. Republicans
Is; assembly-Democrats 81, Republicans
81, and claims the election of state officers
| by maiorities faom 200 on Purcell, ranging
to over 1900 on Maxwell for treasurer.
The Tribune estimates Carr's majority
at $40. The senate, it thinks, will stand
II democrats to 5 republicans, and the
assembly sc democrats to 62 republicans
The San says neither party has elected
| its entire state ticket. So far as the In
complete returns show, Carr, republican,
| for Secretary of State, runs ahead of the
ticket in nearly every county, and is prob
ably elected by about 1000 plurality over
Purcell Maxwell, democrat, for treas
urer, defeats Hustled, Republican, by an
estimated majority of 10000 to 10000
The figures are insufficient on the rest of
the state ticket TO indicate the result.
| Each party claims the election of its
ticket By 1900. The official count viii be
necessary to determine the result The
majority viii probably be only few hun
| hred either way. The democrats have
carried the Legislature by eight Or ten on
| Joint ballot. The senate viii stand IL
democrats to Is republicans. The assem-
bly, will probably be composed of 6S dem
| ocrats and go republicans. One or two
/ fdistricts have not been heard from, but
will wipe out the majority, even if conced-
ed to the republicans.
| VIRGINIA.
/ RICHMOND, Va, Nov 10.-Later returns
| further reduce the democratic gains In the
Legislature and there is now no hope OF
recovering the lost ground In the counties
| to hear from. Pretty full returns are re
oa;ved from over half the state and the in
dications are that Cameron is elected and
| the readiusters viii have good working
maiorits on Joint ballot in the Legislature.
Al the readiusters headquarters the cleo
| tion of the State ticket is claimed by not
| less than Is, 600 and majority In the
Legislature of II to 20 on joint ballot.
The readiusters are exceedingly luDllant
| tonight, marching in procession through
| the streets with music and cannon mr.
ing.
The Whsg readjuster, In an editorial on
the result in Tirginia, viii tomorrow say;
aOur victory is certain. we nave
not vet received sufficient returns to
give effect or even proximate ng-
ures of our majority, but we know
enough to be quite positiqe that Col. Cam
eron and the whole state ticket is elected
hv majority not less than 10000, and
that we have carried both branches of the
General assembly by joint majority ex-
ceedinc that of the legislature of 1879 '6O.
indeed the returns, as far as received fully
instifv claiming majority OF 10000 Tor
our state ticket, but out of abundant eau
ton we decline to claim everything we
| might reasonably do. 30 al any rate our
victory il complete and at last the people
have selected a governmenment and give
effect in full to the popular Will
| WASHINGTON, Nov. g.-The republicans $
correspondent telegraphs from Petersburg
/ that Cameron told him his maJ0Tty WI
certainly reach $4,000, and that the legis-
lature is safe for the readjuster.
