ed Governor of Massachusetts,, and New

cut were Overwhelmingly carried by the Dem

The Result In Detail.
The curious thing about the result in Mas
sachusetts is that while Butler has defeated
Bishop by about II, 900 majority, the rest o f
the Republican state ticket is elected by a
large majority, Ames for Lieutenant Governor
receiving plurality of 10 4lS The Demo-
Gratis also elect Theodore Lyman, Indepen-
dent Republican, to Congress in the 9th dis
trict by 1852 majority, Lowering in the 9th
district by $50 majority, Morse in the 9Th
district by >, 173 majority, and Collins in the
4th district by G, 224 majority-making the
Massachusetts, delegation in Congress stand
Republicans and Democrats and Indepen-
dents The state Senate will consist of %
Republicans and ) Democrats, and the House
of 142 Republicans and 80 Democrats, with
- members not classified.
The vote for Butler in Boston was of the
most astonishing dimensions. 1t stood But
Ter, 80, 1GG; Bishop, lG, S73; Buffers plural
ity, Is, 293. In 1879, when Butler ran against
Long, his plurality was only 5,2i0.
The most enthusiastic Butterflies never pre-
dicted for him more than ~, 600 majority in
Boston this year and they were thought to be
crazy.

against 1874, 725 for Talbot and 10, 1862 for
Abbott, Democrat. In 1879 Butler had 109-
149, Long 122, 7j1, and Adams 1859.
New Hampshire.
There is no doubt of the election of Hale,
Republican, by the people by small major
ity. The returns of 225 towns give Hale 81
54O Edgerly, SO, ia, scattering, 92l, making
Hale's plurality 1866, majority 445. The re-
naming IL towns will reduce Hale's majority
to about 300. The Senate stands IL Repub-
licans and Democrats. One district makes
no choice and districts are in doubt. The

Republicans and 40 Democrats The Sem
ate is - Republicans and II Democrats. An

turned by 1000 majority
