THE FALL ELECTIONS.
No Very Striking Changes ANYWHERE
Gen. Butler Minnesota
the Same ~ TEsual

the Same as Usual.
The election throughout the country
passed off quietly. There were no very re-
markable changes, unless the defeat of
Gen. Butler can be so called. Such changes
as occurred were due in most instances to
local causes the strength Of both great par
ties beiag virtually intact.
MINNESOTA
The whole republican state ticket is elect
ed by handsome mai0rities Gov. Hubbard's
majority is estimated at $4,000 and the bal
ance of tie ticket much more, com pairing
the total number of voLss cast in 1l6 pre-.
cincis in 1881, whel Hubbard resolved
9 067 and Johnson 500, TO this the in
creased vote of Tuesday, and the inference
is that the total vote will be not far short OF
$50 600 instead of 102 000 as two yesrs ago,
Or 3vided later returns yield correspond
ing increase in the total vote. By the ra-
ito between Hubbard and BieTman in these
precincts, which is about that of eleven to
nine, the former will receive 81, 500 votes,
and the latter 81 800 giving Gov. Hubbard
in the neighborhood OF l5, 600 majority.
In the Dodge county senatorial district
Severance, republican, is elected over
Adams by $50 majority, to take the seat OF
the late Senator Mclaughlin. In the Red
Wing district Hall will take Senator Chand-
ler's seat Bass, the regular republican
being defeated by the split growing from
list falls contest In Mower, Wilkinson,
republican, is elected to the legislature.
Gov. Hubbard received I,500 majority in
Ramsey county.
MASSACHUSETTS.
The whole republican ticket was elected
as follows: Governor, George d. Robinson;
lieutenant governor, Oliver Ames; secretary
of state, Henry B. Pierce; treasurer and re-
ceiver general, D. A. Gleason; attorney gen.
eral Edgar J. Sherman; auditor, Charles
r. Ladd.
Butler has beer defeated by a decisive
majority. In Boston. which last year save
him majority of IS, $40, he now has but
GIL. Only two towns in the State; so far
as heard from, report Butler gains. The
Republicans claim the election of Robinson
by at least II, 600 mBj )rity, andalso twenty
seven out Of forty-seven senators and 1860
out of 249 Representatives.
Butler, to Judge by PRESENT indications, has
polled about $4,000 votes, or 1000 more
than last year; while Robinson has received
16D. 900 or 40 600 more han were cast for
Bishop III 1882. AS SHOWN above. nearly
$4,000 votes have been cast, which is an
amount more than 1000 greater than was
ever recorded in Massachusetts,. The near
est approach to this number was in 1885,
whel 25S 600 votes wee cast.
NEW YORK
In New FORK there Is some doubt as to
the result, though the state has probably
zone Democratic, excepting that Carr, Re-
publican, candidate for secretary OF state, Is
thought to have been elected. The Repub-
licans claim a fair working majority III
both branches of the legislature, which will
So RdnnHlinav,
to succeed Lapham. In Brooklyn the con-
test over the mayer has been a hot
one and che result is very close;
both sides claiming a majority of
some 2, 900 votes, the ticket probably is,
secretary OF state, Joseph b. Carr control
Ter, Alfred c. Chaplin; treasurer, Robert A.
Maxwell; attorney general Dennis U Srien'
state engineer and surveyor, E. Sweet. Jr.
The Albany Argus dem, estimate at z
o'clock a. m. elects the Democratic STATE
ticket at by 10000 to $4,000, except May
nard. who is probably defeated by TO- 900
to 10000 1t estimated the senate 10 re-
publicans end Is democrats. The assem-
bly, is in doubt.
PENNSYLVANIA.
Complete returns from 81 OF the 81 coun-
ties in tue state give Niles, rep, for auditor
general, majority of 10, AS, The three
remaining counties, Bradford, Forrest and
Sullivan, will increase the republican ma
iority TO about 1900, which is a large
republican gain. The Offices elect are:
treasurer William Linneseyi state auditO r,
Jerome 3. Niles.
NEW JERSEY
The Democratic state con mittee claim
the election by over Z, 600. They also claim
the bly,. Tie Republican state CON-
mittee concede the election of Abbott, DEM,
by q small majority. The Republicans
probably have the senate by three majority,
and the Democrats the house by four, CIV
ing the latter III j9rity OIL joint ballot.
MARYLAND.
Reports from: Maryland received in vari-
Gus quarters are very incomplete. They 10.
dictate that MoLane Democrat. has been

and majority IN tne legislature.

In Virginia the contest was the most ex-
citing that has taken place for many years

ator Malone Both sides claim a victory
the democrats asserting that their gains
have been heavy il all parts of the state,
and that they expect maj Gritty ia both leg

In Mississippi, as usual, there was a
sweeping democratic success. The only dis

twenty four buckshot in the face.
In Connecticut, the election was for
twelve members OF the state senate for terms
of two years, a liEe number holding over,
by five republicans aud seven democrats. A

Der. were also elected. Late returns make

mates of his majority range from five TO
ten thousand, the regular republican ma
joriiy IN Nebraska being over tweniy thou
