ly office seriously contested. The Republi-
cans defeated the combined Democrats and
Anti -Monopolists last year by $4,000. This
is an astonishing Democratic gain.
New York has elected the Democratic
State ticket with the exception of Maynard,
candidate for Secretary Of State, who was
beaten by the liquor men on account of mis-
prohibition record The Legislature issup-
posed to be Republican, although the ac-
counts regarding it are still very confused
and conflicting. The Republicans have GER
tainly gained very heavily-much more
than was expected, although loss from the
mammoth Democratic majority of $4,000
last year was known to be inevitable. The
latest revision of the returns from New
York give Carr, Republican, for Secretary of
State, 1868 over Maynard, Democrat.
Chaplin, Democrat, for Comptroller, 49,
2S4 majority over Davenport, Republican.
O'Brien, Democrat, for Acknowledgement,
S,776 over Russell, Republican. The major
ity for O'Brien does not include the figures
of Kings county, which will probably give
him 1000 more. The Assembly will be
composed of 70 Republicans and 56 Demo-
Gratis. The Senate stands 19 Republicans
and 13 Democrats. In Brooklyn, Lowe, Re-
publican, for mayor, had 1910 majority.
Pennsylvania has elected the Republican
candidates for Auditor General and Treasu-
rer by 1000 majority. This is heavy Re-
publican loss from last year when the COM
bined Republican vote exceeded that of the
Democrats, who won by plurality over
the divided opposition, by $4,000. The
Democrats carried the State this year by
$4,000 majority outside of Philadelphia, but
that city gave a Republican majority of
10000.
Maryland elected an entire State Demo-
cratic ticket, the majority for Mclean, for
Governor, being about 5000. Both branches
Of the Legislature are DEMOCRATIC:

The Aurkrille &uqnirer,
YORKVILLE, s. c.:
THURSDAY MORNING, NOV. Is, 1888.
THE NEXT CROP.

A Mobile correspondent of the Marion
True Democrat says: "Should the farmers in
the cotton States awaken to the duty of the
hour, and reduce the area of cotton next
spring, to about 100000 acres giving the
extra 1000, ,OOOacres to grain and grasses-the
effect on prices would be salutary, and the
dawn of new era would appear" The
same writer insists on judicious system OF
homemade fertilizers and thorough cultiva-
ton, and confidently believes that 100000
acres in cotton will produce all that the
world will take at remunerative prices, and
that the lands now under cultivation in the
cotton States would, under such system,
give profitable employment to an increased
population of 5000, 900 souls, and would pro-
duce, in addition, all the grain, hay and po-
tatoes needed, and subsist hogs, cattle and
mules sufficient to meet the entire Southern
demand

LAST WEEKS ELECTIONS.

Important elections were held in ten
States on Tuesday of last week. Public in
terest was centered mainly upon Virginia
and New York, as being regarded pivotal
States, and the fact also that in Virginia a
powerful effort was being made by the
Democrats to rid the State Of Malone boss
ism. Their efforts were crowned with great
ersuccess thanwas supposed could be achiev-
ed with the odds against them. The popu-
lar Democratic majority in Virginia will
reach 10000. The Legislature is Democrat
ic by majority of a on joint ballot, and
the Readjuster or Malone party is routed
and disrupted. In that State the victory is
compared with the Hampton success in
South Carolina in 1876.
In Massachusetts, Robinson, Republican,
defeated Ben Butler by 10000 majority.
The State voted Republican, though politi-
cal divisions were lost sight of almost en-
tirely, and the question was Butler or anti
Butler. While Gen. Butler was the Demo-
cratic nominee for Governor though Butler
had but recently been bitter Republican,
thousands of Democrats refused to support
him, and voted for Mr.. Robinson, the Re-
publican nominee; and, on the other hand,
thousands of Republicans refused to support
Robinson, and voted for Butler. The issue
was narrowed down to personal one-But-
Ter and anti-Butler.
In Connecticut the Republicans have won
very substantial local victory, although
the result has no possible bearing on FEEDER
al politics. The election was for members
of the Legislature, and the result is large
Republican majority in both branches. The
State has Democratic governor elected last
year by majority of 1000.
Minnesota elects the Republican State
ticket as she always does.
Mississippi elects Legislature with an
overwhelming majority as she was expect
ed to do. The joint Legislature will stand,
1870 Democrats to 25 Republicans and indie
pendents. The Democrats elected II out of
12 district attorneys.
In New Jersey the Democrats elect the
Governor Neon Abbott) and majority in
both branches of the Legislature. The Re
publicans made a strong fight there and
their defeat is severe one.
Nebraska, which was long ago conceded
to the Republicans, helps along the Demo
cratic tidal wave by electing Savage, the
candidate of the Democrats and Anti-Mo-
nopolists, Judge of the Supreme Court over
the Republican nominee, that being the on
