Contrary to our expectation, the Demo-
Gratis Of New York succeeded in electing
their State ticket last Tuesday, Hill receiv-
ing plurality of nearly II 600 over Daven-
port, the Republican candidate for Gov
ernor. The Republicans carried both
branches of the Legislature and will have
a majority of thirty-two on joint ballot.
In New York City the Tammany Hall fac
ton of the Democracy was generally sue
cessfuI aud its followers wore greatly elated
over their victory. The independents lost
their grip in Brooklyn, the. regular Demo-
cratic candidates carrying that city easily
PENNSYLVANIA.
The Republicans carried this State, elect
ing their candidate for Treasurer by ma
jority slightly exceeding A,00O in very
light vote. Swape, Democrat, was elected
to Congress from the nineteenth District

ans were also successful, defeating the
Democratic ticket by more than $1,000 ma

The election in Connecticut was only for
members of the Legislature. The Repub-
licans secured both branches by a somewhat
reduced majority.
NEW JERSEY.
In this State also metnbers of the Legis-
lature we're elected and the Republicans
we're successful. thus insuring the election
of Republican successor to United States
Senator Sewell, Republican,.
MARYLAND.
This State gave nearly 10000 Democratic
majority and chose an overwhelmingly
Democratic Legislature that ia considered
reasonably certain to reflect Senator Cor
man.
Malone is laid on the shelf. Fitzhugh
Lee defeated Wise for Governor by nearly
&c, 600 majority and the Legislature is al
most two thirds Democratic. A Democrat
will therefore be chosen to take Gen. Ma
homes place in the national Senate.
MISSISSIPPI.
As a matter of course the Democrats
made a clean sweep in Mississippi, for
there is scarcely semblance of party to
oppose thenn. Lowry carried every county
in the State for Governor and the Legisla-
ture is we'll nigh unanimously Democratic.
The Republicans carried Iowa by about
5000 over the united Democrats and Green
hackers and secured majority in both
branches of the Legislature. Two years
ago the Republicans majority for Gov
ernor was only 1892.

Regents of the State university were the
officers voted for in Nebraska, and the Re-
publicans elected them by about Il, 900 ma
jority.

This Territory, which is knocking ut the
of the Union and seeking admission as a
State, adopted its new constitution and
elected the Republican ticket. Huron was
chosen as the capital by about 1900 major

MRS. WALKUP ACQUITTED.
The celebrated trial of Mrs. Minnie Walk
up of New Orleans for the alleged poison
ing of her husband, Gen. J. r. Walkup,
Mayor of Emporia, Kansas, has ended in
the acquitta of the accused. For some
time after retiring the Jury we're evenly di-

to return a verdict of not guilty, which was
received with demonstrations Of hearty ap-

1t was conclusively shown by the evidence
