TRENTON, Nov 3-The election in this State
passed off very quietly. no serious disturbances
being reported from any of the polling districts
in the twenty-one counties There are sixty AS
sembly districts in the State and one member of
the State House of Assembly was elected to-day
from each district Last year the State Senate
was composed Of IL Republicans and 10 Demo
Gratis, and the House of Assembly of 36 Repub
licans and "a Democrats giving the Republicans
a majority of 13 upon joint ballot. Nine Of the
senators holding over are Republicans, SO they
will control that body at the next session if their
candidates were successful in any two of the
seven districts in which senators were elected
to-day In the First assembly district Of Eliza
beth, Hughes Dem has an estimated majority
of 700 over Devlan (Rep); in the Second dis
triet Corbin rep has estimated majority
of 300 over Woodruff Dem. J, and in the Third
district Chamberlain rep. has a majority of
200 Over Gibby (Dem.)
Roe, Republican. for the Assembly, elected by
about 400 majority.
The election in this State has resulted in
substantial victory for the Republicans. The
only issue was the LEGISLATURE. in both branches
of which the Democrats will be again in the
minority. The best estimates at midnight give
the Republicans thirteen votes in the next
Senate to eight for the Democrats, and in
the Assembly 33 Republican votes to 81 for the
Democrats. This is a Republican gain of two
in the Senate and loss of several in the Assem-
Oily, OUT u leaVeS hepuollcan majority on joint
ballot. The most surprising feature of the
| turns is the probable election of George II.
Large, Republican, for senator in Demo
cratic Hunterdon county. His majority is
estimated at $50. There has been serious bolt
in Hunterdon, led by the Democratic Advocate.
The bolt is chiefly against the Pidcock wing, and
this result will cause an upheaval in Hunterdon
politics In this county (Mercer), the three
Democratic candidates for Assembly were
showed under, even this Democratic district
