Pennsylvania and Virginia.
Colorado elected Judge of its Su
preme Court. The candidates were
Wilbur F. Stone, Democrat, and
Samuel II. Ebert, Republican. Nc
definite returns have yet been re
ceiyed from the interior counties but
Ebert seems to be elected by a ma,
jority of not more than 1900.
Connecticut elected one half of the
State Senate and all the Representa-
tives. The State is strongly Repub-
lican but the Democrats made decid-
ed gains in the Legislature

ton.
Iowa elected a Governor and other

lewaite, Republican. The real con
test was between Whiting and Lar
rabee. Larabee is probably elected
by about 5000 or 5000 majority
Two years ago the Republican ma.
jority was 1921.
Maryland elected Comptroller,
Clerk of the Court of Appeals, one
half of the State Senate, full House
of Delegates and county officers The
candidates for Comptroller were J.
Frank Turner, Democrat; Francis

carried the State by not less than
$4,000 majority, the largest for many
years.

other State officers and an entire
Legislature. The candidates for
Governor were Frederick O. Prince.
Democrat; Geo. ID. Robinson, Repub-
lican; James Sumner, Greenbacker.
and Thomas c. Lathrop, Prohibition
list. Robinson was reelected by a
plurality of $4,000 and a full Repub-
lican State ticket elected. The Dem
ocrats gained six and perhaps seven
State Senators. The election was
very quiet and no intoxicants were
allowed to be sold or given away in
the State on election day.
In Mississippi there was a very
light vote polled, there being but one
ticket in the field-Democratic. A
Governor, other State officers and a
Legislature were elected. Robert
Lowry was elected Governor.
Nebraska elected Judge of the
Supreme Court and two Regents of
the State University. Amasa Cobb,
Republican, is elected Judge by 49,
900 majority, which is trihing
gain over the vote last year.
New Jersey elected one-third of
its Senators and all it's Assembly.
The Republicans retain control of
the State, having majority on joint
ballot. The complexion of the next
Legislature will be as follows: Sen
ate, Republicans, 13; Democrats, 8;
House, Republicans, 80; Democrats,
27; Independent Democrat, l. This
gives Republican majority of 8 on
joint ballot.
New York elected a Governor and
other State officers, an entire Legis-
lature and five Justices of the Su-
preme Court. David B. Hill Demo
ocratic candidate for Governor, was
elected by plurality of $4,000, in
spite of the combined opposition of
the Republicans and Mugwumps.
The other candidates for Governor
were Ira Davenport, Republican;
George o. Jones, Greenbacker, and
Henry Clay Bascom, Prohibitionist.
The Legislature remains Republican.
New York was looked to with intense
interest by the entire country and it's
declaration is certainly a pointer for
1888. AS New York goes so goes
the Presidency. There can be now
but little doubt of Democratic sue
cess in '88. Begin to brush up your
tin horns.
Pennsylvania elected a State
Treasurer and county officers. The
candidates for Treasurer were Con
rad B. Day, Democrat; Mathew S.
Quay, Republican; D. w. Whitney,
Greenbacker, and Barr Spangler,
Prohibitionist. Quay was elected
by majority of about 10000. In
1884 the State gave Blaine a MAORI
ty of 81, 900; Republican loss of 3D.
900. One-more sweep like that and
the Keystone State is ours.
The election in Virginia was for
Governor, Lieutenant Governor, At
torney-General, twenty Senators and
a full House of Delegates-100 in
number. General Fitzhugh Lee,
Democratic candidate for Governor,
was elected by majority of 10000,
over John S. Wise, Republican. A
Democratic Legislature was elected,
thus insuring United States Sena-
tor to succeed Malone, one of the
most corrupt and unprincipled poll
ticians in the whole country.
To sum up, we have gained at ev-
cry important point. Everything is
lovely and the paths are made
straight for 1888.
