slight Democratic gain.
The New York election was for governor
and other state officers five justices of the
supreme court, aud full legislature. The
unexpected election Of HILL the Democratic
candidate, is largely due to the fact that the
country districts did not do as well AZ was
expected Of them, their vote falling 10000
below the estimate. Hills majority in the
state will reach from 10 600 to 1900. His
majority in the city is AZ, Ol2, and in Kings
county, (Brooklyn) between 1900 and TO-
600. The fact that Hills vote in New York
ran 1000 ahead Of Cleveland's a year ago
shows that the Irish vote which went to
Blaine last year has returned to the Demo
cratic party. The legislature is strongly Re-
publican in both branches. The Senate
stands 81 Republicans to IL Democrats; the
Assembly, rs Republicans to 53 Democrats,
giving q Republican majority on joint ballot
of 80. The large Republican majority in the
senate lnBuTeB the eleCtlOu VI utpuDlchu

In Virginia the election was for state Off
GERS and legislature. Malone comedies the
election of Fitzhugh Lee, Bourbon Democrat,
by q majority which will probably reach 90
600. Both houses Of the legislature will be
strongly Democratic Malone summed up
the situation last Tuesday night in the fol-
lowing despatch:
1.-THE Democrats have carried the state and
legislative ticket by the inscriptions use OF
the election machinery, over which they have
absolute control, and which was provided by
their last usurping legislature expressly with
this end in view"

lsture. A Jackson despatch says The cleo.
ton was the most quiet and peaceabe known
in 20 years, and the vote was unusaa ly
light. The negroes generally did not vote
The light vote is to be accounted for by the
fact that there was no regular ticket in the
field except the regular Democratic state tick.
ct. In few counties where local disatfec-
tions existed the vote is divided, and a few
Independents may be elected to the legisla-
ture and to county offices.
In Iowa, which also elected state officers
aud legislature, the indications on Tuesday
night were generally those of Republican
gains. There we're four state tickets in the
uclu-hopuOlChI, ublOu, representing DGul-
ocrats and Gree nbackers, the straightout or
st. John Prohibitionists and the straight
Greenbackers. The chief state issue involved
was the repeal or further trial of prohibition,
the Fusion platform demanding the repeal
| of prohibition, and the Republican platform
asking for a fair trial of the prohibitory law
before any modification is made.
Connecticut elected half its state senate and
house of representatives. The complexion
of the latter will be: Republicans, 129
Democrats, 112; Independents, 2. or the
~ Senators chosen each party elects six. OF

cans and five Democrats making the mex
senate stand IS Republicans aud IL Demo
Gratis. This gives the Republicans a working
majority in both branches.
New Jersey elected Senators in seven coun
ties and members of Assembly in all the &

publican. The new senate will be Repub
lican by five majority, while the house il
close.

The election WAS a quiet one and the indica
tons point to Democratic success in nearlI
all of the counties and a working Democrats
majority in both branches of the legislature.

more than two-thirds full vote.
