complete from this county (Wayne) show a
four-hfths vote polled. For the state ticket the
democratic plurality OF two years ago is cut
down by 1,264 votes. AS this county is
strongly democratic, this would seem TO indi-
cate q heavy democratic loss, il the same
ratio Of loss is reported throughout the state.
As yet q full report has not been received from
any other county. However, all reports re-
ceived show republican gains, and there seems
little ground for the claim of "A fusion victory.
The congressman are as follows: First district,

sensation..in naval circles. Whitehead tor
pedo, containing SO pounds OF gun cotton, was
lashed alongside the hull of the ironclad Re

spite every possible advantage thus given TO
the torpedo, the vessel was not materially
injured. some rents were made inside, the
coal In the bunkers was scattered, the SIX lights
smashed, but The water-tight buikhead re-
mained. The Resistance would have been able
in actual warfare To continue lighting and seek
shelter where She pleased. A number OF naval
officials had assem- bled confidently expecting
to see the ironciad blown To pieces. Surprise
and disappointment are equally great. From
this experiment Ii is difficult To resist the i'm
preston that the value OF the Whitehead tor
