The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1888-11-10

RPpunilcanS spent tae nlSnG III re-
joicing over the proud record of the
day. Not enough returns are yet in
to settle the governorship of New
York. but the probabilities at this
writing are in Hill's favor, although
Miller may yet overcome his lead.
Grant, Tammany's candidate, is cleo
ted mayor of New York city. His
vote was 1O7, 537 against 6S,134 tor
Hewitt, and 6S,721 for Erhardt.
From all parts of New York State
the returns show the great and in
creasing strength of the party of pro-
lection.
1t is cheering story of Republican
gains from all around. Maine will
even give Harrison heavier major
ity than it gave Blaine. The Re-
publicans gain one congressman in
New Hampshire, and. as usual,
sweep the state by an overwhelming
majority. In Vermont, Massachu-
sets, Iowa and Michigan the Repub-
lican msjorites are largely increased
over those of 1884. Rhode Island
gives Harrison 1000 majority. From
Delaware comes the surprising intel
ligence that the Republican gains in
Secretary Bayard's state are likely to
lead to the election of a Republican
United States Senator to succeed
Salisbury. Cleveland's majority in
this state has also been reduced.
The few returns received up to one
O'Clock from Indian indicated large
Republican gains. Both parties are
still claiming the state, but the
chances are highly favorable to the
Republicans. The count is unusually
slow, owing to the long ticket and
heavy vote, The widest excitement
prevails in indianapolis, and great
crowds are gathered in front of Gen
eral Harrison's residence, cheering
him Justify. Ohio gives a splendid
majority for Harrison. Connecticut
is claimed by the Republicans, and
bob" Vance is defeated for Con-
gress. The Democrats claim New
Jersey by about 5000 plurality, but
in many towns there are Republican
gains.
While Cleveland's majority will be
i reduced in Virginia, the Democrats
claim gain of four Congressman in
the Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Tenth /;
but their claims are disputed by the
Republicans. In one or two of these
districts the official count will prob
ably be necessary to decide. In Nor
folk county the Republican gain is
400, and quite a number of towns
show Republican gains.
Morris Thomas was defeated for
the clerkship of the new Circuit
Court. This announcement will be
received with unmixed qualification
by all who believe in decent methods
in politics and honesty in the admin
istration of public affairs. His NOM
ination was an insult to this commu-
nifty so direct and paIpable that The
american during the campaign de-
clined to mention his name, and is
only induced to do so now to point a
moral though not to adorn tale.
CONGRESS REPUBLICAN.
WASHINGTON, November cat
midnight from the best Information
that can be obtained here from the
returns now in, and from correspon-
dence which has been had with COM
mitteemen throughout the country it
is estimated that the next House will
stand about I76 Republicans and 149
Democrats. This will give Repub-
lican majority of over twenty. The
gains are in Massachusetts, Connec.
ticut, New Hampshire, New York
and some of the Western and South
ern states. OF course, the estimate
may be lowered somewhat by later
returns, but it seems perfectly safe to
predict that the next House will con-
tain good Republican working ma
