Sussex Counties and in each of the sixty
Assembly Districts. The election resulted

Iowa

A dispatch from Des Moines, Iowa, says
returns show the reelection of Governor
Boies, Democrat, by an increased plurality
over that received by him two years ago.
This result has been obtained by an in
creased majority in the strong Democratic
counties on the Mississippi and on the Mis-
souri, slope. where it was supposed the DEM

yearsago. Gains are also reported from the

State ticket is elected. Governor Boies's
majority will be about 5000, with the rest

Virginia

The election in Virginia was unexciting,
being for members of the lower House and
half of the Senate. The Republicans made
nominations in few counties only. The
House will be composed of Demo-
Gratis who are members OF the Alliance.
The returns are all favorable to the Demo-
Gratis Indeed, not single county in the
State, as far as heard from, shows the cleo
tion of Republican or Independent. The
Democrats will have thirty y-eight members
of the Senate, Republicans only two, and the
Independents none. In the House of Dele
gates the Democrats will have far more than
two-thirds and may have seven-eights Of the
100 members elected to that body.

Kansas.

Ten District Judges were voted for in
Kansas, and in each Of the eighteen counties
the following officers: Treasurer, Clerk.
Sheriff, Register of Deeds, Surveyor, Cor
oner and one County Commissioner. De-
spatches from various counties in Kansas
show that the Alliance did not hold its own.
The counties show almost invariably Re
publican victories or Republican gains. In
the country the Republicans appear to have
regained their foothold, while in the cities
the Alliance has made slight gains. In the
Judicial Districts the returns at hand indi-
cate that the Alliance met wholesale defeat.
The Republicans and Democrats combined
against the Alliance candidates. or the ten
District Judges to be elected. the Republi-
can have probably elected eight.
