Shortly before midnight Senator Aldrich
said: ~ have without Lincoln 4s votes and
s. is a majority"
The senator had counted thirty-three
doubtful districts in the Democratic column
in making his estimates. A little later the
vote was announced, adding seven votes to
the Republican column-one senator and
six representatives. If Senator Aldrichs
private advices are 10 be trusted, the Re
publicans have won the day.
The Republicans gain nine assemblymen
in Lincoln and Cumberland. Both towns
go Republican a serious disappointment TO
Democrats.
Gloucester elects two Democratic assem-
blymen. They were Republicans last year.
In Warren a Republican senator and Demo
cratic representative were elected. There

the day watching the working Of the Aus
tralian ballot system. Ee will report on its
working to his government.
d. Russell Brown, the Republican guber-
natorial candidate, said 10 a reporter. II
am elected The legislature is overwhelm-
ingly Republican. Senator Aldrich will sue
ceed himself, and the state win choose Re
publican presidential electors We have
taught the party how TO win and have dem
onstrated again in spite Of tremendous diff
culties that the great heart of the people is
true to protection, TO honest money and 10
the Republican party, which espouses the
cause. II Cleveland and the free silver con-
gressmen had been here and spoke oftener
we would have had a walkover."
The town Of Lincoln elected six Repub-
lican assemblymen, thus insuring the Re
publicans at least 81 votes on joint ballot
and giving them control. The Republican
state ticket viii be chosen by the legisla-
ture, and Nelson W. Aldrich win be re-
turned TO the United States senate. The
Democrats made legislative gains in several
towns, but the result is a surprise to the
Democrats. The ordinary stay-at-home vot-
ers came out and overcame the heavy Dem
ocratic registration.
