THE EAST.
Massachusetts.

The indications are that Massachusetts
has given Greenhalge a majority of 1900,
a gain of 10000 over last year. The prob
abilities are that eleven out OF the thirteen
congressman will be elected and that the
lower house will easily have a republican
majority. Massachusetts is likely to have
a solid republican delegation in Congress.
New Hampshire.
The election in New Hampshire was for
governor and legislature to elect a United
States Senator to succeed VIM. E. Chandler
and members of Congress. Returns indicate
that the republicans have swept the state.
Senator Chandler will be returned.
Rhode Island.
The election in Rhode Island was for
Congressman. Returns indicate that the re-
publicans have elected both Congressman.
Connecticut.
The election in Connecticut was for gov
ernor and other state officers, legislature
and members Of Congress. Returns indi-
cate that the republicans have elected the
state ticket, with Coffin at its head, and all
four members of Congress. Returns from
three election districts in New Haven show
a republican majority and large gains on
the whole ticket.
Piggott, the democratic congressional can
didate FROM New Haven, was cut consider
ably. Republicans maintain that Piggott
must have majority Of 1,SOO in the city
OF New Haven to win in the district. Re-
ports from Waterbury, Middletown and
other towns in the second congressional
district are that Congressman Piggott is
running behind his ticket
Pennsylvania.
The republicans have carried Pennsyl-
vania by a majority which bids fair to ex-
coed 10000. Gen. Hastings is elected gov
ernor, Walter Lyon, lieutenant governor;
James w. Latta, secretary of internal af-
fairs and Amos H. Mylin, auditor general,
by majorities many times larger than were
ever before given candidates for these Of
and = JI1,kb
the republican candidates for Congressman
at-large, will have equally decisive MAORI
ties
There are considerable changes in the
congressional delegation. The republicans
gain a member in Philadelphia in place of
McAleer they have carried the old-time DEM
ocratic Sth district, electing Judge Kirkpa-
trick to succeed Mutchler; they have elected
republicans to succeed Reilly in Schuylkill,
Hines in Luzerne Sipe in the Fayette dis
trict and most likely Sibley in the Erie dis
trict, while 1t Is not improbable they have
carried the York district. The returns from
the seventeenth district, where Kulp. repub-
lican, and Buckalew, democrat are the
candidates, are 50 incomplete that 1t cannot
now be told which has succeeded. This Is
true also Of the twenty-eighth district where
Arnold, republican, and Williams, democrat,
are the candidates.
It looks now however, az II there had
been a certain republican gain Of seven Of
the ten congressional districts now repre-
one or two more. The legislature will be
overwhelmingly republican. The democrats
will have less than one-fourth Of the house
and less than one-ffth Of the Senate.
New Jersey.
The vote In New Jersey was light. The re-
turns Of the total vote polled show the
heaviest voting in the republican districts
The greatest falling off has been In the
democratic districts. The republicans claim
six of the eight Congressman.
The democrats concede five congressman
to the republicans and claim the other
three.
The republicans claim a two-thirds ma
tority In the assembly and election Of re-
publican to succeed John r. Mcpherson as
United States Senator.
