SOME ELECTION AFTERMATH

just to hand contain some interesting , details of the recent election, whlcf being of minor and local importance
 were not mentioned in the press dis patches. Thus, for instance, it appear! that the next assembly of New York
 will stand 106 republicans to twenty
 two democrats. In the senate four
 teen are holdover democrats and eigh
 teen holdover republicans, so that the
 republicans have a majority of four in
 the senate and elghty-four in the as-
 sembly.
 In New Jersey the legislature will have seventy-three republicans out Of eighty one members; and of the eight democrats, four are holdover sena- tors. The democrats elected only four members of the legislature in the whole state.
 In Maryland the republicans have | elected threa congressman, and there will be contests in the other three dis tricts The republicans control the city council of Baltimore for the first time in thirty years and will be able to oust the ring which has controlled the city since the war.
 In Georgia the frauds were so great that even the democratic papers are protesting; thus the Evening Commer- clal discussing the election in the Tenth district which includes Richmond county says:
 The election in Richmond, where nearly 16, 900 votes were boiled Tn a total population of 40,000, was ore of the most fragrant wrongs against the rights of freemen that ever was committed Tn Georgia; 1t was a dammable steal for which there was neither palliation nor justification. Every sense of juctice and honesty cries out against the out rage, and if Congressman Black, who has gained some reputation on account of his advocacy of Arcadian methods, does not repudiate it and call for purgs ing of the ballot in defense of an in- corruptible election he will become a willing party to system of political llIdl VIII ONChbuohy the very foundation of civil government. If the purging of the ballot cannot be had ther in the interest of common honesty MT. Black should scorn to accept the commission rendered Tn such a way. Every honest man in Georgia knows that Richmond county cannot poll the vote that was counted by her managers yesterday.
 It is understood that Mir. Black has refused to accept the seat given him by | fraud and that Tom Watson, his op- ponent, will receive the place.
 In Michigan there will be no demo crats in the legislature, ard the con- gressional delegation is solidly republic an for the first time in twenty years.
 In Minnesota the legislature stands 136 republicans to thirty-eight demo- crats and popuIists. The fusion can- didgtes were particularly badly beaten in Minnesota.
 Wisconsion will have a legislature with a republican majority of seven in the senate, and eighty-two republi- cans to seventeen democrats in the as sembly.
 New Hampshire's legislature will have 13 republicans out of 2i senators and PIP republicans out of $50 mem oers of the assembly.
 Some of the comments of prominent democrats on the result are also both amusing and instructive. Thus sena- tor Smith of New Jersey says the defeat of bis party was due to ''the acts of the party in power, and that the people Deither want free trade nor an income tax"
 But the most amusing comment IS this gem attributed to cabinet officer: 'Who else but Cleveland looms up today in the party who can lead with any show of success? He is stronger today than ever, and the melcontents must come to him, I do not believe he wants the nomination in 1S96 I believe he is tired of the presidency, but who is there to look forward to? At the present time no one but Cleveland."-L. A. Express.
