REPUBLICANS TRIUMPHANT.
"PERFIDY AND TREASON" REBUKED.
THE DEMOCRACY ROUTED, DIS
MAYED, DISCOURAGED.


1t is not often IN a nations history that
such complete revolution takes place as
the one of Tuesday last, when the Repub-
licans were victorious in the elections
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. 1t is on
ly when the people become thoroughly
disgusted with the party in power, after
having witnessed its utter incapacity to
govern the country and seen its pledges
broken, that such an uprising takes place,
and the party that for so many years
gave prosperity at home and honor
abroad, is again placed in power in Con-
gress, and also in about all the offices
that were voted for on Tuesday in the
different states.
The returns show that the Republican
representation in the lower branch OF the
next Congress will be $50, a majority over
all of IA A lot of the Democracy's most
famous Congressional leaders have been
elected to stay at home, including Will
son, Bland, McMillin, Hatch, Holman,
Cummings, Springer, Bynum, Tom l..
Johnson, Harter. Cultivate and Enloe.
In the Senate the Republicans have
plurality, Senators Stewart and Jones, Of
Nevada, Populsts, holding the balance of
power. They were formerly Republicans,
and it is thought will act with that party
ters. Counting those two there will be
SO members in the Senate.
The solid south has been badly smash
ed, and in Missouri the disaster to the
Democrats has been simply overwhelm-
ing. In that state IL of the Is Congress-
men were elected by the Republicans,
and the entire state ticket. In Delaware
Marvil, Rep, is elected Governor by 1900
majority, a Republican Congressman is
elected, and the Legislative ticket was
victorious in two of the three counties OF
the state, giving the Republicans ma
iority of six on Joint ballot. In Tonnes
see four Republican Congressman were
elected and a Republican Governor.
One Republican Congressman was
elected in Virginia, and in West Vir-
ginia Prof. Wilson, the author of the
tariff bill, was defeated. All the four
Congressman from that state are Repub-
licans, and that party has 10 majority on
Joint ballot in the Legislature. In Mary
land three Republican Congressman were
elected, and for the first time the Repub-
licans have clear majority in the upper
branch of the Baltimore city council.
The above shows some of the disaster
the Democrats met with in the south.
We will now turn to the north and re-
view that field.
Morton, Rep, was elected Governor of
New York BY $4,000 plurality, and
Rer ublican Lieutenant Governor and Re-
publican Judge of the Court of Appeals
were chosen by over $4,000. The Con-
stitutional Amendments, providing for
better courts, purer elections, making
pool selling illegal, &c, we're carried.
Only five Democratic Congressman out of
thirty -four districts will represent New
York state. The Assembly of that state
has Republican majority of 81, gain of
a. In New York City the Democrats were
completely routed. VIM. l.. Strong was
elected Mayor by about 43, 900 plurality,
and John w. Golf, City Recorder, by
even a greater majority. The Republi-
cans have elected seventeen out of the
thirty-one members of the Board of AL
dermen. The result is mainly important,
from the fact the aldermen will be called
on to re-apportion the city for Assembly
districts.
Pennsylvania, the banner Republican
state, elected twenty-eight out of the
thirty Congressman. The Legislature is
overwhelmingly Republican. Hastings,
R., was elected Governor by 100000.
Ohio gave 1877 900 plurality for the Re-
publican ticket. and only two Democratic
Congressman are left for that state. Mich
igan gives Rich, Rep, for Governor, over
10000 plurality, and elected twelve Con-
gressmen. The Republican ticket IN Iowa
gets 10000, and in Wisconsin $4,000

ture, insuring the election of two Repub-
lcan United States Senators. In Indiana

Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nebraska,
North Dakota, South Dakota, Washing
ton, and Wisconsin all gave decisive Re-
publican plurslities.
Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, and Vir-
ginia went Democratic, but by reduced
majorities.
NEW JERSEY.
New Jersey also completely revolution
lied its usual record by giving Republi
can majority of over $4,000 on the Con
gressional candidates All the Republi-
can candidates for Congress, eight in num-
Der, were elected, an unprecedented vic
tory. Eight of the eleven Assemblymen
from Hudson county are Republicans,
The next House of Assembly will contain
only four Democrats, and there will be
the same number in the Senate.
