NEW JERSEY ELECTIONS.
Republicans Generally victorius, but by
Kednced Mniorities.

TRENTON. n. j.. April n.-Chnrter
elections were held throughout this State
to-day. and as this is the presidential
year, considerable interest was taken in
the result. While the Republicans, gem
orally speaking, have been victorious all
over the State. nevertheless tlieir ma
jorities have been cut down, and they
have lost in one or two of the places
where they felt safe.
The hottest tight was in Newark, where
James NJ. Seymour headed the Democrat
ic t,eHt, and julius A. Lebucner the
Republican. The Republicans lrcame
dissatisfied, and openly said So but not
vithstanding this. his friends claimed ne
would be- elected. The result was that
the Democrats went 10 work, ana when
th. returns wire footed up tonight II
was discovered that their standard-oeh

licans elected four aldermen. IN Demo-
Gratis three and the socialists one. The
election OF the socialist. Mcclure, in

majority OF between eight hundred and

day.
In Passaic, the Republicans were VIC
Jorious as they were also I'm Railway and

leans have elected the majority, but
tho vote for Mayor resulted in a tie and
another election TO MI that Office will
