for Republican Ticket.
New Haven. Ct, Nov. S.-The result
of election in this state today shows a.
general victory for the republican
ticket
The majorities of the candidates on
the state ticket will average fully 15,-
600, with some changes likely when
the larger cities are officially heard
from
The vote shows a falling off of about
6G0O from that cast at the election of
two years ago. The republican candi-
dates appear to have suffered most
from general decrease in the vote, but
no particular disaffsction can be said
to be shown by the general result.
The only real contest was in the sec
ond district, where Congressman N. D.
Sperry, the republican nominee, and
James H. Webb, democrat, were the
opposing candidates. Webb succeeded
in cutting Sperry's majority of two
years ago to a considerable extent, but
the5republicans at a late hour claim the
election of their candidate by a safe
majority.
The returns indicate that the republi-
cans will have a majority of at least
30 in the general assembly. The returns
also indicate that the republicans have
elected their candidates for sheriff in
each of the eight counties.
The fine weather which prevailed to-
day brought out an unusually large vote
for a state election, and at some places
in the state the vote is not falling far
behind that of two years ago.
New Haven, Conn, Nov. S-Chair-
man F'yler of the republican state cen
trail committee made the following
claims at IL o'clock tonight: "The re-
publican party has carried the state
by a majority of between $4,000 and
10000. We have elected republican
congressman and Is or 10 of the SEN
atorial districts will be represented by
republicans. In the house I believe we
will have a majority of at least so. We
also claim the election of a republican
sheriff in each of the eight counties of
the state
Complete returns from 165 towns of
the 1853 in Connecticut give Lounsbury,
republican, 75,057; Morgan, democrat,
SO, 406. The same towns in 1896 gave
Cooke, republican, 100, 999; Sargent,
democratic, 81, 1885, The early estimates
for the republican majority are not
changed.

democrat, SO, 1872 The same towns in
1896 gave Cook, republican, 101, 1874; Sac
gent, democrat, 51,720. The complete
returns from all the four congressional
districts of the state verify the claim
made by Chairman Fyler Of a clean
sweep for the republican party. In the
first district, Congressman Henry, re-
publican, was re-elected by a majority
of 5206. The AZ towns in the district
give Henry. republican, 1873; Vance,

show the election of Congressman Rus
sell by a majority of S716 votes. Con-
gresham Sperry republican was re-
elected in the second congressional dis
trict by a majority of 3345. The demo-
cratic candidate Webb carried New
Haven county, but Sperry was saved
by the heavy vote which he polled in
Middlesex county. The returns received
show the election of 1877 republican rep
FNsentatives and II democrats. The re-
suit in Bridgeport is not yet known,
but with one senatorial district miss
ing, the state win contain 20 republic
cans and three democrats. In Bridge
port a. second count was necessary, and
it will be quite late before the result
there can be known. The through
out the state was much larger than is
generally cast at a state election. The
weather, which was favorable, had
something to do with this
