commence Tor a party victory IN the
municipal election next month.
MISSISSIPPI.
JACKSON, MISS, November 5.-The
weather today was clear and cold, but
as only the offices of state treasurer
and secretary of state were to be filled
little interest was manifested in the
election. Private kilograms from
larger towns indicate that temporary
incumbents-George w. Carlisle and
Joseph w. Powers, who are appoin-
tees of Governor Longino-have been
elected.
SOUTH DAKOTA.
Sioux FALLS, S. D., Nov. BE
turns are coming in slowly. The vote
was light over the state, only circuit
judges being elected. At midnight
the indications are that the Republi-
cans elected all eight Judges, but the
Democrats claim the election of Ben
nett in the third and McGee in the
seventh districts, but returns from
these districts are too meager to base
definite estimates upon.
VIRGINIA.
RICHMOND, VA, Nov. j.-The latest
returns from the state indicate that
the majority for the Democratic gu
bernatorial ticket will be about 40
900: but the Republicans have made
unexpectedly large gains in the legis-
lature, and will have probably not
less than 20 members in that body, as
against four last session.
RHODE ISLAND.
PROVIDENCE, r. l., Nov. with
scarcely half the districts in the state
heard from, the Republican plurality
for the state ticket promises to run
well over 5000. This is a net loss of
9, 500 from last year, due to the light
vote. Seventy districts in the state
out of 139 give Gregory, Rep, 10, 1873,
Garvin, Dem, 6,172. The General
Assembly will be Republican strong
ly. Pawtucket and Woonsocket have
elected Democratic mayors, as also
has Providence. In Newport and
Central Falls the contest is close.
IOWA.
Dies MONIES, IA.-Nov. 5.-The re-
suit in Iowa is remarkable. With a
marked falling off in the vote through
out the state, the loss in some pre-
cincts being 40 and 80 per cent, and
the average loss of the state being
one fifth of the total vote of two years
ago, A, b. Cummins, the Republican
candidate has been elected by a plu-
rality of something like $4,000, the
largest ever given governor in this
state.
The entire Republican state ticket
is elected by similar pluraiities, and
some extraordinary gains have been
made. Chairman Spence, of the Re-
publican State Central Committee,
said at midnight:
I'VE will carry the state by 10000
and will make good gains in the leg
islature.
The Repu blicans claim that in the
legislative contests they have gained
three or four members to add to their
majority in the Senate, while in the
House their now great majority will
be increased by seven or eight Mr..
Cummins faid:
THE percentage of majority for
the Republican party is as large as
any the party has ever had. 1t could
moi have been any larger. am much
gratifled at the result
NEW JERSEY.
TRENTON, N. j., Nov. 5.-Late re-
turns bear out the earlier indications
that Franklin Murphy, Rep, has
been elected by about 10000 plurality.
Partial returns from different coun-
ties show that most of them gave
about the same pluralities as were
given three years ago.. when Voor-
hees, Rep, was elected governor by
about 5,4O0 plurality. One of the ex-
ceptions is Essex county, which gave
Voorhees, 4,67S, and is expected to be
carried by Murphy by from 5000 to
10000.
Both branches of the legislature
will be Republican.
KANSAS.
Topeka, KAN, Nov. local cleo
tions were held in every county in
Kansas today, county commissioners
and school trustees being the only
officers elected. Republicans were
generally successful.
While the election was uninterest-
ing, as far as issues were concerned,
it was important chiefly in noting the
way in which the political wind is
blowing. The Republicans claim that
in the results of today they can fore
cast safe majority for the Republi-
cans in the next legislature.
