over Shepard 2S,O92.
New York, Nov. 5.-Returns
from New Jersey came In yerv
slowly, but at midnight the returns
pointed surely to the election Of
franklin Murphy as governor by
several thousand plurality. The
Republicans have . safe majority In
both branches of the legislature.
Richmond, Nov. 5.-Virginis
has been carried by the Democratic
gubernatorial ticket by a majority
estimated at between thirty and
forty thousand. A hundred and
tNcnty-one members of the legisla-
ture were elected, and of these the
Republicans secured ten or twelve.
The negroes did not 20 to the
polls at all in many parts of the
state, and there will certainly be a
great falling off the total vote cast.
New Haven, Conn, Nov. o.
Connecticut today had an election in
every town and district in the state
for delegates to the constitutional
convention, and in two cities, Bridge
port and Ansonia, they also held
citP elections. OF the 1874 delegates
chosen ITO are republicans, 43 demo-
Gratis and l non-partisan, the latter
being delegates endorsed by both
republicans and democrats.
Boston, Nov. 5.-Governor VIM.
Murray Crane and the entire Re-
publican state ticket were reelected
today. Governor Cranes plurality
is estimated at $4,000. Returns
from 27l towns and Is cities out
side of Boston give Crane 1O4,163,
Quincy 1875.
Lincoln, Neb., Nav. 5.-One hun
dred precincts in Nebraska out of
1000 give Sedgewick, Republican,
for supreme judge, 1851 HELEN
deck, fusion 8,319. This indicates
that Republicans carry the state by
from 5000 to 10000.
Columbus, o, Nov. 5.-The early |
returns from the Ohio elections
show Republican losses in parts of
the state and gains elsewhere, insur-
ing the reelection of Governor Nash |
over Col. James Kilbourne by q |
plurality reduced from that Of two
years ago, when Nash had 1868 |
over Mclean.
Baltimore, Nov. 5.-Never In the |
history of local elections was there |
such q mix-up as in today's contest.
Some of the Baltimore ballots will |
not be counted before sun-up.
AT midnight indications were In
favor of the Republicans in Balti-
more. The first and second legisla-
districts are extremely close, with
the chances in favor of the Republic
cans. The latter are sure Of the
third.
Contrary to special expectations,
the election was one of the quietest
experienced here for a long time,
though the interest In the outcome
was intense. The new election law
was being tested and this, together
with the peculiar construction Of .
long ballot, made voting anything
but an easy Task.
Lexington, KY, Nov. 5.-Detail-
ed reports with correct figures on
county majorities are meagre at this
hour, but on the face Of the returns
q Democratic legislature has been
elected and Republican Senator w.
J. Deboe will be succeeded by q
Democrat.
Louisville. XIV. Nov. 5,-Re-
turns of rs of the 100 counties in
Kentucky show a net gain of ten
representatives and one senator for

re-elect the rest of their represents
tives and senators the legislature
Will have 70 Democrats and 80 Re-
publicans in the lower house and q
Democrats and IL Republicans in
