Electing State and County Tickets and a Work
ing Majority 10 the Legislature.
The predictions of the Republican
leaders for sweeping Republican vic
tory in Delaware came true yesterday.
The state returns about 5000 majority
for Congressman Burton for a second
term, aud State Treasurer Thomas N.
Rawlins is reelected by about the
same figures, and Thomas G. Roe is
elected state auditor. The Republi-
cans elect their county ticket in New
Castle county by about 1000 majority
despite the Union Republican ticket
remaining in the field and over the
Democratic ticket. The next Legisla-
ture will be solidly Republican-iu fact
more so than it has been under the
new constitution. The Republicans
will have twenty-four members of the
! House-two thirds of that body-and
there will be eleven Republicans in
the State Senate-just one short of the
two-thirds that would be necessary to
enable them to put through legislation
of partisan nature. In New Castle
county the Republicans elected eleven
members of the House and two Sena-
tors, and the Democrats elect four
members of the House and two Sena
tors. In this vicinity the Republicans

enough of Wright and were dissatisfied
with his nomination. In Kent county
the Republicans elected seven represen
tatives and three Senators, while the
Democrats elect three representatives
aud one Senator. In Sussex county
the Republicans elect eight representa-
tives and four of the Senators, while
the Democrats get but two representa-
