The Elections.

New York State, according to the reports now at hand, has gone Republican on the State ticket by 35,000 majority. Twenty out of thirty-two Senators are Republicans, and the Assembly is Republican also. The Democratic majority in New York city was reduced from the average fifty and sixty thousand to thirty thousand, which accounts for the victory in the State. Tweed is re-elected by twelve thousand majority, instead of twenty-five thousand as before, and thirty thousand as he threatened.

The Democrats have carried Maryland, the Conservatives have been successful in Virginia.

Massachusetts has gone Republican by an increased vote, though there was little interest in the election.

Wisconsin elected the Republican State ticket by an increased majority.

New Jersey elected a Democratic Governor by the usual majority, while the Republicans have a majority in the Legislature.

Illinois is Republican by 25,000 majority.

Minnesota has not been heard from extensively, but has probably gone Republican by the usual majority.

The “passive policy” of the Democratic party will be more popular than ever.—Det. Post.
