THE NOVEMBER ELECTIONS

We herewith give the general result of the November elections. The latest information received of the elections held in forty-two states on Tuesday, November 8, shows that twenty-four of the states were carried by Republicans, fourteen by the Democrats, and four by Fusionists. This statement is based in most case on the vote of the head of the ticket. The four states apparently carried by the Fusionists are Colorado, Idaho, Minnesota, and Montana. Those carried by the Republicans, California, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Dakota, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Wyoming. Of these, however, Nevada and Nebraska are in doubt.

Those going Democratic were Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia.

The United States Senate is Republican by a good majority, and the House of Representatives by a small majority. It now seems that the Senate will contain fifty-five Republicans, twenty-six Democrats, four Populists, and four Silverites. Two states are in doubt.
