He has carried Now York by at least #O,OOO plurality; he has carried Illinois by reason of the enormous Democratic vote of Chicago; Wisconsin and Indiana are probably Demotyatlo, and New Jersey and Connecticut have joined with the victorious party in building up the vote for its national candidate. Oregon, Colorado and Nevada are believed to have been carried for the People's party, which also lays claim to Kansas. If there has boon a rift anywhere in the solid South it has been in the States of Delaware and West Virginia, which are so close that it is not safe to say whether or not they have remained with the Democrats. A partial showing of the vote of Massachusetts leaves it doubtful. Gov. Russell, the Democratic Chief Magistrate, has apparently secured re-election. At the hour when this page of the paper was sent to press, with incomplete returns, it can bo said in a general way that a Democratic victory lias been won. The next Congress will be perhaps as largely Democratic os the present Congress. The general showing would indicate that enougli State Legislatures have been captured by the Democratic party to return a number of United States Senators sufficient to break the Republican majority in that branch of Congress. The showing which will come from u complete return ot the vote may make some Important changes in this early statement of the outlook. But it is not likely that there will be any change in the general result as giver.
