The Republicans, under the leadership of Senat i Blaine, made a thorough, canvass of tho State, and claimed that they would carry tho State by from 5,000 to 10,000. The betting men seemed to place conlidence in these claims, and offered to place their money accordingly, but there were no takers. Now, right upon the Lecls of these claims of the opposing I artios, comes tho news that, so fas as can be determined, there is a division of the spoils, the fusionists electing two Congressmen and the Governor, while the Ropublibans carry both blanches of the Legislature.
