Neither party gaincd suoh ovorwhelming victories in Tucsday's electious as to stimulato eithei undue pride or cussedness. Wo suuimaiizo rosulls : New York. Democratie Stato ticket bas about 1.3,000 majority. Legislatura Kepubliean in both branches by a roduced majority. Republican majority on joint ballot, '.). New Jersey. - Gon. AlcClellaii clected Governor by 12,500 majority. lioth branches of the Legislaturo Democratie, Massaciiusetts. - ltice, Eepublican candidato for Governor, loads Gaston, Democrat, about IK.üOO, but lacks over 1,000 of a majority. Legislaturo largoly Republican. Pennsylvania. - Douiocrats elect Stato Troasurer, but Itepublicans claim to nave saved the Supremo Judge. l'hiladelphia gave a Kepublican majority for State officers, but olocted the Democratie city ticket. Maryland. Mississippi, and Virginia, Democratie, - the latter two in a sort of jug-handle fashion. Figures unnecessary. Kansas, Nebraska, Minnesota, and Wisconsiu, Republican. Connecticut olects a Eepublican Legislature, by about last year's majority. - - -- Our disappointcd, disgusted, depressedfriend of the Ypsilanti Commercial disturba his readers with this horrible conundrum : " We ask any sensible, thinking man, when a Eepublican President has to adopt Democratie politics, what's the use of such party any longer ? " Nothing, that's a fact, and wo presumo that the Republican masses will gladly accept Bro. Pattison's kind permission to cut loose froin the rotten and sinking craft (that is if they are of his way of thinking). Hear hiui : " Any Eepublican is at liberty to follow the bent of his inclinations, and vote Prohibition, Greenback, or, if ho wishes to tollow Hayes, the Democratie ticket." TllE politico-religious editor of the Pont and Tribune overloaded his stomach on Friday night last, had a terrible night mare in consequence, and tho result was a labored article in Sunday morning's edition, holding up to the public gaze several Democratie caudidates for School Inspector, who had committed tho unpardonable sin of being bom and bred Catholics. We can almost imagino that our cotemporary of tho Lansing llepvbliean, perhaps our nearer neighbor of the Ypsilanti Commercial, has a positiou on tho Poit and Tribune staff. Can it bo ? Tui: Deuiocrats of Detroit swept the board nearly clean on Tnesday, electing every city candidate except the caudidate for Treasurcr, by majorities ranging from 289 to 2,073 - the latter figures being the majority of City Attorney Maybury. Langdon, for Mayor, had 1,436 majority. The new Council wil] stand, Democrats, 1-1 ; Et'publicans, 11, with a tie in the Fourth ward. TllE nomination of Gen. Harían to be Associate-Justice of the Supremo Court still hangs fire in the Sonate ; also tho nomination of John Baxter to be Judge of this circuit, tice ' Emmons deceased ; also that of John Welsh to be Minister to Eugland ; and also tho nominations for tho New. York Custoin House and port. Conkling Í3 hugging the latter, - and not cxactly in lovo it is suspected.
