Republicans Much Pleased.
Fine Showing in the Country—The Outlook Bright for the Presidential Contest.
Virginia went Democratic as usual, while the south-western portion of it has gone Republican. There will be 18 Republicans in the legislature.
In the contest in Henrico county for treasurer, Todd was elected over Brauer, although the latter had been endured by the Democratic State Committee. J. W. Franklin, (colored), was elected Commissioner of Revenue in Charles City county.
In the other sections in the country, the Democrats find cold comfort. The returns are satisfactory to the Republicans and foreshadow the election of a Republican president next year.
The result in New York State indicates that this commonwealth will be Republican in a presidential contest.
McClellan, Tammany’s candidate for mayor of New York City, was elected over Low by only 63,000 votes. In a presidential year, the majority would be overcome by the Republican majority from the counties and cities outside, and would insure a Republican majority in the State.
Ohio comes with a plurality of 115,000 for Herrick, Republican candidate for Governor. Maryland was close on the governorship, the Democratic candidate winning by only 1,500 plurality.
