Governors shift mostly in Northern and Western states, with eleven of fifteen governors elected Democrats. Several long-time GOP committee members lost seats, and some districts remain uncounted. A state-by-state table outlines party representation.

The New York Commercial Advertiser notes roses will lead this winter with fancy varieties and hybrids.
