We hear Of gross frauds upon the ballot box
in Mitchell county. which, if the report be true

able that the complete official returns will
show a majority for sibley
OHIo.-The complete though not entirely
official returns indicate the re- election of GOV.

Americans, WHO polled %, 900 votes last fall,
have now given their own ticket less than
5000 the balance, 1t is claimed voted mostly
with the Democrats. The Democrats have
carried the Legislature, the Americans not
voting for any separate candidates OF their
Own.

I~SDIANA.-The election was for members of
the Legislature and to FIJI a Congressional va
cancy in the 10Th district. Case Republican,
has has been elected to Congress by 72o ma
jority. The returns for the Legislature thus
far are favorable to the Republicans, but We
cannot yet believe they have carried it. Elk

Legislature a-e strongly Democratic.
KANSAS There is scarcely a doubt that the
returns we gave last week were correct, and
yet the present indications ore that the Free
State party viii lose both branches of the Le-
gislaturs, and are even IN danger of losing the
Congressman. 1t is confidently asserted that
the Free State men legally elected q majority
in both Houses, but the bogns officials at Le-
compton have been tampering with the re-
turns. The correspondent Of the Missouri
Democrat writes
The latest returns give the contest o very
doubtful aspect. Both parties ere claiming
ma,orities. The pro-sayery party admit that
Parrot is elected, but talk OF contesting his
seat. On account of alleged informality in
the appointment OF the precincts, all the re-
turns from the county OF Franklin save these
from one precinct were thrown out. The re
Turns thus refused were from four pIeeiaets

The same fraud is being enacted With seye-
raj other counties. It is said tc be the york
Of Secretary Stanton. Oxford, a little place
in johnson county directly on the Missouri line,
m the FIRST day OF election polled IS votes.
Since then the number has been swelled to
14OO, which makes the pro-slavery minority in
johnson county 1904, instead Of about 200 as
previously reported. The actual vote polled
at K~ickapoo, which turned the scale in Leay-
enworth county, was S45-nore than in Leav-
enworth City with ten times the inhabitants.
A letter from Mark PARROT, Free State dele
gate to Congress, dated at Lawrence, Oct. 9th,
states that the Free State party have elected
"a out Of the 80 members of the House of Rep
resentatives, and that his own majority as
far as received was 200 and increasing with
additional returns. And yet the returns re-
ceived officially at Leoompton up to the latest
dates make PARROTS majority less than ] 900,
and it is suspected that by the time the bal
ance are all made out the bogus officials may
have cheated him out OF his election entirely.
The Washington Union has a despatch dated
at Leaycnworth City, Oct. 18th, which says
1.-THE Democrats have a majority of one in
the Territorial Council, and of two or three in
the lower branch. PARROTS (lepub J majority
