The Late Elections in the East.

The late elections in Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Iowa, and Minnesota, have resulted as was
anticipated in the success Of the Republic
cans.
In Iowa the Republicans have barely OBJ
tanned victory, although for four years pre-.
viously they carried the State by decided
majorities.
Minnesota was a fierce battle ground and
it was considered so important to carry the
State, that large number Of prominent
Republican speakers were imported for the
purpose Of securing victory. The returns
although neagre indicate that the Blacks
have won.
Ohio was we'll contested, and we were not
without hope of the success Of a portion of
the Democratic State ticket, owing to the
unpopuarity of some of the Republican
candidates, but by the accounts, the Repub!i-
cans claim majority Of 10000. This is a
falling off Of 1000 from last year. The Re-
publicans will gain U. S. Senator in place
Of Mr.. Pugh.
The traitor Forney, with his followers,
fused with the Republicans in Pennsylvania,
and the Old keystone is added temporari-
ly to the list Of freedom shrieking States.
The election in Indiana was for local off
ces, and does not seem to have attracted
much attention. The returns leave US in
doubt as to its political complexion.
The Baltimore city election went off with
the usual scenes of Plug Ugly rowdyism.
The X. Ms carried the city by less than
400 majority, against 10000 majority last
year. Ballot-box stufing was checked to a
great extent this time which is due to the
reform movement. The reformers carried
seven wards Of the city, and are conf lent
of great success in the State election, soon
to follow.
