Curtn's majority. ............... H'4oI
The seventeen counties already heard from officially
comprse more than half the voting population of the
State If the Democrats gain in the remaining coun-
ties at the same rate they have in these, they VIII
lose the State by some 10000 Probably the ma
oiity agsinst them will be not more than S,ooo or
10 600, as the unofficial returns from many counties
point to such result. 1t is certain that Daw'
son, Dem, is elected in the XXlst District over
Stewart, Union, by over 200 majority.
| We have little more from Ohio Indiana and
Iowa. The Democratic majorities will not be any
thing like the figures first represented. bnt there Ii
no mistake about their winnings in Congress in
Ohio. 1t may be that they have got their State
officers in by thousand or two; bat they have
pretty surely fourteen members Of Congress, to five
Union. and in Indiana they say seven to four-bu,
this is not SO sure. All the six Iowa members are
Union.

tell the truth, but to whom be is now scld ont body
and boots The District gave 4, 3l2 Republican votes
in 1860, and $3.50 for Fusion. Since then the num-
Der Of votes must have greatly increased, notwith-
