The ELECTIONS TO-DAY,

Great interest Is felt in the result of the in, :
pOrtant elections TO take place to-day, and we
therefore give considerable space to figures
and data useful as matter of reference The
elections 10 take place day are in Pennsylya.
MIA, Ohio, Indiana and Iowa.
The vote in Pennsylvania for the past few
years has been as follows:
1850. Lincolns majority 596Is
1e62. Slenker, Auditor General, demo-
crauc.) majority. -............ 1881
1868 Curtin, Governor, (Republican,)
- majority -..-..--............... ,325
1o64. Lincoln's majority. ...2tO 75
1-65. Hartranft, Auditor General, (Re-
puohcan,) majority -, ESQ
1t thus appears that IN 1862 the Democrats
oyercame Republican majority of nearly
sixty thousand OF two years before, and elected
their candidate for Auditor General by a ma
JOrlty OF over three thousand Since 1852 the
Republicans have each year carried the STATE
by small majority. General Geary, the
present candidate, in addition to having 3 good
wal b, record, Is personally very popular, where
as Peace Democrat. In 1850 the whole vote
of the State for President was 47S,4i2: in I-6i
ior Presldent. 572,aG'. being an increase In
four years of about 10000. We NAV safely es
innate the vote to-day, therefore, at full 6U0.OtO
as the contest has been very animated one
such heing The case, and the Republican ma
Jorlty last year being but 22,0oO, the result is
necessarily IN doubt. The Conservatives have
made an active campaign, and hope 10 gain
al least, some Of the Congressional Districts

The Republicans cannot hope 70 overcome
the large Democratic majorifies OF about two
thousand in the two districts, now held by the
latter. On the contrary. they may lose two or
three districts which were secured by very
small maloritIes two years ago. In 1857 the
total vote OF the State was 442.44I; in 1861,
47u,772- 1t will probably be not far from $4,000
