WASHINGTON, october 1880 P. ii.
Additions, returns received this morning iron
Pennsylvania indicate the probable election o
Geary, Republican, over Packer Democrat, fo
Governor, by small majority: say 5000; which
would be a Democratic gainsince the last Presi
dental election OF 25 900 votes.
The Republicans had the exclusive handling OF
theGew registry law in Philadelphia, and sue
ceeded thereby in reducing the Democratic vote
more than 1000.
The latest returns from Ohio declare that the
result for Governor Is very close.
The Cincinnati Radicals telegraph thismornine
that Hayes, Republican, is probably elected by q
small majority; but add that the Legislature has
gone Democratic, thereby ensuring the defeat Of
the Fifteenth amendment.
The Democrats claim that Pendleton is certainly
elected, and are firing salutes in Columbus and
Cincinnati in honor OF their victory.
The large Pendleton gains in Southern Ohio are
almost balanced by the gains Of Hayes in the
northern part Of the State. Hence it is impossi-
BILE, as yet, to get at the definite result.
A special dispatch from Nashville says that
Governor senter'sm message was read to the Leg
isature yesterday. 1t advises the adoption OF the
Fifteenth amendment, and scouts the idea OF re-
pudiation. 1t favors continuation Of the present
school system, and the sale Of delinquent fan
roads, 1t says nothing in regard to Constlt-.-
tional Convention, but favors free franchise

Pennsylvania.
WASHINGTON, october 13.
Careful comparison based on partial returns
from thirty counties, including Philadelphia and
Allegheny Counties, show net Democratic gain
OF nearly 1000 votes. The remaining counties
must average nearly 200 Democratic gain to elect
Packer The majority Of Geary, Republican, In
Philadelphia, by the official count is $3.50.
The indications are that both branches Of the
stat Legislature win be Republican.
The latest dispatches from Philadelphia give
the composition Of the Legislature ss fohows
Senate, Is Republicans to Is Democrats; House OF
Representatives, SO Republicans to II Democrats,
giving the Republicans 90 majority on joint bal
lot.
The Radical papers claim the election OF Geary
By from 5000 to 1o,0oomajority.
The Philadelphia Age, Democmt, claims 5000
majority for Packer.
WASHINGTON, october 13-9 P. N.
The majority Ior Geary IN tnlrty-si4 counees III
Pennsylvania is nearly 5000 votes. The remaining
thirty counties must average one hundred and
ffty.seven Democratic gain to ensure the election
Of Packer. The contest is very close, but the
chances are in favor Of Geary.
Ohio.
From Ohio we hear that Hamilton County gives
Pendleton 500 majority, and elects the entire De
mocratic Municipal ticket. 1t Is now believed that
Pendleton is defeated, but by very small majori-
ty. The corrected returns may yet elect Pendle-
ton. The State House OF Representatives Is
strongly Democratic. The Senate will be Repub-
Iican. This defeats the States sanction Of the
Fifteenth amendment.
A dispatch from Cleveland, Ohio, says that &C
cording to returns from one-third Of the State,
Hayes, Republican, loses 5000 votes since the last
elections This average carried throughout the
State viii elect Hayes by 5000 majority. Many Of
the Democratic strongholds, however, have yet to
be heard from.
The few detailed returns which have been re
ceiyed from Ohio indicate the election Of Pende-
ton.
