THE ELECTIONS.

Il
yesterday says: 1t is evident, however,
that the vote was generally light, the only
marked difference being in localities
where the new negro vote was brought
out The majority claimed by the Radi-
Gals in Ohio is undoubtedly due to the ap-
pearRnce of this element at the polls foI
the first time. While the Democracy held
their own in Ohio, they have made hand
some gains of Congressman in Pennsyl-
vania and Indiana. From the close Con-
| gressional districts the returns are too
light to indicate with certainty who are
elected. The probabilities favor Col
Campbell in Schenck's district, and for
Jewett in the Seventh district of Ohio.
Nothing has yet been heard from Iowa
and Nebraska
The Tribune of yesterday, on the other
hand, sets down the returns already as
certained as indicating substantial Re
| publican victory. 1t says the returOs
from Pennsylvania indicate that the Re
| publicans have held their own in Con-
gressmen, aud in certain portions of the
State have done even better than could
reasonably have been expected. 1t re-
cords the reelection of VIM. ID. Kelley
in the fourth district by handsome ma
/ Jointly, in spite of the Republican oppo-
sitiOn which he had TO encounter. 1t says
in the second district the indications are
that ]. V. Greedy, independent Republic
can, supported by the Democrats, is
elected by a small majority over Chas.
O'Neal, the present Republican member.
In the third, Leonard Myers, Republican,
is reelected. In the fifth, Bucks county
and part of Philadelphia, the scattering
returns received give hopes of the cleo
tons of A. C. Harner, Republican, over
John R. Reading, the present Democratic
member. John B. Packer, Republican,
is collected by handsome majority in
the fourteenth district. In the sixteenth
the contest is close, and it it feared that
Cessna, the present member, has been de-
feated by B. F. Myeis, Democrat, though
at present both parties claim success. The
twelfth district, Luzerne and Susquehan
ma, is reported TO have returned l.. D.
Shoemaker, Republican. Gen. Negley
is reelected by about 1900 majority in
the twenty-second Pittsburgh district, and
Ebenezer McJunkin, Republican, by
about 2, 100 in the twenty third district.
The regular Republican ticket for county
officers in Allegheny is also elected by
some thousand.
The Republicans of Newark, New Jer-
sey, at the charter election. yesterday,
sweep the city by a majority of about
$500, a gain of nearly 1000.
NV YORK, Oct 13.-The World, this

returns are still incomplete, the news is
coming in better and better for the Demo-
Gratis.
The Tribune thinks the additional re-
urns received from Pennsylvania do not
materially change the appearance from
the previous accoU nts, and considers the
9th, 18th, 10th and 2lst districts as
doubtful cOnceding the probable loss of
the latter.
Pennsylvania.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. l3.-The 5th
Congressional district is still in doubt.
The 9th district probably Democratic.

sion.
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 13.-The judges
of the election returns met this morning,
and much excitement occurred outside
the building, caused by parties anxious to
obtain entrance into the building. A man
named Shea made an attempt to force his
way into the room. A struggle followed,
and he was shot by Alexander Crawford,
one of the judges of 9th ward. The ball
entered the neck and the wound is seri-
GUS. Crawford and three others were ar
rested. They have been taken before
Judge Allison on writs of habess corpus.
Several fights and much confusion have
occurred, delaying the official count.
Doubtful Districts
HARRIsBURG, Pa, Oct 13.-The latest
reports from the 10th Congressional dis
trict make Myers, Dem, apparent ma

vote to determine with certainty who is
elected.

the 9Th district can only be settled by the
official returns of Bucks county. The

jority,
Indiana.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. l3.-Very few re-
liable returns have been received this
morning, ard the result on the State

close that it will probably require the
official returns 10 determine the result.
The result for Congress in the 4th dis
trict is still doubtful. The returns re-
ceived to-day are more favorable to the
election of GOodipg, Democrat.
