The Ohio state Ticket Divided Between Re-
p ...a publicans and Democrats,
COLUMBUS, o., Oct. 1.-THE result for
Governor is still doubtful. The figures
made at midnight last night by both par
ties are exceedingly close. A heavy Re-
publican loss in lAshtabula county is one of
the things that reduces the majority claim
ed for Noyes to-day. The latest figures
are to the effect that the Democratic gain
in ten or eleven counties, which have only
been heard from through rumors, will nos
have to be as large rs the average gain Of
other counties to elect Allen by a small
majority. If Allen should be elected by %
majority less than five hundred, there will
still be doubt as to the balance of the State
ticket. The meagre returns OH other State
officers indicate that the Republican candi-
date for Governor ran little behind his
ticket
WASHINGTON, ID. G, Oct. lI.-GrGnt

The following dispacah from Ohio was
received at the Interior Department this
afternoon: We think Allen is elected.
