The Ohio Election.

-ai The Ohio Election. I...I
COLUMBUS, Oct. 15.-Oficial reported
returns have been received from forty
six counties, which show q net Demo
cratic gain in forty-s counties of 10,-
ONO. This gain throughout the State
would elect Allen by over 1000. The
Democrats claim the Legislature in
both branches, which the Republicans
arc disposed to concede. ...
CLEVELAND, Oct. 16.-The State ticket
is still in doubt, with chances favoring
the Democrats by small majority. The
Senate and House will stand about Is
Democratic majority on joint ballot. 81
The Iowa Election.
DEs MolNEs, Oct. 15.-Full returns
from thirty-three counties, or one-third
of the whole State, show Republican
loss over the vote of 1871, of 25, 900.
The anti-monopolists and Democrats
will probably have majority in the
House of Representatives and the Re-
publicans majority in the Senate.
CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-Latest returns
from the Iowa election make the vote on
the State ticket much closer than the
first news would indicate. The Tribune
publishes table of majorities in 43
counties, showing that Carpenter Rep
for Governor is 6,526 ahead-a falling
off from his vote two years ago, which,
if equalled in the rest of the State, will
make the contest very close, if it does
not defeat him. The anti-monopolists
have undoubtedly carried the Legisla-
turesOn joint ballot, and probably in
} both Houses. '.I.
