Elections To day.

Elections take place to- day in Ohio, Nebraska,
Indiana, Iowa, West Virginia, Arkansas and
Dakota Ohio elects minor state Off GERS and
twenty COngressmen. The principal interest
will be for CoBgressmen. The present de,ega-
ton Of the state In Congress stand thirteen re-
publicans and seven democrats. The demo.
cratic majority in Ohio In the gubernstorisl
election last year was 81; the democrats hope
to keep their majority and gain some Congress
men; the republicans expect that enough OF the
nfty thousand voters who stayed st home last
year will come out to rescue the state for the
party. They are not sanguine, however, of
eiecting all their Congressman; ex-Marshal
Parsons, in the 10th district, and Mr.. Job Ste
Venson in the 2d, will, IL Is supposed, be pretty
hardly pushed The temperance plank will, it
Is thought, lose the republicans some votes in
the state, and on the other hand the democrats
may lase some through their currency lplank
Nebraska will elect state officers, Legislature,
and C0ngressman, and vote for or against
constitutional convention. The new Lezisla-
tUTe will choose a successor 70 United States
Senator Thomas W. Upton, lib. rep.,) who's
term expires in ls15. In 1872, Nebraska chose
republican governor, Robert W. Furnass bv
majority OF 5aiG, and gave esidsnt Grant a
majority o. j. l.. The situation this wear is
somewhat changed by tie indspsndspt or farm

ably carry tie state by a reduced majority

j here are three state tickets before the people
one Of which, the farmers, has been remcdeled

two OF The original nominees -MesSrs. Bennett
aud Biedle- This il the first year the farmers
have nominated an independent ticket. The
movement, which Is not very strong, will aid
the democrats by drawing votes from the re.
publican ticket. The democratic majorities in
the Congressional districts have been massed by
the recent republican superintendent in the p,
81, ard 18th districts. This partly explains why
10 republican nominations were made in those
districts In 1872 the democrats elected Gov.
Hendricks by a majority OF p SIS. This wear
both parties claim the state, AMI ths
democrats seem TO have rather the best grounds.
