COLUMBUS, October 13.-The weather
was most propitious for the election in
Ohio to-day. The candidates to be
elected are Secretary of State, two
Judges and Clerk of the Supreme Court,
School Commissioner, member of the
Board of Public Works, members OF
Congress. and county officers.
Private advices from Republican
sources in Toledo concede the election oil
Hurd, Democrat, to Congress.
THE VICTORY COMPLETE
Scattering returns received here indi-
cate that the Democratic State ticket IS
elected, and that they also carry the
close Congressional districts.
Up to midnight, returns of the vote on
Secretary of State have been received
from 28l townships and wards, giving a
net Democratic gain of 1000 over Aliens
majority in 1873. At this ratio the
Democratic majority in the State will be
TWENTY-FIVE thousand, but few returns
have been received upon the remainder
of the State ticket or Congress. The In
dications are that the Democrats have
carried the doubtful districts.
Garfield, Republican, in the Nineteenth
district, and Van Vorhees, Republican
in the Fifteenth district, are no doub
elected to Congress. If the partial re
turns from the Ninth and Tenth dis
tricts can BE taken as fair index o
what the full returns will be, both Rob
inson and Charles Foster are defeated
for Congress.
