larger than ever cast for any man elected

REPUBLICAN GAINS GENERALLY.
DUBUQUE, Oct. IA. - Specials TO the
Dubuque Times from nearly all the coun-
ties in northern and central Iowa show con
siderable republican gains for Kirkwoo
over the majorities Of last year. when the
republican candidate for secretary of state
had %. 900 majority. This would indicate
his election by from IS 900 TO 40. 900 major
itY. The legislature will be much more
strongly republican than in years ago,
insuring the election Of q republican United
States senator in place of senator Wright.
In northern Iowa, the republicans will
probably lose a senator in Clayton county,
but will probably gain one in Jackson. They
gain one representative in Linn. three in
Dubuque. two in Jones ,one in Winneshiek,
one in Clinton, and one in Chickawsga. 10
this county the republicans will have a
clean republican representation in the legis-
lsture for the first time in its history, hav-
ing, it is now believed. elected all the mem
bers.

bus special says all the returns are 10 ex-
cept from two counties If these two poll
the same vote as in 1873. Hayes will have
6. 800 majority. The chairman of the dem
ocratic committee says if Hayes is not elect
cd BY over 1000 majority and the democrats
get either branch OF the general assembly,
be proposes to contest Hayes election on
the ground of frauds in Cuyahogs county.
NEARLY COMPLETE RETURNS.
CoLuxBus. Oct. H.-Returns, considered
reliable. from IS counties received BY the
republican state committee, show a major
ity of three thousand four hundred sixty
three for Hayes. The counties of Wood,
Carroll and Delaware, yet to be heard from,
are ordinarily considered republican coun-
ties. but Wood has gone democratic this
year. and it is thought the democratic gain

make the majority for Hayes substantially
as above. The democrats concede the house
of representatives to the republicans by
good majority, but claim the election of one
senator in the Toledo district gives them
the senate by one majority.
THE LATEST HAYES MAJORITY ABOUT FIVE
THOUSAND.
Midnight.-The republican headquarters
closed up without full returns, but careful
calculations on all estimates except Wood
and Carroll give Hayes 3 ,s34 majority. The
democratic committee say Hayes majority
will be three thousand five hundred. The
republicans have seventeen majority in the
house of representatives. The senate is yet
in doubt. but the democrats concedc it TO
the republicans by one majority.
