COLUMBUS, oct 12.-The result Of tho
election to day bids fair TO be close as It was
two years ago, when Gov. Allen was candidate
before. The vote In the State has been very
large, reaching tho highest nsures In years
when the Presidential contest aroused the peo-
pie The basis on which calculation for losses
aud gains are m ade Is the vote OF 1873. At that
time Allen was elected by a majority OF 6l7. In
i2 wards and townships where Democrats
have gains. those gains foot up to 2,l05. In nifty
wards and townships where Republicans
have gains, these gains amount to 2.SOi. In the
large cites, notably Cleveland and Cincinnati,
but l:tls Is known OF what the vote will be-
though in Cleveland II is conceded that large
Republican gains have taken place. Repubn-
cans claim Cuyahoga county bv 1000 majority
and Democrats concede It by 1900.
Only one ward OF Cleveland has yet been heard
from. and that shows Republican gain OF over
seven hundred.
In Franklin county ana the city Of Columbus
the Republicans have made considerable gains,
probably I'VE hundred votes. The vote
in MahoninR county, the centre OF the min
ing district, shows large Democratic gains
that county, hitherto undinchinRly Republican,
having gone Democratic by amatority OF hve TO
seven hundred. In the village OF New straits-
| vilie a small mining town In the Hooking Val
| lev mining region, Allen has majority OF lVo,
| gain OF 100.
The western Reserve counties, where the Re-
| publicans were expecting TO make such large
| gains, show the vote to have been small, except
ing In Cuyahoea where they seem 70 nave maze
At this hour 1l T. NJ both parties are conn :
