ASSOCIATED PRESS REPORT.
TO THE DAILY LNTELLIGENCER
OHIO ELECTION.
IInyes' Majority About 1000.

CINCINNATI, October l3,-The follow
ing is bulletined at the Gazette office: The
returns from seventy-fve counties give a
Republican gain Of 1000, The thirteen
counties yet TO hear from are such as to
inspire more doubt than hope.
COLUMBUS, October l4.--There is still
intense excitement here over the election
news. The Democrats do not expect to
diSsipate Hayes majority entirely, but
claim it will be very small. The Repub.
liCans figure very close, but still rely on
several thousand majority.
After very careful figuring A. T,
WikoH, Chairman Of the Republican
State Committee, states that 60 counties
now reported give l0,607 majority for
Hayes. The 90 COnntiGs not heard from
gave Democratic majority Of 5,27l in
1873. The Democrats here claim gain
Of ,402 in lG Of these counties, and the
Republicans gain Of 1000 in four Of
them. This would leave n net majority
of 4,03i for Hayes. The Democrats con.
cede the State to the Republicans by 1000,
COLUMBUS, October ll.-RetIrnS con-
sidcred reliable from So 5counties received
by the Republican State Committee, show
u majority Of 3,l63 for Hayes, The
counties OF Wood, Carroll and Delaware,
yet to be heard from, are ordinarily con-
sidered Republican counties, But Wood
county has gone Democratic this year,
and Ii Is thought the Democratic gain
there will nCutralize the Republican
gains in Delaware and Carroll counties 80
Rs to make n majority for Hayes substan.
TALLY as above. The Democrats cOnCGdC
the House Of Representatives to the Re-
publicans by good majority, but
claim the election Of one Senator, The
Toledo district gives them the Senate by
one majority.
DAYTON, October 14.-An unofficial
count Of Montgomery county gives Allen
8,OO5, Hayes 7,lO2, Aliens majority 8l3;
Cary 1871, Young 1858, Cary's majority
$50. Shultz, Republican candidate for
Representative, Is elected by 40 majority.
A Democratic Senator for Montgomery
and PrebIe Is elected. Two Democratic
Representatives are elected in MOntgom-
cry. Aliens gain 4lS. The official returns
will not be likely to vary much.
HAYES MAJORITY INCREASED.
COLUMBUS, October li.-The Repnbli.
can headquarters have closed up without
full returns, hut careful calculations on
all the counties except Wood and Carroll
give Hayes 3,Si5 majority. The Demo.
cratic Committee say Hayes majority
will be $500. The Republicans have II
majority in the House Of Representa-
tivcs. The Senate is yet in doubt, but the
Democrats concede il to the Republicans
by one majority. We have no figures on
the State officers other than Governor,
and the official returns must determine
who Is elected.

and six children. He is the most preco-
CiOus and the most married youth have
met for long time. There was a mat
ter Of private Importance which this fel-
low related to me, aud II any one wishes
to know what it is he is respectfully re.
ferred to DR.. Camden. One OF
TIE MOST HORRIBLE CASE
| saw was that Of u man from Jefferson
county, who imagines that serpent is
COiled in his brain. 1t is enough to make
Chills tumble over one to think Of such q
thing With the feelings which this
mans Imagination must generate, he is
certainly to be pitied as much Us any
other insane man in the world. Another
interesting case was that Of woman
who thinks she has lost her hands and ex.
Cuses herself from the customary hand
shaking by explaining her supposed situ-
alton. She attributes the loss Of the
valuable members to treatment which she
processes to have received from her other
half, claiming that he used to tic her
arms together and that the cord severed
her hands from them. An amusing little
evidence OF mechanical genius which |
saw, came from another woman, who had
cut up tin plate and manufactured a
pen.knife and a full set OF false teeth
from it.
THE MANAGEMENT OF TIE ASYLUM,
DR.. T. b. Camden, the present Superin-
tendent, has held the position for three
years, lie is every inch n gentleman,
and possesses that executive ability
which is necessary to insure the SUCCESS
Of such an institution. DR.. Camden is
assisted by DR.. A. II. Kunst, who has
been connected with the Asylum for seven
years. lie Is one Of tho most agreeable
and accommodating men | have ever had
the good fortune TO meet, and | learn
from unquestiOnablo authority that he is
as good a physician rs he is n man. Itis
simply wonderful to SEQ the control
the Superintendent and his Assistant
have over even the most obstreperOus OF
their patients, and this control Is only
M illustration Of what can be accom-.
plIshcd by Kindness and the bcstowing Of
little attentions. The working force, in
all the departments Of the Asylum, aggre-
gates fifty. Besides the regular employ.
Ccs there are u number Of patients who
assist in the several wards and in the
kitchen and laundry.
CONCLUSION.
There Is no more deserving an institu.
tiOn in the State than the Insane Asylum.
Heretofore our Legislatures have dc.
yised liberal things for it, and | have no
doubt but hereafter they will give with
open hand for its completion and susie
nance. II is "a noble work, indeed, that
has for its object the aleviation Of the
sutlerings Of our common humanity, and
men Of heart throughout the State should
lend u helping hand to the cause that is
progressing SO handsomely at Weston.
