OHIO DEMOCRATIC.


Dispatches from Ohio indica,e that
the Democrats have carried the state by
from 10000 TO 25,OOO majority. The to-
tai vote was light, although there was
fine weather throughout the State. The
Labor party polled about 10000 votes
which was unexpected. Tbs vote
came heavily from the Republican party.
The Legislature is claimed to be Demo
cratic, which gives the choice of United
States Senator to the Democratic pady.
In Iowa the weather was rainy and the
vote light. The returns indicate a fIe-
publican majority but the extact figures
are not yet known. There is delay in
getting the result, owing to the rains
and the scratching of BALLOTS.
~. CINCINNATI, October g.,
The election to-day has been pro
found surprise on both sides. The Work
ingmen's movement developed more
strength than even its own leaders look
ed for Two or three strong German Re-
by Bond, the Labor candidate, the Re-
publican vote being ridiculously small.
In one Irish precinct the vote stood !:
Bishop, 104. Bond, 56; West, IA. 1t ap-
pears from this that the Democratic vot-
ers stood by their party much more close
ly than the Republicans. The heavy in
roads of the G reenback-Labor ticket
upon the regular Republican vote have
totally confounded the Republican man.
ayers, and at this hour, IL o'clock, every
thing is abandoned. In addition to the
losses from the workingmen's vote, thou
sands of Republicans staid at home to
rebuke Hayes. The usual work at the
polls was done listlessly and without
spirit, or was not done at all. The disaf-
fected element has shown that it prefers
Democratic local and State Governments
and Democratic United States Senator
to anything that might be constructed as
an Endorsement of Hayes Southern poll
cy and civil service order.

THE ELECTION IN COLUMBUS.
The election in this city passed off more
quietly than for years. Scarcely any at
tention was paid to the registry law, bu
its provisions requiring subdivision O
wards was generally commended, as tend
ing to keep Objectionable crowds away
from usually troublesome precincts. A
fair vote bas been polled but it is very
badly scratched on the local ticket. 1t
will be late before the full returns of the
| city can be obtained.
