their county ticket. Cummings, treas
urer, Kauntz, recorder, and Messer,
representative, on the republican ticket,
are probably elected.
Returns from % precincts of the city
and Lucas county, received from demo-
cratic sources, give Bishop, 2,346; West,
1885, a democratic gain of 947 over the
voteof 1876.
COLUMBUS, Oct 10.-The republican
committee has received very little
news to-day and all political information
has to be obtained from the democratic
headquarters.
The democratic state committee, up
to this time, has what are called official
returns from just one-half the counties
in the state and these show net demo-
cratic gain, over the vote of last year,
of 1876. Taking this as basis, they
claim that Bishops majority cannot
fall below 25,0OO, and they think the
full official count will give him $4,000
or 10000 majority. In the absence of
definite information, the republican
committee comedies Bishops election
by $4,000 majority.
The democratic committees figures
on the general assembly are as follows:
in the house the democrats will have 81
MEMBERS republicans, 80; and the ma
tlonals or workingmen, 3; democratic
majority rs. In the senate the demo-
Gratis will have % members, and the re-
publicans 10; democratic majority 10.
This will give the democrats Al majority
on Joint ballot.
1t is not likely that full official count
will materially change the legislative
majority; it is claimed not more than
two or three at most. There is no ex-
element in the city tonight and no
crowds about the headquarters Of either
party
CLEVELAND, Oct. 10.-Later returns
show that the republicans.of Cayahoga
county have elected Curtiss, senator, by
a majority Of 81; also four out Of five
representatives., and the county treasur-
er. The latter by 165 votes. The
democrats elect the prosecuting attorney
and one representative.
Iowa Election.
/ CHICAGO. Oct. 9-Reports from iso-
| lated points in Iowa indicate that a

| ton Of the state. There are four tick
cts in the field, headed by Gear, repub'
/ lican, for governor; Irish, democratic;
Stubbs, greenback, and Jessup, prohi-
bitionst. Consequently, there is an
/ unusual amount of scratching, and the
summary Of the days work will be .un-
avoidably late.

majority. The only doubtful vote is

GERS seem to be running pretty evenly.

come in slowly. Gears majority is
5000 to 10000; Parker, republican rep

, townships, including Oskaloosa, give
Gear majority of $50. The county
ticket is terribly scratched, but indica-
tons are that the republicans elect their
ticket by $50 majority.
At the headquarters of the republi-
can state central committee very mea-
gre returns are received of the election

light one, owing to a heavy rain pre-

Icon state ticket by about 10000 ma
jority over the democratic
ticket. Gear, the republican
candidate for governor has been cen
sidcrably scratched by temperance
men, who voted for Jessup, the temper
