as against six hundred and thirty-three
thousand and sixty-two for Secretary of
State, and six hundred and fifty-nine
thousand, seven hundred md sevcnty-one
for President last year, falling OFF in the
aggregate numbers of votes of between
twenty five and thirty per cent.
A great deal of scratching on all the
tickets is reported which will have the
effect of delaying the returns. The Dem
ocrats claim majority in both branches

polling ten thousand votes in Hamilton
county alone. In two hundred ard sixty

State the Democratic gain is four thousand,

SIN Ohio there were six State tickets in
the field, namely Republican, Demo-
cratic, dreenback, Prohibition and two
Workingmen's. The returns received
show considerable Democratic gains and
correspondingly large Republican losses.
The workingmen polled much larger
vote than WIS expected, and appear TO
have drawn most of their strength from
the Republican party, especially in
Hamilton county and the coal
mining regions. In the Western
| Reserve counties, where much
dissatisfaction with the policy
of the administration, which had been iu-
dorsed by the Republican State Conyon-
ton, has been manifested, the Republicans
also lost heavily, though what the per-
centage is cannot be stated at present.
The general indications point to the sue
cess Of the entire Democratic State ticket
by majority ranging from fifteen
thousand 10 twenty thousand. The Leg
islature is probably Democratic in both
branches, thus securing the election of o
Democrat to the United States Senate in
place of Stanley Matthews"
The New York Tribune says: 'tDis-
patches from Ohio indicate that the
Democrats have carried the State by from
1000 to 20, 900 majority. The total vote
was light, although there was fine weather
throughout the State. The Labor party
polled about 10000 votes, which was
unexpected. This vote came heavily
from the Republican party. The Legisla-
ture is claimed to be Democratic, which
gives the choice of United States Senator
to the Democratic party. In Iowa the
weather was rainy and the vote light.
The returns indicate Republican
majority, but the exact figures are
not yet known. There is delay in
getting the result, owing to the rains and
the scratching of ballots"
| THE ELECTION IN IOWA.
The State election in Iowa also took
place yesterday, resulting, it is believed, in
the election of the entire Republican State
ticket. John H. Gear, the Republican
candidate for Governor, is conceded by his
opponent to have received in the neighbor-
hood of thirty thousand majority. Tho
returns, thus far are very meagre, and this
estimate may be too high. The result,
however, will not be changed. A heavy
vote was cast in n few localities for Jessup
for Governor, which vote was mostly cast
fnr tho remainder of the Republican
ticket. There were four tickets in the
