Republican, Garry Ohio.

Republicans Carry Ohio.
Special to the Star.
COLUMBUS, o., Oct 9-Ohio is conceded
to the Republicans by majority estimated
at from 5000 upwards. In consequence of
the universal scratching INDUCED in by
voters yesterday, returns come in pro-
vokingly slow. The Democrats claim the
following Congressman: Mcmahon, Le-
Fever, Hurd, Dickey, Geddes, Atherton,
Converse, Warner, Hill and Finley. Wiley
and Ewing are still in dispute. Butter
worth, in the First, is elected by about
1000, and Young in the Second by prob
ably 800 majority, and the entire Repub-
lican ticket in Hamilton County is elected.
Republican gains are reported from 593
wards and townships at Il, ,596.
Republicans Carry Iowa.
Special to the Star.
DEs MONIES, Iowa, Oct. 9.-Republican
gains are indicated in all but Con-
gressional Districts, and the entire Repub-
lican Congressional delegation is elected
without doubt. A Republican majority in
the State of from $4,000 to 10000 is claimed,
and the Democrats make no claim except
to the Congressman from the Sixth and
Seventh Districts.
Storms have interfered with the wires
and returns are coming in very slowly.
The Democrats Garry West Virginia
Special to the Star.
WHEELING, w. Va, Oct. 9.-The returns
so far received are incomplete, as the cleo
tion was hotly contested and the Greenback
vote confuses the result. The Republicans
have gained considerably in this district,
but the result is as yet indefinite. Martin,
Democrat is clearly elected in the Second
District, and the election of Kenna, Demo
crat, in the Third, over his Greenback op-
ponent, is generally conceded.
The next Legislature will be largely DEM
ocratic, with slight sprinkling of Republi-
cans and Greenbackers.
The vote on the county subscribing $685.
000. to narrow-gauge railroad from here up
the river to point on the Potomac River
in Virginia will be easily carried, and the
work will be commenced at once.
All the returns will not be in before
night and accurate estimates can not be
made but the victory throughout the State
will be accorded to the Democrats.
A Mixed victory in Indiana.
special TO the star.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. "a full vote has
been polled in this State, and the returns
come in so slowly and so thoroughly con-
fused that it will be difficult to reach the
result before noon to-day. The chances in
this district are in favor of Hanna for Con-
gress although De LaMatyr's friends do not
give it up. The Nationals appear to
have carried the Legislature. The Dem
ocratic State ticket is undoubtedly elected
by about 5000 majority. Sixty precincts
give a Greenback increase of 654 Demo-
cratic gain of 1877. The Republicans proba-
bly, elect Congressman in the First Fifth
Ninth, Tenth, Eleventh and Thirteenth Dis
trlcts. The remaining six districts are Dem
ocratic. The returns are very imperfect.
The total National vote in the State is about
10000. Both parties claim the Legislature,
and the Nationals claim the balance OF
power.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 9-3 P, M.-Returns
come in slowly. The Democrats have prob
ably made slight increase on the majority
on the State ticket over 1876
Their majority may reach six thousand.
The Legislature is yet in doubt, with the
chances in favor of the Republicans. The
Senate is claimed by the Republi-
cans. The Republicans have probably
elected Heilman in the First
Congressional District They have lost Sex
ton, of the Fourth, and Grose, of the Fifth.
The Marion County Republican ticket is
elected by a majority varying from 1000 to
1900. Many precincts will not be counted
before o. clock this evening.
