by Telegraph to the Sentinel
CHICAGO, October 13.-The Times Wash
ington special says Chairman Barnum tele-
graphed from New York this evening that
his information warrants the statement
that Landers is elected by 1000 majority.
Previous Dispatches COnfirmed-NO
Figures to Fix MajOrities-A Gain
of 1000 i'm OhiO-Indiana Gone
Republican.
CHICAGO, October 14.-There is nothing
later from either Ohio or Indiana, except
to confirm last nights dispatches. The
net result of Tuesdays elections are about
as follows:
West Virginia is doubtful, but is prob
ably Democratic, with considerable Re-
publican gains, but have no figures at
hand which will positively fix majorities.
Ohio is from 10000 to 25, 900 Republican,
electing every man on the State ticket by
an average gain over last year of 1000
votes. The Congressional delegation is
fifteen Republicans to five Democrats, q
Republican gain of six. The election Of
a United States Senator is assured. The
local tickets generally show large Repub-
lican gains. This is particularly SO in
Garfeld's district.
Indiana is certainly Republican by 1000
to 10000 majority, probably nearer the
former figure-a Republican gain of IL, 900
to 1900. Less than half the returns are
now in, but the later ones have been more
favorable than the earlier ones. The Re-

lature, and have sixteen to spare. They
have eight and probably nine Of the thir-
teen Congressmen-a Republican gain Of
three, probably. They will elect a Repub-
lican successor to Senator Mcdonald. The
chief cities and towns are strongly Repub-
lican, as also the large manufacturing dis
tricts, where the tariff question told heavily
to the advantage Of the Republicans. Por-
ter ran about $4,000 ahead of his ticket,
on account OF the personal u%npopularity Of
Landers, and his own popularity. The
Republicans say the victory is due to
thorough organization, agitation of the
tariff question, prosperous times, the I'M
popularity of the Democratic nominees
and the exalted character of the Republic
can ticket. The Democrats family claim
fraud, but are evidently used up COM
pletely, having lost everything they claimed
and fought for. The election was very
fairly won, there being no frauds to speak
of, and perfect peace at the polls. The
Republicans are fairly boiling over with
joy, and there is rejoicing in every store
and workshop.
Tonight Secretary Sherman speaks here,
and there will be a tremendous meeting.
One OF the pleasant features of the cam
paign has been the freedom with which the
dafaofa6 PapJ1h1taon aonl;Icto, g. D.1,,
dent, including Grant, have taken the
stump, and heartily urged the election of
the Republican candidate. The Republic
can newspapers now figure out a probable
Republican majority in both houses Of
Congress after March 4th. The figures
are irresistible, if the Republicans carry
the doubtful Eastern States, and do not
lose any Congressman.
The Vote i'm Indiana.
INDIANAPOLIS, October 14.-In 500 pre-
cincts the Democratic vote is los, 900, the
Republican 116, S81, the Nationals 5,47s.
The same precincts in 1876 gave the Demo-
Gratis 100, 1876 votes, the Republicans 1867
768, the Nationals 5000. This is q net Re-
publican gain of 10,518. Forty-eight per
cent. Of the State vote is now in, and this
proportion of the gains will elect Porter
by 6,131 majority. This statement ex-
cludes Indianapolis, which gives 705 Re-
publican gain.
Grant Goes Back on Himself
New YORK, October 14.-In an interview
with a press reporter, Gen. Grant denies
authorizing DR.. Fowler to publish the in
terview had with him, and also contra
diets Fowler in several important particu-
lars. Grant says further, that the language
used was garbled, and the conversation was
private and never intended for publica-
ton. Grant also said: 81 am an admirer
Of Hancock as a soldier, and believe him
possessed of sterling traits as such; but
then I don't care to gauge him as to his
Presidential fitness"
