DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY IN OHIO
The Congressional Delegations Reversed
Only Five Districts Safe for the Re-
pubiicans out of Twenty-One A
Waterloo ROut-A Surprise in West
Virginia.

WAsHIEGToN, October 11.-Dispatches
from Columbus, Ohio, received at 2:9O a. m.,
report that the best information that can be
gained from both headquarters gives the
Republicans the Third, Eighth, Eleventh,
Fourteenth, Seventeenth, Eighteenth and
Nineteenth districts-seven in all. The
First, Second, Fourth, Fifth, Tenth, Thir-
teenth, Sixteenth and Twenty-frst are con-
eeded to the Democrats, leaving the Sixth,
Seventh, Ninth, Twelfth, Fifteenth and
Twentieth in doubt.
Up to 2:3O p. m. nothing has been re-
ceived from West Virginia.
The following telegram was received at
Republican headquarters here tonight:
COLUMBUS, O., October Ito D. B.
Henderson, Secretary: Things look worse than
last night. We are sure of but five districts.
Brigham is defeated in the Sixth Congress
sional district. Hart in the Twelfth and
Davis In the Fifteenth. Robinson elected
in the Ninth, MoreY in the Seventh is in
doubt. Mcclure, Rep, in the Twentieth is
defeated.

CINCINNATI, October 1.-THE ENQUIRER
(Dem.) claims fifteen Congressman in Ohio.
AS to maiOrities, it ventures no estimate,
but refers freely, editorisIly, to its tele-
grams. 1t says the victory is decisive and
overwhelming, and that it disposes of
Foster in politics 1t assumes that the cam
paign was dishonest one on the part of
the Republicans, because, as IL alleges, they
talked one way on the liquor question in
the country and another way in the cities.
It says the result is significant, beyond mere
local questions, that the Democrats, after
k,fv, r,oE,o 4
came near electing their man in 1880, and
that this, and probably similar votes in New
York and Pennsylvania, are prophetic of a
Democratic victory in the next Presidential
campaign.
A special dispatch to the Cincinnati
Gazette (Republicsn) from Columbus gives
the following as the probable list of Con-
gressmen elected:
Democratic-Frst district, John F. Fol-
lett; Second distric,, Isaac NJ. Jordan;
Fourth district, Benjamin F. Lefevre; Fifth
district George II. Seney; Tenth district, F.
r. Hurd; Thirteenth district, George l.
Converse; Sixteenth district, B. H. wilkins;
Twenty-frst district, Martin A. Foran. To
tai s.
Republieaus-Thirdd district, E. K Schultz;
Eighth district, J. Warren Keifer; Eleventh
district, j. W. Mcconnell; Fourteenth dis
trict, R. A. Horr; Seventeenth district, j. T.
Updegrsff; Eighteenth district, w. G. Nc
Kinley, Jr; Nineteenth district, E. B. Tay-
l0r; Twentieth district, A. s. Mcclure.
Totals. This leaves five districts doubtful.
OF these, 1t is probable that James E.
Campbell (Dam.) Is elected in the Seventh
district and Hart (Rep.) in the Twelfth.
Complete but unofficial returns from
Hamilton county show the following Demo
cratic msiOrities: Newman for Secretary OF
State, 1,065; Oakley for Judge of the Su-
preme Court, $500; Weibel for Board of
Public Works, 1854; Hawkins for Sheriff,
Ill; Dalton for Clerk, 937; Pugh for
for Coroner, 2,644; Rsbenstein, for
Recorder, 2,728; Kuhl, for County Commits
siouer, 3 III; COsgrove, for County Solicitor,
3 ,555; Fowler. for Board of Control, 8. 500;
Applegate, Infirmary Director, 3S1 Follett,
for Congress, First district, $50; Jordan for
Congress, Second district, 1,763 The Re
publlcsns claim the election of Beresford
for Sheriff.
COLUMBUS, October u.-Seven hundred
and sixty-three precincts show a net Demo-
cratic gain OF "a, $50, indicating a Demo
cratic majority IN the State Of of 35 900.
Additional election returns are coming In
slowly, as the Republicans are getting no
more advices and conceding everything but
few Congressman. Estimates this morn
ing put the Democratic majority in the
State at % 900, and make the Congressional
delegation stand 15 Democrats to 6
Republicans. The election of Mckinley
In the Eighteenth district, and Of Robinson
in the Ninth are in great doubt, and the
Republicans must carry both to get six
Congressmen. A peculiar feature in the
contest is shat while the Republicans were
championing temperance the prohibition
vote has greatly increased, and 1t is esti-
mated has larger per cent. gain than the
Democrats.
Cincinnati special dispatch to the
Commercial says: "HenrY l.. Morey IRE
publicln) is elected to Congress in the
Seventh district by 90 majority"
Returns to-day from the State election of
Tuesday have been meagre, and no syste-
matte effort is made to figure out the ma
jority on the State ticket. The Democrats,
however, claim the State by $4,000 or more,
though the Republicans think the majority
will not exceed 10000. The Congressional
delegation will probably stand six to one, in
favor of the Democrats. The Democrats
claim the election of the following:
Follett First district, Jsrdsn Second,
Murray Third, Lefevre Fourth, Seney Fifth,
Hill Sixth, Hurd Tenth, Neal Twelfth, Con-
verse Thirteenth. Geddes Fourteenth, War
ren Fifteenth, Wilkins Sixteenth, Wallace
Eighteenth, Paige Twentieth, FOran Twenty
first; and cOncede the election of Monev in
the Seventh, Keifer in the Eighth, Robin
son In the Ninth, Mccormick in the
Eleventh, Updegraf in the Seventeenth,
and TAYLOR in the Nineteenth.
WHEELING, w. Va, October 11.-Returns
show increased gains for the Republicans in
this Congressional district. General Goff IS
majority for Congress is estimated as high
as 1000 by sanguine Republicans. The
Democrats concede his election. Re-
turns from the Second district also
give large gains for the Republicans
but not enough to elect John W. Mason,
the Republican candidate. He telegraphs
tonight that he is beaten by about 500.
Gibson, Dem, is said to be elected by from
1,OOOto 1,5OO in the Fourth district. Kenna,
Dem., is doubtless reelected In the Kama
