ELECTION IN WEST VIRGINIA.

CINCINNATI, Oct. 11.-Returns from Ham
ilton county show Democratic majorities on
the state ticket of nearly IL 200. The major
tiles on the county ticket are from Ill to
5000. Follett for Congress in the first district
gets $40 majority; in the second district Jor-
dan gets 1,f6O The Republicans claim the
election of Congressman in the third, seventh,
eighth. eleventh, twelfth, fourteenth, seven
teenth. eighteenth and nineteenth districts.
The Democrats concede all of the above ex-
cept the third, seventh and twelfth, which are
doubtful. Votes in several districts are so
close that only the official count will settle the
matter The eighth, eleventh, fourteenth,
seventeenth and nineteenth districts are GER
tainly Republican. The first, second, fourth,
fifth, sixth, TENTH thirteenth, twentieth and
twenty first are surely Democratic. The other
seven districts are very close, with the proba-
biities of Republican success in the seventh,
twelfth and eighteenth. This looks as if the
delegation in the House would stand eight
Republicans to thirteen Democrats.
COLUMBUS, o., Oct. 1.-THE Democrats
claim the state by 5000 majority or more,
though the Republicans think the majority will
not exceed 10000. The congressional dele
CATION will probably stand six to fifteen, in
favor of the Democrats. The Democrats
claim the election of Follett in the first dis
trict; Jordan, second; Murray, third Lee
fevre, fourth Seney, fifth Hill, sixth Hurd,

fer, eighth Robinson, ninth; Mccormack,
eleventh; Updegraff seventeenth; Taylor,

CINCINNATI, Oct. 11.-Dispatches from the
congressional districts show very close con-
tests between Morey, Rep, and Campbell,
Dem, in the seventh district; Hart, Rep,
lev, Rep, and Wallace, Dem, in the eigh-
teenth. Morey claims majority of 40, and
Neal and Hart each claim from to II. An
official count will be required to decide be-
tween them. Wallace claims majority of 4,
and here also an official count must determine
Murray, Dem, in the third district, has ma
iority of PSI.
RUMoRED DEATH OF A CONGRESSMAN.
CINCINNATI, OHIO, Oct IA special from
Belaire, Ohio, says ~. L. Updegraff, Rep,
the successful candidate for Congress from the
seventeenth district, is reported to be dead.
His home is remote from the telegraph, and
the report cannot be verified, but it is known
that he has been low with Bnght's disease"
COLUMBUS, OHIO, Oct. 12.-Returns re-
ceived from fifty counties, show net Demo-
cratic gain of IS, 299 The thirty-eight coun-
ties to hear from will, tits estimated, increase
the Democratic majority to about 10000.
The Democratic gains in Cuyanoga, Franklin,
Hamilton and Montgomery counties will ex-
coed Fosters majority of last year. The con-
gressional delegation will likely stand IA
Democrats and I Republicans: Unofficial re-
turns elect Hart, Rep, over Neal, DEM, by
Is votes, and Morey, Rep, over Campbell,
Dem, by AZ. The Democrats claim that
Wallace is elected over Mckinley by Al votes.
