THE OTHER CONTESTS.
IOWA REPUBLICAN, BY A RE
DucED MAJORITY.

Both parties claimed Ohio by a small ma
jority, last night, but the drift of the rer
turns seemed to indicate partial, If not @
complete, Democratic victory. Dispatches
to the late edition of to-day's GAzRTTE will
doubtless tell the full story. Meanwhile,

CINCINNATI, Oct. 9.-Hamiton county
will give Hoadly from 5000 to 1000 ma
jority and at midnight the returns are favor
able to Hoadly In the whole State, though
the majority is not likely to be more than
10, 600 either way. The Legislature returns
are meagre, but hopeful to the Democrats,

vantage on either side, the Republicans
claiming the election of Foraker by a small
majority, while the Democrats were san

that Secretary Newman received last fall.
The temperance agitation that has swept
over the State had the effect of giving the
canvass most unwelcome uncertainty, and

pCcted to do. The day was a beautiful one,
and from present indications an unprece-
dented vote was polled.

body was voting, and this fact tended to
encourage Republicans, who have claimed

majority here.
