the IOWA ELECTION.


DIES MONIES, Oct. 10, II .. m.--Returns
received BY the State Register up to this
hour have increased the Republican majority
In the Legislature.
Reports and summaries made at O'Clock
this morning cay is OF the 20 new Senators
elected are Republicans, and definite returns
give 81 Republican members Of the House
elected 10 20 Democrats. or the 20 unre-
ported the Republicans will probably elect
10; the House stands "a Republicans TO 40
Democrats. The II other new Senators will
probably stand Republicans and Demo-
Gratis. The Republican majority OH joint
ballot will be between 40 and 50. The re-
turns indicate the election of Stiles, Repub-
lican, to Congress.
Governor Sherman will have $4,000 or
more over Kline, and probably $1,000 over
all. Judge Reed nearly the same. The
Legislature is Republican on joint ballot. II
will be at least 40. The House 10 close, but
the Republicans will have at least or 10
majority. In the 9th Congressional district
indications are favorable for Stiles, Republi-
can. Prohibition is probably assured.
The Democrats now generally concede
that Sherman Is elected, but put his majority
at 5000, and concede to Republican ma
jority In the Senate.

IOWA AND OHIO.

The returns of the elections In Ohio and
Iowa are still incomplete, but enough are re.
ceived to show that Iowa has gone as all
good States should 60, and Ohio, although
the Republican have materially increased
their msjorities and percentage, has elected
a Democrat for Governor. 1t Is claimed
Hosdiey's majority is 5000 to 5000. This
would be reduced majority Of II 900 10
$4,000 for the Democrats who last year elect
ed the highest State Office voted for by nearly
10000 majority. Although Hosdley has
been incontestably charged with obtaining
his nomination by irregular methods, In fact
by bribery, It is not inferrable that matter
cut much figure in the campaign, as 1t was
not made an issue against him inside his
party, and the plain inference Is that the
high license issue, known in Ohio as the
Scott Law, and which the Republican party
Is identified with aud held responsible for,
Is gaining favor In the State. It has relieved
the industrial classes of the State of $4,000
600 taxation and shut up large proportion
of the low groggeries, but 1t has united and
solidl6ed against the Republican ticket all
the element that could be controlled by that
interest. II In one year It has SO overcome
prejudice rs to reduce the majority to the
figures named, 1t is . good omen that by an.
other year public sentiment and the ballot
will give q rousing majority to the party
that has had the courage to make the fight
with 50 strong and active an interest to con-
tend with. The Republican party has
achieved victory In Ohio even IL its candi
dates for Office are defeated. It has had the
intelligence IN have opinions and convictions
on this subject and the courage to vote them,
and that is victory II 1t never elected an
officer. a

THE OHIO ELECTION.


CINCINNATI, Oct. 10.-The Commercial Ga
zettc, in its last edition this morning, says an
Impression prevails that Hoadley is elected
by from 5000 to 5000 majority. Full returns
may give different result, and the outlook
il favorable. The Legislature is in doubt,
but Is claimed by both sides. The second
amendment vote IL large, but it is probably
defeated by the Cincinnati vote. Counting
the returns Is in confusion in this county ow-
ing to the very late work. The morning
newspapers have barely q suggestion of the
detailed vote. Everybody is worn out and
the progress to-day is slow.
CINCINNATI, Oct. 10.-Richard Smith of the
Gazette, did not watch the returns last night,
but to-day after looking over the field, said
he didn't regard Foraker defeated. At previ-
ous elections news Of Democratic success in
the election of Governors had been heralded
by Democratic papers the morning after the
election and conceded by Republicans, and
yet later returns wholly changed the aspect
Of affairs. He regards the precincts not yet
heard from as likely to produce greater Re-
publican gains. Foraker lost votes from both
parties on account of temperance. He also
thought the wool growers and swine growers
opposed him.
COLUMBUS, Oct g. tBulletin) I'VE have re-
ceived retu' ms from 7o5 wards and precincts,
which give net Republican gain of 1880.
At this rate Of increase, based upon the num-
Der of voting places In the State, the Repub-
lican gain in the State will be about 12,OO0,
which would elect Hoadley, figuring the
total vote received with the probable total
vote in the State as the increase In the Re-
publican gains. 1t is impossible to deter
mine who is elected tonight, but the chances
appear to favor Ho adley.
COLUMBUS, Oct 9.-The election to-day
was for State officers entire, with the excep-
ton of Secretary of State, for members Of
the Legislature, aud vote on three consti-
tutional amendments, as follows: The regu-
lation and taxation of the liquor traffic, for
prohibition, and for an intermediate court.
Comparisons are made with the vote for Sec
rotary of State in 1882. The amendment to
carry will have to receive a majority of all
the votes cast for Governor.
DAYTON, II o'clock p. NAT this hour 1t
liz safe 10 state that the entire Democratic
county ticket IL elected. There are slight
Republican gains all round. There was
heavy vote for the second amendment.
COLUMBUS, Oct. Six hundred and twer-
ty-two wards and seven precincts give a net
Republican gain of 1867, in total vote of
1868. The second amendment has more
than half the total vote the first amendment
Is hopelessly in the minority.

THAT rRE1eHr POOL.

Notwithstanding Tho published statement
October LIST, over the signatures Of the sever
al representatives OF Pacific Coast Railroads
In convention assembled, that the pool ar
rsngement for freights had been continued
under the contract system for another year,
the San Francisco Chronicle Of last Sunday
asserts that the Northern Pacific Company
did not enter into the agreement. Following
Is the statement made by the Chronicle: /
The true
state Of the case was that the consent to .
perpetuation of the system was fractional,
and John Muir, as Superintendent Of Traffic
OF the Northern Pacific Railroad and Oregon
Railway AMI Navigation Company, refused
to enter into the special contrac; pool.
~ cannot imagine" said the informant,
"why the proceedings went on after this, but
they did, and Muir was granted fifteen days,
during which he was to proceed East to con-
suit bis principals and form bis decision
whether the Northern Pacific would enter
the pool.o . .. .f r. ..E
ado / understand" asked the reporter,
shat the Northern Pacific Is not then men,
Der of the special contract poole"
"That Is exactly what you are 10 under
stand" was the reply.
"Will not this detection be likely to cause
complete disruption ?"
sit may" answered the Official, Sand |
certainly should not be surprised IL the work
of the pool had to be all gone over again"
In addition TO and confrmatory Of this the
Merchants and Farmers Association for the
Prevention Of Railroad Extortion" prepared
circular for distribution, stating the Northern
Pacific was not party TO the contract sys-
tenn adopted and recommending Its friends
TO give their rail freight 10 the Northern Pa
ciic Company which had refused to join the
combination. The Chronicle adds: "By
yesterdays Portland steamer freight was
carried which will make up train of four
teen cars, much of which would have gone
Northern had the Northern Pacific not been
In operation. One item was fifteen tons Of
quicksilver sent TO Montana aud another the
first installment of ten carloads Of apples,
which are to be delivered In that Territory
at i, cents per pound. Every day merchants
are availing themselves of the new facilities
for reaching the northern districts. Freight
will from tomorrow be insured to all dis
tributing points, and now that 1t Is known
that the Northern Pacific 10 not party to
the special contract pool. the Central Pacific
may begin TO feel that the merchants of San
Francisco are not slow to avail themselves Of
an avenue of relief as soon Is 1t Is opened"
The evidence appears cumulative that not
outstanding the published notice indicating
q unanimous convention there was reser-
walton of delay a. least on the part of the
Northern Pacific and that 1t has since secured
patronage below the pool rates. 1t is not
improbable, however, that as result Of the
antilles subscribed 10 by Gould and Willard
since the adjournment Of the convention that
the Northern Pacific has taken the last de-
gree and become full member of the Pacific

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.
oould's Alleged Interest in Wizards Schemes.

CHICAGO, Oct. 5.--The 7ribuns New
York special says: A large portion Of The
Wall street community imagined TO day that
they could see the hand Jay Gould was
reaching out toward the Oregon and Trans
continental and Northern Pacific stocks. 1t
was asserted by some Of MIR. Wizards friends
with great positiveness, that Mr.. Gould had
held all important conference with "Prince
Harry" during the day aud the memerious
question "What Is 10 become of the Northern
Paci6c?" had been settled. Mr.. Gould was
reported as having agreed to take hold with
Willard and '.boom" the stock bearing the
latter's name. 1t was said Gould and his
friends propose to furnish sufficient amount
OF money TO take care of the Northern Pa
c!fc Railroad Company's floating debt and
to buy up certain blocks Of stock which have
lately been rather elngerly held by appre-
hensive capitalists. Some Of Mr.. Gould's
friends gave color to these reports by saying
that both Gorld and Sage had thought IA
vorably Of Northern Pacific stocks and f., was
quite possible that they would ber1me
interested In them. ''If Jay Gould goes In
with Henry Willard" explained a saeacious
broker, abe has satisfied himself he can
make the combination pay him, lin some way
or another" Perhaps he has come ID the
conclusion that the only way to make q mar.
ket for his own favorite stocks Is to start q
big bull movement in Wizards, which many
brokers think are now ripe for just such q
move. Little doabt was expressed on the
street as to the fact that repeated conferences
had occurred between Willard and Gould
parties, and there was strong belief In
many quarters that either Gould or persons
representing Hun would enter the Directory
OF the Oregon and Transcominental very
soon.

The Northern Pacific Directors have re-
elected all the old officers. Gould and VIII
lard have had consultation. The bear
fight In "Villards" seems to have subsidized
and the prices Of stocks are improving. Not.
withstanding the Northern Pacific has had
to issue $4,000, 900 second mortgage bonds,
Willard has steadily asserted the Northern
Pacific owed no "hoating debt"-that the
Transcontinental Company had taken 1t all
up on satisfactory promises to pay. The

been taken. And now II Is stated Jay Gould
and Russell Sage will be made Directors OF
