ports from the country districts come in slowly 1t will be.impossible for several days to get the accurate figures, but the indica-
 tlons are that Robinson's plurality will not exceed Il ,00O. The congressional districts are now about definitely settled the Demo- crats getting eleven and the Republicans ten The majorlties and gains as compiled at the Republican headquarters, emitting the coun- ties of Carroll and Geauga, give Robinson a l plurality of about ten thousand.

 WHEELING, w. Va, Oct 16.-There was never an election in this State after which the returns came in so slowly and so unsatis- factorily. Returns in full have been received ' from thirteen counties, which give a net Republican gain over Jackson (Dem) for Governor of ,877. Estimates were received ! with considerable fullness from nineteen other counties which show according to Dem ocratic figures gain of ,, 900 over the Green Republican vote of 1880. Republican figures in the same counties show a Republi- can gain of 3,146 over Jackson and a Republican gain of 493 over the basis used by the Democrats. Estimates and complete returns from thirty-two counties give 8 net Democratic majority of 2,383, a Republican gain of 3,789 over Jackson. Fixing majorities is simply guess work. There is absolutely nothing on which an intelligent estimate can be based. Reports of majorities sent out are merely guesses. As an instance of the mixed con- dition of affairs the two counties of Hamp- shire and Kanawha are striking examples Advices from the former county by Repub- icans show Republican gain of ,050. The
 Democrats claim a gain of 180. In Kama
 wha county the Democrats claim 800 gain,
 while the Republicans claim 300.
 CHARLEsTowN, W. Va., Oct. 16.-Kana-
 wha in this county gives large fusion ma
 jority, ranging from 800 to 1000. Maxwell,
 the fusion candidate, leaves this county with
 fully 1900. Wilson, the Democratic nomi-
 nee for Governor, will carry the State by six
 thousand. The Democrats in the county
 lose all the officers except few constables
 and justices of the peace.
 Maxwell's majority in Putnam county is
 250; in Wood 40; in Fayette ITO. In Tuck
 CT county Wilson gets 115 majority. The
 indications are that Wilson will have 5000
 majority in the State.
