Ohio and West Virginia Political Affairs.
WASHINGTON. September 16th.-Reports
received here from Ohio and West Virginia
are very encouraging to the Republicans.
Democratic politicians, who up 10 a week
ago were Boosting loudly of the certainty OF
the Democrats carrying ONO III October
now say they do not count upon that State
going Democratic, but think they have
sIigIt chance there. The Democrats gener-
ally admit their inability to carry more
than two of four Congressional districts IN
West Virginia, though they say the State
will undoubtedly give its electoral vote to
Cleveland At the Republican headquar-
tiers West Virginia is not claimed Tor
Blaine, although the reports received midi
cate that there is every probability OF Il
majority OF the votes of that State beng
cast for Blaine and Logan. Representa-
tive Gibson. of the Fourth District, has been
in Washington for the past two days en-
deavoring, it is said, to get money to put
into his district. Not democrat
here, except Gibson himself, has the
slightest hope of seeing him return to Con
gress. Gibson was an ardent supporter OF
the Morrison bill AT the last session OF Con
gress, and he has at all times been loud in
his denunciation of Randall and other
Democratic members who voted against
the Morrison bill. His position on the
tariff will lose him his seat in the next
house. The First District Will also send
Republican representative to Congress.
Some ardent Republicans are claiming
fourteen of the twenty-One districts IN
Ohio but cooler heads do not
look for such a large gain in that
State. Secretary Mcpherson says that while
he expects that the Republicans will gain
several CongrcsSmcn in Ohio, he does not
expect to carry fourteen districts. There
is a great deal Of interest taken by OhiOans
here i'm the fight in the First Ohio District
between Major ButterWOrth, Commissioner
of Patents and FOllett, the present repre-
sentative from that district. Follett de-
feated Buttcrworth in 1872 by $40 majority.
The Republicans here are not at all san
eruine of the success of ButtcrwoTth. His
nomination they say, dspleased a large
number Of influential Republicans of his
district, and he has made himself unpopu-
lar with the workers in his district by
reason of his many unfuliilled promises TO
them. They say the district is Republican,
but they fear that Butterworth cannot oTIns
out the full vote In all other close dis
tricts the Republicans have nominated
their best men, and the prospects Of sue
cess are very encouraging.
The Result in Maine.
