snow the following changes s on the vote ernor last year of -7,910, for Bell, Detno-
for Secretary of State the Repnblican l cratic candidate, 6,896, a net Republi-
gains are 2.002, and the Democrats gain 1 can gain of 1.014. This includes two
wards of the city of Cleveland and three
precincts of Hamilton connty. If the
rest of the State shows the aame relative
gain, the Republican majority of the
State will reach near 10,000. If; how
ever, Cuyahoea county gives a total
Democratic gam-of 2,000, as claimed,
and Hamilton county should give also
farther Democratic gains, this majority
will be. cat down to aboat what it was
last year.. The counties generally show
Republican gains, while the cities of Cin
cinnati, Cleveland and Columbus show
Democratic gains. It should bo borne in
mind that the comparison is made with
the vote of last year, when the Re publi
can majority was. 5,500. This is what
the Republican committee chums,'while
tho Democratic committee claims tho
State by a larger majority. Returns re
ceived, however, showB the result so far to
be as given first above. Each candidate
for Secretary of State runs ahead in hfs
respective county. In some counties
Barnes was scratched, on account of his
temperance principles. Little can be said
of tne members of Congress, save ths
probable defeat of Banning in the Seoond
district by Matthews and Hard in the
Toledo district by ex-Govenor Cox.

Nothing official from Cincinnati. The
Democrats havo probably eleced Con
gressmen in the 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, 7th,

9th, 10th, 11th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 18th,
19th and 20th, or 12 out of 20 districts.
Cleveland, October 10.—Tha election
was quiet and a largo voto was polled.
The entire retnrns are not yet‘in, but
enough is in to indicate that the entire
Republican ticket is elected by a m&jc
ranging from 1,500 to 2.500. Townsi
Republican, is elected to Congress by
8,000 majority.
Cincinnati, October 11,2 A. M.—The
Democrats elect the county ticket by 700
to 1.000 majority. Sayler, for Congress
in the first district, has about 1,000 ma
jority.
Toledo, October 10.—Tho majority for
tho Republican Stato ticket is 705. Cor,
for Congress, 850. Tho voto is the larg-
eat ever polled. Lucas county-sill Js**ty f° r Congress

New Yobk, October 10.—The Herald’s
special from Cincinnati says Alex. Sands,
chief editor of the Times, Republican,
says he fears Barnes has dropped folly
8,000 behind his ticket, which gives the
Stato to Bell. J. A. McMahone, Demo
crat, for Congress Fourth District of Ohio,
telegraphs to the Tribune that his elec
tion m conceced by 6,000 majority.
The Herald editorially says: Returns
received ibdicato that Ohio is carried by
the Republicans by a moderate increase
over the majority of 1875, and that In
diana has gano Democratic by a majority
of somewhat less, than that of 1874.
There has been no very marked political
change in either State, and nothing in
the returns encourage either party to
hope that it will walk over the course in
the contest fer the Presidency.
Columbus, October 11.—Since last re
port 56 precincts out of 86 in Hamilton
connty, considerably reduce the Republi
can gains—counting these and five wards
from Cleveland and Dayton complete-
show total gains for Barnes 12,039; Bell,
II, 274. Republican gain, 765 over Hayes’
majority. McMahon, Democrat, is re
elected in Third district; probably Mat
thews beats Banning in the Second.
Boynton (Republican) for Supreme Court,
is thought certainly elected. Later—It is
stated that Matthews beats Banning 5
votes.
. Cincinnati, October 11.—Democrats
from scattering returns, claim West Vir
ginia by 5,000.
Dayton, October 11. — Montgomery
county, Ohio, 1,300 Democratic majority.
Drake county, 1,000 Democratic majority.
Preble county, 400 Republican majority.
Green connty, Republican majority 1,900.
The vote is close, bat it is thought Mc
Mahon ie elected.
Cincinnati, October 11.—Complete
retnrns from Hamilton connty give Bell,
Democrat, for Secretary of btate 28,362;
Barnes, Republican, 27,634. Fink, Dem
ocrat, for Judge Supreme Court, 27,934;
Boynton, .Republican, 23,102. Clongb,
Democrat, for Board of Pnblio "Works,
28,019; Evans, Republican, 27,451. Say
ler, Democrat, for Congress from First
District, 14,099; Force, Republican, 13,-
500. Banning, Democrat, for Congrers
from Second district, 14,113; Mathews,
Republican, 14,138. The Republicans
elect the sheriff, connty clerk, recorder
and commissioner. The Democrats elect
the balance of the ticket. The Qaeetle
charges that the vote of this connty of
65,996, against 48,597 in 1875 is an evi
deuce of fraud.'
The Commercial says tho most impor
tant single influence has been that of the
Israelites, who have almost unanimously
voted the Democratic ticket, and may be
credited with the result in the‘S3ccnd
district. It is understood that the Re
publican Israelites hare generally suc
cumbed to the argument that Cincin
nati has put her capital in Southern rail
roads, and must look out for Southern
trade.
The Enquirer says tho result in Ohio
is so close that nothing definite cun bo
given this morning.' If tha Republicans
have carried tho State their majority is
not likely to reach beyond that of last
year.
Tho Catelte estimates tbe Republican
majority in Ohio at from 5,000 to 8,000,
.ud that Indiana is Republican by from
1,000 to 5.000. Holman, for Congress, is
probably defeated. The Republicans
claim a gain of perhaps ten, and certainly
eight Congressmen in Ohio and Indiana.
Columbus, October 11, 9:30 a. x—Re
tnrns indicate the election of Barnes,
Republican, for Secretary of State, by a
small majority. Boynton, for Judge of
the Supremo Court, will have a much
larger majority.
Further retnrns from the country show
continued Republican gains, which still
keep Barnes somewhat ahead of the
gains made by Bell in tha large cities.
It now appears that if the same ratio is
kept np in the remaining half of the
country, the Repnblican gains will more
that offset tho loss in Cuyahoga county,
and make the Republican majority in
the State about 7,()00.
