Telegraphic Summary. THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS. fflie Democrats Carry Ohio anti tlio Republicans lowa. OHIO. A heavy vote was polled at the election held ip Ohio on Tuesday, Oct. 0. Hoadley the Democratic candidate for Governor, was elected liva majority estimated, at this writins, at about 10,000, and the Legislature is in all probability Democratic. A dispatch from Columbus says: “Returns from 622 wards and precincts give a net Republican gain of 3,507; total vote, 182,618; first amendment, 20,166; second amendment, 92,450. The first temperance amendment is hopelessly in the minority.” A dispatch from Columbus at 2 a.m. Wednesday morning says: “Gen. B.li. Coward, managing editor of the Ohio State Journal, at this hour concedes the State to the Democrats by 12,000 as well as the Legislature. 2:45 a. in: “The last bulletin read 6howed a net Republican gain of 3,110 in 575 precincts, at which 163, 908 votes were polled. On the basis of 700,000 votes being cast, the State will only be Democratic by 5,813. The Republican Committee claim at this hour the election of thoir candidate for Governor by a few hundred. Chairman Oglevee announced that no further reports would be received.” 3 a. m.: Chairman Bargar, of the Democratic Committee, at this hour claims that the Democrats have carried the Legislature, and that it will have a majority of eleven on joint ballot, and that Thompson in Knox, Retallle in Perry and Welby in Hocking, close counties, are elected. He also concedes the election of three Republicans in Hamilton county and one in Cuyahoga county.” A special dispatch to the Chisago Times, dated 3:20 a. S. Wednesday, says: “The returns indioate e election of the Democratic State ticket by 4,000 or 5,000 majority, jfnd of the Legislature being Democratic In both branches, with the vote on the Prohibitory amendment close. Contrary to all expectations, the cities show Republican gains and tho Democrats hold their own in the rural districts, due to the Republicans in the country sacrificing their tickets for the amendment. While the vote will be closp, the Democrats have everything, and the Republicans concede that in submitting the Prohibitory amendment they armod the temper nnce element whose ingratitude turned on them.” A Columbus dispatch of the Xlth inst. to the Chicago Times says: “With returns from eighty counties and the other eight estimated, it is conceded at Republican headquarters this morning that the Democratic majority will be over 12,000. The Democrats do not claim tho State by rnoro than that. The be3t information is that the Legislative tickets at Cleveland and at Cincinnati are divided. On the proportion mutually claimed the Senate stands 21 Democrats and 11 Republicans. The House, Cl Democrats and 44 Republicans, giving' the Democrats a majority on joint ballot for Senator of 26.” Tho Chicago Tiitrunc’s special of the same date says: “The revolution is complete. Hoadley is Governor by IU,OOO majority. There is a bare hope that the Republicans may get the Legislature. It la not probable. The Democratic majority on joint ballot ought not, however, to be more than four or five. It will take a day yet to decide the point. From this it is seen that for the first time in nearly thirty years the Democracy have obtained control of the Executive, Judicial and Legislative branches of tho State Government of Ohio. It is believed the Prohibitory amendment has been defeated ”

IOWA.

A Des Moines dispatch, sent out at 1 O’clock Wednesday morning says: “The returns from the State at largo show a net Republican loss in forty-seven precincts of 731, which represents a little over 3 per cent, of the vote of the State. If this ratio should hold good it would result in a net Republican loss of 24,000, which would still leave the State to Gov. Sherman by a plurality of 15,000. It is probable, however that it will exceed that figure by several thousands. Many Republicans claim as high us 35,000 majority over Kiune. The Democrats concede the election of Sherman by about 15,000. —In the special election in the Sixth Congressional district, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Representative M. E. Cutts, Republican, the indications are that J. P. Cook, Democrat and Greenbackcr, has been elected by a small majority over Edward H. Stiles, Republican.”—A Dubuque dispatch says: “Dubuque city gives 1,700 majority for Kinne, and the county will give him 3,500 majority. All the advices received here up to 12 o’clock show large Democratic gains.” A press telegram of the llth n.„t.. trom ues Moines says: The Republican State Committee have complete and full returns ■from thirty counties and definite returns from twenty-seven, and partial returns from the other forty-two counties. These show that Sherman and the Republican State ticket will have a majority over Kinne and the Democratic ticket of 26,000 to 28,000, and a majority of 12,000 to 14,000 over all. Judge Reed does not run over 1,500 behiud the rest of the Republican State ticket. The result in the Sixth Congressional district is still in doubt, but Cook, fusionist, ,is probably elected by 200 to 300 majority. The Democratic committee claim that Sherman will have not above 5,000 plurality, with Hayes for Judge several thousand ahead. The Democrats insist that the Supreme Judgeship is in doubt. It is admitted that the Legislature is Republican on joint ballot, the Democrats claiming ten Senators and fifty-twfl Representatives. Municipal Elections. An Indianapolis dispatch says the Republicans elected the city ticket to-day by majorities varying from 28 on Treasurer to 800 on Clerk, and twelve members of the Council, a loss of six members. The Democrats elected twelve CouncMinen and three Aldermen. The control of the Council will be settled by a now election in the Fourth ward, where there was a tie. A light vote was polled. In the city election at Newark, N. J., the Democrats elected Joseph E. Haines Mayor, by 635 majority over Ilenry Lang, Republican. The Common Council stands: Seventeen Democrats, thirteen Republicans a Democratic gain of two Aldermen. Tb* Hoard of Education stands: Democrats 16, Republicans. 13—a Democratic gain of three.

LATER NEWS ITEMS.

Full returns of the lowa election (says a Des Moines dispatch to the Chicago Inter Ocean) “have been received from nine-ty-seven of the ninety-nine counties in lowa. Of these Sherman has majorities in seventysix amounting to 38,317, and Klnne has majorities in twenty-one amounting to 14,439. Gen. Weaver’s vote will reach about 15,000. The counties of Lyon and Shelby are yet to hear from, but they will not materially change the above figures. Sherman’s plurality is a little above 24,000, and his majority over Kinne and Weaver will be In the neighborhood of 6,500. In the Legislature the House will have fifty-two Republicans, and possibly fifty-three, which is barely enough for a constitutional majority. The Senate will have forty Republicans out of fifty. There is no doubt that the Legislature will enact prohibitory laws. There are at least thirty-five of the Senators who are pledged to use their Influence and votes in that direction, while a very large majority of the Republican members of the House were elected upon that issue alone, and of course stand pledged to work and vote for prohibition.” In an interview with a Chicago Tribune reporter, “Gov. Merrill expressed entire confidence in the Legislature’s purpose and ability to pass a prohibitory law; for, while the Republican majority in the House was small, it was sufficient. Besides, there were five out of the seven Greenbackerß who would act with them on that question, and prohibition would go upon the statute books.” The Sub-Committee of the United States Senate Committee on Labor and Ed ucatlon visited the Amoskeag and Manchester companies’ mills.

The committee had no desire for compulsory testimony, but Is he knew any of the grievances of the working people they would like him to state them. Father McDonald then oomplained that the tene-ment-houses wore badly constructed, being too hot in summer and not properly heated In winter, and that no supervision was exercised over food supplies by boarding-house keepers, which were often very bad.

OHIO.

Accounting for the Result of the Recent Election. Various Views, Theories and Comments of Editors and Politicians. The Prohibitionists Censured by the Republicans—Judge Hoadly’s Views. OHIO OPINIONS. [Columbus Telegram to St. Louis Globe-Dem-ocrat.] As the returns beoome more complete and their eccentricities are more fully developed, the Democrats are as much perplexed as the Republicans. Contrary to all precedents, the victorious party has been almost as silent as the vanquished. In no place that can be heard of has there been the usual boisterous demonstrations. Both parties seem to be dazed by the peculiarity of the result. What puzzles the Democrats is that they have lost where they should have gained and gained where they should have lost. The same thing compels the Republicans to wonder at and analyze the figures. Judge Foraker attributes hiß defeat to the zeal of the temperance Republicans in behalf of the prohibition amendment. Both candidates are agreed, for Judge Hoadley attributes his suocess to the same thing. Ex-Senator Thurman said last night that the contest had been won in a scramble, and that all prognostications as to its effect upon the future were worthless. [Cincinnati Telegram to the Chicago Inter Ocean.] Everybody now is discussing the battle and the defeat. Wool, wine and temperance is Halstead’s diagnosis. Others say it was poverty; that the State Central committee had only $9,600 all told; that they hoped for money, and kept on giving orders to the loeal committees and promising money, which they were unable to send, until finally the local committees refused to obey any orders that involved pecuniary liability, and so the battle was lost by default. Here in Hamilton county on election day the Democrats were doubly as full-handed as the Republicans In ready cash. [Columbus Telegram to Chicago Times.] There is cussing among Republicans, who are laying blame, some to Foster, some to Sherman, and others to the Legislature, for letting the temperance people have a chance to trade them off for their amendment. The Democrats attacked the Republicans In the country, where the latter felt-strong, and beat them there. The Republicans spent their force with less suocess in the cities, which were the Democratic strongholds, or their allies, the Germans. The liquor men and others were not to be drawn off this year. There is much talk about Sherman getting even with Foster, for the latter’s alleged conduct at the Chicago convention and treachery on all hands. Foraker made the most brilliant campaign of any candidate for Governor. Hoadly gained friends by the abuse heaped upon him and his sickness, and came back for the last week of the campaign jUst at the right time and when the trading by the Republicans for him In the country and against the second amendment in the cities was at high tide. [Cincinnati Telegram to Chicago Tribune.] Blunders reaching back for two years have made this result possible. The mistakes began after Gen. Foster’s second election when the German Republicans were driven from the party by coquetting with the Prohibitionists. This class has ever since been an element of weakness. They have repeated their action of last year and again defeated the Republican party. The German Republicans, neglected and abused throughout the canvass, returned to the Republican, fold despice its assaults upon their beer and gave It all the respectable show it had In the final struggle. The /Germans dm not defeat Foraker and hand over the whole political machinery of the State to the Democrats. It was the temperance people, who either did not vote at all or sacrificed the whole Republican ticket In the hope of carrying the prohibition amendment. It Is the God and morality portion of the Republican party of Ohio, not the beer-drinkers, that is responsible for the disaster. If the country districts and the Western Reserve had done only a fraction as well as the Germans of Cincinnati and Cleveland there would have been a great Republican victory. [Cleveland Telegram to Chicago Tribune]. The Prohibitionists denounce the Republicans and say they will fight over the same grounds again and again, but the general opinion is that they have shot away all their ammunition and can never make another such showing. [From the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette.] This defeat is attributable to several causes tho principal one of which Is the larrge class who have believed in the supernatural In poltics, who have roosted away up the air of sentiment, and expected the Lord to carry the election. This defeat has scraped the barnacles off of the party and made this a Republican State In 1884. We have bfeen defeated upon purely local Issues. If we had nationalized this fight by making John Sherman our candidate for Governor we would have easily carried the State. PRESS COMMENTS. DEMOCRATIC. [From the New York Snn.] One of the singular features of the election Is the different ways In which the prohibition vote affected the Republicans. The rural counties, where they pushed the defeated prohibition amendment strongly, responded with big majorities for the amendment, but with hardly the average Republican vote. In the cities, where tho Republicans were afraid to push the amendment, they made their chief gains from the. Democrats. Yet the beaten Republicans are at a loss to explain their defeat even to their own satisfaction. Deacon Richard Smith thinks the woolgrowers did It. Field Marshal Halstead thinks the wine-growers did it. John Sherman believes Foster did it; and Foster probably hasn’t recovered from his dozed condition sufficiently to do anything about it. At any rate, it is done, brethren, and vel done. We imagine that you will find that you all contributed to It unawares. The people havc ; 6imply registered their decree that the Republican party must go. That is the meaning of a Democratic Governor and a Democratic Legislature in Ohio. [From the Cincinnati Enquirer.] The Democracy of Ohio won a significant victory on Tuesday. They carried the State for the sixth time since the organization of the Republican party, more than twenty-five years ago. They gained the Governor and the majority of the Legislature in the antiPresidential year, when tho near approach to the national contest and the hot excitement growing out of State questions and local contentions tended to bringing out the electors In force. They overcame an enemy which was under the Generalship of the best Republican politician in Ohio, who was thoroughly equipped for'tho contest, and whose political fortunes were at stake. They survived the factional differences and the bitterness growing out of a warm fight for the nomination for Governor. They successfully resisted the effort to place on them the opprobrium of opposition to what the Republicans claimed to be the great moral reform of the period. They gallantly opposed the long fortification of the Republican party In office in the State and in the United States. They went to the front in spite of the embarrassments sought to be heaped on them by a pestiferous ring of barnacles which had been ousted from the control of the Democratic organization. They opposed treachery within and slander without • their lines, and achieved a victory which every thoughtful man must look upon as one of the guiding elements in the great contest of 1884. Ohio Is still the October State, and she will fire the first gun in the Presidential year.

The Democrats now have command of the artillery. The serried ranks of the Republicans have been broken, and the party Intoxicated with power has been taught. that it Is not invulnerable in a State which it has relied on as a Gibraltar In every national contest since Its birth. The result of Tuesday’s election means that the books are te be overhauled; that we are to have a much needed change In the administration of State affairs; that the people have come to understand hollow Republican pretenses; that there Is a tremencuous sentiment against fanaticism and oppression of special Interest; that there tea popular desire in this State for a change of party control In this oountryn that there te a healthy and well-organized opposition to an aristocratic system In the distribution of pnfelio offices; that the olvil-servJee should be arranged in the interest of the people rather than in the Interest of the office-holding class, with the responsible party In control in every place, major and minor; that Ohio is fighting ground next year, and that preliminary to that contest the people prefer the best of the two men running for Governor. REPUBLICAN. [From the Chicago Tribune.] It is now clear that the defeat of the Republican ticket in Ohio was brought about by the Prohibitionists. The losses In the dtle* In last year’s election, mainly due to the defection of the Germans growing out of the “Pond law” -and the “Smith” and antiSunday law, which were declared unconstitutional, were regained for the most part this year, but unexpected losses were met in the oountry districts. The latter were due to the treachery of the Prohibitionists, who voted some for their separate ticket and others for the Democratic candidates in exchange for Democratic votes for the prohibition amendment. The Prohibitionists, who had secured The submission of the amendment from a Republican Legislature, exhibited their ingratitude and treachery by deserting the Republican ticket, and they have assisted In establishing In poWfer a party from which' no restrictive legislation of any kind can be obtained. There never a more conspicuous instance of the perverse and unreasoning character of the prohibition cranks In politics. [From the New York Times.] So far as concerns the moral effeot of the election, it Is bound to be very slight. If the Democrats have carried the State by a small majority they have lost the decided majority of last year, though they were aided by a • much stronger prohibition diversion than at that time. If the Republicans, on the other hand, have reduced'their opponent’s majority in spite of tho Prohibitionists, they have won no victory that secures them the State next year, or that can have any great effect on the elections still to be held this year in other States. We may be sure that Mr. Hoadly’s “boom” for the Presidency, which he sets on foot by an effort to establish a “now Demooracy,” wiH not be again heard of, and we may be equally sure, and not less content, that Mr. Sherman’s prediction that the next Republican candidate will come from Ohie vylll be remembered only by malicious persons guilty of a desire to make Mr. Sherman’s life unhappy. [From the New York Tribune.] The Ohio Republicans were over-confident. It is true that they have polled a remarkable vote, but they underestimated the desperate energy of the Democrats. They relied toe much, apparently, upon the good character of the Republican party, and the bad character of the Democratic party, and Judge Hoadly’s blunders, forgetting that the classof voters whom the money of the liquor dealers would reach care nothing about the character of any party or the mistakes of any candidate. The advocates of prohibition have onoe more injured the cause of temperance by acting against the Republican party. The Republican party had put on tho statute book one of the most popular and most beneficial laws ever known for regulating the liquor traffio. The whole Democratic party wae hostile to it, from Judge Hoadly, who was of counsel against It before the Supreme Court, down to the keeper of the corner groggery, who was against It both for grog and party. If the Prohibition votes have put In Hoadly and a Democratic Legislature; they are In a. fair way to see the Scott law repealed or broken down, and all the ground lost that has been gained in this attempt to regulate liquor traffic. , The Democratic reform movement in Cincinnati is a ludicrous failure, and John R. McLean is boss. CABINET OFFICERS’ VIEWS. [Washington Telegram to Philadelphia Press.) The Republican politicians take the most cheerful view possible of the result In Ohio, and are disposed to treat it as a wholesomewarning. They generally attribute the defeat to the temperance question, and maintain that, in view of this issue, the Republican gains are very surprising. Nearly all the Cabinet officers who have been asked for their views express almost Identically the same opinion. Some of them go farther and think that the election will be a blessing to the Republicans in that it will encourage the Bourbon element in the Democracy ,to think that the tide has turned in their favor anyway, and as a consequence they will be more likely to insist upon extreme Democratic measures this winter than they would had Ohio gone Republican. Said one of the Cabinet officers: “In view of this election the Democrats.in the House will play smash gen erally, and tho result will be a Republican President in 1884. WHAT HOADLY THINKS.* My illness so withdrew me from the current of opinion that my judgment must be largely discounted. I hav.e no doubt the entire Democratic vote was out and solid for me. Besides this, the grape-growing counties gave us surprising gains. The wool-growers’ counties helped, and there was a very large accession to our ranks from the colored vote. Republicans claim that a good deal.of trading was done against them by Second or Prohibitory amendment fanatics.

LIEUT. STONEY'S FIND.

He Discovers a Btver in Alaska Twenty Miles Wide and of Immense Length. [Ban Francisco Dispatch.] Lieut Stoney, who went up on the last trip of the revenue steamer’Corwin, for tho purpose of distributing among the Tchuckchee Indians in Alaska the ss,ooojworth of presents given them by the Government in recognition of the shelter and food afforded the officers and crew of the steamer Rodgers, burned in 1881, reports the disoovery of a river heretofore unknown to geographers. The river had been vaguely spoken of by Indians to former explorers, and Stoney, being compelled to await the return of the Corwin, determined to see if there was anything In It. Accompanied by one attendant and an interpreter he proceeded inland from Hotham inlet In a southeasterly direction until he struck what he believed to be the mysterious river. He traoed it to its mouth, a distance of about fifteen miles, where be saw such Immense pieces of floating timber as to satisfy him that the stream must be of Immense size. He retraced his steps a distance of fifty miles, where he encountered natives from whom he learned that to reach the headwaters of the unknown stream would take several months. The Indians told him they came down a distance of 1,500 miles to meet a fur trader, and that the river went up higher than that. Havin'/ no time to go further, Stoney returned. It is Lieut. Stonoy’s opinion that the discovery of this river accounts for the large amount of floating Umber in the Arctic popularly supposed to come down the Yukon. The Indians stated that the river at some p'aces is twenty miles wide. It te within the Arctic circle, but in August, when Stoney was tnere, he found flowers and vegetation not hitherto discovered in bo high latitudes. He has forwarded his report to the Secretary of the Navy, and hopes to be permitted to come back to continue his explorations.
