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.
