Columbus, 0., October 18.—All efforts thus far to obtain the definite majorities by comities have failed, the republican county commissioners evidently feeling that inasmuch as Ohie has gone republican there is little interest felt in exact figures. The democratic state committee refuse all attempts at interviews by newspaper correspondents, saying they know the state has gone republican, and that the republicans have swept every doubtful congressional district, and that is quite enough tor them to know. Geti. Nash, chairman of the republican state committee, is occupied today in answering congratulatory telegrams from all portions of the county, and he will not attempt any figuring on returns until to-night Crowds are now gathered about the bulletin boards, but the only interest manifested is in news from Indians.

The republican committee conclude from the above figures that Townsend’s majority for secretary of state will be close to 20,000, and Mcllvaine’s plurality for su. preme judge will be near 23,000. No figures aave been received showing majorities fiven for congressmen, but enough is nown to make th© committee feel sure that the republicans have elected 15 out of 20 congressmen. At the democratic headquarters there are returns from 70 counties, and these the Democratic committee claim show net Democratic gain of 1,573 on secretary of state over Foster’s vote. They say that ths same ratio will shew a net gain in tbe state of 2,002.

the counties of Ohio* which show Townlarge cities Townsend wse cot considerable on account of his temperance record. This did hoShave its effect upon the balance of the ticket, and thane* tbe average majority for all the other candidates wHI be tolly 28,000. Wight viatnitA Wnxune, W. Va-, October 18.—Reports front We*t Virginia are coming in slowly. Ind icatione are that the vepubiicans have reduced the democratic majorities in a number of the counties, bnt their

majority will not be much below 8,000 if any. The republicans depended upon a larger greenback vote being cast than was thrown. It seems that this party which claimed upward of 25,000 votes in the mate will not poll over hall that number on election day. They largely went back to thto two old parties. Hon. George C. Bturgiaa, the republican candidate for governor, ha* led his ticket considerable. He carrie* Wood county, the home of the Democratic candidate for governor bya handsome majority, although ft has been largely Democratic hitherto. Kanawha co. probably elects the entire Greenback ticket but is claimed by the Democrats by a small majority. Morgan county goes Republican tty an average of 180, about its usual majority. Brooke county gives Jackson Democrat for governor 79 majority, a laas of about 75 on tbe vote of tour years ago. Hancock county elects the full Republican by a majority of 126.

The vote is unusually large, and not yet fully counted. Monongahela county gives the republican ticket an average majority. Furbee, republican, is probably elected senator from the counties ot Wetsell, Marshall and Marion. Marion elects the Democratic ticket by majorities of 50 to 150. Doddridge coun3 Ur will probably elect the republican cket but is olaimed by both parties. The constitutional amendments are probably carried. Harrison county elects Moon, republican, prosecuting attorney, and sends one republican and one Democrat to the legislature,

Whbblino, October 14.—Only a few counties in this state have reported the result of the vote ot Tuesday in addition to those given yesterday. No reports of any consequence have been received from the great Kanawha valley region, where the greenback vote is principally located. The result of the vote in. the state, therefore, is the merest guesswork. If the greenbackers vote in the state does not exceed 15,000: Jackson’s plurality for governor will be about 19,000. The democrats here are claiming the state by from 12,000 to 15,000, and the chairman of the Republican Btate Committee concedes it by 8,000. In 1876 the democratic majority in the state was upwards ot 14,000, and the returns from most of the counties, thus far heard from, show republican gains the majority this year, this, but natural lo suppose, will fall considerably below these figures. The vote in Ohio county is not yet fully count, ed. The entire democratic ticket is elected by majorities from 80 up to 300. Ritchie county gives Sturgiss, rep, 230 majority,* gain oi 105. Lewis county gives Jackson, dem, 150 a loss of about 75 on the vote or four years ago. Grant county gives Sturgiss 470 majority, a republican gain of 80. Both parties are still claiming Harrison county. It will take several days to settle precisely how the state has gone. Melver and McConnell, republicans are elected judges in the first circuit. The amendments to the constitution are adopted by a large majority. The legislature will be democratic in both branches.
