OHIO AND WEST VIRGINIA The October Elections in Those States—Estimated Nla- - —«r —; - ~ Jorlties. Ohio. The election in Ohio on Tuesday, Oct. 14, was for Secretary of State, a Juduc of the Shpremo Court, a member ot the Board of Public Works, 4 members of Congress, and county officers. The returns, as sent out by the Associated - Press on the m rnlng after the elccti n, indicated a Republican majority of 15.000 to 17,000. Later returns from the same source, however, cut these down to about 10,0 0. A press dispatch from Columbus, Ohio, savs: Complete bnt unofficial returns reduce the Republican majority close to 10,000. Republicans claim it will be over that some, and Democrats that it will be less. It’ is thought that the official count will make it about eleven thousand, which reverses the Democratic majority of last year, bnt does not show any such cyclone as was claimed on the night of election. Democrats say they will make the fight for November with ns much vigor as ever. The following private dispatch by a member of the Republican State Committee has just been sent to Dudley at Washington: “Sixty-five counties show a net Republican gain of 21.544. Deducting Hoadly’s majority of last year, it leaves 9,613. Ido not lyiieve the remaining twenty-three counties will more than bring this up to 10,0 x). Allen, Ashlaud, Crawford, Darke, Mercer. Monroe, Paulding, Pickaway, Pike, and Richland show Democratic gains over last year." By close calls the Democrats carry all the-close and doubtful districts except that ot Frank Hnrd. v> ho is beaten. TheCongressmen-elcct are as follows; . ■ ; Democrats— , 1 James E. Campbell. 1. Beuj. Butterworth. 4. Chas. M. Anderson. 2. Charles E. Brown. 5. Benjamin Le Fevre. 8, John Little. 6. William D . Hill. 9. William C. Cooper. 7. George E. Senev. 10. Jacob Remains. IL Wm W.

McKinley, Jr. 21. Martin A. Foran. A press dispatch from Cincinnati says: The_ returns received from all parts of the State are uniform in showing an increased vote. In many places the increase is very marked. Another feature shown is that the people, ape. more than ordinarily arrayed in the two great p.rties. Both the Greenback and Prohibition vote are comparatively insignificant, and the vote was as distinctly marked as if the Presidential ticket had been before the people. A matter of gre ,t surprise is the large vote received by the Republican candidate for Judge of the Supreme Court There waa gener I belief that. he would fall far below the rest of the ticket, owing to dissatisfaction among the saloon men on account of His opinions on the Scott liquor law. On the contrary, it appears he has been carried fully up with the remainder of the ticket, and here in Hamilton County his vote is greater than that for Robinson. The unexpected feature of the election is the German vote, which was cast largely for the Republican ticket. Hamilton, Cuyahoga, Lucas, Montgomery and Erie Counties, which embrace - large Teutonic poirtilations, show heav\' Republican gains. Ln fact, they turned the tide and gave the victor}’ ito that party, Hamilton County aloue shows a gain of 5,000 on the vote of last year. Cuyahoga shows a gain of nearly 3,000, Lucas a gain of over 2,0C0, and Montgomery a gain of 1,700. Both tne Democratic and Republican press here agree that the election in Cincinnati was the bloodiest that has ever been held here. The Democratic papers assert that the thousand United States Deputy Marshals were-employed mainly in intimidating honest voters, while the Republican press construes the conduct of the police force and the deputy sheriffs in a similar manner, comparing it to the Mississippi policy. West Virginia. An Associated Press dispatch from Wheel! ng says: Returns are still very scarce and unsatisfactory. Chairman Cowden, of the State ReEublican Committee, concedes the State to the emoorats by 3,000. «... e says the returns are coming in so slowly he can hardly form an approximate idea of the real status in the State. 3. SMiller, Democratic State Comqiitteeman in this city, claims the State by 0,500. Chairman Leonard, Democrat, telegraphs irom Parkersburg that the State has gone 10,000. Baker, of the National Democratic Committee; places it at from 3,000 to 5,000. Wood County gives Maxwell, Republican candidate for Governor, 1,000. Harrison County, Maxwell's home, gives 800 majority. The Repulilicans have tna !<■ gain-* all over the .: State, but not enough to overcome the Democratic majority of four years ago. . ■ Later election Hot urns. OHI«, A Columbus (Ohio) dispatch says: Official returns were received at the Republican headSuarters to-night from Ashtabula and Wood ounties, these being the last to report, and they complete the list. The revised figures give Robinson a plurality of 11,421. This shows a Republican gain of 26,053, and a •De mocrati c gain of 2,102. In si sty - six co unties the Republicans made all their gains, and the; Democrats in the rest. The Republican gains in the rural districts are equal to their pluralit y. Chairman Ogievee concedes the election of Ellsbury, Democrat, in tlje Eleventh Dis rict. The delegation to Congress will stand elfiven Democratic and ten Republican. *- WEST VIRGINIA. A Wheeling telegram Says: State Auditor Miller has official and unofficial returns and close estimates from forty-two of the fifty-four counties, which give a Democratic majority for Wilson of 7,109. The seven counties to hear from will increase this to 8,000. The Register claims 7,0ii0 for Wilson—a gain over the combined Republican and Greenback vote of 1880 of 3,700. Chairman Cowden, of the Republican State Committee, says the back counties are showing heavy Republican gains and predicts less than 5,000 for Wilson. Still Ldter Election Figures. OHIO. A Columbus telegram says: “Almost complete returns are in from the official counts of the County -Clerks. From these And reliable semi-official sources the Republican plvraliti-a are: For Secretary of State, 11,321; Supreme Judge, 15,450; Members of Board of Public Works, 17,475. The Prohibition vote will be from 8,000 to 10,000, and the Greenback-labor vote about 2,000, with a total vote of over 750,000.” WEST VIRGINIA. A Wheeling dispatch says: As far as heard from twenty-eight counties in this State give Democratic majorities of 12,133; twenty-two counties give Republican majorities of 9,277; Democratic majority, 2,856. with four counties to hear from, which may increase the Democratic majority 1,200. The Democratic plurality in 1880 was 16.136, and 3,100 over Republicans and Greenbackers. This year the Republicans and Greenbackers fused. It appears, however, that Democratic Greenbackers, in most counties, went back to their party, and Republican Greenbackera did the same.

The attempt of the New England branch of the Baltimore and Ohio Telegraph Company to get the right .of way for its poles on the railroad land already oeccupied by the Western Union Company is resisted by the latter on the ground of its contracts with the railroads, which give it the right exclusively to place poles by the side, of their tracks.

HANGED FOR.HIS CRIME

A Business Man at LaCrosse, Wis., Murdered by a Dastardly Ruffian. The People Break the Jail, Take Out the Assassin, and Shew Him No Mercy, i - [LaCrosse (Wis.) special] F. A. Burton, President of the Blaine an L Logan Club here, was shot dead by a ruffian named Nathaniel Mitchell, but generally known as “Scotty,” at 8 o’clock this evening, -'while the Republicans were iorining.in process.on on Main street. Seven shots were fired in quick succession, The murderer was arrested and hurried Jo jail before the immense crowd could realize what had occurred. As soon as the fact was made known there was the most intens: excitement, and hundreds of men in unilorm and carrying torches hurried to the Court House yard and demanded that the prisoner be handed over to them. Sheriff Scout, Chief of Police* Clark, and a posse of police at the jail door tried to calm the Infuriated mnltitudiv — At 10 :30 p. m. the officers were not able to stay the mob, which refused to listen to argument. From 9. o'cloek to 10 the Court House yard and square presented a scene of great fury. The mob increased in numbers until the entire space on three sides of the jail was a dense mass of humanity, demanding that the murderer be hung. The torches of the men flared above the sea of heads, and the white jilumes moved resolutely about the square. The best citizens in the place were present, and Watched the fearful scene with blanched laces, but with no expressiop ot sympathy. There Were hundreds of women in the thoroughfares and the walks about the jail. The excitement grew steadily in force, and the demand at last found- 4 aders with coolheads, who went methodically about taking the man from prison aud lynching him. Beams were procured, and in a short time the heavily bolted and barred doors on the Fourth street side of the jail were battered in by the crowd, who poured into the first-floor rooms. The Sheriff and assistants succeed in-clearing the room the first and second time, but On the third rush the mob overpowered t hem and held its ground. The interior wooden doors of the cooking department yielded like so many pieces of plate glass. In the meantime the heavy oak door leading to the main stairway on the'west side was battered down, and the crowd was placed in full possession, of the .main corridor, Whilethis was going on the crowd became almost colossal about the place, but aside fronr the rush of the men at the jail the best of order prevailed. There were no drunken men. in the mob, the whole work being done bv resolute fellows who decided to make the murderer pay the death penalty before they left the square. Once in the corridor, sledge-hamme> s were used to break in the heavy iron doors, two in number, that intervened between there and the eell-room. These soon yielded, and as each advance was made the crowd on the outside was -apprised, and constant cheers of encouracement went up. The prisoner had been confined in ci 11 No. 3 on the lower corridor, and the crowd had little trouble in finding him. He was taken from the cell and dragged into the yard. He was identified as the man who did the shooting, and the officers, when appealed to, declared they had the right man. W hen he appeared from the jail-door, held up by the men who had him in charge, there was a long, peculiar yell that went through the trees and streets, making every one for blocks away realize without further -assurance that tho awful-—retrilmtion had been completed. Numerous men were soon climbing to the branches of the trees, and in a minute a tree was selected. A rojie was thrown to a man sitting on the lir-t strong limb. He quickly attached it, and everything was made ready for the execution. At this point in the proceedings there was a pause. Among the leaders were some who wanted the murderer to make a statement, while others, more impetuous, urged immediate action. The murderer declined to say anything except that he was the man who shot Burton.) -At this juncture the-ci y went round “I'ull him up !” “Hang hiinl” “Don't let him live a minute longer.” It was understood that the Light Guard Company of the Third Regiment Wisconsin National Guards had been ordered out to chargeithe mob, and there was an impression that the execution Would be prevented. The mob seized the rope and made a strong pull, but the .ruffian freed his hands and the rope broke before he was raised from the ground. In less than live minutes a new rope was thrown over the heads of the crowd and tell within a few feet of the executioner. This was adjusted, the prisoner’s hands and arms firmly tied, andin-anotliertao—-ment he was hanging in the air with his face closely pressed against the Irmb-of the t ree. The scenes of the night will probably never be experienced again in LaCrosse. Words fail to express the darkness and intensity of the gloom that has settled like a pall over the community, not only for the tearful act of the assassin, which has taken away one of the-bout mid most higltly estoemed youugmen of Wisconsin, but for the bloody in idents that succeeded. The body of the doomed man was left hanging only a few minutes w hen it was taken down lifeless and left in charge Of the Sheriff. When the excitement was at the highest and the first successful rush had been made on the jail door the fire bells rang out an alarm which was made general, and this, added to the steady roll of voices from the direction of the Court House, made the night one of awful features What citizens first thought was an alarm for help at the court-yard or a rallying signal by the mob proved to be a genuine alarm, and the department was callea so extinguish-a burning •workshop and storehouse connected -with tho Northwestern foundry and machine shops. The fire was soon extinguished, and that part of the crowd which had been drawn from the seme of the lynching returned again to the Court House Square, where they remained until the last act was completed. The body of Mr. Burton was taken immediately after the murder to the drug store of T. H. Spence, where an examination showed life to be extinct, every’shot having taken effect. " Those who stood near the scene of the murder say the man advanced from the crowd on the sidewalk to within a few feet of his victim and fired the first bullet into Ills back. Ms. Burton fell to the pavement, and the murderer followed with six shots into his body and head. Me then threw the revolver at Ills victim and gave him a kick, saying: “That is the son of a -—ythat knows me and th it 1 have been looktag for," or words to that effect. Alibis was dohe in irtnomcnt’s lime and before any one could realize What had happened. I The body of Mr. Burton was removed from the drug store tn his home during the evening. One bullet passed through the head, two through the lungs, and two into the abdomen, any one of which would have been fatal. In searching for a motive for the act the only plausible theory that is yet advanced is that two years ago, when Mr. Burton was acting surveyor of customs at this port, this man was frequently importuning for a hospital certificate so that heeould spend his time at thn hospital at the expense of the river men. Mr. Burton toldrtiim to go to work and stop drinking, and he would -uotmeed the benetitaof the marine physician. Another theory is that Mitchell thought he was ki 11 in g an other man. Mr. Burton was a broker and commission merchant. The motive of the murderer is not known. He is said to have been a desn rate character, who lias followed the river for a living. He has served a term in the State’s prison After throwing the first revolver at his victim it was found tha he had another in his pocket, bnt he was arrested before he had an opportunity to use it. The Republicans were to have celeb: ated the Ohio victory to-night with a. parade, fireworks, and speeches, but the scene changed to one of terrible excitement of a far different character.

TALKING TO THE PEOPLE.

Tames G.’ Blaine Enthusiastically Received at Every Point in the Wolverine State. Talking ib Vast Crowds at Muskegon, Saginaw, and Other I’laces. [Saginaw special.] Mr. Blaine did not leave Grand Rapids until 9:30. A swift run was made to the West during the .first part of the da*. The irst impOrtafit i-top was at Holland, a large Dutch settlement, where the entire population turned out. The audience he e had a more foreign look than at anyplaie in the State. There was hardly an American face to be seen. A number of the inscriptions upon the banners at Lofland were in Dut h. Between there and Muskegon there are a number of Scandinavian settlements, which turned out in large numbers. A number of’ powerful lumbermen, judging from the I anners they’ carried, were interi sted in sustainipg the Republican party as a mere question of Wages. At Muskegon there was a crowd of over 5,000 workingmen. The journey from Muskegop to Saginaw City, the capital of the eastern lumber regions, ■■was made without special incident. The important stops were St. Johns and Owosso,"where there were crowds of 5,000. Mr. Blaine made nothing during the day that could-beealled la speech. He arrived here soon after 6 o'clock, where he was-givena warm welcome. This is the home of Congressman Horr, who was having a good fight upon IPs hands for re-election until Mr. Blaine appeared in his district. He says that his visit will make everything easy for him. Mr. Blaine has thus far had his time devoted to the. mospsparsely settled region of the State. -His coming, following upon the heels of the Ohio victory, has given the Republicans the send-off they needed to give a majority of oU.OOO. This State is now so overwhelmingly Republican that tor the purposes of effecting any results it was hardly worth wbile for Mr. Blaine to "come here. Mr. Blaine was driven to the Bancroft House, where he took supper aboutp. m. Mr. Blaine,. Gen. Fremont, and Gen. Alger, were driven tc a stand in the principal square, around which -W.eriSraissembled -several thou sand p*eii] >ie, w! -- cheered w ildly as the two- distinguished gentlemen appeared. Mr.,Blaine introduced Gen. Fremont as the first candidate of the Republican party and the one whose candidacy had aroused more enthusiasm than that ot' any other. Gen. Fremont was received with great and prolonged cheering. After he had returned thanks in a brief speech the calls for Mr. Blaine were renewed, and in response he said: “Speaking as I was just now, of the great enthusiasm which attended the candidacy ot Gen. Fremont, and speaking thus of great political leaders, I am reminded—and could not indeed but be reminded when standing on Michigan soil —of a great leader whom you have lost since I last visited Michigan upon a political errand.

After Mr. Blaine and Gen. Fremortt retired, Senator Hale addressed the meeting at leugtiu.

OHIO.

The Republican Majority of 20,000 on Congressmen. [From the Chicago Tribune.? The Democrats are trying to pick up a crumb ot comfort from the fact that the Republican ma jority in Ohio on the State*ticket is not so larg • as reported the night of the election. They still feelthepain and mortification of the knockdown and Nack eye they received, but congratulate themselves that the eye is not so blacK as they feared it would be when the blow was first strtick. It is a pity to deprive them of such poor consolation, but we invite their attention to the majorities ill the Congressional districts, which represent popular sentiment on national issues mu<Jt more faithfully than the vote on the State ticket, which was influenced enormously by the local liquor issues. The Republican majority for Secretary of State and Supreme Judge may not exceed 12,000, The coolest and carettilest calculators before the election had estimated the average majority on the State ticket at 10. but bn Canal Commissioner, an office that caused no scratching on either side, and, therefore, is the fairest and best test, the Republican majority is about 15,000, which is a gain of 27,500 on last poll. But the oggrgate Republican majority on the Congressional vote is from 13,000 to 30,000. Official majorities in every case have not yet been ascertained, but the reports from the various districts warrant the following estimate of the Congressional majorities on both sides: DEMOCRATIC DISTRICTS. District. Majority. District. Majority. 3. Campbe11.....417,15. Wi1kin5........ 3,544 4. Anderson 317.16. Geddes 724 5. Le Fevre 4,51Qji7. Warner 221 6. Hill ~...3,600 21. Foran 1,407 7.
