Tho olection returns in Ohio and' Pennsylvania lcavo tho result still doubtful. In Ohio there will bo n1 Democratic majority in tho Legisla-I turo, but it is doubted whether Pen-' dlcton is elcctcd governor over Haves', j In Penns3'lvania, tho ' Republicans liavo carried the Legislature, and probably elcctcd Geary over Packer, j Tho following aro the returns: Washington, October 13.?Noon.? Careful comparison, based on partial! returns from thirty counties, inciiifling Philadelphia and Allegany, shows a, Democratic^ gain of nearly. 4.000. Tho remaining Counties must average nearly 200gain to elect Packer. Geary's majority in Philadelphia was 3,-339. Cincinnati, October 13.?Hamilton County gives Pendleton 500 majority, I <ind elects the entire Democratic municipal ticket. Pendleton is defeated j by a very small majority; eorrcetcd j returns may elect him. Tho House j is Democratic; the Senate Ttcpubli-! can. This defeats the State's sane-' tion of the fifteenth amendment. PiiTAErELrHiA, October 13.?Bolhj branches of the J.cgislalurc arc Tic- j publican.
